MARK WILL
BE REACHED TODAY
IN DRIVE IN SALEM
Auditors Unable to Give
Amount But Feel 100000
Is Assured

With the SlUU, IUO raised yesteIuaJ
in the campaign for subscriptions to
the third liberty loan, and the hard
work being done today by the 81 cap
tains and their teams, it is estimated
that the total figures may run up close
to the $1,000 mark before the close
of the days work.
Exact figures were not to be OBJ
tanned as the auditors had not com
pleted their totals of the amounts
turned in today noon at the First
Methodist church, but there was a gen
eral feeling that the 100000 would
be reached if the afternoons work
compared to what had been done this
morning.
The banks are receiving a big share
Of the subscriptions as yesterday of the
total raised, $4,000 was placed thru
the banks and $47 100 through the So
l~icitors.
At the noon hour luncheon held at
the First Methodist church where
workers urn in their money and sub
scriptions, talks were made by Ser
geant Major Christy and Private
Burke. These Canadians will speak
again this evening at s O'Clock at the
armory.
Canadians Spoke
Major Christy is one of the "a who
were left from a famous charge made
by $50 Canadians and it is of this ex-
p%erience and how he happened to re-
ceive his eight wounds he will tell to-
night. He said the doctors were becom-
inc SO skilled that they can patch up
a man no matter how badly hurt, and
referred to himself as having one eye
out, a cracked skull and several ribs IN
pretty bad condition. .4
Private Burke who was gassed and
later captured, passing Is months IN
a German prison, said that in all ms
experience, the only decent German ne
had ever known was a man who hved
in New York, but who happened to DO
in Germany when the wal began and
was forced to serve. He will tell Oh
his prison experience in his talk to-
night. .
Shy About Talking
Among the 800 or more men giving
their time in selling third liberty
bonds. there is a general opinion tina;
while of course Salem will subscribe
for its quota, yet there is much hard
work ahead. So far, it has been the
buying of bonds by the small purchaser
that has been the most encouraging
feature. No especially large amounts
have been subscribed. Taking every
thing into consideration with the two
days. work as a sample, the opinion IS
expressed that conditions are fairly
good, but that the workers will be
obliged to put in full time to secure
Salem 3 quota of $517,550. Following
the suggestion of Secretary McAdoo
about becoming too optimistic and CIV
inc out figures too freely, there has
been a disposition on the part Of those
tabulating figures to withhold them
from the public.
