 The Fifth District.
 Under the generalship of Henry $. Osborne, this district is proceeding in the most gratifying manner. In highly residential district such as this many well known men and women are enlisted. No definite reports have been received as yet, but one worker, MT. w. M. Blight, reports that on the north side of Hazelwood Avenue, where he is working, practically all the residents of every house had res bonded, and he anticipated there was good chance of 1l0 per cent. from this street The list of captains un- der General Osborne is as follows: Messrs Robert A. Beers, Albert Grin rod, John P. Phelps, H. B. VanGis- sen, Frank D. Bell, T. M. Adams, Louis Kutscher, Jr., John R. Weed, John Wikman, Burroughs Perry, w. J. Baird, c. E. Winton, A. M. Baker, Geo. E. Crawford, W. Leroy Ketchum, F. E. Ballard, John Ki1lian, Mauritz P. Olsen, John Wynkoop, M. J. Elan agan, Fred B. Derrick, Geo. zumstag, | c. W. Kuhne and the Mesdames A. B. Mcdonald, Orvi11e Rector and B. w. Downs.
 As to the Amounts Subscribed. MT Isaac Moss, who is general of the Fourth District, has perhaps ad- vanced further in his canvassing than anyone else, and at meeting Monday night he had his preliminary records all in. He has now arranged to re- l was not satisfactory and to make a second call upon those who either re- fused to subscribe or did not report satisfactorily. He reports pledges in very substantial amounts but at pres ent we have not been able to give figures.
 Many of the canvassers report that while the great majority of people so- licited give a ready response, never theless, many of them pour out long details of what they have already done in the past and put most telling ar I guments as to why somebody else
 should do the buying. One of the favorite arguments of people who are perfectly we'll suited to buy generous ly of the War Savings Stamps is that
 they have bought Liberty Bonds in large numbers. The answer to this in the opinion of the War Savings Com
 mittee is that we have got to make
 this movement supported by all class
 es. Nothing will damn it quicker than to say it is for the poor only.
 In fact, it was the humble circum-
 stanced who put the last Liberty Loan
 over. We had 65,000 subscribers in
 Bridgeport, making an average sub
 scription of but little over $100. Had
 it not been for the small subscriber, the Liberty Loan never would have
 gone over. In this case, then, the
 big fellow cannot consistently take
 the ground that this is for the little
 fellow, because if the little fellow had
 said the same thing about the Liberty Loan 1t would not have succeeded al all. In fact, every branch of our na- tiona1 financing must be shared in by F all classes of society.
