corporated banks and trust companies
throughout the country .,ave not yet

tinues. land while the Liberty loan
committees have unofficially reported a
number Of large subscriptions which
have not yet been formally filed, even
making due allowance for these unre-
ported amounts, the subscriptions thus
far received indicate the necessity for
the hardest kind OF work on the part
OF the whole country for the balance
Of the campaign. SIS
"The Secretary of the Treasury. has
requested subscriptions to an amount
Of $4,000. 100000 in order that allotments
might be made up to $4,000, ,00o, ,o0o.vo =. 3

order to obtain subscriptions Of sb. .000,l

been only about sac, 900, 900.

press upon the people Of the country
that this vast undertaking must not
be left to the people of great wealth,
as no such sum can be subscribed ex-
cept by the earnest cooperation, Of. all
the people of the country

AT LEAST 10000. .oo0

Analysis OF the returns show that the
reserve bank of New York has placed
In actual subscriptions moro than
twice as much as the rest Of the coun- I
try. To maintain the daily average of
subscriptions. the total at the close lof
business last night should have been;

total is less than one-sixth of this
sum.

with figures announced at the various
Federal reserve bank cities. local head
quarters of the loan. Thus. at Phil
