FLAG COMPETITION
FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN
Director Of The War Loan Or
ganization Issues Statement
Concerning Requirements.

N~AA NAAA
In reference to the Liberty Loan
Flag competition, the Director of the
War Loan Organization of the Treas
ury Department has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
From preliminary reports there
seems TO be no doubt that this flag
competition is going to be very pop
ular throughout the entire country
and Will arouse great enthusiasm.
While the conditions governing this
competition have been already set
forth. and while it is recognized that
these conditions may be modified to
suit the individual needs of various
districts, there are one or two mat
ters that should be emphasized
l. Awards will be made by the
Central Liberty Loan Committees.
No awards should be allowed before
the opening date of the campaign.
You are at liberty TO accept the re
port of the local committee, but if you
have reason to believe that their re-
port of a full subscription is due 10
an underwriting by a number of banks
or by individuals, with the idea of
subsequently distributing the bonds to
the people at large. you are at liberty
10 disregard their report of a full sub
scription insofar as the award of flags
is concerned. The spirit of this plan
requires that before a community can
win a flag, there must be a real dis
tribution of bonds to the people equal
TO the amount of its quota.
,. We have stated that the names
of the communities winning the right
10 fly the flag will be transmitted to
the State capitals and there inscribed
either on a special Liberty Loan
Honor Flag or on a tablet or honor
roll located at the State Capitols. No
communications from towns Cor
citiesl should be made to any one
other than the Liberty Loan Commit
tee Federal Reserve Bank Richmond"
3. In order that the competition
may be somewhat classified, we want
Geographic reports from each dis
trict here at Washington as at the first
town in each State winning the right
TO fly the flag in the following classes:
Population up TO $4,000, over $4,000
and under $4,000. over $4,000 and I'M
der 100000. over 100000 and under
100000. over 250000 and under $780,
600, over 100000
All based on 1910 official L. S Cen
sus figures.
Particular attention is called to the
closing sentence of paragraph l to the
effect that the spirit of the plan re-
quires that before a community can
win flag there must be a real dis
tribution or actual sale of bonds TO
the amount of the quota to the people.
In other words it must not be a mere
underwriting of the bonds.

ESSENTIAL TO VICTORY
Industrial Efficiency Will Protect
Lives of Our Boys in the Trenches.

Industrial efficiency and economy
viii play as important a part as mill
tary organization and genius in deter
mining the outcome of the war; ac-
cording to Frank a. Scott, chairman of
the War Industries Board, which has
charge of government buying and SUI
peryision over the general industrial
activity incidental to the prosecution
of the war. The preparatory stage of
the war has passed for this country,
says Mr.. Scott, and the time has ar
rived when every resource, human and
material, must be placed at the dis
posal of the government.
"If it can be said there has been a
preliminary stage of our share in the
war it is over now" says the govern
ment's industrial director "Our
troops are already in France, and we
have begun the actual raising of
huge army here at home to be sent
abroad when the time is ripe We
have passed the period of expectation.
Efficiency and economy in produc-
ing and distributing the governments
requirements are as necessary to sue
cess as courage and intelligence in
battle The Stacker at home is as con-
temptible a figure as the coward in the
presence of the enemy. The luxuries
of peace must give way to the necessi-
tics of war"
