Unofficial and incomplete returns from eight of the 12 reserve banks, added to official figures from three of the other four banks, which are known to be less than actual subscriptions, show a grand total of approximately $705,000,000. The $800,000,000 estimate, which is thought to be liberal, it was aid, included probably sales in the Minneapolis district, from which no re port has been received, and increase in the other districts for which no fresh figures are available. Reports up to the close of business Saturday night, according to the de partment's statement, follow: "New York. $309,000,000; Philadelphia, $80,000,000; Boston, $73,000,000; Cleve land, $72,000,000; Chicago, $60,000,000; Kansas City, $50,000,000; San Fran cisco, $31,000,000; Richmond. $21,827. 000: Atlanta. $9,000,000: St. Louis, $3,786,000; Dallas. $3,175,000. "A flood of small subscriptions," the statement continues, "in the Boston, t'leveland and Chicago districts greatly increased their totals. "Thirty-one thousand persons have bought bonds in Chicago, bringing the total for the city up to $13,742,350. Ap proximately $50,000,000 has been sub scribed in the Kansas City district, and the campaign is just getting under way. Omaha has subscribed $9,000,000; Tulsa, Si.OOO.OOO and Topeka $500,000. "Oklahoma City started its campaign today with 500 men and 200 women salesmen. Wyoming's campaign is showing good results. Sixty thousand workers took the field in the Minne apolis district. Sales were slow in San Francisco, compared with the remark able spurt made by the city last week." Oficial figures of the sum actually paid on subscriptions reported to the reserve banks were unobtainable. Meantime the campaign has only ten more working days to go. and approx imately $4,200,000,000 must be raised if the $5,000,000,000 goal is reached. This means a total of $420,000,000 a day.

When Secretary of War Baker visited the camp, the Oregon band was fhosen to escort the Cabinet member and his party BUSINESS SAFETY OR CHAOS What stands today be tween business and utter confusion ? The Government of the United States. By its policy in stabiliz ing: prices, the Government is acting; as the balance wheel of business, permit ting' the purchase of both raw and finished material at reasonable rates, and distributing the colossal de mands caused by the war in such a way as to work a minimum of hardship and at the same time to con serve fair profits for all. The Government of the United States is today the greatest factor in American business prosperity and likewise is in itself the greatest business in the Nation, operating for the good and the safety of all. From motives of good business policy as well as of patriotism, the Government therefore deserves the fi nancial support of all busi ness men, through purchase of the United States Gov ernment Bonds of the Sec ond Liberty Loan. Money invested in these bonds is money invested to ensure the success, the permanency, and the safety of American business. To test the all-inclusive truth of this statement, ask your self the question, "Where will America and American business be if Germany should win ?" Only in victory is there security. To ensure victory, the Second Liberty Loan must be promptly and fully sub scribed. Do your part. Go to your bank and sub scribe for your share of these bonds. They bear 4 interest. They are free of the normal Federal income tax and all local property taxes. They are quickly marketable and are the best of collateral. Subscribe at Once and buy all you can.

COUNTY BANKS NOTIFIED Alternative of Drastic Taxation Is Pointed To in Case Those Who Stay at Home Fall to Back Those Who Give Themselves. William A. MacRae. chairman of the liberty loan state central committee of Oregon, following the receipt of a tele gram from James K. Lynch, chairman of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District liberty loan campaign, yesterday sent telegrams to every bank and trust com pany in Oregon urging upon them the necessity of redoubling their efforts and spurring prospective subscribers to act. Mr. MacRae pointed out the danger of drastic taxation should the second liberty loan fail of a ready market. The telegram from Mr. Lynch fol lows: While our general executive board be lieves every liberty loan committee in the 12th district Is actively and enthusiastically at work, daily reports received by Federal reserve bank here do not evidence satis factory aggregate of subscriptions actually received at this stage of campaign, which Is now half over. This fact Indicates hes itancy or undue proscrastlnation on part of Intending subscribers. Please use your ut most efforts with all committees and banks within your territory or Jurisdiction to in duce prospective subscribers to sign and file their applications for bonds without further delay. Would greatly appreciate your immediate compliance with this re quest. Besides sending the message from Mr. Lynch, Mr. MacRae appended the following: May I urge you to redouble your efforts to the end that, so far as you are able, our community does its full duty to our country at this crisis by subscribing as liberally as It can to the second liberty loan ? We are so far removed from the dread reality of the butchery In Europe that It Is difficult for us to realize It in all of its unspeakable horror, but unless we rise to the occasion and give our money when we cannot give ourselves we fall short of our duty. French. - British and Italians have given to their respective governments their boys of military age. have subscribed to loans as Urge as we are asked to do and have. In addition, given their holdings of foreign stocks and bonds in order to furnish se curity for loans obtained from us. Do not let the historian say of us: "We saved our purse and lost -our soul." Come to the rescue of your country by purchasing liberty losn bonds. The cam paign closes October -7. Remember, unless the bonds are subscribed for. the alterna tive Is taxation. "Our Government is now paying for war outlays In part by the taxing power and partly by the issue of bond unless the latter find a market, the imposition of drastic taxation is inevitable.
