r4p' Failure of wealthy individuals and
firms to give the Victory l.il.ertv Loan
the same support as in preceding cam
paigns has caused fhiladelphia and the
entire Third federal Ueserve Distrxt
to lag far behind. 1
This statement was made today by
V. Jlorgan thurchman, associate di
rector of the War Loan Organization.
Ho pointed out that small subscribers
apparently are doing their share
The average subscription in the pie
reding campaign was SK00. To date
the average is only $250. Mr. Church
man paid this is due to the few big
subscriptions reported thus far.

rij. pmall buyer has rallied to the support

subscription blankx that have passed I
through theclearing house. So fari
f)8,205 persons and firms have bought
Victory notes. For the same period
5n the Fourth Loan 100.000 individual
subscriptions were reported.
"This is n good record for the smnll
subscribers," Sir. Churchman said this
afternoon. "Hut it must be realized
that the small subscriber cannot float
the loan. The government is dependent
largely upon the wealthy resident and
prosperous firm.
"It has been a great surprise' to loan
officials that so few big subscriptions
have come in so far, for during the
s.'-first ten days in each of the other cam -paigns
the big amounts came in readily.
It has been different this time. There
. 'htu not been a sufficient number of
notable subscriptions and that is why
the totals as shown in the official fig
ures are so low.
"The totals are by far too low for
this stage of the enmnnien. Thev offer
a most unfavorable comparison with the
rlgures for the. corresponding periods
of any of the other loans.
"Wc are well satisfied with the way
small subscribers to date have sup
ported the campaign, and believe they
will continue to do so. and we want
the big men to do their share. Lvident
ly wc shall have to inject more 'pep'
into the 'wealthier subscribers and
1 make them realize the loan cannot pos
sibly be floated by the small buyers.
"The Victory Loan must be sup
ported more whole-heartedly by the per
sons financially ublc to enter large
Subscriptions, or Philadelphia and the
rest of the Third Federal Ueserve Dis
trict 'will not reach its quota a thing
tve must not permit to happen.''

WEATHER FAVORABLE
FOR ATLANTIC FLIGHT
Raynham May "Hop" Today,
Navy Seaplanes Next
Week
.St. Johns. N. I', May 1. (Hy A.
P.) Chances for the start this after
noon of the transatlantic flights planned
by Frederick P. Raynliani, llritish avi
ator, and Hurry (!. Hawker, his Aus
tralian rival, were considered favora
ble at 1 11. in., with the prospect of
virtually ideul weather conditions.
The thick fog cleared away this after
noon, witii n gentle southwest wind.
The first weather reports to reach here
from Englnml for three days brought
word of favorable couditious overseas
nnd reports from the ocean nir lanes
were considered propitious.
The reported arrival oft" the New
foundland coast of the Ameriiau mine
layer Aroostook to establish a babe for
the United States navy's oceanic flight
undertaking, stirred the interest of the
