coastal points and battled their

| War Bond Sales
Total Billion
In January
By the Associated Press.

By the ABSoclateo ffess.
Defense bond sales reached q
record-breaking total Of $l.0O0, ,0Oo,-
600 this month, and some Treasury
oflcials predicted 1912 sales would
go to $1,000, 100000.
The January record approximately
doubled the $52s. .000, 900 sold in De-
cember, after the Pearl Harbor At
tack. Sales In the seven weeks
since Pearl Harbor total nearly as
much as the 81 800, ,000, 900 sold prev
iously from the time the bond cam
paign began last May l.
Omcials called the January sales
probably the greatest distribution
of small unit securities in history.
Although Liberty Bond subscriptions
In the World War were greater,
purchasers frequently bought them
on the instalment plan, financed
by local banks. Today's defense bond
sales are strictly on . cash basis.
January sales, however, probably
will not be equalled again this year,
since many Of this months sales
were to wealthier purchasers who
bought the limit for the whole year.
Tho January sales figures do not
include defense stamps.
