FIFTH LOAN DELAYED.
Campaign May Not Start Until After
Close Of Lenten Season.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Because the
Lenten season this year does not end
until April 20 the treasury Is consider
ing postponing the opening Of the next
liberty loan campaign from April 6, as
tentatively planned, to April 81. A de-
cision has not been reached.
No attempt has been made az yet
by Secretary Glass or his advisers to
settle on the interest rate or other
terms Of the loan, it was stated Off
cially today. Whatever the terms may
be they will accord with the principle
of maintaining the market price Of pre-
cedins issues, officials declared.
This is one factor tending to induce
the treasury to keep the interest rate
on the fifth loan as low as possible.
since it is felt a rate as high as per
cent would work out as a depreciating
influence on preceding issues.
Bankers are urging the treasury to
make the interest rate on the next
loan AZ or per cent, but officials are
inclined to keep it lower IL possible.
They rely strongly on the patriotic i'm
pulses Of small bond buyers to "bring
the boys home" and Finish the job"
These phrases probably will be adopted
as campaign slogans.
