NEXT LIBERTY JUAN
 MAY BE REDUCED
 TO S6,O00,000,CU0
Oversubscription of Three Previous Loans Is
 The Cause.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The foErtl
 bi-wcekly block of certificates of ln- debtedness announced tonight by the treasury ill an anticipation of the fourth Liberty loan, is for only $o,-
 0OO,000 instead of $750,00O,oOO plan ned originally as the amount of each
 issue.
 The reduction which was also made
 in the third block, was taken as 1n-
 dicating it may be unnecessary to
 float the $6,No0,000,00O certificates
 which the treasury had tentatively arranged to sell in connection with the financing program for the fourth liberty loan, and that consequently the amount of the loan may be less
 than $6,000,0 100000. The reason for the reduction of the
 size of the new issue is was said IS the fact that all three previous issues were oversubscribed and that re- ceipts from income and excess pro- | fits taxes were greater than advance estimates.
 A half billion is only the minimum of te issue, however. and banks are 1 urged to subscribe on the basis ot 2 l $750,O0O0O0 issue. The certificates l will be dated August 6, and are pay able Dec. ,. with interest of l-2 per 1 cent.
 Subscriptions will be received pS l federal reserve banks up to the close l of business August l.

are feeling The effects of war.
The American Red Star Animal Re
