Third Campaign to Open on Ami
versary of This Country's
Entry Into War.
AMOUNT NOT YET FIXED
Campaign FOR F;Stat;on 20 Last Three
or Four Weeks-DetaHs Of
Third Loan not Yet
Yet Arranged.

Washington, March 4.-The third
Liberty loan will open April 6, the
FIRST anniversary Of the United States
entry into the war. There will be a
campaign Of three or four weeks.
In announcing the date Secretary
McAdoo said the amount Of the lean,
the interest rate, and other features,
such as convertibility of bonds OF
previous issues, maturity and terms of
payment, are yet to be determined,
and that new regulations will be nee
essary before the plans can be com
pleted.
The fact that the amount of the
loan is dependent on further legisla-
ton indicates that It will be for more
than 5000. o00. 900, the remainder Of
authorized but unissued bonds and the
fact that certificates Of Indebtedness
nov being sold IN anticipation OF the
loan bear AZ per cent affords some
Indication Of the interest rate
McAdoo Issues Statement.
In making the announcement, Sec.
rotary McAdoo said:
IL expect to ask the Congress al
an early date TO grant the necessary
additional authority. OF course. the
opening date Of the campaign Is some.
what dependent upon the new legisla.
tion. hut "a IL hoped and believed that
the matter can be considered and de.
termined In ample time to begin the
campaign on the date suggested.
April 6 will forever be a conse'
Grated day in American history and
II seems peculiarly appropriate that
the opening Of the second year Of
our participation In this war for the
honor and rights OF America and the
freedom of the world should be cels'
brated with q nationwide drive FOL
