Washington. April 3.-National recogni-
ton for the first place in the race for
the third Liberty Loan honor flag will
nave to be divided among probably n
hundred communities which subscribed
their full quota within a few minutes
after nine o'clock last Saturday morn
ing and reported iit such close order that
1t Is impossible to give each an indi-
vidual rank. Consequently, the treasury
has declared the contest result a null
tiple tie and tonight gave out the names
of As communities in five federal reserve
districts which are to share honors. Re-
ports from other districts later are ex-
pectcd to swell this list to more than
100.
In addition to the race for the honor
of reporting a full subscription list there
remains number Of contests for the
ranking by population classes. For in
stance. Burlington, VT, with a popula-
ton of 1000. Is among the first to re-
port in its class.
Reports to national headquarters to-day
on the total Of subscriptions already
obtained were few, as result Of Secre-
tary McAdoos order that local cam
paign committees should give out only
official figures gathered from banks, and
that figures for the nation should be
based only on federal reserve bank re-
ports. The treasury is hoping for some
official reports tomorrow, and for enough
to furnish a comprehensive idea of the
loans progress in the whole country with
in two or three days A number Of news
papers and committees protested against
the order to-day but officials repeated
that 1t was necessary to guard against
over estimating the daily progress of the
loan campaign.
Secretary McAdoos plea for very
large over-subscrption of the 50, 900, 900, 0OC
minimum Of the war cabinet was a de-
velopment of the day.
Deliveries of flags to communities al
ready have begun and will be continued
as fast as full certifcation Of local records
are made to the federal reserve bank of
the district.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
 TO BE SHORTER AND SHARPER
Win Start on September 2s and Will Will Continue Three Weeks
 Want Six Billions.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The cam paign for the Fourth Liberty loan will open Saturday, September 2S, and continue three weeks, ending October 19.
 In fixing three weeks as the length of the campaign instead of the four weeks as in previous loans, treasury officials plan for more intensive campaign. A shorter campaign, it was said, will also enable more busi- ness men to enlist as workers.
 The date of the campaign was an- nounced at this time in order to al- low campaign organizations to pre- pare for the sale of the bonds and to prevent the planning of other cam paigns which might interfere with the floating of the loan.
 Want Six Billions.
 Altho official announcement has not been made. the amount of the loan probably will be S6,000,0o0 and the rate of interest which the bonds will bear Az per cent. Should the treasury decide soon to place on the market certificates of indebtedness redeemable next June when taxes are paid, the amount of the loan may be reduced.
 Officials in charge of the campaign nave announced that special appeal will be made to farmers, who sub scribed literally to the last loan.
