THE LIBERTY LOAN3
The United States entered the war
on April 6, 1917. Eighteen days la
ter by a practically unanimous vote
congress passed the Liberty loan
bond bill.
On May 2 the first Liberty loan
was announced, on May 14 the de
tails were made public, and on -the
15th the campaign began and closed
one month later. The Issue was for
$2,000,000,000, the bonds bearing
3H per cent interest and running
for 15-30 years. The bonds carried
the conversion privilege, entitling
the holder, If he chose, to convert
them Into bonds of a later Issue
' bearing a higher rate of Interest.
Four and a half million subscrroers
from every section ot the country,
representing every condition, race,
and class of citizens, subscribed for
more than $3,000,000,000 of the
bonds. Only $2,000,000,000 was al
lotted.
The outsandlng features of the
first Liberty loan were the prompt
ness with which It was arranged and
conducted, the patriotism of the
newspapers, banks, corporations, or
ganizations, and people generally In
working for Its success, and the
heavy oversubscription of more than
60 per cent. Another notable fea
ture was that there was no interrup
tion to the business of the country
occasioned by the unprecedented de
mand npon Its money resources.
The second Liberty loan campaign
opened on October 1, 1917, and
closed on October 27. THe bonds of
this issue bear 4 per cent Interest and
run for 10-25 years. They carry the
conversion privilege. It was announc
ed that 50 per cent of the oversub
scription would be taken. Nine mil
lion subscribers subscribed to $4,-
617,532,000 of the bonds, an over
subscription of 54 per cent. Only $3,
' 808,766,150 of the bonds was allot
ted. -
This campaign was marked with
the same enthusiastic support ot the
public as its predecessor. The labor
and fraternal organizations ere es-
peclally active In this campaign, and
- the women of the country did effi-
cient organized work which greatly
' contributed to the success of the
loan. The men In the army and navy
worked for and subscribed largely
to the loan.
The third Liberty loan campaign
opened on April 6, 191 J, one year
exactly after our entrance Into the
Far, and closed on May 4. The

Dear Folks:
I am working harder now than 1
have at any time since I have been
In the army. Am In charge of a bar
rack containing about 80 foreign
ers, (civilian laborers). I have to get
up at 5:30 in the morning to help
rout these men from bed. As soon
as breakfast is over, these men are
lined up and sent outside to their re
spective Jobs before 7 o'clock. The
same thing must be done after din
ner time. Last Sunday we spent
nearly all the afternoon seeing that
these men had their baths. At other
times there are payrolls to sign and
then again the men to be paid, all
of which must be done after working
hours. We are called upon to settle
disputes and fights among tne men
