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."
