LOAN PLEDGES TABULATED
NOW TOTAL $4l1, 900, 900

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Prealdent
Wilson and other officials feel that
the American people must exercise
caution lest the good news from the
battle fronts cause u relaxation OF ef-
art on behalf OF the fourth Liberty
loan. Thus far no such tendency has
been noticeable and the campaign
has been going with an enthusiasm
comparable to that with which the
battle reports have been received.
Official reports today from all fed
eral reserves districts, except Kansas
City. which has not started taking
subscriptions, showed sH1,142,O50
pledges actually received, and ac-
companied by payment OF the 10 per
cent initial installment. This covers
receipts up to last night, but does not
include millions OF dollars In sub
scriptions OF which the initial pay
ment has not been made, or has been
made but not yet reported officially.
In order to raise $4,000, 900, 900. II
would be necessary to get daily
average Of $4,000. 900, and at this
required rate. approximately $1,000
000, 900 should have been subscribed
by this time.

RAISED ADVERTISING RATE
AS PAPER SAVING POLICY

Special TO The World.
KANSAS CITY, No. Oct. 2.--As a
wartime measure, advertising rates
have been increased by the Kansas
City Star. brought about by an order
OF the war Industrial board limiting
the amount of print paper newspa-
pers can use. The increased rate will
tend to reduce the amount OF space
advertisers will demand. thereby
conserving the paper supply. Under
an order from the government, the
Star and Times have just been oom-
PEELED to raise their subscription rate
based on the fact that the two papers
were sold for the price OF one.
There Is an acute paper shortage
in the nation and retreuchment orr
ders are general to all newspapers.
Free copies and other wastetul prac-
tices are being generally eliminated
