THREE BILLION DOLLARS
Certificates of indebtedness. Issued

Probably in April.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Three bill
lion dollars will be raised in advance
of the third Liberty loan, which will
probably be launched in April by
sale of certifctes of Indebtedness
under a plan looking to purchase of
notes by every bank.
The first issued will be of $780,
100000 or more every two weeks
until the sS,OOO,OOO,OOO is reached
by the middle of March.
Every bank and trust company i
asked to set aside per cent, of its
resources for investment in the cer-
tificates.
The first of the $5O,OOO,ooo GER
tifcete issues was announced to-
night. They will bear the same rate
of interest and will be dated Febru-
ary 10. The subscription. of this
and other issues will be received
eventually in payment Of Liberty
loan receipts. The secretary's plan
calls virtually for the loan of banks
big and little,> of the $4,000, 100000
aggregate of certificates issued be-
fore the real Liberty loan campaign
starts. By this means, that sum
would be gathered in the liberty
loan and the difference between that
sum and the total Of the Liberty
loan would have to come largely
from private subscribers. About
half of the first loan was raised in
advance by certificate sales and
about two-thirds of the second loan.
