Aids to Success Here
The success of the New York district
was facilitated by the work of its two
main canvassing committees-the Rain
bow Division, which covered the trades
and industries of the city, and the
Metropolitan Canvass Committee, which
solicited subscriptions in every other
part of the city. Craig Colgate, chief ex-
ecutive of the Rainbow Division, an
nounced last night that his organiza-
ton, according to uncompleted tabula-
tions, had already raised more than
$500,000,00O in the Victory Liberty
Loan, making more than $2,500,0OO,OO
for the last four campaigns in which it
participated. The Metropolitan Can
vass Committee, it was announced last
night, had sold SGT 1874, ,15O of Victory
notes up to Thursday night.
To the notices to the Treasury De-
partment that St. Louis, New York and
Minneapolis were far oversubscribed
were added assurances from Chicago
Boston, Cleveland and Philadelphia that
they were we'll over. The other dis
and all hope to be fully subscribed.
141 More Honor Flags
Honor flags were awarded yesterday
to 141 more communities in the Second
Federal Reserve district, bringing the

spirit of all the workers.
