concerning the amount Of subscrip-
tions to the third liberty loan. no
figures will be given out for some days
and then only figures as to the actual
amount of subscriptions officially filed
with tho federal reserve banks. The
danger Of relying upon optimistic esti-
mates and unofficial subscriptions Will
thus be avoided.
This Information Will be made pub
lilo beginning at an early date. when
the department will be prepared to give
accurate figures. After the plan has
been developed the federal reserve
banks will report to the Treasury De-
partment the amount of subscriptions
actually fled, and those reports Will
be given out daily. The federal re-
servo banks will simultaneously an
nounce the amount of such subscrip-
tions officially filed in their own dis
tricts and will permit local commit
tees to announce the amounts of sub
scriptfons officially fled"
The new arrangement renders value

work to gather from each city, town
and county at the close of the days

We're to have been collected by the
