Although the workers were elated
by the avalanche of subscriptions
that followed the Secretary of Wars
message from the fighting front, they
realize to the full that neither the
city nor the State has completed the
amount expected of it. Implications
are believed to be in the subscrip-
tions, because many personal sub
scribers expect to make their sub
scriptions through the banks which
announced pledges that include these
personal subscriptions.
Tabulations of the figures called
out at the big meeting Monday dis
closed that 100000 had been
subscribed by the $50 business men
and bank representatives who heard
the War Secretary's message. This
sum at first glimpse gives Baltimore
it's quota Of $2S,34S,000.
There isn't any doubt that some
of these subscriptions have been du-
plicated, said one member of the
committee. 1--WE realize this, and it
is up to the people of Baltimore to
come forward with their money and
swing the Queen City of the South
over the honor line"
When the headquarters threw op-
en- it's doors many were on hand to
add their dollars for the cause of hu-
manity and democracy. The early
morning subscriptions were in small
denominations, much to the liking
of the committeeman.
They are the patriots whom I'm
Gle Sam wants." said one. 1T is the
man with the small amount. If they
eral days more Baltimore will forge
ahead"
Announcement that the business
of I, al hol in
to their pockets, bringing forth a
golden flow that swelled almost to
100000 at the one sitting, swept
through the country today. 1t made
Baltimore the cynosure of the ma
tion's eyes. This sum is said to be
the largest ever subscribed to any
Liberty Loan at a single meeting, not
even excepting New York and Chi
cago.
Liberty Loan subscriptions aggre-
eating $3,671,350 have been obtain
ed thus far by the women of Balti-
more and Maryland, it was reported
today by the committee This is the
first announcement of the results
achieved by the women's activities
under the direction of the Women's
Liberty Loan Committee of Mary
land.
Baltimore women under the lead
ership of Mrs c. Baker Clotworth,
have garnered $1,321,1OO so far,and
the county women, headed by Mrs.
Sydney M. Cone, have come forward
with pledges amounting to $780,
ESQ. These good-sized amounts are
not the end of the women's resour-
ces, and another big bath of Liberty
pledges is expected before the drive
ends.
Reports of the house-to-house can
vass made by the city women showed
net result of $36,750. The drive
was made by wards, and the F'if-
teenth ward headed the list with
$4,000.
Another evidence of the unstinted
devotion of Uncle Sans soldiers to
the cause was given today in the ac-
ton of Lieut.. p. o. Wilson at Fort
McHenry. Lieut.. Wilson, whose
home town is Syracuse, N. Y, sold
his automobile, and with the pro-
ceeds bought Liberty Bonds. His
purchase was made through one of
the Baltimore Bargain House teams,
each of which is striving hard to
raise their total to the $1,000, 900
mark.
At noon today the arrow on the
thermometer in the Bargain House
lobby indicated that the teams are
just below the $7S0,000 mark. The
colored employees of the Bargain
House also are participating in the
campaign. They obtained $4,000 in
bond subscriptions last night.
Chesapeake City, in Cecil county,
! made a notable record last night in
the Liberty Bond campaign when it
sent subscriptions to the amount OF
, $400 greater than double the appor-
tionment for it's district. Following
meeting at which J. w. Hopper,
| president of the National Bank of
Chesapeake City, presided, $42,S0U
| was pledged, making a total sub
scription of $64,700 for that district.
OF the 1888 employees at Bart
lett-Hayward munitions plant, 95
| per cent. had subscribed up to 1914
$50 of Liberty Bonds up to last
night.
In the interest of Liberty Loan sub
scriptions a parade will be held to-
night at Irvington. The point of for
nation will be at Carroll Station
and the line of march will be out
