City's Big Rally
for Liberty Loan
CintlnoC'l lc,m Pace One
counters got under way the publicity bureau
of the committee Issued a' statement In an
effort to explain Philadelphia's status In the
nation-wide $2,000,000,000 Liberty Bond
campaign '
For more than three wcek3 the committee
baa held that Philadelphia's allotment hnd
teen boosted from $176,000,000 to $'.'50.
(00,000 owing to tho failure of certain
louthern districts to meet their allotments.
On Sunday tho committee Issued a state
ment In which the assertion was made that
Philadelphia required $100,000,000 to com
plete Its allotment.
As all estimates were based upon the
maximum allotment of $2!0,000,000, the
campaign workers Inferred that the .sub
scriptions recorded amounted to more than
(150,000,000.
The publicity bureau Issued the foflovv
lnc statement today which throws consld
arable light on the campaign:
There ha3 been seme question about
the amount to bo raised In Philadelphia.
Tho publicity commltwe states because
of conditions In Dallas and Atlanta It
was requested to raise Its maximum al
lotment from $175,000,000 to $250,000,000.
It Is still hoped that the latter figure may
be reached New York, however, Is out
stripping Philadelphia so far In striving
to make up the shortage on other scores
that If Philadelphia comes to $173,000,
000 It will nqt fall short. Tho minimum
amount required of this district is $110.
000.000, and so far ns official reports go
on Monday tho district was still $61,000,
COO short of this.
Many of the large subscriptions, Includ
ing one of $15,000,000, have not yet been
received through tho banks'. One of the
largest will be Included In today's bank
reports.
The public has been led to believe that
JJDBcrlptlons have reached a total of more
than $150,000,000 because of duplications.
As an example, the Heading Railway and
Its subsidiary companies were credited with
a $J,000,000. subscription. This subscrip
tion was turned over to a national bank,
and when that bank reported, the Reading
Hallway's subscription was counted a sec
end time
-Tv9, fhIIaIe'Phla Savings Fund sub
crlbed for $2,500,000, and this was turned
over to a national bank, but like tho Read-
Hi subscription, waa counted twice.
$250,000,000 STILL GOAL
Later In the day Governor Rhoada Is
f"d a supplementary statement in which
ja. pointed qut that despite tho official
npires concerning "the c'ty'3 allotment the
campaign committee must contlnuo to re
tard $250,000,000 as Its goal. Governor
1 Khoads, explaining how Philadelphia must
raise more than Its share In order to make
P for losses In other districts, said :
There have been no official allotments
ror the Federal Reserve districts. It must
o clear that if each Federal Reserve dis
trict aubscrlbed the same percentage of
the $2,000,000,000 that Its banking re
sources bear to the total banking ro
Murces of the United States, the loan
would be just subscribed. For example,
n the case of the Philadelphia Reserve
If. ' tne totn' banking resources con
atltute approximately 7 per cent of the
wal banking resources of the United
states, so that if the subscriptions to the
woerty Loan nmounted to $140,000,000 In
tne Third Federal Reserve District, and
ik ot tne other eIcve districts sub
eribed Its exact' proportion, the loan
would be taken up to the last cent, but no
more. This, of course, Is manifestly Im
possible. Unless those districts contaln
jjjS the largest centers of population and
wealth, In which are located the head
carters of the largest corporations of the
untry, subscribe more than their actual
Percentage. It must be clear to all that
we loan will not be fully subscribed. ,
Thus, for Instance, In the case of the
Mcond Federal Reserve District. Includ
jr Ivew York, the percentage of bank
. jnr resources would require a subscrlp
. ?f onIy '650,000,000. New York,

WEST TRIES TO SPEED
UP LIBERTY BOND SALE
CHICAGO. June 12.
The West was struggling today to throw
eft the lethargy which has characterized Its
attitude toward the $2,000,000,000 Liberty
Loan.
In some of the western Federal reservo
districts this struggle was succeeding, whllo
In others It was frankly admitted that
after the first spurt at the opening of
"Liberty Loan week" the people had fallen
back Into apathy.
Chicago had mapped out a mllllon-dollars-an-hour
campaign and was maintaining
that pace, which if continued, will result In
this district having subscribed its minimum
allotment of $260,000,000 when the time
limit expires Friday noon. Tho district to
day had taken slightly more than CO per
cent of its allotment.
The Kansas City district reported a
noticeable apathy on the part of Its citi
zens, with its apportionment more than
150 000.000 short. Various organizations,
however, were vigorously pushing the cam
paign. St 'Paul and Minneapolis were over
subscribed, but the St Paul district was
still below Its quota. Montana has raised
$10 500,000.
Milwaukee lacked $3,990,050 of Its allot
ment of $14,000,000. A factory campaign
was under way today.
Figures were unavlllng for the whole
Denver district but the city itself had
wised $9 500 00b. Utah had raised $4,300,
000 of Its $6,500,000.
The San Francisco district had sub
scribed $30,000,000 of a quota of $42,000.
000. Of this, $4,000,000 was raised yester-
day.
The Dallas district was still short $15,

A sharp clash occurred between Senator

of tho hasty action of the Public Service
Commission In granting tho first certificate
of public convenience without having pre

Mr. Lewis, "we learned that tho company

Mr. Lewis. In conclusion, offered several
minor amendments to tho Salus bill, cor

that tho cost of maintaining switch connec

Capital City's Success in Liberty

. HAltniSDrmi. June 12.
Tho Harrlsburg Clearing House district
has subscribed more than $t.000,000 to the
Liberty Loan This was In response to
the Government's original request for
$2 000.000 here. When It was seen that thh
sum would be surpassed, the federal Re

not be Increased to 10 per cent of the total
nets of the banks of the district, which
would hao been $3,UO,000.
The method used by Harrlsburg to oer
subscribe Its share of the loan was pro

A tube of Colgate's contains more aoap and
