ISSUE WARMING
ABOUT HONOR FLAG

wy associates ffesast
NEW YORK, April 10.-The honor
flag" idea introduced In the third
Liberty loan campaign, has been re-
ceiyed with such enthusiasm in the
New York federal reserve district
that the loan committee was obliged
yesterday to issue warning against
improper use of the emblem.
The government holds a copyright
on the design of the flags, which
cannot be sold and can be awarded
only by loan committees.
When a community subscribes its
quota it will be given bunting flag
to fly in its main square, but bunt-
ing flags will not be distributed to
individuals Instead, on purchasing
a bond they will receive receipt
made out on poster bearing a
colored reproduction of the honor
flags" This poster may be dis
played, but display OF unauthorized
posters, which would give credit to
persons who have not purchased
bonds Is prohibited
Although an order from Washing
ton prevented the loan committee
from issuing last night a report on
the total subscriptions, II was re.
ported unofflcially that large sub
scriptions amounted to more than
$5O,OO0OOO to say nothing of thou
sands of smaller sales.
