have already been sent the ocean, many thousands Of
others in training in this country and the national mil
itary program calls for army Of 100000 men OF
Enough than 100000 men Will be under arms
this year to make It imperative now that more than the
budget originally designed be raised Otherwise the
organizations viii be out Of money in few months and
have to inaugurate another drive.
Therefore the heads of the organizations in conference
decided that oversubspton of at least 50 per-
necessary, there being time TO prepare
lged budget IN regular form This makes an enlargement
Of local quotas necessary everywhere FL Pasos revised

the Liberty loan quotas but which, nevertheless calls
for very liberal giving by large number Of people It
desirable have the fund completely repre-
sentative by securing contributions from everyone and the
largest that he and she give If, in contribu
ting, E Paso should the quota much the
better The country may double the original budget and
still the organizations will not have too much money They

troops in training The secretary of and president
