LOAN QUESTION
LEFT 70 CITIES
Treasury Withdraws from
Fight on Sunday Bond
Campaigns.

The Treasury Department has
pulled itself out of the fight over
observance of Sunday in the demon
strations in the Victory Loan
campaign. Any controversy over
whether the flying circuses should
De permitted. whether motion pic
lures promoting bond sales should
be shown or whether war exhibits
trains should be kept open will be
left entirely to the local loan COM
mittees concerned. it was declared
yesterday.
But great long distance fight has
been raging regardless of the stand
taken by war loan organization off,
cials. Secretary Glass Office has
received a veritable deluge of tele-
grams, some protesting against any
kind of demonstrations on Sundays
during the campaign, but more de-
manding that no cancellations of
flights. exhibits or parades be made.
SO the Treasury withdrew.
In the far western districts, minis
ters' considerations have succeeded in
creating a maelstrom. At Butte. Mont,
the ministerial objection to q Sunday
exhibition of the French, British and
American aces brought very en-
phatic move from the union labor
contingent. Leaders of miners unions
announced that IL the flying circus
was not permitted to stage its show
there on Sunday-that being the only
available date-they would refuse to
subscribe to the loan.
Meanwhile in hundreds of cities, To-
cal loan committees are ready for the
campaign opening. In St Louis, the
big event Of the campaign will be held
tomorrow when 1t is expected that
100000 persons will gather at an-open
air mass meeting. Reports from To-
ledo. o.. today forecast a subscription

house canvass Monday.
