The South made a particularly good

Towns Win Honors

WASHINGTON, April 6.-This was a
day of enthusiastic patriotic celebra-
tions, backed up by subscriptions to
government bonds of the third Liberty
Loan. Throughout the United States
communities observed the anniversary
of the nations entrance into the war
and gave material evidence Of their
support by pledging millions of dollars
to insure successful continuance OF the
struggle against Germany.
While parades and public meetings
we're in progress in nearly every city,
kilograms were pouring INTO Liberty
Loan headquarters at the treasury
telling of loans which had exceeded
their quotas in the first day OF the tour
weeks campaign, or even wltnln tng
first hour. More than $50 had reported
when the Headquarters closed tonight,
and more still were coming in.
Sioux City and Lynn, Mass, were
the largest cities exceeding their al
iotments. and thereby winning the
rioht to flv the honor flag of the third
Liberty Loan. The fact that most
others were small towns prompted an
announcement by the Treasury that

s3.O0O.0o0 campaign goal, and that to-
davis reports should not be conducive
to undue optimism regarding the 1nal
result"
Workers Busy Celebrating
It was impossible tonight to even
estimate the days subscriptions, since
workers in most cities reported they
we're too busy celebrating to tabulate
their pledges. by Monday or tuesday

have precise reports from every Fed
eral Reserve district and to be able to
mark the daily harvest of the nations

These reports are to contain no wa

THE Treasury managers to-day tele-
grabbed district directors to make
ever effort to report exact figures OF
actual subscriptions, excluding all tut
