‘Enthusiasm at Sub-Treasury.
Besides the parade of the New York
State Guard last night,, Liberty Loan
meetings and demonstrations were held
throughout the city yesterday. Great
enthusiasm marked the Liberty Loan
meeting in front of the Sub-Treasury
yesterday, at which Douglas Fairbanks
and Charlie Chaplin took part. As far
as the cye could reach from the top of
the steps of the Sub-Treasury the
Streets were a mass of upturned faces,
and apparently all who could get the
necessary room to free an arm raised it
aloft when they were asked to pledge
themsélves to buy Liberty bonds. |
The promise of Charlle Chaplin and
Douglas Fairbanks—not to mention a
hint that Mary Pickford might grace the
occasion—tied up traffic in the finan-
elal district in a knot that the police re-
serves could not begin to undo. Wall
Street was jammed full of humanity
from Trinity Church to William Strect,
while Nassau and Broad were packed
from Pine down beyond the Curb mar-
ket, Old George Myles, who has guard-
ed the front hallway of J. P. Morgan &,
Co.'s offices for years, said he had never
seen a crowd which approached yester-
day's for density. ,
