money market and the higher rate of

sites of 4 third Liberty Loan are
close at hand. The democratizing
influence Of the Liberty bond mus:
still further cement together the
sentiment and the population Of the
country. Even assuming that the
100000 who bought bonds of the
second Liberty Loan were not al
ready numbered among the 4,000,-
600 purchasers Of the first Liberty
bonds, the total is only 13,4o0,000
when it is compared to the upward
of 100,000,000 population in the
United States.
And while the two loans aggre-
gate $5,808,766,150, that is only

10 the treason that would
whisper that America has
been Prussianzed to win this war;
the old mistaken notion that in
America class was opposed to mass.
The figures are a definite, arith-
netlcal proof that the Liberty loans
are one of the greatest forces for
democracy yet devised. For on the
authority Of Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo the statement is made
in an official document, Mr.. Nc
Adoo's own report-that prior to
the issuance of the Liberty loans
only 350,000 persons owned bonds
in the United States.
In the days before the war and
before the Liberty loans possession
of bono. implied certain distinc-
ton. And the distinction was none
the less real because it existed in
minds which professed to be above
such purely material attributes.
But with the coming of a war on
a scale such as the world had onlv
dreamed of vaguely, with financial
and maintenance problems quite as
gigantic, it soon became manifest
that not only the destiny of America,
but of the civilized portion of the
world, depended upon a huge mobi-
hzation of Americas resources. A
Liberty loan became prime neces
sity.
First Loan
Seemed Impossible
When Congress, on April "a,
1917, authorized the issuance of
$5,000,000,00O and subsequently,
the Secretary of the Treasury de-
cided under the powers conferred
by the act to ask for $2,00O,O00,O00
of this amount-the first Liberty
Loan--this task seemed all but i'm
possible. In those days there ap-
peared to be no real appreciation
in the mi lnds of the people at large
of the meaning of Americas en-
trance into the war; for the first
Liberty Loan was made possible by
Congress only eighteen days after
the United States determined to
enter the war as an active bcllig-
erent.
Immediately the most farreach-
ing publicity campaign the world
had known up to that time was set
under way. Men and organizations,
actuated by a fine spirit of patriot
Ism, freely gave of their services,
New-York tribune., 1918-04-08

Somewhat easier conditions have
prevailed in the money market dur
ing the last week. For one thing,
the banks had prepared for a larger
government loan, and the announce
Taent that the issue would be for
$4,000, 900, 900, when the preliminary
estimates ranged from $4,000, ,O0O,-
900 to s8,ooo,o00,00o, found the
large financial institutions in such
strong position that they have been
able since TO offer larger accommo-
cations tn borrowers. This has been
explained in part by the more liberal
offerings Of time funds, the supply
Of which has been extremely limited
since the beginning Of the year. At
the same time call money rates de-
clined sharply, and much Of the buyi-
ress done in demand loans on the
Stock Exchange last week was on a
basis Of per cent, compared with 6
the week before. 1t will be some
weeks before the effects Of the cur
rent Liberty Loan campaign will be
directly felt in the money market.
Ey the terms Of the loan 8 per cont

OF the larger issue actually showed
gain Of 2 per cent, there being
an oversubscription of approx
nately Sd per cent In other words,
the oversubscription to the S3,0OO,-
100000 issue was $1,617,532,3OO.
Taking advantage of the right
provided by law to allot one-half of
the oversubscription, the Treasury
Department made the total issue of
the second Liberty loan $685.
766,150.
The number Of subscribers more
than doubled, there being 9,400,OOO
in comparison with the 100000 Of
the first Liberty bond issue.
AS in the first Liberty Loan cam
paign, every district of the country
exceeded its quota
The first 80 per cent of subscrib-
ers i'll the first loan had bought in
amounts from $50 to $4,000, but
the first 80 per cent of the second
loan had decided that they could do
better, with the result that the
amounts of their subscriptions
ranged from $50 to 100000.
All Trades
Participated
Every circle of industrial and
civic life was affected from the bot
tom to the top, or from the top
downward, by the new democratic
ing influence. Employers subscribed
during the two Liberty loans and
helped their employees to do the
same. How widespread was this in
f'uence that levelled an old and
foolish distinction may be seen in
the following table, which presents
the subscriptions of some of the
trades in New York City alone to
the second Liberty Loan:
New-York tribune., 1918-04-08

The two Liberty loans also made
i: manifest that there never will be
IN this country, as in the Hun terri
tory, military caste. Military and
naval men of the United States
forces were not content with giving
themselves and their lives, but thew
also shared the bond buying duty
with civilians. Thus they, too, be-
came subject to it's democratizjng
influences.
The American army subscribed to
more than s89,ooo,0O0 bonds of the
second issue. The leadership of the
thirty-one National Army canton.
mcnts was taken by Camp Sherman,
at Chillicothe, Ohio, which SUBJ
scribed to $4,000, 500, while $10,-
202,15O was subscribed to the Sec
ond Liberty Loan by the navy and
navy establishment, including the
marines.

holders in the United States has
been so hugely increased, the neces-

the advertising space they common
~ occupied for their own private
interests in newspapers, magazines
and on billboards: the twelve Fed
eral Reserve banks became each a
great centre Of publicity, organizing
Liberty Loan committees in every
city OF each district; while every
civic and social and political organi-
zation actively worked in the dis
trlbution Of the products of those in
charge of the general publicity.
The result was that the facts Of
the necessity Of the Liberty Loan,
its advantages to the patriot and
citizen as such and as an investor.
and every detail connected with the
Liberty bond BECAME household
knowledge.
Reaping Product
OF Wide Publicity
Once the publicity task was ac-
complished, that of craftsmanship be-
gan. The salesmen, whether thew
were eminent financiers or Bow
Scouts, found the ground fully pre-
pared. Their assertion of selling
argument found an echo in the will
OF the purchasers, and the entire
issue of $4,000, 100000 was over
subscribed by S1,035, 226, $50, or
very nearly So per cent. More than
100000 men and women, or 90
per cent of the total number of
subscribers, subscribed for amounts
ranging from $50 to $4,000. Only
twenty-one subscriptions were re-
ceived for $5,000,Oo0 or over each.
So the first Liberty Loan was in
every sense Of the word popular
loan, a great outpouring of the
spirit of patriotism, and at the same
time fine demonstration of desire
TO serve the civilized world as a
whole.
The whole influence of the war
upon America is to remind men that
after all they are brothers. This
levelling of a purely superficial dis
t'nction between those who former
ly held bonds, in the days of COM
paratively small things, and their
fellows was a distinctive accom-.
pllshment of the first Liberty Loan.
When the necessities of America
ana her allies made imperative the
issuance of the second Liberty Loan
those in charge decided that no pub
llclty effort should be wasted. The
oversubscription to the first loan
rad been so marked that it was felt
that greater advantage should be
taken Of the publicity effort.
Hence, when Congress author
lied, on September "a, 1917, fur
ther issue of more than $780,
100000, and the Treasury Depart-
ment decided to call for a Liberty
Loan Of $3,000,0o0,000, under this
act, the Treasury reserved the right
to allot bonds to the amount of one
half the oversubscription.
The Second
Campaign
Then came the intensive pub
hcity campaign, followed by the
selling drive. The publicity effort.
however, became even more scien-
tlfc than it had been before, with
