s., ,4OO,OOO,OOOL LEFT TO Be
RAISED DURING THE REMAINING
DAYS OF LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE

Washington. Oct. 1s.-Reports on
Liberty Loan subscriptions gathered
shortly before noon today by the
treasury indicated that today's re-
ceipts probably would bring the to-
tai up to $3,600,0O0,0 900, leaving $2,4
00,O00,000 to be raised in the re-
manning two days Of the campaign.
The treasury now feels justified also
In predicting that the number Ct in
dividual subscribers to the Fourth
loan will greatly exceed the Third
loan's record Of 1S,3O0,0 900 buyers.
The; $2,40O,00O,000 yet to 30 raised
will be reduced somewhat, campaign
managers explained. by reports now
on the. way to- federal reserve banks.
In any case. however, said the head
quarters loan statement, "the task re-
manning is the most gigantic require
ment ever placed on the nation" a
Already loan directors have begun
to formulate plans for the Fifth loan.
Indications are that communities
everywhere will be urged to adopt the
selling plan worked out so successful
ly IN Sioux City, Iowa, and elsewhere
OF opening polling places and asking
citizens to enter their pledges. Sioux
City delayed taking subscriptions un-
til the last week, then citizens went
to their regular voting places and
without any house to house canvass In
one day subscribed $3,50O,00O. ex-
ceeding the city's quota-by $4Oo, 900.
The number OF subscribers by. this
method was 1880.
