From Stan Correspondent,
CAMP LEE. VA. October oG-The
troops at Camp Leo more than trebled
the maximum amount Of Liberty bond
subscriptions set for them at the be-
ginning OF tho campaign here. An
nounccment made to-day showed that
the officers. enlisted men and pcrina-
ncnt civilian employees at IN. camp
had subscribed to total OF sl7S3o5o
worth OF Liberty bonda during the
two weeks intensive campaign which
has been carried on This represents
Sj3.o6, more than ono bond man.
Not only are the men Of the Eightieth
Division throwing thcm-nlves into the
military game with Il vim, but they
are supporting the government in a
financial way that puts them unre-
servedly behind the country in the war.
START OF EIGHTIETH
tuGURS WELL. FOR FUTURE
This does nc. represent the complete
manner in which the division has come
TO the front. General Cronkhite has
said that the EIghtieth Division must
DE first. and it has already made a
start that augurs well for the future

scrip,ions for the Liberty loan the dl-
vision set a pace for the rest OF the

he city OF Pittsburgh subscriptions to
The amount of si.3l7.90o. and of which
special recognition was taken In the
official bulletin issued to-day. Members
OF other organizations in the camp
are now engaged in similar work, and
II is expected that before the Liberty
bond campaign throughout the coun-
try is closed, several additional mill
lions OF bonds will he sold through the
efforts OF men in this camp.
Leading the campaign is the Three
Hundred and Nineteenth Regiment.
