Present Outlook for Success of Loan Distinctly Disappointing, Says Treasury Review of the
 Loan Situation

Washington, October II. Celebration of Liberty Day tomorrow throughout the na- ten is expected by Fourth Liberty Loan managers to send the campaign forward with a jump from the $2,269,- S76,200 total where the record stood tonight. This reported ran increase of $245.000,000 over yesterdays total, and lncluded a few subscriptions 1ecorded today, following President Wilson's appeal for an oversubscription to give the loan world significance.
 Public meetings and parades arranged for Liberty day have been called off nearly everywhere because of the in- fluenza epidemic, but thousands of vol-
 
 vases. Stores will close for the day, or half the day, in many cities. In Wash ington the importance of the day as 8 stimulus to he lean, is considered so great that mout government departments will suspend business to permit employees and officials to give all their energy to the loan. President Wilson will partici- pate in the celebration at New York, and Secretary McAdoo at Chicago.
 Commenting on the days showing, the treasury review tonight said:
 ''In the face of high official pleas for united support of the loan and emphatic declarations that peace talk should not cause slackening of subscribing, this result and the outlook for the success of the loan is distinctly disappointing. ' CORRECT FIGURES GIVEN
 Runners reaching headquarters today indicating suspicion that actual figures are being held back, drew from the treas ury this denial:
 sInasmuch as the belief is prevalent in some quarters that reports on sub- scrpticns are being withheld in an en- deavor to create bear. impression, it seeasis proper to explain the manner in which the official figures are obtained and made public. Every afternoon at o'clock, Washington time, the twelve federal reserve banks of the country report to the treasury department every subscription through incorporated banks and trust companies, on which deposits of 10 per cent have been paid These re- ports are made public absolutely with out change. The figures are taken di- rectly from telegrans, sent by the gov ernor of each federal reserve bank that incorporated into the press statement. No attempt is made to create by those figures either a good or bad impression Of the manner in which the loan is pro- grcssing. The whole truth of the sit uaton is told by the figures, and they spealz for themselves
 The loan review added
 Briefly stated, the situation tonight Is that S532, ,000,OO0 must be subscribed on every one of the remaining seven work ing days of the loan if the total asked for by Secretary McAdoo is to be ob- tained.'
 Only s7 per cent of the s6,oooo 100000 has been raised

oueerest Coin on Earth.

Have you ever seen manila? 1t Is
a coin used by natives Of West Africa
and Is said TO be the most curious coin
In the world. In shape '"manillas" re-
semble horseshoe with the two ex-
tremities fiattened out like camel's
foot. Being made Of solid copper,
three-eighths of an inch thick. they
weigh over eight ounces each. In
1"face value" seven Of these queer coins
are equivalent to 25 cents, so that 81
worth would be an ufcomfoftably
heavy load.
Not only are these "manllas' used
among the natives, but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores. At one time
this strangely shaped money had quite
large circulation in certain parts OF
the coast, but its use Is now restricted
to few bush towns and one includ-
ing Bonny, Brass and Akassa. "Ma-
1illas". are now very difficult to obtain.

Boys Saved From Death.
It was learned this morning that q
number OF young boys had planned
to ride the blind OF the North Coast
Limited Tuesday night for a cer-
tain point in the state, but had been
driven off by a. man In the vicinity
of Eighth street in Fargo. Had they
been on the blind, the chances are
they would have ben killed when the
engine left the rails,
The two switches, broken open by
the boys, are located about q half
mile east OF Casselton. The east
switch, as It ii called. Is on the
west passing track, and the other
switch leads to the stocky ards in
Casselton. A rock was used by the
boys in breaking the lock on the
main line switch. The lock on the
stockyards switch had not been
working for more than year and
never was locked, the chain serving
the purpose. According to Special
Agent Mcdowell, the Northern Pa
cific lamp-lighter had noticed Mon
day night that the locks were miss
ing, but overlooked the placing OF the
whitfield pegs to keep the levers
down.
