And it can’t be done by counting on the big subscriptions that! banks gnd financial institutions are supposed to have been holding’ back until the small investors subscribe in force. Nobody can afford to wait for anybody else these last two days. Big subscribers and smal] subscribers must join in one great drive to put New York where it ought to be on the Third Liberty Loan list. Is this or js this not the wealthiest community in the country? Are the five million and a half people who live in it as awake as any in the United States to the danger which menaces the Republic, or do their intelligence and patriotism, measured by national stan- dards, fall below Grade A? It is up to New Yorkers themselves to supply the answer. The Nation as a whole is certain to subscribe the $3,000,000,000 asked for and more, ‘news [rob But it’s got to But New York is behind—way behind—and the combined efforts of bankers who take $5,000,000 in bonds and individuals who take $50 will all be needed in the next forty-eight hours to put the city where it belongs at the finish. : What are cheers going to mean to men fighting in France unless they have solider backing than cheers?

Women in War By Albert Payson Terhune Coprright, 1018, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Erening World), : NO. 10—HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, Whose Book Wasa Cause of the Civit War. WOMAN, plainly dressed and of middle age, was ushered {nto the iibrary at the White House one winter day im 1863, when the Civil War w: t its height, From an armchair by the fire a black<clad mam rose to his feet as she came in. He was very thin, and {n his wrinkled face were written the cares of @ nation, He smiled as he came forward to meet the visitor, and he held out doth huge hands tn greeting, “Well!” he exclaimed, “So you're the little woman who brought on this big war! It's something of @ responsibility, isn’t it?” The man was Abraham Lincoln, The woman was Harriet Beecher Stowe. Here is the story of the deed she had done which “brought on this big war”: She was a clergyman’s wife, fragile of health an@ with a spirit of fire, From girlhood the thought of human slavery had filled her with flerce resentment, She longed to fight this national evil, but for years she sought vainly for some effective weapon. Her husband's parish at one time was in Ohio, There from the slave States to southward negroes were forever running for refuge. Mrs, Stowe and her husband and other "Abolitionists” eagerly helped the fugitives te hide from their pursuing masters, One such refugee slave girl, closely followed by her master and by officers of the law, came to Mrs. Stowe, Henry Ward Beecher and Dr, Stowe—Mrs, Stowe's brother and her husband—put the girl in a covered wagon and carried her by night to a biding place far back in the woods, where her master would not find her, This adventure later formed the theme of the runaway slave's escape from her pursuers, in “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” Helping Sla to Hide. eens “write something that would make the whole Nation know how accursed @ thing slavery 1s." Sho answered on impulse: “If 1 lve 1 shall!” And almost at once she set to work mapping out the earlier chapters of a book which she decided to call “Uncle Tom's Cabin, or Life Among the Lowly.” For its chief incidents she used facts that had been brought to her own notice or of which she had heard. Tho characters were largely drawn from slaves and slave owners she had met in the Southwest, Then, when at last the story was completed, she sold it, as a sertal, to an anti-slavery magazine, “The Era." The price she received for the whole serial was only $300, A Boston publi tier named Jewett liked the story and offered to publish it In book form, paying the author a royalty of 10 per cent. on all copies sold. Three thousand copies were sold on the first day of publication, Three editions were exhausted in less than two weeks. Mrs, Stowe's - » foyaities for the first four months after the book wag | Three Raitione:: published amounted to more than $10,000, Ssanieaia She was all at once the most famous woman : of the hour, And her “Uncle Tom's Cabin” was PANN swooping over the whole world, kindling everywhere a flame of resentment against slavery. In the South the book was de« nounced as a mass of malicious lies. In the North it was hailed as a mese sage from heaven, It stirred public feeling against slavery as all the pamphlets and orators on earth had not been able to. Lt carried its anti-slavery message across the In Great Britain alone it sold more than 1,500,000 dopies. It was nslated into nineteen foreign languages, igher and higher rose the tide of national resentment against slavery Incle Tom's Cabin" continued to grow tn public favor, And thousands an to clamor that the South be forced by armed intervention to free the es. Small wonder, th that President Lincoln should bave sent for the story's author and should have recognized her share in the confilct’s birth by saying to ne » you're the little woman who brought on this big war!” Sayings of Mrs. Solomon . | . . . | ie PheF amily of the Service Flag e Jarr Family By Sophie Irene Loeb .
