Expect Liberty Day
To Put Loan Total
Far Over 2 Billions

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Liberty
Day will be celebrated tomorrow by
the nation with patriotic demonstra-
tons in practically every city and town
to speed the sale of Liberty bonds.
Subscriptions by tomorrow night are
expected to be we'll above $4,000, ,000,-
600, or two-thirds of the minimum to-
tai.
In big cities special efforts will be
made to get banks and corporations to
turn in their pledges, held back here
tofore for q multitude of business rea-
sons, and local campaign committees
sent word tonight that the days sales
undoubtedly would break records for
the campaign.
In MANY states a legal holiday has
been declared and in others arrange
ments have been made for business
houses and factories to close for part
Of the day to allow citizens to partici-
pate in Liberty parades or to make
house-to- house canvasses for subscrip
tions.
In Washington government clearks
will be released from work to march
in a great procession down Pennsyl-
y,ana Avenue. Many high officials
have enrolled to march.
SUBSCRIPTION reports Jagged to-day,
adding only $10S,000,00O to previous re-
ports and making the total ST 1893 1885,

tanned to reach the 0OO,000,OO0.
The Kansas City district committee
believes that district has obtained its
quota, but there are no official corrob-
orative figures. New York, the low po-
sition of which has been a surprise of
the campaign, reported it had deter
mined to climb out of tenth place,
which it has held several days.
Having won the honor of being the
lirst district to attain it's quota, the
st. Louis division now is engaged in a
final effort to put Tennessee over the
top. All of the state is over except
the city of Memphis, and thirty teams
of ten men each to-day started a house
toulouse canvass for subscriptions
