AS MILLIONS NEEDED

Atlanta, October 1S.-The Sixth federal reserve district must subscribe s4S, 900, GOO Saturday in order to raise it's quota Of $192, ,00O,000 to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Chairman Wardlaw of the district cam paign committee, disclosed tonight the tremendous task before the workers of the states in the Atlanta district by an- nouncing that the district lis about 75 per cent subscribed" At the same time he felt hopeful that redoubled efforts Of workers and unreported subscriptions would swing the Sixth into the column of districts which by the close of the cam paign Saturday night will have done their share toward raising the ss,0O0,00o, t, 900 the government has asked to carry on the war.
 Reports to campaign headquarters here have been optimistic deSp bite the handicap MT. WardlawRsaid many local commit tees. even those announcing the rais- ing of their quotas, have failed to give figures This, he said, made 1t impos- sible to anpounce subscriptions by states.
 At the same time, the hartman point ed out. the Sixth district is comprised largely of rural communities where work CTS out in the country are not in touch from day to day with their local head quarters, and where more time has been devoted to getting Liberty Loan money than to adding up subscriptions Tabuations late today showed the city of Atlanta approximately $500 900 short of its Sl4204.150 quota, but with the money expected at rally tonight and tomorrow morning. workers were confi- dent of an oversubscription.
