DRIVE in FOURTH
LOAN ENDS WITH !
SATURDAY NIGHT
Says Subscription
Period Will Not Be Ex-
tended; Big Task Ahead

Washington, Oct. 17>-There will
be no extension of the Liberty Loan
subscription period past Saturday
night, Secretary McAdoo stated em-&
phatically to-day:
Furthermore, said. the secretary, It
will be necessary to have a fifth and
possibly q sixth loan, regardless of
the outcome of Germanys peace ne
gotiations.
The Treasury now feels Justified
in predicting that the number of in
dividua1 subscribers to the Fourth
Loan will greatly exceed the Third
Loans record of 100000 buyers.
This new record has been made in
spite OF the larger number of men
now serving in the Army and of the
influenza epidemic.
The $2,400,0 100000 yet to be
raised will be reduced somewhat,
|campaign managers explained, by
reports now on the way to federal
reserve banks.
In any case. however, said the
headquarters loan statement, the
task remaining is the most gigantic
requirement ever placed on the ma
ton.
Already loan directors have begun
to formulate plans for the fifth loan.

Sick Babies Put in Clothes
Baskets at Hospital

Because no cribs were at hand,
seven infiuenza-stricken babies at the

clothes baskets last night. The bas-
kets were furnished by the local Red
Cross chapter. They are of the kind
used for receiving garments from Red
Cross auxiliaries.
AS the result of the need for cribs
made public last night. hum
dreds of cribs were received this
morning. There is now a plentitude
of the beds for infants. Red Cross Of
ficials say.
But there Is an ever-increasing
need for nurses. In order to crush
out the influenza epidemic the SER
vices of every nurse in the city are
required. People who do not need
nurses and are holding them, are
roundly denounced by Red Cross Of
ficials. To reduce matters to plain
words they are akin to pro-Germans,
it is declared. How can people who
can do without the services of these
nurses, hold them while hundreds
are dying because of lack of atten-
tion" asked a prominent official.
I'VE must have the help of the
nurses! When Harrisburgers realize
this fully, the fight will be well on
it's way to a successful ending"
