New-York tribune., 1918-05-07
that more than 10000 Of the subscrip-


tons were filed Saturday.
The Liberty Loan Committee has re-
quested the banks in their final reports
to make summaries Of the number Of
subscriptions, and Of the number of
persons who subscribed This is to
allow for duplication where one person
took more than one subscription. The
estimate Of 100000 relates to sub
scribers and not subscriptions.
The part the small communities of
the district played in the wide distrbu-
tion of the bonds was emphasized by
leaders OF the campaign. Acosta
Nichols, who was chairman of the Lib.
crty Loan Committee of Nassau Suf-
folk. Queens and Richmond counties,
said
"rhe chief effort of the large num-
Der of volunteer workers in each com
munity was to present the issues of
the war before every individual so
clearly, so intelligently and so pa
triotically that the bonds sold them
selves. Our committees proceeded
upon the theory that the important
work befo!e them was to emphasize the
gravity of the situation and then show
the people how they could, in a practi
cal way be Of assistance to their coun-
try. 1t was pointed out that every one
must share in the spirit of sacrifice
and must demonstrate that feeling in
some practical manner"
Charles S. Sargent, jr.. member of
the firm of Kiddcr, Peabody & Co., and
chairman of the Albany b-districts,
said:
The results obtained are in meas
ure due to the large amount of sub
script ions which have been received
from small communities. We have OBJ
tained excellent results by giving prac-
tically every town in the district. no
matter how small, some quota to work
for. Throughout the district the
women's committee and the organlza-
tions of farmers have been of the
greatest assistance"
In analyzing the achievements of the
twelve northern counties of New Jer-
sey, which are included in the Second
Federal Reserve District, Herman
Kinnicut, chairman of that subdivi-
sion, said:
"The New Jersey district as whole
in the second loan fell short CT its
quota by $17,978,00O. out of the
cecded their quotas, and out OF 1lO
banking towns 81 equalled their
quotas. In the present loan, while 1T
is yet too early to give final figures. it
is safe to say that the district as a
whole will exceed its quota by no less
than twenty-five millions, that every
county will exceed its quota and that
11O banking towns will get their full
quotas"
