THIS subdivision will be found on
i the honor roll when tabula-
tons Of the loan subscriptions are
finished. or this am sure because
of the remarkable enthusiasm among
the people, from farm and factory
alike, as well as the evident appre-
citation of the tremendous issues at
stake in this struggle.
When you get further away from
the great centres of population it
may surprise you to find so thorough
an understanding of Americas great
problems, military, industrial and
financial. In the seven counties of
my district 49, Livingston, Monroe,
Ontario, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne
and Yates-the chief consideration
among bond buyers is not whether
United States government bonds are
good or safe investments, nor wheth-
er their market price will fiuctuate
favorably or unfavorably for the
individual purchaser
The chief questions at issue con-
Germ the status Of the American war
machine. Men are interested rather
in the prospects for the troops in
France, in the possible failing of the
German food supply, in the figures
showing the comparative tonnage
destruction by the submarines for
the last few weeks. They realize
that before any question Of bonds
comes the more important question
Of the war and its outcome. And
this is reelected in all the work that

MOST encouraging results may
ASA be expected as an outcome OF
the Liberty Bond campaign in Sub
division No. 3. Everywhere there is
evident a spirit of cooperation and
determination to put forth the very
hest efforts in behalf of the govern
ment's success.
The district includes such impor-
tant centres as Albany. Troy, Sche-
nectady, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie,
Glens Falls and Gloversville, with a
population variegated enough to
show many different views of the
war. Besides, there are extensive
farming districts in this section.
II is with much satisfaction. there
fore, that | note the universal will
ingness of the people to lend a hand
in solving the great problems before
US. Everywhere it is realized that
our campaign for the sale of the
bonds means a great deal more than
appears on the surface. 1t is easier
to interest the people in actual war
talks than in discussions OF securi-
ties. The bonds are taken more as
a matter of patriotism than individ-
ual benefit. The audiences do not
need to be told that tremendous dan
gers awaited them if the bonds are

House toulouse canvasses prove

work, by the way, progresses with
machine-like smoothness. largely on
account OF the efficient aid given by
the women's committees. These COM

Of taking charge of the subscription

SO universal spirit of self-sacritice

millions. But they must raise many

The work of the women for the
loan has been splendid. They form
central organization. under the
direction of the Liberty Loan Com
mittee. At the beginning of the
campaign Mrs. John J. Pratt was
appointed chairman of the women's
committee for the Second Reserve
District. and Mrs. Cortlandt Barnes
was put at the head of the women's
campaign in the city. Mrs. Pratt
has been conducting the work over
the state. directing il from her office
in the Equitable Building. The work
outside the city has been done by
the women working in conjunction
with the local committees. The cam
paign in this city has been conduct
ed from offices in the Columbia Trust
Company Building, at Thirty-fourth
Street and Fifth Avenue. From this
centre hundreds of women have gone
out TO booths in hotels, stores and
railway stations, where they have
been working long hours taking sub

ing teams. For example, IN inc To-
bacco trade there are ffty-five teams
of six men each going day and night
in pursuit of bond subscriptions. Inc
central committees Of the trades, OF
which there are one hundred, are un-
der the supervision of the A1visory
Trades Committee.
The people of New Yorl; do not yet
realize what a colossal task contronts
them. The work assigned to our
trades committee was to raise S5Zo,-
600. 900. At this time we have Sc
cured something over SlOO,Ooo,ooo'
That means that we have to raise
about s4O0,OOO.0O0 in the coming
week. The members of the different
trades committees have worked
splendidly. They have been giving
their entire time to this patriotic Ell
fort. The plan has been to have the
trades committees WORK WIN the CHI
ployers and the employers appeal to
the employees and aid them in buying
the bonds. The bond selling teams,
working under the trade committee
nave been leaving no stone unturned
20 reach personally every individual
engaged in that trade. The employ
ers have been cooperating heartily.
They have subscribed, in many cases,
heavily themselves, and they have
gone further and tried to interest
their employees in the bonds.
Daily meetings are being held in
stores and factories all over the city.
The response from these meetings
has been satisfactory. The mechan-
les and the wage earners have been

scriptions; hundreds more have been
making house-to-house canvasses.
The first three weeks Of these wom-
ems work has Melted some $40, 100000
in subscriptions. Of this s. 100000
came from the women Of Buffalo;
another million has been collected in
booths; the Women's Suffrage party
contributed S2,50O,000.
With a Liberty Loan campaign
carried on so intensively as has been
this in the Second Reserve District
il is difficult to see why the response
has not been greater. 1t is a fact,
however, in the first campaign that
the heaviest subscriptions came in
the final week. Then the work of
education and publicity has told.
Thousands hold back to the last day
before they estimate the measure in
which they will show their patriot
ism.
But it was true Of the first cam
paign, and it seems TO be threatened
in this campaign that certain classes
will not do their full part. The wage
carriers have been doing well. Nearly
100000 a day in subscriptions of
from 500 to $50 have been coming
in from the East Side as the result
of campaign being carried on there
by soldiers from Camp Upton. Thou
sands of subscriptions, large and
small. have come from that camp,
showing that the soldiers are ready
to support their country with their
money as well as their lives. But 1t
is the testimony of those at work for
the loan that there is large class of
persons with comfortable incomes,
incomes of from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. who have been backward in
subscribing. In the first campaign
the farmers disappointed the COM
mittee. They had a reason then, as
they needed the money to put in
their spring crops. Reports indicate
that they have been doing better this

Chairman Of the Executive Committee
of the Distribution Committee

THE campaign was slow in start
i ing, largely due to the lack Of
novelty which was one of the factors
in favor Of the first loan, but there
is no doubt as to its complete sue
cess. Raising our quota Of 90 per
cent of the minimum amount of
SO 900 100000 is a big task for one
organization, but the results already
obtained and the optimism which is
felt by the members of the execu-
tive committee, as well as the en-
thusiastic cooperation they have
met. Justify the utmost confidence.
The members of this committee have
been working hard since the LIST of
August organizing the various dis
tricts, in cooperation with the chair
men of the district committees, and
they are thoroughly familiar with
the situation.
In New York City we have been
working through the trades commit
tees, numbering 1l5, and the metro
politan canvass committee, and out
side the city through more than six

RAY NORRIS
Chairman Subdivision No.

Things are very much furtner
L advanced in this territory than
they were at a corresponding time
in the first campaign, and there is
every reason to believe that Subdi-
vision No. / Of the Second Federal
Reserve will exceed its allotment OF
$50, 100000.
The response of the country dis
tricts is far better than in the ilrst
loan, and patriotic enthusiasm seems
to have been aroused in every COM
munity to see not only that its quota
is realized, but that it is exceeded.
The town Of Leroy stands out par
ticularly in this respect. It's quota
of 1921 900 was exceeded as early
as October Is. The town is using
placard for every home that buys a
Liberty bond, and the committee ex-
poets before the campaign ends that
every home will be using a placard
with a picture of the Statue Of Lib
erty and the words, IL Own Liberty
Bond" The spirit in Leroy is an in
dlcation of the spirit which exists all
through this section.
Buffalo is responding enthusiast
caly. The women's committee in
that city is exceptionally active, SELL
ing bonds over the counter in hotel
and department store booths. On
enc day this committee took sub
scriptions for $4,000 in these
booths. But here, too, the big drive
has not yet taken place. Many OF
the large manufacturing concerns
who have shown their intention to
Ell ter large subscriptions have not
done so yet. A house to house cam
vass will not get under way until
next week.
A special committee is soliciting
subscriptions of $4,000 or more,
adopting as its slogan Let No
Guilty Man Escape"
The indications all through this
territory are exceedingly encourage

t. being done by the various local
committees.
SO easily, in fact. was the cam
paign set under way that many OF
the smaller communities filled from
90 to Is per cent Of their quotas
within two weeks Of the beginning
Of the work. Committee member
ships were filled up with surprising
rapidity, and the men who were Sc
lected joined heartily in the work OF
rolling up heavy subscription
They were aided very largely by
suggestions from the various com
munitie5 approached, many OF them
coming from the buyers Of the
smaller denominations of bonds
There seems to be no doubt OF an
oversubscription in this district.

teen hundred local committees which
have been organized in practically
every community with 500 or more
inhabitants.
Each city has been assigned a
quota based upon its banking re-
sources, and in some cases the local
committees have voluntarily raised
this quota.
This has been the case, for in
stance, in Binghamton, n. Y, where
the quota of $3,300,O00 has been
raised by the local committee to
S5,000,000, the attainment Of which
is now assured.
In New York City we are confident
that the trades committees will Sc
cure from their members and the
firms, employees and customers in
their trades total of 100000, 900
or one-half Of the total allotment of
New York City.
No matter what pessimistic re-
ports may come occasionally from
certain localities, ! am expressing
my own sentiments and those of
every member of the distribution
committee when / say that have
the greatest confidence in the pa
triotism and good sense of the
American people. They have a
double motive for making an over
subscription TO the second Liberty
Loan-it is first of all paramount
patriotic duty, and in the second
place il is an unprecedented oppor-
tunity for the attractive investment
of their savings, and they can be
counted on to put the new issue
through.

WALTER +. COOKE
Chairman of the Committee at Buffalo


THE present outlook for the Lib
i erty Loan in Buffalo is encour-
aging. am particularly gratlted
with two things. First, the way
men of large means have come TO the
front and have taken allotments OF
bonds 30 to 100 per cent larger than
were taken by them on the first is
sue; also, second, by the responses
received from workingmen, whose
subscriptions would naturally range
from 800 TO $500.
Our trades committees, which
reach into every industrial plant and
mercantile house in the city, have
their work we'll under way, but the
results of the work are not yet very
apparent. From the reports which
have ben received, however, it is evil
dent that the number of subscrip-
tons in the various plants is so per
cent larger than in the first loan,
while the amount of each individual
subscription is increased in some
instances by 100 per cent.
The one disappointing feature OF
the campaign az the present time is
the failure of response from those
members of the community who are
amply able TO purchase in amounts
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 and
who have not done SO.
