Thirty four Races
Represented Among
Liberty Bond Buyers


washington, Oct. 24.-Thirty- four
nationalities throughout the country
today are pouring their money into
the second Liberty Loan melting pot
in an effort to make the campaign a
success. These many races, already
generous in their subscriptions to the

total today when they are reminded

this country caused them to seek
asylum here and that their new found
freedom can be guaranteed only by
victory for American troops abroad.
Confidence Is expressed here that
$500, 100000 will be subscribed before
the campaign ends. During the first
campaign the different races sub
scribed less than $250,0OO,00e, but

home to them during the present
loan and greatly increased sales have
resulted.

Washington, oct. 24.-Not COM
munity in the United States, so far
as the Liberty Loan managers can
learn, has failed to respond to the
call for today's big drive.
Parades, speeches, patriotic DEM
onstrations and bond buying are the
order Of the day from coast to
coast.
A flood of dollars, the like of which
has never swept in upon the treasury
before, officials predicted, will fol-
low.
How far toward the $4,000, 600, 900
goal the subscription total will be
carried, no one was willing to fore
cast. It appeared certain, however,
in the light of early advices, that the
two million workers throughout the
nation would roll up a mammoth
toll.
Liberty day dawned with less than
half OF the big total taken. Liberal
estimates from all reserve districts
indicated that 81, ,465, 100000 had been
subscribed up to the close Of business
last night, $35, 100000 less than OFF,
Cials had thought.
When leaders of the District of
Columbia Liberty Loan campaign
went to call on President Wilson
today, presumably to get his sub
scription to the loan, they learned
he had subscribed for $4,000 worth
of bonds through a local bank, pay
ing s1s, 500 Immediately, and agree
ing to pay the balance before Nov.

worth of the first issue direct from
American business gave way to

throuehout the nation by President
Wilson and the governors of the
states the occasion was marked by a
general suspension of trade. Nil
lions of workers, released from their
daily tasks, turned their attention 70

loan. Early reports from various
parts of the country indicated that
the drive today attained its greatest
intensity.
officials. federal, state and muni-
cipal. addressed audiences in every
section in an effort to dispel the
aoathy that has marked the present
drive.
In conformity with the desire Of
Secretary McAdoo. the main volume
of the popular appeal was directed
towards those who can subscribe
only in small amounts.
The storm did not prevent the buy
ing of bonds. The Irving National
bank pledged $10,000.0o0; the Farm
ars' Loan and Trust company $S,-
600 900: and the Western Union
Telegraph company $2,500,000.
Figures announced at IL o'clock
for the entire New York federal re-
serve district showed an overnight
gain of $4,000, 900, bringing the to-
tai at that hour up to $S65Q00.0O0.
