ON LOAN
FROM LARGER BANKS


The apportionment Of the fourth lib
erty loan. expected" from the .hfth
federal reserve district, is $2so.oo0,-
600, distributed as follows:
Maryland. $s2,1so.ooo; District OF Co
lumbia, $27,608, 900; West Virginia.
sss. 900: Virginia, $s3.sso,ooo; North
Carolina, $4,000, 600. and South Caro-
lima, $s2.4S2,0o0.
The expectations from the various
fiscal institutions Of country. at least
Of the national banks, are based on
their resources at the close OF busi-
ness December 81, 1917, and the ratio
decided upon is Is per cent.
In expectations. the banks are per-
mitted to apply all subscriptions Sc
cured to the amount they are asked
to raise, SO that their own subscrfp-
tions are naturally much lighter than
might be expected.
The third liberty loan expectations
for the District were based on re-
sources Of s1s3.es4,o0o; this year on
resources of $1so.400, 900.
The apportionment last time was
$12. 2.870, 900 and the subscriptions $S5,-
992.250.
The same spirit and effort Will put
over the fourth loan big.
Taking the resources of the national
banks and trust companies OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, the expectation
from these institutions and the actual
loan will compare as indicated as
follows.

SUSPICIOUS OF BULGAR
MINISTERIAL CRISIS

The reported ministerial crisis in
Bu1garta is viewed with open suspicion
by officials of the government here.
If peace Is really sought by the Bull
Earian government it is surmised that
it will be a peace leaving the Bulgars
all the territory they now hold as a
result of the war. 1t is thought more
proba BILE, however. that Malinoff. the
premier. fears u revolution and has
engineered the ministerial crisis to
forestall this and pacify the trouble
some element. which according to re-
cent reports has been increasing in
numbers and in it's demands.
The fact that the allied armies are
steadily advancing on the Balkan
front. with the Bulgarian and German
forces in retreat, has greatly disturbed
the BulgarianS.
Todays news that the allies actually
have crossed the Bulgarian border
probably will cause greater agitation.
