New and picturesque features galore,
and canvasslng and speaking pro-
gramme even more thorough and far
reaching than that which made the
Fourth Liberty Loan so successful, are
planned for New York during the Vic
tory Loan Campaign. While the actual
opening Of the Loan drive will not take
place until Monday next. plans are ready
practically complete for a whirlwind
OF exhortation by agents animate and
inanimate which will keep the loan fore
most in the mind of every person in the
city until the subscription books are
finally closed
while the general plan for the selling
campaign will not differ greatly from
that employed with success in previous
loans there will be some notifications
The most important change will be in
authorizing canvassers to accept pay
ments in full for the new issue instead
OF initial payments only.

The following official statement Of the
details or the new plan was given at
loan headquarters yesterday:
Many people do not realize that they
may save considerable time by making
their payments directly to an authorized
canvasser. This organization Will put
into operation at the opening OF this
campaign a plan by which subscribers
to Victory notes may make their pay
ments directly to authorized canvassers
| at the time Of signing subscription
cards. Identification cards carried by
these canvassers authorize them to re-
ceive money on subscriptions and to de-
| liver official receipts therefor.
Every person making payment 20
| a canvasser should insist upon seeing
his or her Identification card in order
| to establish the right of such represen-
tative to collect the money. The sub
scrlber should take care to obtain the
official receipt"

take place at Borough Hall in Brooklyn

visitors entered the gallery. A mighty
| cheer went up from the brokers. and
| the stocky little Veterans OF the war in
Flanders lined the rail and grinned their
delight while a contingent OF the Royal

Belgian air La Marche sur la From

Along the streets through which the
visitors passed in buses to and from the
| War Camp Community Hotel, 35 West
