While hopeful that the project would
be achieved at q comparatively early

BUTTONS GO WITH EACH BOND
BOUGHT

Washington, May 19--Amounts oil
subscriptions to the Liberty loan, II
was announced today, will not be
made public officially at any time UNI
til after June Is, the day on which
subscriptions close.
1T is planned by the Treasury De-
partment," says an official statement,
Ito give out each week the total num-
Der Of subscribers to Liberty bonds
received by this department, the Fed
eral Reserve banks and other agen-
cies. 1t will be a physical impossi-
bility to give out any totals of the
amount of subscriptions until after
June Is, the day on which subscrip-
tons close. The Federal Reserve
banks are using SO many agencies in
obtaining subscriptions to the Liberty
loan that necessarily accurate figures
as to the amounts subscribed will lot
be obtainable until the close Of sub
scriptions,
Every effort will be put forward
by the Treasury Department to give
to the public all information obtain
able on the Liberty Loan. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury, however, wants
all information that is given out to
be absolutely accurate.
1t is understood, however, that the
department will be closely advised
by Federal Reserve Banks and other
agencies from time to time as to the
rate at which subscriptions are be-
ing received and the total ampgnt sub
scribed. This probably will be done
ty telegraph by the various reserve
banks. SO that after the campaign Is
in full swing the Treasury Department
Will be Informed from day to day as
to its success.
The Liberty Loan button, one o.
which will go with each lend pur.
chased, has been approved and orders
have been given to manufacturers for
several million, The contracts for the
button were SO large that several
companies are to handle it.
The inscription o. the button reads;

ASK CERTIFICATES OF SMALL DE.
NOMINATION

New York, May 19-The Merchant
Committee of the General Liberty
Loan Committee is considering the
prospect Of appealing to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to issue loan
certificates in demonstrations Of SIS,
$40 and 500, it was announced today.
Louis s. Stewart, chairman of the
committee, said that small denom-
nation certificates would be more at
tractiye to department store patrons
and to small investors in general than
depositing an amount on account and
making other deposits until the total
. would purchase q bond. 1t was point
ed out by Mr.. Stewart that per-
son buying a certificate would have
an incentive to purchase enough to
get bond because the certificates
themselves would bear no interest
while the bonds would bear 3h per
cent.
Subscriptions to the loan came. in
faster and in larger volume yester-
day than on any previous day since
the terms of the 100000, 900 issue
were announced. The general COM
mittee of bankers and officers of va
rious institutions reported that the
public was beginning to respond and
that applications We're being receievd
every hour.
The largest single subscription an
nounced was that of the National
Bank of Commerce, which is taking
$1O,OOO,0OO for itself, besides a large
block for customers The PRUDENTIAL
Insurance Company doubled its initial
subscription Of $2,5OO,OOo and the
Western Telegraph Company and the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
filed subscriptions for $2,5OOO,OOO each.
The Erie Railroad Company today
announced q Liberty Loan install
ment plan for its 10000 employees. The
company will allow thirteen months
for making payments and will carry
the bonds without expense 70 the in
vestors.
