R A. Porter: Announcement that there would be no fifth Liberty Loan was due to misunderstanding of recommen- dations of congressional committee hav- ing in charge bill authorizing the loan. It is absolutely essential that the bonds be taken by the people as heretofore. Were the banks required to take the bonds it would limit their ability to make loans to farmers, merchants and manu- lecturers in usual line of business and thus interfere with the important work of restoring normal conditions in busi- ness. w. c. WARDLAW,
 Executive Chairman Liberty Loan Com
 mittee, Sixth Federal Reserve District. '
 The work of organizing the Birmng- ham zone and the Jefferson county com mittees is being perfected by Zone Chair man Porter and County Chairman Ar thur c. Crowder.
 Whether the securities will be bonds or notes, and the denominations, have not yet been definitely announced. but it is generally believed that whichever the treasury department decides upon the denominations will range as low as $50, in order that the greatest possible number of people may be purchasers.
