Washington, Oct. 17.-1n the face
of figures still showing the Fourth
Liberty Loan only little more than
half raised-up to $3,269, ,001, 500,
yesterday-the chief source of hope
last night lay in assurances of CAM
paign managers each of the twelve
districts that their respective fields
would prove up when final returns
are counted.
Supporting this attitude was the
addition of 1915, 100000 yesterday
to the total, the biggest single days
subscription. This still left $2,730,-
100000 to be gathered today, Fri.
day and Saturday-three days
S900,OO0,0O0 day. officials do
not expect that big rate to appear in
official reports at least until Satnr-
day. They believe billion or more
will be counted up after the CAM
paign has closed Saturday night
from the food of last minute sub
scriptions but they fear that unless
the official tabulated total runs con-
siderably ABOVE the four billion
mark on the latest reports Saturday
the loan may fail to reach it's goal.
When the third loan campaign had
but threedays to run, the official fig
ures stood at $2,579, 600, 900, and
increased to $3,OO6, ,OO0,O 900 by the
final night. The post-campaign tab
ulations added $1,171, 900, 900 max
ing the actual subscriptions Salts
100000.
Official reports do not show any
federal reserve district above 100
per cent.
Richmond district reports $153,-
0SO,200 subscriptions, 54 per cent
of its quota.
This was Navy Day in the cam
paign and on battleships and at
land stations throughout the world,
American steamers and naval ofic-
'ers turned in pledges of par of their
small earnings to help pay the ex
enses of the war Even without
yesterdays addition, the navy has
already subscribed more than s22.-
100000. Read Admiral #. CowIes.
Navy Liberty Loan officer, told Sec.
retary McAdoo yesterday. The Sec
'etary who has three sons in the ma
~ then proceeded to match the ma
Wy with another 800 subscription
for himself He also issued state
ment saying:
In the coming three days the
America" people must decide wbeth-
er the Fourth Liberty Loan shall be
q success or failure.
1T would be fatal to minimize the
gravity of the nations problem. In
three days we must raise almost So
OOO,000,000 dollars"
THE American people should face
thls stupendous task with the spirit
OF the American navy, in honor or
which We have just celebrated MA
Wy DAY. On land and sea all over
theworld the men OF the American
navy do not regard this Liberty
Loan merely as a campaign to raise
money; they look upon it rather as
battle. and they are pIunging into
thls battle with the spirit of Manila
Bay.
Let every individual American
take fresh inspiration from the
thrilling record of the navy.
Let us convoy the navy's ships
into the Kiel Canal with our Liberty
Loan dollars.
