Report Quota Subscribed
on Opening Day.
ALASKA FIRST TO REPORT
Every Community la Territory Hm
Vade Good and Efforts Now Cen
tered on More Than Dou
p bling Allotment.
WASHINGTON. Sept. IS. Message!
from all parts of the United States
reached the Treasury Department to
day almost simultaneously with the
opening of the campaign for the fourth
liberty loan, telling of villages, towns
and cities which had within a few
hours subscribed their quotas of the
t.090.00.000 total.
The first report was from the Terri
tory of Alaska. A message reached the
Treasury soon after Secretary McAdoo
arrived at his desk savins' that th
Alaska Packers' Association, of Pan
Francisco, with a subscription of II,
370.000. had comoleted the entire loa
allotment for everv town, village and
fishina- camo in the territory. A tele
errant received from Juneau tonight,
however, said, "all communities are
ambitious to more than double their
allotments."
War ws Mira Activities.
Parades and other patriotic demon
vtrations marked the opening of the
campaign throughout the Nation. News
from the war fronts in Europe, particu
larly from the sectors where American
troops were driving forward, added to
th Impetus of the first day s campaign
While reports were received from
scores of communities reporting over
subscription of allotments on the Ini
tial day of the great campaign, it was
pointed out that the speedy and effect
ive organization in smaller places which
served to complete the allotted task
so quickly, had not brought in sums
which will bulk largely when compared
with the S6.OOO.OO0.OOO total.
The Treasury, in a statement tonight,
raid the selling stride would scarcely
be struck over the entire country be
fore next week.
Big Task Recogalsed.
"It will be impossible to predict be
fore that time whether the campaign
had started successfully." the state
ment said. "The most encouraging note
of all in today's reports is that all
communities realize that the country
has before it an enormous task in the
raising of S6.000.000.000. The consen
sus of opinion appears to be that over
confidence Is the greatest danger to be
guarded against until the loan actually
is subscribed.
Fort Dodge. Ia, was among commu
nitles first reporting in a message stat
ing its quota of J2.000.000 was raised
exactlr at midnight Friday.
St. Albans. Vt, reported at 10 A. M.

of
NEW TORK, Sept 28. The American
Alliance for Labon and Democracy ap
proved President Wilson's speech open
ing the liberty loan campaign in a state
ment tonight, declaring that-"under
such a banner as ours. Inscribed with
such principles, no real democrat and
no true follower of labor's cause ca
remain Inactive or continue in a posi
tion of opposition."
The alliance assented that the Presl
dent's restatement of the principles of
international justice must bring fresh
enthusiasm and vigor of conviction, to
every workingman and woman.
Service to Be Without Limit.
It predicted that the bounds to which
the working people will go in serv
ice and sacrifice to bring victory to
the great cause of humanity so pre
ciseiy defined by the President are
without limit.
"It grows clearer day by day," the
statement continued, "that the feeble
opposition to democracy's aims pro
claimed by those who, while professing
faith in democracy, have sought to un
dermine democracy's strength by con
tinuously misrepresenting the purposes
of our democracy, must grow still more
feeble and become finally impotent.
We can realize to the full the possi
bilities of the future only when the
world, by conduct in deeds and not alone
by the protestations of statesmen, ac
cepts the standards of democracy and
lives from day to day according to
them.

"There can be no compromise with
autocracy, no bandying of words with
autocrats, no negotiated peace nothing

ples in common concert."

Official appointment of the person
selected Friday by flavor Baker on the
United States homes registration com
mittee was made yesterday by Mark C,
Conn, representative of the United
States Department of Labor
In this committee s hands will rest
the responsibility of making an imme
diate survey of the available housing
resources of Portland, as the Govern
ment has recently adopted the policy
that all future recommendations as re
gards the letting of war contracts will
be determined largely from the infor
mation obtained by the making of this
survey.
The offer of J. C. Ainsworth, mem
ber of the committee, of the old Ains
worth bank building on Third and Oak
streets for the use of the Placement
Bureau which will be established as
soon as the survey has been made, has
been accepted.
Additional war contracts given to
Portland will depend solely on showing
that the city is able to care for more
war workers. It is therefore necessary
for every patriotic person and every
loyal Portland resident to offer such
resources in the way of rooms as they
may have at their command.
The details of the survey, which will
be made within a few days, will be out-
ined at a meeting to be held in Mayor
Baker's office tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock. Oregon City and Vancouver
