The picture Of hundreds of thou
aads of American proving their faith
II their Republic is revealed in official
subscription figures Of the first six
days of the third Liberty Loan cam
mgn. Throughout the land the ap-
peal of America for fighting dollars
i, being heard. The sum of S58O,734,-
go has already been pledged, according
to the total announced yesterday in
Washington by the Treasury Depart
,ment.
New York and the rest of the Sec
ond Federal Reserve District has given
$2S8,072,450 of the national total, which
includes eleven of the twelve Reserve
distriets-all except Minneapolis. The
gain in this district over the aggre-
gate announced yesterday is $31,512,-
$50, which is less than the average for
the 6rst six days Of the drive. The
national increase over the figures of
tie previous day is $128, $50 ,450, which
ssessseds the average sum pledged in the
irst six days.
In the way Of filling the daily share
Of the entire quota for the four weeks
the Second Federal Reserve District is
still dong better than the rest of the
country considered as a whole. Fig
used on the basis of it's official mini
mum quota of $90O,O00,000, the New
York district would need only an ag-
gregate Of $216, 100000 for six days.
New York Has Exceeded Quota
She has gloriously exceeded this, but
has not been Transforming money into
bonds at rate rapid enough to sub
scribe the daily share Of the quota Of
1850 100000 which the district mas
allotted to itself. To attain this
AMOUNT, which is half Of the minimum
RATIONAL quota, the Second Federal Re
serve District should have already
pledged s360,0o0,00O.
Although the daily totals for the ma
'lon are increasing relatively as we'll
absolutely each day, the rest of the
an{ricts outside the Second Federal Re-
Mrve, considered as whole, are run
slng behind their quota requirements.

oeen raised.
As Liberty Loan workers view the
nsuation, the fact that the totals each
ay are an improvement over the previ-
9us day IS exceedingly encouraging. In
.ae second loan campaign the response
y Tue country at first was slight, in
eeeea, compared with the whirlwind
anish- The total for this campaign so

sssofdance with the desire of the Lib
