SUBSCRIPTIONS

With Drive Two-Fifths Over
Less Than 0ne-third of the
Amount Wanted Is Pledged,
Says Treasury Department,
10y MORNING ,ournAl SPECIAL LEASED w,Rs,

Washington, April 1.-THE Third
Liberty Loan campaign is two-fifths
over and less than one-third of the
$4,000, 900, goo minimum has been Off
ciallH recorded as subscribed.
The total reported tonight to the
treasury, covering receipts by banks
up to the close of business last night
was 1852, 2,923,25O, or $48, 900, 600 short
of the $1,000, 200, 900 total expected by
tonight. This is $123,317,15O moro
than was reported last night.
Sales since the first day of the
campaign. when they started with a
rush, frankly are not up to the ex.
pectations," said the treasurys daily
review tonight. There is a feeling of
appointment, particularly in the
large cities. The country districts are
doing better than they did in previous
but the gains that they are
making are not Of sufficient size to
offset the lack of sales in the larger
communities.
'The need for constant steady driv-
ing by sales committees every day
throughout the remainder of the cam
paign is plain. Only persistent daily
and hourly effort will restore the cam
paign to the rate which it had ac-
quired a week ago, possibly under the
impetus Of the start of the honor flag

OBSERVE SUNDAY
AS LIBERTY DAY
IN ALL CHURCHES
Appeal Issued TO Clergy to
Hold Special Services for
Third Liberty Loan Cam
paign in District,

Dallas, TEX. April 17.-Next sun
day, April 81, has been designated
by the secretary of the treasury as
Liberty Loan Sunday" and appeals
have been issued to every clergyman
in the eleventh district to observe this
day in a fitting manner. j. w. Hoopes
of the Federal Reserve bank has is
sued a special appeal to the clergy
men, in which he states that it is the
special duty of every clergyman to
save America at this profound crisis
of international existence
Religion makes patriotism posi-
tive law he said. ITO believe in
God is to be a patriot. 1t is unneces-
sary to urge further upon the relig
ious leaders of this district the neces-
sity and propriety of preaching pa
triotism from their pulpits. To at
tempt to instruct the clergy in the
line of thought which they should
follow would be folly. Yet attention
should be drawn TO the fact that
there is one aspect of the great ma
tional question which hitherto has not
received sufficient attention.
"One of the terms which a victor
ious Germany would impose upon
this country would be the right to
colonlZe, trade ana educate freely in
this land of ours. Germany seeks
not only our wealth; it is the soul
of America that she covets. Our chill
dren must be saved from such a ca
lamity as Teutonic domination. Con-
ceive, if YOU can, the condition of this
world if we allow such condition to
prevail. Property would go to the
mat with the strongest arm and the
most inscriptions mind. Liberty
would die a shameful death. Freedom
would shrek az justice falls. Religion
would perish from the earth and
false God, one of blood, iron and
beastality, would be set up for the
worship of a cringing covering hu-
manity.'
Mr.. Hopes has issued the appeal
the press as one means of
reaching many religious leaders who
Otherwise would be missed.
