Motor Sixes 18 i up ' m ' rrffp SPURT IS EXPECTED SOON Workers Count on Big Showing on AVednesday of Xext "Week. Belief Is Goal Will Be Attained. Washington; Oct. 20. The liberty loan campaign today progressed, to the threshold of official expectation and paused. Treasury heads had hoped the $2,000,000,000 line would be crossed. Ap parently the bip; movement stopped Just short of the mark, with an estimated total of $1,973,000,000. The result means that $500,000,000 a day must be subscribed each day of the remaining week of the campaign if the $5,000,000,000 goal is reached when subscription books close next Saturday night. Official returns from the 12 reserve banks representing subscriptions upon which the 2 per cent of the sum applied for actually has been paid into the re serve banks increased during the day to within less than $1,000,000 of $1, 200,000,000. As announced by the Treas ury tonight, the official returns, the estimated subscriptions and the quotas of the reserve districts were as follows: District Boston New York Philadelphia .. Cleveland Richmond Atlanta. Chicago St. Ixtuis iMinneapolis . . . Kansas City . . . Dallas San Francisco . Totals The $5,000,000,000 total can be at tained next week, officials asserted, if there be no let-up in the campaign and if districts in the Middle West, the Southwest and the West are aroused from an apparent apathy which thus far has caused great concern. Liberty day, it is thought, will be the banner day of the campaign. A total subscription of $1,000,000,000 on this day, next Wednesday, is the goal which hundreds of thousands of work ers are striving to reach. It is also thought likely that the final week of the campaign will show, in its entirety, a response on the part of the Nation greater than during the wrole prior three weeks. There will have to be such a re sponse, it is stated, if the full $5,000, 000,000 is taken. Too Much Optimism Reported. Summarizing the developments of the day and week, the Treasury Depart ment issued a statement tonight which said in part: "The week has been much more suc cessful than were the first two of the campaign, but none of the workers is over-optimistic. Chicago sent a message tonight warning against too much optimism, saying it was apparently having an ill effect in the Middle West New England wired in a like vein. "San Francisco reported that the sinking of the transport Antilles by a German submarine had a good effect on sales. The total for today ran over $4,500,000, much more than has been sold on previous ordinary days. "Boy Scouts and aviators aided today in giving impetus to the sale. Three hundred thousand scouts took the field and aviators and balloonists from every aerial camp flew over hundreds of cities, dropping paper bombs con taining liberty loan literature. A message from President Wilson, ad dressed to the Mayor of each city passed over, was among the paper bombs dropped." ------ r'- -: ? -" j' - J nSL w i i art l.r.oo.oou.ooo ' jtPS . , 1 )LJ 4i.-.ooo.ooo F-?iwpmtfmi)i- A. 4 joo.ooo.ooo f 4 i ' ' , fK, V & ' i"?1 . f 700.000.000 s K irJ " " ' v; ' I 200.000.000 i fsv, Jit JW' " Z , r5 lEo-Toro'oo r-'v' 4 r4ff-.
