purchasing committee in Washington

The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war "by the straightfor-

out their gold, by selling enormous

that the end Of the war would find the

BANKS ASKED TO COOPERATE
Secretary Authorizes Financial Insti-
tutions to Receive Subscriptions
for the Bond Offerings.

Washington. --Secretar McAdoO tele-
graphed the entire list of q. 1913 nation
al and state banks and trust companies
in the United States, authorizing them
to receive subscriptions for the $1,000
100000 bond offering, enlisting their
cooperation, and requesting them to
telegraph a rough estimate of the
amount Of bonds each would take for
itself and its patrons.
You can render an invaluable sery-
ice to your country" Mr.. McAdoO told
the banks, "by receiving subscriptions
and cooperating with the federal re
serve bank in your district"
Loan Subscriptions Pour In.
To all clearing house associations In
the country Mr.. McAdoo sent tele-
gram in which he said:
'"The amount of the initial loan has
been determined by the needs Of the
government and not arbitrarily. The
enthusiastic and patriotic cooperation
of the banks and bankers of the coun-
try will guarantee the success OF the
undertaking"
The result of the first announcement
of the loan has been deluge of sub
scriptions, aggregating many millions.
Most of these came in by wire to the
treasury. Virtually every large city
and every state in the Union was rep
resented.
Lend $1Oo,ooo,ooO to italy.
Negotiations continued today with
representatives of the nations to
which the United States is extending
credit. Count di Cellere, the Italian.
ambassador, received the full amount
of the first $1OO,OOOOOO loan made by
this government to Italy.
Subscriptions to the second offering
of treasury certificates were received
during the day by the federal reserve
banks. Indications are that the secre-
tary will call for the proceeds within
a week, possibly few days.
The $1OOO00,O00 loan to France will
be turned over to Ambassador Jusser-
and, in whole or part, within day or
so.
