Glowing Reports Pour
Into Washington; $50
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
their aggregate SupScrlPlioHo W.
i.;nfinitelv small" compared with the
s3.O0O.0o0 campaign goal, and that to-
davis reports should not be conduclve
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
campaign headquarters expects TO
have precise reports from every Fed
eral Reserve district and to be able to
mark the daily harvest of the nations
war credit drive. &C.,.
These reports are to contain no wa
ter or exaggeration, it was announced
THE Treasury managers to-day tele-
qraphcd district directors to make
ever effort to report exact figures OF
actual subscriptions, excluding all tut
ure pledges or promises, so that theM

attitude IS that the country shall kno"

Inns is the anniversary of the

During the speeches the National
League for Womens Service members
went through the crowd taking loan
subscriptions and acroplanes flew over
head, dropping Liberty Loan messages.

Mayor Hylan, in his address. said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: This day
marks the anniversary upon which the
United States entered this great
struggle to free the people from mill
tarism and to make the world safe for
democracy.
"Here at the City Hall ffty-seven
years ago my father and others bade
gocdby to their families and friends on
their way to the battlefield of the
Civil War. This is one Of the proudest
moments Of my life. to stand here and
say a few words for the great cause in
which we are all engaged.
This third Liberty Loan gives to the
people at home an opportunity to do
their part and render their assistance
to the nation in this war. 1t behooves
every one to do his or her part to make
it possible for the government to give
every assistance and comfort to our
ho y y,
actual lighting for us.
"Tho third Liberty Loan gives the
people who stay at home not only an
opportunity to invest their money. but
also 20 render national service to their
country.
cat time when our country is at
war all citizens, regardless of race or
creed, should cast aside their personal
views and subscribe to the views and
policy of the government under which
we are enjoying our independence and
freedom.
"The United States calls upon it's
people to support it in this struggle
with the necessary funds. The GOV
ernment makes to-day an Offering Of
$4,000 100000 of bonds to carry on it's
war activities, and it is the peoples
duty to respond literally to this call.
"Citiaens of New York, we can look
back with a great deal of satisfaction
TO tie part New York played in the
iast TWO Liberty loans. New York CITY
has reputation to maintain, and we
must not let our city lose its prestige
in this third Offering.
You men and women who are to
sell these bonds are,the advance agents
in this great campaign to aid our coun-
try and to maintain the standard this
city has set to the whole country.
"The people of New York will bv
the amount cf their subscriptions send
a message to the President that New
York is behind the government to the
limit of It's financial resources, and
that it is behind the boys in the
trenches who are lighting shoulder to
shoulder in order to preserve for US
thN liberties that We now enjoy.
"Other things may come, other great
duties may devolve upon the peosle Of
our city, but there is n service mora
important to be rendered Mt this time
tnnn to make the third Liberty Loan
tremendous success"
