Federal Reserve banks are far behind
actual subscriptions. Chicago unoffi-
cial returns indicated the real sub
scriptions are far in advance of the
official figure. San Francisco's unoffi-
cial total at noon today had reached
s30,0OoJSOo. and the New England, or
Boston total, was put at s4O,00O, 900.
st. Louis reported unofflcially that her
subscriptions were above $1,000. 900.
Cleveland committeeman declared
their district would total to date about
49, O0, 900. From Omaha came word
that many subscriptions had not been
officially reported. 1t was said the
city subscribed more than 5000 900
within fifteen minutes after the sale
opened. This is about five times the
total amount reported by the Kansas
City bank. The New York estimates
are much higher than the Official re-
port.
The Treasury Department declared
that reports from the farming COM
munlties OF the West and Middle West
indicate that the farmers and resi-
dents of small towns are going In
heavily on the loan.
Secretary of War Baker thinks
everybody should send letters to the
Kaiser. The letters. he says. should
be written on subscription blanks to
the second liberty bonds.
He suggested this in an address at
big mass meeting of employees OF
the State. War and Navy depart
ments yesterday afternoon which was
arranged by the local liberty loan
committee. and which was attended
by Secretary OF the Navy Daniels, As
sistant Secretary of State Philips,
and other officials of the three depart
ments.
Bonds Best Letters.
The mails are not running regu-
larry between here and Germany.
Secretary Baker said. But IL they
were and II each of you could send a
personal letter to the Kaiser, what
would You say to him? You would
tel him how you hated what he did to
the Lusitania; You would tell him
OF the wrongs which he has perpe-
trated against civilization and human
ity. and you would be less than hu-
man If you could refrain from ex-
pressing your views In exceedingly
strong language.
Now the mails are not running be-
tween here and Germany, so you can
not write letter to the Kaiser that
way. and even II you did, very much
doubt II the Kaiser would understand,
but you can write him a letter on the
back Of a liberty bond.
