 Federal Reserve Chairman National
 Woman's Liberty Loan Committee.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Before dawn today the fourth Liberty Loan campaign was on.
 So eager were some communities to make strides toward their subscrip- tion goals that they sent solicitors to work at the stroke of midnight.
 Scores of towns are trying to give all expected of them before nightfall, and to devote the remaining three weeks to doubling or trebling their quotas of the mighty war loan.
 A million and a half men, women and children are enrolled in an army of active campaigners to place bond in every home.
 The whole vast machinery got smoothly into motion. Like the grim mer campaigns across the sea, every detail had been planned long in ad- vance. Salesmen began gathering subscriptions by well-organized meth ods. Posters appeared in shop win dows and told the story of Liberty bonds on streets and from fence cor ners. President Wilson's autographed appeal was published in newspapers throughout the land. In motion pie ture theaters films planned by leading stars told graphically why Americans should buy bonds, and 25,000 volunteer speakers began to drive home the ap- peal More than a score of special trains filled with war relics fresh from Frances battlefields started their journey from town to town.
 Indications are that the American people now realize more than in any of the three previous loan campaigns the intimate relation between govern ment bonds and the fighting by Amer ican soldiers in France, and that those spared the hardships of army life must economize to buy bonds.
 After the opening enthusiasm of to- day, and day in churches tomorrow the country will settle down to the three weeks of a drive to gather from rich and poor the billions needed to crush Prussian autocracy.
 A reminder of the necessity came today in an official report that the government is spending near a half billion dollars a week-about S6O ,9OO,- GOO a day-for the war. At the same time it was borne home that other nations-America's partners - have done more per capita than this coun- try now is called on to do. The Brit ish people, half as numerous as Amer jeans. have loaned their government about s14.OOO,OOO,OO0 The French have raised nearly $7,000, 100000 from bonds. and the Russians nearly equal ed this record even before revolution and intrigue demoralized the country.
 By comparison, the United States already has sold nearly S1O,OOO,00O, 900 of Liberty Bonds, with population Of more than 100l000,O00.
 The purposes for which these stu pendous sums go, the huge quantities of guns and shells, airplanes and mo tor trucks, ships, food and other fight ing stuff which Liberty Loan dollars buy-these will be explained concrete ly in propaganda of the fourth loan Speakers, newspapers and solicitor will combine to advertise the war It. self along with the wars bonds.
 The systematic methods by which this policy is to be carried out is H. lustrated by organization plans In each of the twelve federal reserve dis tricts. in each state, county, township, city CT town, and even in nelghbor- hoods, factories, stores and profession al or trade groups.
 At the top of this organization stands the treasury, of course. The chief organizer in each federal re-
