Washington, April 27.-StrOng rein

popular war credit as a result of the
celebration of Liberty day with parades
and demonstrations in practically every
part of the country yesterday.
Total subscriptions of $2,035, 800, 200
were reported last night by the treas
ury, but this represented pledges re-
ceiyed by banks and trust companies
up to the opening of business yester-
day. and yesterdays business will not
be tabulated until tonight.
The loan period is 20 per cent over
and only 81 per cent Of the three bill
lions sought has been subscribed.
This prompted officials to send out
word to local committees to exert
every bit of energy to harvest more
subscriptions. On the other hand, It
is recalled that when the second Lib
erty loan campaign was three-fOurths
over $l,199,0 100000 subscriptions had
been reported officially and more
than $3,400,000,0OO pledges rolled in

Sing, a Hindu, shot and killed Ram

to be used for aiding revolutionary
measures, is said by federal officials
to have prompted the shooting.
All but one of the 80 defendants
were declared guilty by the Jury.
