doing. relieve the strain on our store of staples
We must aim to consume these things locally so

transportation agencies, freeing them for the
more efficient handling of products required for
military purposes. What we can not presently

Ebert H. Gary Sure
New Loan Will Be
Fully Subscribed

Ebert II. Gary, chairman Of the
board of directors OF the United
States Steel Corporation, IN state
n,ent issued yesterday, said there
,cas no doubt in his mind that the
Liberty Loan would be fully sub
sc,lbed, if only for the reason that
it is q safe and profitable Investment
Because of the extraordinarily
attractive Investment features OF the
new Liberty Loan" said Mr.. Gary,
"there need really be no question OF
the success Of the campaign for the
sale Of these securities. As a simple
problem of what is best for the IN
dividual who seeks safe investment
the Liberty Loan bonds represent the
most satisfactory solution. with a
most appealing income yield.
"But there is something else that
sbould be considered, which adds
much more to the value of these
bonds. We are sending abroad an
army and navy. consisting OF men OF
whom all of US are justly proud.
They need support Of kind that

support are limited. Here, however,

Summarizing the developments OF
the day and the week, the treasury
issued this statement tonight:
"Half holidays in many districts
caused sales TO slump. A snowstorm
in the Northwest also kept an army
of $4,000 workers virtually idle In the
Minneapolis district, just as they were
making their best strides. The holi-
day cut in badly on New York's total,
where an advance Of only Soo,0Oo,ooo
was made.
"The week has been much more sue
cessful than were the first two Of the
campaign, but none OF the workers is
oyeroptimistic. Chicago sent mes
sage tonight warning against too
much optimism, saying it was appar-
emily having an i'll effect in the Middle
West. New England wired in a like
vein.
Detroit went over her maximum
quota of s43,000,000 to-day, taking
first honors for a major league city
Efforts now are being made to reach,
$50. 900, 900. Richmond, Va. and
Tucson, Ariz, are two other cities
which have oversubscribed their
quotas. -. 81
"San Francisco reported that the
sinking of the transport Antilles by a
German submarine had good enect on
sales. The total for to-day ran close
to $4,000, 900, much more than has been
sold on previous ordinary days.
"The Atlanta district, which has been
having trouble arousing the interest Of
farmers, reported that it expected to
make great progress next week. Other
than the Atlanta district, certain sec
tions Of the St. Louis and Dallas dis
tricts are making the poorest showlngs.
boy Scouts and aviators aided to-
day in giving impetus to the sale
Three hundred thousand scouts took
the field for fve-day campaign, and
aviators and balloonists from every
aerial training camp flew over cities,
dropping paper bombs containing Lib
ertv Loan literature. A message from
President Wilson. addressed to the
Mayor of each city passed over, was
among the paper bombs dropped"

ternoon when seroplanes dropped "iron
crosses" as part of the Liberty Loan
campaign. They were small pieces of

The raid occurred soon after 3
o'clock, when the first aeroplane was
seen high above the city, making tow
ard the Statue of Liberty.
After circling the statue at a height
of five thousand feet, it turned north

One of the machines then swooped
from its high position until it was 1900
feet above Forty-second Street. Three
thousand of the iron crosses" were
dropped in a dash down Broadway from
Times Square TO the City Hall. The
stiff breeze took the Ksiser's letters
and hurled them in red and black cir
cles around the planes and drove them
well out of the course of the fight. so
that few were able to get the crosses
for souvenirs.
In The Bronx, however, they were
more fortunate, although at first the
souvenir holders were alarmed at the
trophies dropping from the skies.
