ORGANIZATION OF THE NATIONAL WOMAN'S LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. On May 7, 1917, the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States called to Washington for a conference in regard to the formation of a National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee the following women: Mrs. George Bass, of Illinois; Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, of New York; Mrs. Guilford Dudley, of Tennessee; Mrs. Antoinette Funk, of Illi- nois; Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, of Illinois; Mrs. George Thacher Guern- sey, of Kansas; and Mrs. J. O. Miller, of Pennsylvania. At this meeting it was decided that a woman's organization for the sale of bonds be instituted throughout the country, under the direction of an executive committee in Washington. Mrs. William G. McAdoo was made chairman of this committee. Rooms in the Treasury Building were put at the disposal of the new organization, and a clerical force installed. A publicity bureau was immediately opened, in charge of Miss Mary Synon, to work in cooperation with the publicity bureau of the United States Treasury Department. It was decided to add the following members to the executive committee — they were appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury in May, 1917: Mrs. F. L. Hig- ginson, of Massachusetts, and Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, of New York; and later, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, of Illinois; Miss Mary Synon, of Illinois; and Mrs. A. S. Baldwin, of California. On May 9 the first meeting of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee was held in the Treasury Building, and a plan of organiza- tion was determined upon.

As the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee is a committee of the Treasury Department of the United States, it was decided to organize along governmental financial lines, and the first appoint- ments made by the National Committee were the twelve women chairmen of the Federal reserve bank districts of the United States. For purposes of organization the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee has made the State the unit, and has appointed a chair- man of every State and Territory. The Federal reserve chairman has supervision over the State chairmen in her district; she directs their activities, and is held responsible by the National Committee for carrying out its sugges- tions in the States in her charge. The Federal reserve chairman also serves as a member of the executive committee of the Liberty loan committee of the Federal reserve bank board of her district. She has power to call women's Liberty loan conventions in the States in her charge, and to call together for conference the State chairmen serving luider her.

II. STATE CHAIRMEN. State chairmen in those States that are divided between two Federal reserve districts are requested to appoint a vice chairman to ci^anize the smaller area of the State, who shall report to the reserve chairman in whose district her territory lies, at the same time coordi- nating her work with that of the State chairman under whom she serves. It is the duty of each Stat^ chairman of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee to appoint a chairman for every county in her State, and for every town with a population of over 50,000. When these chairmen are appointed, the State chairman has the entire responsibility for them. She must maintain constant touch with them, in order to see that the recommendations of the National Committee are carried out, and that a satisfactory amount of bonds is being sold. The State chairman must also consult with the heads of all im- portant organizations of women in her State as to the better method of reaching their memberships with an appeal to buy bonds. She must see that speakers appear before all conventions meeting in her State duriag a loan campaign, and she must arrange for meetings in the, parts of her State where the sale of bonds proves patriotic en- thusiasm to be lacking. A fortimate arrangement has been made with the woman's com- mittee of the Council of National Defense, which insures cooperation between these two important woman's committees. When the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee appoints its State chairman for the Liberty loan, her name is presented by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of the woman's committee of the Coimcil of National Defense, to the woman's committee of the State council of defense in her State, for membership on that body. This enables the chairman representing the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee to use the existing State defense organization for Liberty loan campaigns, and for aid in organizing her own committee for the sale of Liberty bonds. Congressional District and Zone Chairmen. In some States a chairman was appointed for each congressional district, having supervision, under the State chairman, of those counties that lie in the geographical division made by the congres- sional district lines. Ill other States, where the area is large and the congressional districts few, the territory to be covered has been arbitrarily divided into zones, with a chairman having supervision of such counties or townships as may lie within her zone. This method of organization, while not generally used, has been found successful, as it divides the responsibility of supervision and enables REPORT N-ATIOXAL V/OMAX'S LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. 15 the State cjiairman to liave a more intimate knowledge of tlie counties working imder her. County Chairmen. The county chairman has the task of appointing chairmen of all towns with a population under 50,000, of all townships and villages, and in some States, of school districts. It is her duty to see that every person in her county is reached by an appeal to buy bonds; she must exact daily reports from the women working under her, and in her turn send a daily report to her State chairman of the work done in her county. She must arrange for patriotic meetings in her county if the sale of bonds is sluggish, and she must make sure that the riu*al districts in her charge are being covered. She should call frequent meetings of village and township chairmen serv- ing imder her to discuss methods of campaign. Township and Village Chairmen. The township or village chairman is instructed to appoint a gen- eral committee, consisting of leading women in every activity of her community, to plan the organization of her unit. The National Committee urges that the township be so organized that a house-to- house canvass for the sale of bonds be conducted, and recommends a trolley or automobile house-to-house appeal to reach the districts lying between villages. City Chairmen. The city chairman has a different problem, as she must organize her community so that she may reach all the people in it. The National Committee strongly urges a ward organization that will include a house-to-house canvass for bond selling. In the past campaign it was demonstrated that this was the only way to be certain that the ground was covered. In addition to this, the city chairman should appoint a flying squadron of bond saleswomen, and should send them out on daily drives for large subscriptions. They should maintain booths in banks, hotels, department stores, street comers, etc., and should see that all stores and factories where labor is employed are covered. Publicity is an important part of the duty of a city chairman ; she must keep the papers in her community constantly fed with news stories in regard to the work women are doing in the Liberty loan campaign, and she must see that posters and special street-car adver- tising of a kind to appeal to women are widely distributed. She must arrange for women Liberty loan speakers at all patriotic meetings, and at all places where women are employed; and she must see that every woman's club or organization meeting during the time of the campaign is addressed by them. She must also make an 16 REPORT NATIONAL WOMAN 's LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. effort to persuade women's institutions and organizations to invest endowment funds in Liberty bonds. This has been attempted with great success in some cities. At the Liberty loan conference recently called by the Secretary of the Treasiu'y it was recommended that the city chairman appointed in the various districts by the Federal reserve banks for the sale of Liberty bonds should include on his executive committee the woman appomted as Liberty loan chairman of that city, and other women as he may decide, and that he should appoint a woman to such subcommittees as the women members of the executive committee may suggest. This merging of the two forces for bond selling enables each to have the benefit of the other's organization and insures a more comprehensive campaign. III. ADVISORY COUNCIL. One of the first official acts of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee was to provide for an advisory council, and to appoint as membei*s the heads of the great national organizations of women. In this way the support and cooperation of these important groups was assured. In the past two Liberty loans these Nation-wide memberships were of inestimable aid to the campaigns in the various States, and in many cases the societies made national contributions of great sums to the Liberty loan. The high sense of patriotism of the organized women of the United States was proved beyond aU question.

FIRST LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN. (May 15 to June 15, 1917.) The following report is compiled from the letter files in the ofHce of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. Undoubtedly there were many subscriptions made by and through women which were not recorded here. As there were no distinctive women's blanks used in the first campaign it is impossible to arrive at any correct estimate of the results of the work done by women ; it was, however, of sufficient value to encourage the National Conmiittee to beHeve that the women of the United States might be relied upon to take a substantial share of the responsibility of disposing of succeeding bond issues. Mrs. Frank L. Higginson, chairman of the first Federal reserve district, appointed her State chairmen and put in operation the most complete piece of organization in the first campaign. The women of New England called together the heads of all women's organizations and put them to work selling bonds. They instituted house to house canvasses in many places, held street meetings, and sold bonds in department stores. It is estimated that well over $2,000,000 was subscribed through the women's committees of the first district. Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, of New York, reported that Miss Virginia Furman, chairman of the woman's Liberty loan executive committee in the second Federal reserve district, brought together the heads of 80 organizations of women to work for the Liberty loan. One organ- ization alone, the Woman's Motion Pictm"e Industry, subscribed $1,000,000 worth of bonds. The New York State Woman's Suffrage Party secured $4,700,000 worth of subscriptions; $8,300,000 was reported as the woman's total for the second district. Mrs. J. O. Miller, State chairman of Pennsylvania, reported that in Allegheny County the bankers' statements show that 34 per cent of the bonds sold were taken by women. Her estimate of subscrip- tions taken through her conmiittoos is $12,000,000. Mrs. George Bass, of Illinois, made two Chautauqua trips, of a fortnight each, speaking every day. Her itinerary covered all towns in northern Kentucky and in southern and northern Indiana. 18 KEPOET ISTATIOITAL WOMAN 's LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. 19 I^Irs. Antoinette Funk and Mi-s. Kellogg Fairbank, of Illinois, and I^Irs. Guilford Dudley, of Tennessee, reported publicity campaigns, frequent speaking, and personal solicitation for bond subscriptions to a considerable amount. In the State of California 7 out of 10 bonds were taken by women. In Tennessee the subscriptions through women amounted to $1,000,000. The following is a statement of the national associations of women which subscribed through the National Woman's Liberty Loan Com- mittee to the first issue of Liberty bonds: ADVISORY COUNCIL.

Under the direction of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee the church bells of hundreds of towns throughout the United States were rung in the week preceding the close of the first Liberty loan, calHng attention to the number of days left for subscriptions. A scattered but effective telephone canvass by women was also utilized to instruct and interest communities in the loan. In cooperation with the Treasury Department Liberty loan pub- licity bureau, the committee's bureau issued daily bulletins to all news service organizations of the United States relative to the work of women in the first Liberty loan. The bureau also issued to the mem- bership of the Daughters of the American Revolution 96,000 copies of a letter written by Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey. 20 EEPOKT NATIONAL V/OMAN's LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. TWO IMPORTANT LIBERTY LOAN CONFERENCES. woman's liberty loan CONFERENCE. On September 27 and 28, 1917, the National Woman ^s Liberty Loan Committee called a conference in Washington of all chairmen working in the woman's Liberty loan organization throughout the country and the members of the advisory coxmcil. Through the kmd- ness of Mr. John Barrett, director, the beautiful building used by the Bureau of Pan-American Kepublics was given over to the use of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, and all meetings were held in the large assembly room there. Over tliree hundred women attended this conference from aU parts of the country. Mrs. WiUiam G. McAdoo, chairman, presided. A message of welcome was read by Assistant Director Dr. Francisco J. Yanes, of the Bureau of Pan-American Kepublics. Addresses were made by Secretary of the Treasury, WiUiam Gibbs McAdoo; Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker; Senators Eeed Smoot, and Peter Gerry, representing the Senate Finance Committee; Kep- resentative Rainey, of IlUinois, representing the Finance Committee of the House; Mr. Bainbridge Colby, of the United States Shipping Board; Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense; Mrs. Antoinette Funk, vice chairman of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee; and Mrs. George Bass. Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank presented the scheme of organization of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee and outlined the chart prepared by it. There were informal accounts of work done in various States, and general discussion of the better method of organization. The delegates to the conference were received at the White House by the President of the United States. They were also entertained at luncheon at Suffrage House, where the ladies of the Cabinet were asked to meet them, and at a reception at the home of the chairman of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, Mrs. William G. McAdoo. The great advantage of the advisory committee of heads of women's organizations throughout the country was emphasized at this con- ference. Millions of women were represented there, and much of the success of the second Liberty loan campaign may be attributed to their enthusiastic cooperation. WAR LOAN CONFERENCE. The Secretary of the Treasury invited to a Liberty loan conference at the Treasury Department in Washington the governors of the Federal reserve banks, representative executives from the central li EEPOET ISTATIOXAL WOMAN 's LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. 21 Liberty loan committees of the Federal reserve districts, and the members of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee and their chairmen of Federal reserve districts. This conference was held in Washington during three days, December 10, 11, and 12, 1917, and was attended by about 125 delegates. The purpose of the conference was to exchange ideas and experiences resulting from the first two Liberty loan campaigns and, after a de- tailed discussion of organization plans, methods, etc., to make to the Secretary of the Treasury suggestions as to organizing and con- ducting forthcoming campaigns for selling United States Government bonds. The chairman of the conference was Mr. Lewis B. Franklin, director of war loan organization, who was also chairman of the group on organization and sales management. The other groups and chair- men were: Publicity, Mr. Oscar A. Price; speakers^ Mr. Charles F. Homer; accounting, Mr. J. A. Broderick. Each group met separately, and after a general consideration of the group program, divided into subcommittees for consideration of specific topics, and reported to the main group. Women represent- ing the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee were in every case members of these subcommittees. The conference was addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury on the subject of the Liberty loan and taxation. His was the only formal speech made; the rest of the time was devoted to plans for organization and sales management. Mention has already been made of the recommendation of the con- ference that the city chairman appointed through the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee be made a member of the men's executive Liberty loan committee of her city, and that a woman appointed by her should represent women's interests on every sub- committee working on loan organization in the city. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee hopes that this recommendation will be generally carried out, as the last campaign proved beyond question the value of cooperation between the two agencies for the sale of Liberty bonds. Reports were made on the work done through the women's com- mittees in the schools of the country, and some of our successful organizations of teachers and pupils were favorably commented on, and recommended. The following quotation is from the official report of that conference, issued by the Treasury Department : A most valuable part of the conference was the attendance from the various Federal reserve districts of the district Liberty loan chairmen, and the presence of the offi- cials of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. The extremely important work done by the organization of women throughout the country was apparent to all those familiar with the facts. In those districts where there was sufficient time to properly coordinate the work of the organizations of women 22 EEPORT NATIONAL WOMAN 's LIBEETY LOAN COMMITTEE. •with the Liberty loan organizations, the results produced were remarkable. For instance, in one State the organizations of women alone sold more than $41,000,000 of the second Liberty loan bonds. The above is illustrative of what may be accomplished where there is proper coop- eration. It is therefore recommended that all Liberty loan executives make a special point of assisting in coordinating all Liberty loan activities within their respective jurisdiction. It is suggested that (1) the district chairman of the woman's organiza- tion be made a member of the central Liberty loan committee of the district, (2) that the State chairman of the woman's organization be made a member of the State Liberty loan committee, and (3) that the local chairman of the woman's organization be made a member of the local committee. (Copies of the above report may be procured by writing to Mrs. George Bass, secretary National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, Treasury, Washington.) SECOND LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN. (October 1 to 28, 1917.) NATIONAL COMMITTEE. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee is a strongly centralized body, with the responsibility and direction firmly located in Washington. The fact that the committee is a committee of the Treasury Department necessitates this; the chairmen all over the country are not only chairmen of their own particular unit, they are also representatives of the Treasury Department of the United States, and as such must be closely united to it. Under these conditions it will readily be seen that the management of the office in the Treasury Building at Washington is a most im- portant part of the work of the committee. Mrs. Antoinette Funk, vice chairman of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, imdertook this arduous duty, and all through the hot summer months she stayed at her post in Washing- ton, building up a skeleton of machinery and conducting the volumm- ous correspondence that preceded the campaign. Mrs. McAdoo and Mrs. Funk conducted the office end of the second campaign, with the assistance of Miss Mary Synon, who directed publicity and distribution. Mrs. George Bass devoted her entire time before and during the second Liberty loan campaign to speaking to large audiences at Chautauquas in the Western States on the subject of Liberty bonds. During August she spoke daily, reaching almost every county in Nebraska and Kansas. In September she joined the Secretary of the Treasury and his party in San Francisco, and spent a fortnight in California, speaking at meetmgs arranged for Secretary McAdoo. In October she spoke in many towns of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah, at Spokane and Seattle, Washington, at Portland, Oreg., at Helena, Mont., and at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. She returned to EEPORT FATIOXAL WOMAX'S LIBEETY J^OAl^ COMMITTEE. 23 California at the end of the month, and was in San Francisco for the Liberty Day celebration there. The results of her appeal to the women of the West are apparent in the totals shown in the finan- cial report from State chairmen, and in close relationships estab- lished by her between the National Committee and its representa- tives in the States she covered. Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank spent the weeks preceding and during the campaign in Washington, assisting in organization work, and in the Middle West, working with local chairmen in the seventh Federal reserve district, endeavorhig to give the work of women for the loan greater publicity. She spoke in Indiana, Wisconsui, and Illinois, and particularly in Chicago, where, for the last 10 days of the campaign she made several loan speeches a day. Mrs. F. L. Higginson was fully occupied with her work as chairman of the first Federal Reserve District. She visited each State in her district, spoke at frequent meetings, and stimulated the work of her State chairmen. Mrs. Guilford Dudley, as State chairman of Tennessee, demon- strated her great ability as an organizer of women. Her State was thoroughly covered, and $2,650,000 was credited to the efforts of the women. Mrs. J. O. Miller, State chairman of Pennsylvania, devoted her time to tho organization of her State, with the amazing result of a total subscription from women of over $29,000,000, at a total ex- penditure of $50 — the best example of volunteer work in the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee records. The following is the report of the publicity chairman : During the months of August, September, and October, the publicity bureau of the committee furnished articles concerning the Liberty loan to 22 magazines, with a total circulation of 17,557,324, and including all the more important publications for women in the United States. Material for editorial use was also furnished to 46 periodicals for women. During the month of October, the committee bureau dis- tributed weekly copy concerning woman's share in the loan to farm journals, news- paper syndicates, religious weeklies, miscellaneous and foreign weeklies, and to mail-order journals. The bureau also, during the last 10 days of the drive, distributed daily publicity to 3,000 local women chairmen in the United States. Through cooperation with the Treasury publicity bureau the committee sent out daily bulletins to all news service associations in the country and weekly information to all newspapers during the Liberty loan campaign. Seven million dodgers for distribution to workers in factories were sent by the committee to those States of particular industrial activity where the local officers stationed workers at the entrances to factories to giVe out these fliers on Liberty Day. A special appeal to farm women was made by cooperation with the Treasury pub- licity bureau in the insertion of copy in the letter which was distributed to users of rural free delivery routes by the Post Office Department of the United States. Through the cooperation of the States Relations Service of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, hundreds of trained lecturers and demonstrators in farm work enlisted the interest of the farm women of the country in the Liberty loan. 24 EEPORT NATIONAL WOMAN 's LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. Two million dodgers of appeal to the farm women of the United States were sent out by the mail-order houses of Montgomery Ward & Co., and Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Chicago, through an arrangement made with these houses by Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank. From the Waehington headquarters the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee sent out 3,000,000 special application blanks for women subscribers to State chairmen for redistribution among their local officers, and to members of the advisory counsel for distribution among their organizations. The committee also sent out 100,000 organization charts, 110,000 source books, 500,000 primers, and 500,000 special posters to the State organizations during the second Liberty loan campaign. The committee also issued 98,500 circular letters, in several different forms, to members of organiza- tions throughout the United States. Among these were 25,000 letters to clergymen of various religions requesting their cooperation in promoting the sucess of Liberty loan Sunday. These letters contained excerpts from exhortations prepared for the committee by leading clergymen of the various religions, appealing for patriotic interest in the Liberty loan. The committee placed through the enthusiastic cooperation of the librarians of the country 4,500,000 Liberty loan reminder cards in as many public library books in 1,500 libraries. Mrs.- Katherine Russell Eckstorm, who directed the office staff for the distribution of the 17,000,000 pieces of copy sent out by the committee, reported that the last run of material cleared the United States Treasury on October 22, 1917. The director of publicity and distribution wishes to call attention to the fact that the clearing of this great volume of material was made possible only by the self -sacrificing labors of Mrs. Eckstorm and her women coworkers in the task. Mary Synon. INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL RECORD. women's blanks. In the second campaign, in response to the request of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, an especial subscription blank for use of women was printed by the Treasury Department. The distinguishing feature was simply that these blanks were printed in blue ink, with the idea that, at the close of the campaign, when "the tumult and the shouting" died, the bankers of the country could at their leisure separate the blue blanks from the black and determine the amount of money taken in through the woman's committee. Two causes contributed to the failure of this plan. One was that a banker has apparently no leisure; from every State dismayed protests came from them when requested to add the burden of this work to the splendid service they had already contributed to the work of the Liberty loan campaign; and the other was that, in any event, the record would have been inaccurate, as, due to unavoid- able delay in the printing and distributing of the woman's blanks, in many States the campaign was well under way before they came into the hands of the women. The financial record of the chairmen of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee is therefore impossible to compute accur- ately. In the following report, when the words "actual account" are used, it indicates that the State chairman has claimed only EEPOET NATIONAL WOMAN'S LIBEETY LOAN COMMITTEE. 25 those subscriptions actually taken through her committee, making no allowance for money subscribed directly to the banks in the blue blanks given out through her committee. No State has com- plete returns from every county, and the actual account takes into consideration only those counties where a definite record was kept. The '^estimated totals'' represent this amount, added to what the bankers of the State announce to be their estimate of money sub- scribed through them, on woman's blanks. REPORT CARD SYSTEM. In the coming campaign there will be no attempt made to differ- entiate the woman's blanks; in place of that, a system of reporting subscriptions taken has been worked out, and report cards are to be mailed daily by each county chairman to her State chairman, and weekly by each State chairman to the National Committee and to her Federal reserve chairman. These cards will shortly be dis- tributed. Financial Record of Federal Reserve Chairmen in Second Liberty Loan. [Compiled from actual accounts of State chairmen.] District. Chairman. Amovmt. Remarks.

The majority turned their subscriptions in to the chairmen of the various States, or directly into banks on the woman's subscription blanks distributed through their organizations. In New York City alone, women's organizations reported over $10,000,000 subscribed. 1 It is interesting to note that the estimates made by the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee of total amounts due to women's work in the entire United States, and the bankers' estimates in those States where such an estimate was made, arrive at approximately the same figure for the estimated total of women's work in the United States. 28 REPORT NATIONAL WOMAN 's LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. Cooperation with Government Departments. Under the cliairmansliip of Mrs. Carl F. Kellerman, each depart- ment of the Government was organized for the sale of Liberty bonds to women employees. A Liberty loan chairman was appointed in each department, committees were formed, and the departments were thoroughly canvassed. During the last two weeks of the campaign, Mrs. William G. McAdoo and Mrs. Antoinette Funk spoke at noon meetings to large groups of the women employees of the Govern- ment. The amounts obtained from the various departments were as follows : Department of State (Miss Ethel E. Lawrence, chairman) $14, 100 Treasury Department (Miss Clara Greacen, chairman) 407, 800 War Department (Miss Est^lle Helman, chairman) 80, 850 Post Office Department (Miss A. B.

Miss Florence E. Ward, in charge of tlie extension work among women conducted by the Department of Agricultm-e, rendered efficient aid to the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. The demonstration agents of her department, North and West, were instructed to carry with them into the homes of the country people literature and subscription blanks from the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. Undoubtedly many women subscribed through this agency. Miss Ward also sent letters to the agricultural colleges in all States asking their cooperation and the help of their agents in the field. Owing to unavoidable delays in Washington, this work was taken up so late in the campaign that there was not time to reach great numbers of people. In the third drive for the sale of Liberty bonds, the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee is assured of con- tinued cooperation with the Extension Work Division of the United States Department of Agriculture, and anticipates a large sale of bonds through this channel. EEPOET NATIONAL WOMAN 's LIBEETY LOAN COMMITTEE. 29 REPORT OF TREASURER. During the first two Liberty loan campaigns, the expenses of the women's committees, Federal reserve, State, and city, were donated by women, or were paid through the generosity of the men's com- mittees. The total expense submitted directly to the Treasury Department was S3, 712. 16, and the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee is able to state that the amount of money contributed from the other sources was small. It is a generous estimate to announce that $50,000 would cover the entire expenses for State campaigns for the whole country in the second issue. In preparation for the more intensive organization of the women for the third loan, it has seemed advisable to prepare a budget of expenses for each committee. These are based on the results of the women's work and on the expenditures necessary in the earUer loans. Below are copies of our budget forms. All budgets have been approved by the finance committee and by a Treasury official before the money was put to the credit of the Federal reserve chair- men. When it seemed advisable, the committee has raised or low- ered the total amount. To the budgets have been added possible traveling expenses for chairmen of Federal reserve districts. States, and counties, in order to insure large attendance at local or State conferences. It is recommended that whenever possible, chairmen donate their traveling expenses. Careful reports of aU money spent in selling the loans, whether donated or paid by the Treasury, are to be kept by all chairmen. The tendency of women to be too saving for efficiency has been illustrated in some of the budgets received. For their encouragement and for the restraint of the extravagant, the following card has been sent out: DON*T WASTE MONEY. There is available, through Congressional action, for the selling expenses of the loan about 1 mill in every dollar of Liberty loan bonds sold. That means that you ought to consider that every dollar spent should result in the sale of at least a thousand dollars' worth of bonds. Spend your money to sell bonds wisely. Don't waste the Government money. All of us together are the Government. It is our money.

The problem of perfecting any organization that shall fit the whole United States is a difficult one. The situations in different States are completely dissimilar; as, for example, in Delaware, the State chairman can reach her county chairman by telephone at small expense, or get to them comfortably in an hour or two, v/hile a chairman in Montana reports that: ''Our counties are as large as many good-sized Eastern States. In my county but six towns can be reached by rail. The roads are so bad that last week a doctor nearly lost his life in a 50-mile trip, yet we must reach people at these magnificent distances, and undertake frequent 50 to 70 mile trips. Mail is unsatisfactory, for it takes from two to three weeks to secure answers from some localities.^' It has been found impos- sible to hold rigidly to the scheme of organization outlined in this 32 report. Some of the departures from it that proved successful locally are submitted here. Florida used the ready-made organizations of the State because of the late appointment of the State chairman. Connecticut worked on a town-unit basis instead of the county. Georgia worked through district, rather than county, chairmen. Minnesota organized through three important cities, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duiuth; the woman's Liberty loan committee there depended upon the county chairmen of the woman's committee of State defense for the sm^ll towns and 83 counties of the State. In Oregon, counties being large and distances to travel being great, the county units were found impossible, the State was divided into districts making certain towns the center. Some of the features introduced locally in certain parts of the country are of sufficient importance to be commented upon in this report. SCHOOL CHILDREN. In ^Michigan, Mrs. Delphine Dodge Ashbaugh, the woman's Liberty loan committee chairman, called a conference of the teachers of the English classes in the high schools in Detroit, and as a result the following plan was developed: During the Liberty loan campaign, the children in the English classes were allowed to devote their time to Liberty loan work. They wrote themes, planned speeches, made posters, etc., all of which were put to practical use. The boys and girls spoke before the different rooms. As a result of the enthusiasm aroused in this way, they sold over $1,500,000 worth of bonds. In Illinois, Mrs. Howard Willson, the woman's Liberty loan com- mittee chairman, secured the aid of the school children of the State in the following manner: She appealed to the State superintendent of public instruction to divide the schools of the State into three groups. He then wrote a letter to the county and city superin- tendents of schools, asking their cooperation in putting before the children the plan for the campaign in the State. Gov. Lowden consented to give three flags, one to each school in which the greatest number of bonds was sold per capita according to the enrollment. A letter was sent by the State Liberty loan chairman to county and city teachers asking their aid, and a special appeal to the children themselves was issued on cards printed in red and blue. As a result the school children secured, in Chicago alone, subscriptions for $2,130,350 worth of Liberty bonds. A MILE OF NICKLES. In Washington, D. C, Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton developed an interesting scheme with a double appeal. A day was set apart as children's day with the slogan ^'A Mile of Nickles," and children I 33 from all public and private schools, orphan asylums, and all children of members of patriotic societies, were invited to attend in a body at different hours of the day and bring their nickels, which they deposited in a bank in the form of a large Liberty bell. Their names were then inscribed on a roll of honor. The money was used to purchase Liberty bonds to be contributed to the fatherless children of France. An authorized custodian of this association was present during the day. Special features of children in costume, both military and historical, were announced through the press at specified times. Speakers for the Liberty loan addressed large crowds about the booth. PARADES. Children's parades were held in various parts of the country with tableau ^'floats" representing important events in American history. Two of these parades which were notably successful were Lincoln, 111., and in Puyallup, Wash. In Minneapolis, in a Liberty Day parade, there was a special division of wives and mothers of soldiers, each woman carrying her service flag. Their banner read, ''We have given our men. They are more precious than dollars." In Keno, Nev., the girls of Reno College sold ''hot dogs" in street booths in order to raise money to buy Liberty bonds as an endow- ment fund for the college. EXEMPTED MEN. In Illinois an appeal was made to all exempted men. The Federal exemption ofhcers furnished the names and addresses of about 150,000. The card sent to them seemed to the bankers such valuable material that it was asked for and recommended by them to aU States in the 8th district. SPEAKERS. In Rhode Island, the woman's Liberty loan committee interested a number of young women in the speaking end of the campaign, and prepared with them four-minute addresses. At the State defense headquarters in Chicago two classes in public speaking on patriotic subjects have been conducted by Prof. Nelson of the University of Chicago. CLUBS. In Washington, D. C, the Twentieth Century Club was divided into sections of 20 women each, and one woman was appointed to present the Liberty loan appeal to every woman in her section. 34 EEPOKT NATIONAL WOMAN 's LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE.

Liberty Day was suggested to Secretary McAdoo by a member of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. He chose October 24 as the date, and instructed the committees working for the loan all over the country to make this day the climax of their drive. The President of the United States announced a general hoHday, and in every city and town of importance, and in almost every county, speeches were made, and on the evening before, Liberty bonfires were hghted, this feature also being suggested by a member of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. WASHINGTON BONFIRE. In Washington, a monster Liberty fire was lighted near the base of the Washington Monument on Liberty Eve. Wood had been sent from places of historical interest in practically every State in the Union; there were pieces from the boyhood home of the President in Georgia, Lincoln's home in Illinois, Cleveland's birthplace in New Jersey, Custer's headquarters in North Dakota, the Aztec House, near Roosevelt Dam in Arizona, Grant's home in Missouri, the Consti- tutional Elm at Cory don, Ind., the old Blue Lick battlefield of Ken- tucky, the homes of Presidents Jackson, Johnson, and Polk, from Tennessee, etc. The fire was lighted by Mrs. McAdoo, and at the same moment the signal was given to start the fires that crowned the Virginia hills on the opposite side of the river. Enormous crowds witnessed this ceremony, and papers all over the country printed accounts of it. REACHING THE RURAL DISTRICTS. The agricultural population in the various States was reached by the following means: Rest rooms in county courthouse; advertising; speaking; country newspapers; house-to-house canvassing; circulari- zation, and personal letters ; personal visits ; distribution of literature ; patriotic meetings at schoolhouses ; market days in town; churches; country stores; rural letter carriers; telephone solicitation. LOAN COMMITTEE. 35 Meetings were held generally at school houses, churches, granges, fairs, fraternal meetings, and all other gatherings. There was much interesting pubhcity in the newspapers in each State. The copy given below is possibly the most important single instance of women's appeal in paid advertising in the press: Women — For the Next Four Days. Put aside any work that interferes with your doing your utmost to §how how much you care whether or not this country wins this war. Doing your bit is not enough. Doing onr best and then bettering it is what we must do right now. WTien the colonial soldiers ran short of bullets in their struggle for independence their "women folks" melted lead, ran bullets, and carried them to the fighters "behind each fence and farmyard wall." Ammunition for this fight for freedom is not going to be home-made, but the mothers of ihe fighting j:q.en must provide liieir share of it just the same. If you ever wondered whether you could have been a heroine of the Revolution, now is your chance to find out. Whether history puts the women of 1917 alongside of the women of '76 depends on what we all do in the next four days. There is nothing dramatic about buying liberty bonds, and it may take more courage than running off leaden bullets. If the front-line trenches were just over in Detroit, we would volunteer all our resources. Because the line is a little farther away, are we to let our soldiers think that from Michigan to France, by way of Texas, is too far for our loyalty to go? It is unbelievable that our help for them should be more remote than their sacrifices for us. Somewhere in that gigantic fighting unit is the man who makes this war ''my war" for each one of us. We must match his gift of all with our gift of all and, like him, be ready to pay on demand. That demand has come. For the first time in our remembrance women are asked to come into big business as partnei's. For the most part women have been ciphers when it came to large finance . Now we have a chance to prove that the only difference between a million and a billion is a few ciphers at the right side of the line. That is our side. If we wake up to the chance of the next four days and do it now, we shall have a share in victory. If we wake up next week, we shall miss our chance and help the enemy. Let us do something more than talk and knit and patch up mistakes. Wlien it comes to food and shoes and munitions, fifty dollars' worth of Liberty bonds is more persuasive than the tongue of an angel. If every woman buys or makes someone else buy one Liberty bond to-day, the success of the loan is assured . Are those men out there in the cold and hardships to thinlv of us as just reserves, safely back of the line? Or are they to know that we are fiide by side at the very front, the army of support and the army of action, standing shoulder to shoulder? We know the answer. Right there is the place where we should be, and there is where we will be. So, altogether, with a^ll our strength and courage and love for the men who are fighting for us, let us go "over the top, ' ' and may God help us!

RECOMMENDATIONS TO STATE CHAIRMEN FOR THIRD LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN. COOPERATION WITH ORGANIZATIONS. All State organizations of women should be utilized. The State chairman may effect this cooperation by — (1) Letter to State representatives asking their cooperation. (2) Calling a conference of all State organizations to form a work- ing committee. (3) Asking State representatives to appoint members in counties, cities, villages, and townships to work with local Liberty loan chairman. (4) Circularizing State organizations for the loan. (5) Asking for volunteer workers from each organization to join flying squadrons of bond saleswomen during campaign. 88 BEPOBT NATIO]S'AL WOMAN'S LIBEETY LOAN COMMITTEE. (6) Making arrangements for Liberty loan speakers at State and local meetings of organizations. (7) Communicating with Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, chairman, ad- visory coimcil conunittee, Treasury Building, Washington, D. C. COOPERATION WITH CLERGY. The State chairman should make full use of the churches and religious organizations in conducting her campaign. (1) An appeal should be sent to ministers of all denominations to emphasize from the pulpit the necessity of buying Liberty bonds. (2) Special attention should be paid to the churches in rural dis- tricts, as this is often the only agency through which residents of remote country districts can be reached, (3) If agreeable to the minister, arrangements shoidd be made for speakers to appear in churches at evening services. (4) The ladies' aid societies, guilds, and other women's auxiharies, should be enhsted in the bond-selling campaign, COOPERATION WITH SCHOOLS. It is hoped that each State chairman will devote eonsiderable attention to cooperation with the public and private schools in the coming campaign, as where this was practiced in the previous drives the results secured were invaluable, not so much in the amount of bonds actually sold, although this was worth while in itself, as in the carrying baek into the home of each child the ideal of patriotic service through buying a Liberty bond. For special organizing of school activities, see section "Special Features of the Second Liberty Loan Campaign." Further informa- tion may be secured by commimicating with Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, chairman, school teachers' activities. COOPERATION WITH COLLEGES. Where the opportunity was given them, it was found that students in all institutions of higher education were keenly alive to the signifi- cance of the Liberty loan campaign, and were eager to assist in every way possible. The following suggestions for a college campaign arc made: (1) The State chairman shoidd write a letter to the dean of women in every coUego in her State, asking her to form a Liberty loan unit in the coUege. (2) Student committees should then be appointed to canvass each university. All records made by such committees should be given the widest possible publicity. (3) Colleges should be recruited for women speakers, and oratorical departments in colleges should be stimulated to develop them. A special course in patriotic speaking would be of great value. EEPORT NATIONAL WOMAN 's ILIBEETY LOAN COMMITTEE. 39 SPEAKEK-S. Without exception, every State diairman reported that in the last campaign she had too much printed matter and too few speakers. Therefore the amount of literature sent out in the succeeding cam- paign will he greatly reduced. Experience has proved in every sec- tion of the country that the spoken word is the most effective method of reaching the people. In one State, for example, the chairman reported that only 35 per cent of the population knows how to read; if bonds are to be sold under such conditions, speakers must reach every community in the State. Women employed in industrial plants have little time to read the daily papers; they should be appealed to at noon meetings by speakers accompanied by some one who will take subscriptions after a short talk on Liberty bonds. At all meetings of the rural population a Liberty loan speaker shoidd present her appeal, and all clubs, federated and unfederated, should be appealed to at all meetings held while a Liberty loan cam- paign is in progress. Meetings should be held in rest rooms of de- partment stores, on street comers, everywhere that the public may be reached. This program means that great effort must be made to list and develop local speakers in every part of the State, and State chairmen are urged to investigate all possibilities. Many women, without previous experience in speaking, developed into effective speakers during the campaign. If there is an existing speakers' bureau in connection with the banking committee, the State defense eom- mittee, or any patriotic, fraternal, professional, or business associa- tion, the State chairman should endeavor to have a representative on this committee and to see that all speakers are available for Liberty loan work during the campaign. If there is no such speakers' bureau in her State, the Liberty loan chairman should appoint a committee to form a Liberty loan speak- ers' bureau, with instructions to canvass all colleges, associations of professional women, social service workers, club women, etc., in search of speakers; to hst these women, enroll them for service during the campaign, and see that so far as possible all parts of the State are covered by them. For important meetings m large centers. State chairmen will be able to secure speakers of national importance by applying to their Federal reserve chainnan, provided they comply with the ruling of the Director of the Speakers' Bureau of the Treasury Department. Statement of Charles F. Horner, Director of Treasury Speakers* Bureau. "If any chairman of a Federal reserve district, serving on the woman's Liberty loan committee, will submit an itinerary of not less than six towns in her district, the speakers' bureau in Washington 40 will be glad to send a speaker to cover the meetings, at the expense of the Treasury Department. When the request comes, the chair- man of the speakers' bureau will endeavor to sejid a woman speaker, but if one can not be secured a man will be sent. It is assumed that a demand will be made only for meetings of considerable size, and that the request will be made at least a week in advance of the first meeting.'' NJJWSPAPER PUBLICITY. It should be borne in mind that the success of the bond issue is largely dependent upon advertising. People will not buy bonds unless they know they are on sale. While the actual contact with the editors of newspapers is largely in the hands of city or town chairmen, the State chairman is urged to meet the principal editors of her State and to discuss with them the matter of publicity before the next campaign opens. She should also instruct the county chairmen to call upon the editors of the papers in their counties and to arrange to give them stories of the local woman's committee work. A chairman of publicity should be appointed by each State chairman, whose duties should include a supervision of the woman's Liberty loan publicity in the papers of her State. The newspapers have given splendid service to the country in the two past campaigns for the sale of Liberty bonds. The editors in the United States have proved that they are willing to do their part, but the Liberty loan chairman must keep in mind that it is not reasonable to expect them to print material "unless it is of timely interest; it is a part of such chairman's duty to develop novel and unique schemes which wiU attract attention and compel space in. the papers because they will be news. CHANGES IN ORGANIZATION. If any change is made in organization within the State as outlined by the national committee, the State chairman is requested to consult with the National Committee at Washington in regard to it. Recom- mendations for organization have been made after a careful study of the reports of aU State chairmen, and while the National Committee does not wish to be unreasonably rigid in regard to such matters, it does wish to have definite reasons submitted for any proposed changes in the official plan of organization. REPOET NATIONAL WOMAN 's LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE. 41 REPORTS. The report forms given below will be printed on franked post cards and are intended for the* use of State, county, and city chairmen: WEEKLY REPORT OF STATE CHAIRMAN TO NATIONAL WOMAN'S LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE.

Amount. $!50 $ 100 $ 500 $ 1,000 $ Total number Total amount $ Complaints or questions: The county and city chairmen are asked to fill out a daily report of bonds sold through their organization and to mail it to their State chairman. The State chairman then compiles a weekly report of the nimiber and amomit of bonds sold through her State organization and mails it to both her Federal reserve chairman and the National Committee. In this way an accurate account of the bonds sold through the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee may be kept, and in the 42 next report of tliis committee there will be no necessity for estimating returns. WAR SAVINGS. . The National War Savings Committee has asked for the cooperation of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee in the work of selling war savings certificates and thrift stamps. Mrs. George Bass, secretary of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, is a member of the National War Savings Committee and represents the Liberty loan organization there. In every case the State chairman for the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee has been made a member of the State executive committee for war savings, and locally many of our chairmen are giving their time between Liberty loan campaigns to the work of the War Savings Committee. When a Liberty loan drive is announced all women enrolled to work for the sale of Liberty bonds are released for that prior responsibility. FRANKING PRIVILEGE. USE OF FRANKED OR PENALTY ENVELOPES. The franking privilege has been extended to the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee under the following provisions: As to National Committee memhers. — The members of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, all of whom act on behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury, will have the use of penalty envelopes in conducting official business. \" As to Federal resen^e and State cliainfnen. — Federal reserve and State chairmen, whose offices will be located in their respective districts or States, are like the members of the National Committee, appointees of the Secretary of the Treasury. In the performance of their duties by virtue of such appointment they will carry on correspondence relating exclusively to the business of the Govern- ment of the United States, and in such correspondence they are entitled to the use of penalty envelopes. % As to local committee chairmen, — The franking privilege has been made available to the executive chairman of the regular Liberty loan organization in each city or county. Individuals in each city or county who will have the right to use the iranls. wiU be designated by the executive committee of that Federal reserve district, and will be furnished with a printed authorization making him a Treasury representative. Subordinate conmaittees may have the right to use the frank imder his direction, provided all literature contains the signature of this executive committee chairman, either printed or written. For example, if a subordinate committee of the Woman's Liberty Loan Organization wishes to send out a communication under REPORT NATION^AL WOMAN 's LIBERTY LOAN" COMMITTEE. 43 frank, it would contain the signature of the executive chairman who is the Treasury representative, and the additional signature of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. POSTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Any department or officer authorized to use the penalty envelopes may inclose them with return address to any person or persons from whom or through whom official information is desired, the same to be used only to cover such official information, and indorsements relating thereto. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee is advised that distribution of pamphlets, etc., in many instances is not to be made from the offices of State chairmen, as originally contemplated, but rather through offices of county or city chairmen. Under those circumstances, the State chairman would be justified in sending to county and city chairmen only such number of penalty envelopes as would be actually required for distribution of particular pieces of literature from time to time. Great caution should be exercised by Federal and State chairmen to see that penalty envelopes are not furnished to county or city chairmen except when needed in individual or particular instances and never in excess of the actual quantity needed for a particular distribution. This obligation is moral in character, both because of our relations with the Treasury Department, which has made such a generous extension of the franking privilege to us, and because of the fact that we should not make it easy for any person to misuse penalty envelopes.

Fifteen counties organized in state and only two sent in expense accounts. Counties raised their expenses in various ways. * 4> * « * * In Omaha, Nebraska, the Liberty Bank, a repHca of the Sub-Treasury of New York, was organized through the National League for Woman's Service, an organization listed on the Advisory Council to the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, and the work in Omaha was done by the officers and members of the Omaha branch of the League. The Bank was formally opened on April 8th, 1918, by Mayor Dahlman and Mr. T. C. Byrne, State Chairman, Third Liberty Loan Committee. Up to the closing on Saturday night, May 4th, there were 1510 Bonds sold, with a total of 3710,200. Noon day speeches were given each day by prominent speakers and music was furnished. During the four weeks the bank was opened each day at nine o'clock and closed at six o'clock, with the exception of Saturdays, when it closed at nine o'clock. A regular banking system was installed and thousands of dollars in cash and checks were handled each day. « 4t « * * « Olive Branch, Mississippi, apportionment was 310,500 and subscribed 340,000 the first day, 332,650 of that amount was sold by women. In one town in South Dakota the unaccepted allotment cards were turned over to the Woman's Committee and they returned them to the County Committee with every allotment accepted. Tacoma, Washington, built a hall in which to sell Bonds. Materials were furnished free, and organized labor built the whole thing in one day, turning it over with the lights on in the evening. Business men of the city acted as waiters at the meals which were served to the laborers. Woman State Chairman was given the privilege of naming the building, which she called "Victory Hall*" In Walla Walla a similar hall was built. The valuable feature of this work was the combining of all elements that go to make up a community, and bringing them together in this patriotic effort. Glastonbury, Connecticut, reported the most interested and active worker on the com- mittee was a woman born in Germany. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, over one third of the amount subscribed through the Woman's Committee was taken in the house to house canvass. Four women speakers spent ten days touring south Texas counties, all of which failed to make their quotas in First and Second Loans, most of which oversubscribed in Third Loan. They spoke from an automobile on the public square in three or four towns daily, and in some places also addressed afternoon and evening meetings in halls. Pazi Ninetten Liberty Loan Lights — Continued In Bardstown, Kentucky, the Third Liberty Loan Campaign for the sale of Liberty Bonds was opened on April 6th at a patriotic rally held in the historic old Court House. Talented young women of Bardstown representing England, France, Belgium and Italy sang the national songs of these Allies. Their performance proved to be such a success that they subsequently toured the county in order to repeat it. In New Mexico three counties passed their quota through subscriptions collected by the Woman's Committee alone. One county made six times its quota through the Woman's Com- mittee. The women of White Pine County, Nevada, with a population of 13,500 sold 3554,850 worth of Bonds, making the subscription 41.10 per cent, placing White County fourth among the counties of the United States in subscription per capita. ********** In a small town in Connecticut a meeting was arranged by the teachers and committee at which the children furnished the singing and part of the speaking. At this meeting 33,000 was subscribed from this particular district where 3500 was set as the maximum quota. ********** One precinct Chairman in Wyoming, covered her territory on horse-back over the moun- tains in blinding snow storms in order to sell Liberty Bonds. ********** In Colorado, Kentucky, and other states with vast unsettled district, some of the finest work was done in the wilderness counties, where women traveled on horseback for many miles, making their house to house canvass, doing their "speaking" before an audience of one or two, in lonely mining camps or remote ranch houses. ********** Wilmington, Delaware, took a map of the city and divided into wards and sections of wards. These directions were written out on cards and each worker had a card and knew exactly which side of the street she had to canvass, and how far and which street. They drew by lot the part of the city they were to work in. They had small districts and went again and again. Headquarters had a billboard 50 feet long on which was marked each ward and division of ward with captain's name, and line provided for each day all across billboard, on which was entered the total number of subscriptions and the amount of subscriptions received. Meetings twice a week in the first three weeks of campaign and three times the last week. In Sullivan County, Indiana, the Chairman advises the main campaign in the county was that of the women. The women had a full page ad in the daily newspaper, an appeal to the SuUivan women to buy Bonds. This contained the names of eighteen leading women and was paid for by them. Had another full page ad of soldiers starting "over there." This ad was signed by fourteen war mothers and paid for by them. In this county the town of Farmersburg of three thousand inhabitants sold 330,000 worth of Bonds. The women sold all but two thousand of these and eight women did all this. A special Liberty Loan Honor Flag for the State House was offered to the Governor of New Hampshire by the New Hampshire Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. It was accepted by him and presented by the Chairman of the Woman's Committee, at the State House at noon on May 9th, 1918. By courtesy of the Chairman of the New Hampshire Committee of Public Safety this presentation was made before a large gathering of people assembled for a patriotic mass meeting under the auspices of this Committee on that day. In one county in North Carolina the women received credit with the Men's Committee for all Bonds sold. This was suggested by the men, who suggested they would take charge of the publicity if the women would sell Bonds. The result was a splendid oversubscription. Pagg Twenty Liberty Loan Lights — Continued Racine, Wisconsin, held a particularly appealing parade, the flight of the Belgians being : very realistically portrayed. • ********** In Maricopa County, Arizona, an automobile Flying Squadron, planned and organized I by the Woman's Committee, was sent out the last week of the drive through the rural districts, assisting the different communities to raise their quota. The Squadron carried musicians, speakers, and bond salesmen, telephoned in advance the hour they would arrive in a particular town. They then held a meeting and made a thorough canvass of the town in a short time, the subscriptions obtained being credited to the particular community. This proved very effective and many communities probably would not have attained their quota without this assistance. ********** In Richmond, Virginia, fifty organizations of women joined in the campaign. The City Chairman secured the co-operation of all these organizations by approaching the president of each and asking her to present the plan at the regular monthly meeting, and if approved to appomt a chairman to assist her, and also to name a strong working committee of from twelve to eighteen women. Merchants of leading department stores, proprietors of the best hotels, the Postmaster and others were asked to co-operate by allowing the women to have booths in their places of business. This met with immediate response. Beautiful booths were built and everything placed at their disposal by these men. Several meetings were held before the campaign opened and at the last meeting the head of each organization was asked to draw from a box a card which stated the date, and at which booth that organization should start to sell, thus no partiality was shown and absolute fairness prevailed. This campaign started on the first day of the loan and lasted until the close. Each organization sold once a week, progressing from booth to booth, up and down streets, like an old-time "progressive card party." As each organization entered the booth the president took a general interest for the day and under her was a chairman and a committee working in relays of two hours each. Many Bonds were sold to the passing public but the greatest work was done on the outside, the booth being the "goal" to which to bring subscriptions. Women solicited all over the city, and a house to house canvass was often made. The Bonds sold were credited to each organization, and a keen and pleasing rivalry was established. At the close of the Loan 9,135 subscriptions has been secured amounting to 33,317,150. In Cincinnati, where house to house canvassing was done by both men and women, almost the total subscription was taken in this way. *********if In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, there were eighty booths in the city, twenty-nine of which were erected at the expense of the Woman's Committee, and manned by various women's organ- izations, others being donated. Women managed the booths in parks, street corners, hotels and restaurants, department stores and theatres, with a subscription of 321,596,750.00. ********** In St. Louis a monster Liberty Loan parade, with speeches by the Governor of the State and a concert by the Great Lakes Band. A sham battleship and a submarine, so real that they were almost startling, were christened by the women and toured the streets. They were manned by women and men who solicited Bonds daily. An heroic Statue of Liberty was placed on 12th Street and unveiled by a little girl at a large patriotic rally. The foreign born population had a parade and each country represented placed a memorial wreath at the feet of Liberty, while Bond salesmen circulated through the crowd and took subscriptions for Liberty Bonds. ********** In Wellesley, Massachusetts, the publicity committee planned an evening of "Liberty Loan Pictures" posed by school children from Liberty Loan posters and historic scenes. Every- body who could get into the hall came, and the pictures, the little talks and papers, mostly by children, helped along the sale of Liberty Bonds wonderfully when the house to house canvass was made by the Women's Committee. ********** In Buffalo, New York, the entire number of Bonds was taken by the people, and the banks were not called upon to subscribe for any of the Bonds. Pagf T'.4.'enty~one Liberty Loan Lights — Continued In Detroit, Michigan, all voting booths were used, painted white and decorated with flags and bunting. These occupied prominent places in parks and at street intersections. The following Club Plan was adopted in Chicago: The Woman's Liberty Loan Committee Chairman appointed a Chairman of women's organizations, and each Club President appointed a Liberty Loan Chairman to work with her. The Liberty Loan Chairman in turn appointed Captains, each Captain to have charge of twenty club members. Each Captain was to buy a Bond herself and sell a Bond to each Club member. The members in turn were to sell Bonds to the members of their families or at least use their influence toward the sale of such Bonds. There are about 30,000 members of Women's Clubs in Chicago. As a result of this Club Plan the sum of 36,126,550.00 was raised for the Third Liberty Loan. In Washington County, Mississippi, the Chairman arranged a mass meeting for women and advertised this meeting by means of a telegram which reached 175 women in Greenville by seven o'clock in the morning, the same being delivered by the Boy Scouts. Some of them were awakened to read the message. The result was a large attendance. The State Chairman from Connecticut reports that the sale of Bonds from a Liberty Cot- tage in a central location and house to house canvass to be the most effective methods of reach- ing the people. In a number of cities in this state these cottages have been built largely through the efforts of the women chairmen. The quota for Thornburgh Borough, Pennsylvania, was 34,600. In this District 361,650.00 was raised by the Woman's Committee, and the town received the Honor Flag with twelve additional stars. At Louisville, Kentucky, the opening day of the Loan was celebrated by a woman's parade. All women in the city engaged in war work marched. The different groups carried their own banners and some of them were marked by special uniforms. There were no men in the line of march, which formed in the business district and marched through the main part of the town to a large church where a woman's mass meeting was held. In Massachusetts the State Chairman applied to organizations of women for lists of speakers. These lists she turned over to the Chairman appointed for the Speaker's Bureau. This Chair- man called these speakers together for a meeting, at which it had been arranged to have men speakers to instruct the women speakers. They continued to hold these meetings until the drive began. There were about forty speakers in number and all very enthusiastic. After several weeks of these meetings the Chairman arranged for an afternoon of trial speeches, about five minutes long, which proved very interesting and served to give the Chairman of the Speaker's Bureau a clear idea of the ability of her speakers. In Tishomingo County, Mississippi, the joint committee of men and women made a special effort to reach citizens suspected of disloyalty. They arranged a meeting in one of the larger towns to which was invited by letter every citizen who had been heard to make a remark sug- gestive of disloyalty, and when they came to the meeting they were called upon to make speeches. In these public utterances, their patriotism blossomed like the rose to the confusion of their erstwhile followers and to the internal satisfaction of. the instigators of the rally. The Vermont Woman's Committee secured a certain Captain Findley, a wounded Cana- dian officer, to make a speaking tour of the state. On April 9th he spoke at a small town of one thousand inhabitants whose quota was 310,500. He had an audience of only one hundred people, but after he finished speaking in fifteen minutes, 310,900 was subscribed. Page Twenty-ttoo Liberty Loan Lights — Concluded In the Fifth Federal Reserve District Mrs. Seay reports that in an endeavor to interest the farmers to a greater extent in the Loan and to subscribe more liberally to Bonds, she started a movement to attract them. Hundreds of canning clubs had been formed in many counties of the different states, which clubs were composed of wives and daughters of farmers. Mrs. Seay secured from the Agricultural Department at Washington the names of the agents in the states in her district including the woman in charge of the clubs of each state, which lists she furnished to each of her state chairmen, urging them to enlist the aid of county chairmen in trying to interest these women and get them on their committees, have them addressed by local speakers, etc. This was done and it was the unanimous opinion in all of the states that splendid results were obtained from this movement. In Illinois, where the school campaign was managed by the Woman's Committee, 310,- 988,900 was subscribed through the schools, of which 38,957,400 was subscribed through the schools in Cook County, with 85,140 subscribers. Seymour, Connecticut, reported having a booth mounted on a truck, v/hich was motored to the center of the town each day, a bell being rung to draw the crowd. In Phoenix, Arizona, the women organized an "I Am Earning My Bond" Club, by which many women without separate incomes and whose husbands had possibly subscribed liberally, pledged themselves to buy either a fifty or a hundred dollar Bond, paying for it themselves, either through making some sacrifice and economizing personally, or by earning the amount themselves. Many and various schemes for earning money were devised and much interest was stimulated among the women in this way. In Pratt County, Kansas, one German Lutheran Church, which had never been opened for any purpose other than their own Church services, was opened to the Woman's Committee for a mass meeting with splendid results. Page Twenty-three Appendix TREASURER'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOURTH CAMPAIGN Before the beginning of the Third Liberty Loan the National Woman's Liberty Loan Com- mittee arranged wich the Treasury Department for the financing of state and federal reserve chairmen in field work. The Treasury allotted to the use of the Committee money for the prose- cution of this work. By this arrangement the fiscal relationship of the committee to the Treasury Department became twofold: First: The Treasury makes the apportionment of allowances for the federal reserve and state chairmen for expenditure in the loans. Second: The Auditor of the Treasury checks up the accounts of the expenditures of these allowances. In the Third Liberty Loan an arrangement was made whereby the payment of bills approved by either state or federal reserve chairmen might be made out of the federal reserve banks, since either the banks or the Treasury itself must be the disbursing agents. As it was necessary that the Committee have some check upon the amounts disbursed — since it is the agent responsible to the Treasury — a system was arranged by which the Treasurer of the Committee countersigned all vouchers before their payment by the Federal Reserve banks. This system however had the disadvantage of delaying payment. To overcome these delays and yet keep a check upon such disbursals the following system has been arranged for the Fourth Liberty Loan. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee sets in the twelve federal reserve banks of the United States, allowances to cover the approved budgets of federal reserve and state chairmen for field expenses. The Committee has authority from the Treasury to make an arbitrary allowance for a state in one Federal Reserve Bank, even when the state is divided between two reserve districts. The Federal Reserve Chairman of the district to which the state has been assigned becomes the approving agent for the payment of the vouchers presented to her by the state chairmen upon their approval. The method of procedure approved by the Treasury Department for payment of vouchers is hereby prescribed: 1 Each claim for payment shall be submitted in the name of the county chairman or other person who actually advances her personal funds in payment of traveling or other expenses or who is claiming payment for services rendered or supplies furnished. No person should attempt to reimburse another for her outlay or pay her for services rendered or supplies furnished, unless the services or supplies cannot be otherwise procured. This would per- mit payment for small items of supplies or services such as small bills for telephone, tele- graph, etc., or where the person will not wait for payment in the regular way, but original claims should be submitted by the original claimant, if possible. 2 Each claim shall be approved by the county chairman or other person who procured the supplies or service and be forwarded to the state chairman. 3 The state chairman, after examination and approval, shall forward the claim to the Federal Reserve chairman. 4 The Federal reserve chairman, after examination and approval, as to form, shall forward the claim to the Federal reserve bank for payment. 5 The Federal reserve bank shall make payments by check and mail the checks direct to the claimants. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee issues three forms, Form W. L. L. 8, Special Form W. L. L. A., and Special Form W. L. L. B. Form W. L. L. 8 is entitled "Claim for Reimbursement or Direct Payment." It must accom- pany Special Form W. L. L. A and Serial Form W. L. L. B. when either of these is presented for payment. It reads, see page 25. This form comes in four parts, one white original and three blue-colored duplicates. The original and one duplicate is to be sent by the state chairman, upon her approval, to the federal reserve chairman of that district where the money for her state has been allotted for disbursal. Another copy is to be sent to the Treasurer of the National Woman'* Liberty Loan Committee, Pagf Ttventy-fonr Special Form W. L.

C. A fourth copy is to be kept by the state chairman for her files. These claim forms must in all cases be accompanied by the necessary sub-vouchers, bills, receipted bills, authorizations, etc. Copies of said sub'-vouchers will not be needed with copies of the claim form. If the state chairman has already paid the bills presented and seeks reimbursement, she makes herself the claimant, presenting her receipts. Otherwise, she makes the creditor the claimant. Special Form W. L. L. A., reads, see page 26. It is for travel expenses only. Special Form W. L. L. B reads, see page 27. Special Form W. L. L. B is designed to be presented for the payment of all expenses other than travel expenses incurred for the Loan by the proper offlcers. Only those officers designated by state or federal reserve chanmen have authority to incur expenses. Limitation of character of expenses is made by a circular issued by the Treasury Department. In the Third Loan this was Circular No. 103. This is being revised for the Fourth Loan. It may be added that the new circular does not contemplate further restrictions than those incorporated in Circular 103. The Federal Reserve Banks, who act as disbursing agents for the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, make payments in accordance with the Treasury regulations contained in these orders. The Federal Reserve Chairmen, therefore, who receive the vouchers for approval from the state chairmen, will countersign them only when they conform to these regulations. Should they fail to do so, the Federal Reserve Chairmen, will return the vouchers to the state chairmen for correction. The state chairmen will return the corrected voucher to the Federal Reserve chairmen, stating that it is a corrected voucher, and at the same time send the copies of such cor- rections to the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. In order to secure exemption from war tax on government business, county chairmen are requested to apply to their state chairmen for exemption certificates. These war tax exemption blanks will be furnished state chairmen on request to the Fiscal Agent, National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, Treasury Department, Washington .D. C. PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION IN THE FOURTH LOAN The entire system of printing and distribution for the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee has been reorganized for the fourth campaign. It was decided by the Executive Committee to have all printing for the national campaign done in Chicago, which provides ample facilities for prompt service, and which is a much better distribution center than Washington because of its central location. Mrs. Bass was authorized by the Treasury Department to open a Chicago office to carry on this work, with Miss Stephens as her assistant. Estimates on the quantity of all items of stationery and literature which it is proposed to issue have been received from the Federal Reserve and State Chairmen, and it is believed that the new arrangement will prove satisfactory in every way. All shipments are made by express on Government Bill of Lad- ing, and the Record of Shipment blank which is filled out in duplicate by the manufacturing firm, one copy going to the State Chairman and the other to the Chicago office, provides an accurate check on shipment of material and receipt of same by the State Chairman. Pai^e Tivftxiy-ei^ht SCHEME OF PUBLICITY ORGANIZATION FOR THE WOMAN'S LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE Publicity Director, State Publicity Chairman, County Publicity Chairman, Local Pub- licity Chairman; in each instance working in co-operation with and responsible to the person by whom she is appointed. '! Publicity Director: Appointed by Fed- j eral Reserve Chairman. Responsible . for publication of District returns and I stories and promulgation of National Publicity. State Publicity Chairman: Appointed by State Chairman. Responsible for publication of State Returns and stories and daily reports by night letter to Publicity Director. The Federal Reserve Chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee may appoint a Publicity Director who should furnish for the Sunday issue of the big dailies a story giving the returns by states of the women's activities. In this way rivalry among the states will be awakened and enthusiasm greatly stimulated. The State Chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee should appoint a State Publicity Chairman, preferably a woman of some experience in newspaper work, whose duty it should be to prepare a special story from the county reports for the Sunday issue of each big daily in her state. This copy must be sent in by Thursday or Friday, though if it contains vital news it will usually be accepted as late as Saturday. First page space for a list of the amount of subscriptions secured by the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee in each county should be obtained if possible. This list should give the name of the county, the name of the Chairman, and the amount secured, the largest subscription heading the list, the other counties following in order of amounts. Request that the words, "Woman's Liberty Loan Committee" be played up in headlines. A personal interview with the editor, tactfully conducted, will secure many favors. Promptness, brevity and accuracy are essential in all newspaper stories. The County Chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee should appoint a County Publicity Chairman whose duty it should be to get a good Woman's Liberty Loan story in each issue of the county papers. This story should contain some report of the women's work in each local subdi- vision of the counties. Each County Subdivision (or" Civil District) Chair- man for the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee should appoint a local Publicity Chairman whose duty it should be to see that reports of the women's work reach the County Publicity Chairman in time for publication. Wherever practicable, this report should be transmitted by telephone or night letter. This publicity should awaken local pride in all county Districts and the effort to report in time for the press will speed up the work and greatly assist the State Chairmen in securing prompt records for the Federal Reserve Chair- men and the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. The various Publicity Chairmen should recognize the value and necessity of spectacular publicity which can be used for educational purposes.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT REPORT National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee for the FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN SEPTEMBER 28th to OCTOBER 19th 1918 WASHINGTON 1918 1 T \ Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee TAKEN FROM THE REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY FOR THE YEAR 1918 The National Woman* s Liberty Loan Committee One of the most notable factors in the success of the Liberty loans has been the work of the women of the United States. It was with the belief that the women of the Nation would con- stitute a powerful moral force in war finance that the National Woman's Liberty Loan Com- mittee was appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury in May, 1917. That they, working through the organization effected by this agency, have not only accomplished this purpose but have also become an essential element in the actual labors of promoting the loans constitutes one of the most interesting chapters in the financing of the war. There is probably no war service in which so many women have taken more active part than in the raising of money to pay our war burden. To their energy, their enthusiasm, their zeal, and their vision is due a great part of the success of the Liberty loans. When the United States went into war with Germany the business of bond selling was a field so new to women that all work within it has been genuine pioneering. The organization of women for the task has been the work of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, which has served in co-operation with the Treasury's war-loan organization. The members of this committee, serving as volunteers, have performed the work of enlisting more than a half million women as sellers of Liberty bonds. The first labors of the members of the committee, after the closing of the first Liberty loan where their work had been general publicity of war finance among women, were concerned with the adjustment of established organizations of women throughout the country to the established machinery for the raising of the loans. Where organization existed, the women of the Nation were organized by States, while the Treasury's loan organization was based upon the twelve fiscal divisions of the United States. It was the problem of the committee to correlate the two schemes of organization. They solved it by the appointment of both State and Federal Reserve chairmen, the former responsible for actual organization of women in their respective States, the latter serving as the representatives of the women in dealing with the Liberty loan committees of the respective Federal reserve districts. Liberty loan committees elected the women Federal reserve chairmen members of their executive committees. In this organization during the second Liberty loan 60,000 women became sellers of bonds. Reports of the women State chairmen, and of the executive committees of the Federal reserve districts, indicate that the woman's organization obtained subscriptions for 31,000,000,000 of the second loan. In the third loan 500,000 women were enrolled as members of the organization, which had a woman chairman in almost every county of the United States and township officers in almost every township. In the third loan the women were again credited with having been the selling agents of more than a billion dollars in bonds. In the fourth loan between seven and eight hundred thousand women served, but it is not possible at this time to make an estimate of the amount of bond sales attributable to the woman's organzation. No mere recital of results achieved can show the extent of the service which women have given to the Nation through their participation in war finance. That hundreds of thousands of women assumed the burden of a new kind of labor, not for themseves but for their country, i is one of the most striking and characteristic facts in relation to the women of America that the i war has developed. The Liberty loans have afforded a new proving ground where the women of the Nation have accepted the opportunity to demostrate again their patriotism, their ability their consciousness of the obligations of citizenship, and their steadfastness of soul in the great ' and terrible crisis which our country has met. JVhat American Women Have Done for the Liberty Loans By William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury The women of America have demonstrated extraordinary power and capacity in connection | with the financial operations of the Government. Their work has been of the highest value, i The National Wom.an's Liberty Loan Committee has brought into existence an organization of women throughout the country which is one of the most important factors in the success of | Liberty Loans. I am deeply grateful for the splendid support American women have given to the Treasury | and to all war activities. The increasing demands of the war will make their work more and| more important. Their continued enthusiastic and spirited co-operation strengthens myi confidence in the success of the Treasury's future financial undertakings. (Signed) W. G. McADOO The above letter appeared in the Pictorial Review for November, 1918.

Antoinette Funk, Vice Chairman Mrs, George Thacher Guernsey /Irs. George Bass, Secretary Mrs. F. L. Higginson ,Iiss Mary Synon, Treasurer . Mrs. J. O. Miller .Irs. a. S. Baldwin Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip ,I rs. Guil ford Dudley *Mrs. Ella Flagg Young Died October 26th, 1918 THE National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee has sustained a great and lasting loss in the death of a valued member, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Mrs. Young was a woman of distinguished reputation for a lifetime of im- portant public service, of an age when she might, with honor, have allowed war work to proceed without her, yet, when the Secretary of the Treasury appointed her a member of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee she responded with enthusiasm. Her contribution to this work was mainly through the channels of Loan publicity. She made the United States Treasury her office, and the service she rendered, although necessarily anonymous, is written into practically every important piece of literature sent out during the war, and into the various pubUc documents of the secretaries. When the necessity arose for members of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee to go about the country on speaking tours, and to attend Liberty Loan State Conferences, Mrs. Young made no plea of disability or age. In the Fourth Campaign she undertook the severe strain of a far Western circuit, where, owing to the epidemic, mass meetings were largely held out of doors. In October, in Idaho, she filled the last engagement of this kind, although at the time she her- self was suffering from the influenza. Pneumonia followed, and in Washington, on October 26th, Ella Flagg Young died, as truly an offering on the altar of her country as any youth who gave his life in France. She was buried in Chicago, and at the request of Secretary McAdoo, the Treasury Department was officially represented at her funeral. To the country at large Mrs. Young stood for all that was fine and progressive in modern life; to the members of the Committee with whom she worked during the last eighteen months of her life she came to mean this, and something much more intimate. None of them will ever forget her caustic wit, her clear-sighted grasp of the essential, and her kindly understanding of human nature; in their work in preparation for the coming Campaign they will miss the stimulus of her companion- ship, and the advantage of her wise council. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee regrets that owing to the cost of paper nd printing, it is impossible to list every woman enrolled on County, City or Township Com- littees in the United States. The National Committee appreciates that the marvelous success ttending the work of the Woman's Committee is largely due to the loyalty and perseverance of lese unmentioned women, and that it is impossible to over-praise their devoted efforts. It has been told of Gladstone, that while he was Chancellor of Exchequer, he became so ffected on reading to Parliament a report consisting entirely of figures, that tears were seen to be .reaming down his face. The figures were no longer mere figures to him, because he knew they ^presented the self-sacrifice of a nation, and thus became symbols of patriotism and devotion. The figures representing the work of the women of the United States for the Fourth Liberty oan contain a similar appeal. This work was done at a time when many households were facing Iness and death from the epidemic of influenza. Many of our workers were actively engaged I nursing. More women than ever before were doing their own house work. The casualty Usts cm Europe struck home to the hearts of many of our chairmen. Financial returns are astonish- igly gratifying, but the real contribution of our women goes too deep to be expressed in the umber or the value of the Bonds sold, for the burden was borne by saddened hearts as well as eary shoulders. Thus, through sacrifice have the women working for the success of the Liberty oans won the right to share in welcoming the peace which is to bless a War Weary World.

Seay, Richmond Mrs. E. B. Reppert, Dallas Sixth District ._ Twelfth District Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin, Atlanta Mrs. A. S. Baldwin, San Francisco Note: Fourth Liberty Loan Financial Report The recording of the amount of subscriptions taken by the Women's committees in the various states becomes in each campaign an increasingly complicated matter as the idiosyn- crasies of different localities emphasize themselves. In the following report of the Fourth Campaign those states are indicated where no cor- poration subscriptions were taken by the Woman's Committee, as this division of the field necessarily limits the amount of money possible for the women to raise. States where the Voluntary Subscription or Allotment Plans are adopted are also indicated. Throughout the Middle West these plans have been followed sometimes by an entire state and sometimes by sporadic counties. Voluntary Subscription Plan: In counties organized under this plan all bonds sold are disposed of in the early days of the drive, generally on the first or second day. Intensive organization and propaganda are employed for a fortnight beforehand, both men and women taking part in this work. When the sale begins booths are opened at stated places where the people of the county may come to make their Voluntary Subscription, and no bonds are sold by solicitation. Individual Allotment Plan: In counties organized under this plan a Committee is formed which determines the amount of money to be subscribed to Liberty Bonds by each resident of the county. Cards are dis- tributed asking for individual information on size of income, amount subscribed to other loans indebtedness, financial obligations, etc. When this information is compiled, notices are sent out informing each resident of the county the amount he is expected to subscribe in the coming issue. He is given an opportunity to protest this amount if it seems to him unfair. There is a large amount of clerical work in connection with this method of selling the Liberty Loan, which women and men share: in those states following this plan no Bonds are sold by solicitation. As no Bonds are sold by solicitation under either of the above methods, it is, of course, impossible for the Woman's committee to make a financial report on Bonds sold through it. In the Seventh and Eighth Districts the Liberty Loan Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank requested that in counties where either of these plans were in operation the women report as their share fifty per cent of the amount raised. In the Ninth District the Liberty Loan Com- mittee of the Federal Reserve Bank asked the women to report twenty-five per cent as their share. In the Twelfth District fifty per cent was allowed and in the Tenth District fifty per cent. In the entire Ninth District and the state of Iowa the women's committees have reported as above. Where a state is not organized uniformly, and sporadic counties follow either of these plans, a separate record has been kept for them, the other counties reporting as before on the amount of subscriptions secured through the women's committees. In some cases especial mention has been made of the influenza epidemic, and the havoc it wrought in campaign plans. It should be remembered, in reading the following report, that this scourge was general, no state was free from its ravages during the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign. Another statement which is included in the report of practically every State Chairman is that the relations between the men's and women's committees, in the beginning of the war so often bewildering, and sometimes irritating, were, in the Fourth Campaign, of a most satisfactory nature. These two committees in the same field have proved that complete co-operation between men and women may be both harmonious and helpful, and either one would be loath to dispense with the services of the other. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, rejoicing in this happy state of affairs, realizes that it is in a large measure due to the tact and efficiency of Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee 5 its Federal Reserve Chairmen, who represent the State Chairmen at the Federal Reserve Bank Liberty Loan Committee meetings. An important development of the woman's campaign was an emphasis placed on Thrift and Economy. In every state this appeal was made through the Woman's Committee, and in several a carefully planned savings campaign was conducted. In the five New England states Tithing Boxes were distributed in the shape of cardboard banks, in which to collect coins for the first payment on a bond; this proved a successful activity, as large numbers of boxes were turned in. In many states the Woman's Committee determined upon a musical campaign, through community singing, etc. Although the epidemic interfered, this form of emotional appeal was found most successful. J. A. F. France Miss Clara Greacen, Chairman. Amount Sold 320,100 The Woman's Liberty Loan Committee in France practically limited its efforts to selling Bonds to American women in France. No eifort was made to perfect an organization: the Bonds were sold through personal solicitation of the chairman. Alabama Mrs. Solon Jacobs, Altamont Road, Birmingham, State Chairman ^ Mrs. John D.

Taylor, City Chairman 'Cleanings from the Campaign: Mrs Jacobs tells one of the most inspiring stories of the soldier quality of the women who ire working for the United States in the Liberty Loans. "Two women from one of the back voods counties of Alabama came to the state conference. They could not read or write, but vithin their souls burned the fire of patriotism. 'There's a girl in our county who can read and vrite for us,' they told Mrs. Jacobs, *but she don't know people the way we do. Give us the county jetween us,' and we'll carry it over the top. And although Alabama was in the throes of the jpidemic and their county suffered as much as any other, the two of them carried out their )romise." At the close of the first week of the Campaign all meetings were discontinued on account of he epidemic, and the Woman's Committee compiled and had painted several "Voiceless Speeches" vhich were turned in windows and kept Liberty Bonds before the public. One feature especially noted was the response of the Negro women of the state. Reports eached headquarters from almost every county telling the same story of patriotic response. Attention is particularly called to the results of the house-to-house canvass of the negro women among their own race) who obtained in Bonds of small denominations 324,600 from working vomen whose daily wage was at the lowest scale. The Press Chairman of Alabama reports 1854 inches of Woman's Liberty Loan publicity n newspapers during the Fourth Campaign, estimated value at 31600. The Woman's Committee made use of a house-to-house canvass Committee in Birmingham, :nown as the Rainbow Division, which turned in 31,162,700. 37,250 was raised through women's )rganizations, 393,000 from business women, — 31>065,000 from corporations.

In the cities booths were also kept open. A majority of counties placed majority of subscriptions on stated Volunteer days. In Arkansas the Woman's Committee took no credit for money so subscribed.

CITY QUOTA— Los Angeles 342,938,900 Amount raised by Woman's Committee 26,100,500 Percentage raised by Woman's Committee 60% The Woman's Liberty Loan Committee had a complete precinct organization in this city. A preparatory survey, of the precincts had been made and lists of the residents made out with other information so that, as the sales were made, the Woman chairman could check up and know that all had been reached. There was a Precinct Headquarters in each Precinct where a list was kept and where each day the reports were handed in and from which at stated times reports were sent to County Headquarters of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. There was an Industrial Committee to canvass all business houses, manufacturing establishrnents and an area in the city where there are few or no residences. The Woman's Committee insisted that all Bonds sold either by this committee or any other committee, or the Banks, should be reported back to precincts. The Precinct chairman spent a part of each day at the Headquarters, her Vice-Chairman or secretary representing her when she was not there. The official collectors from the Banking Committee visited these precincts daily to collect the money and checks and t Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee applications. Many of these Precinct Headquarters were very attractive; all had the same sign — a white card with red border and blue lettering giving number and name of precinct. There was always a display of banners, and all very official looking. This splendid organization proved very fortunate when the influenza epidemic struck. "The Liberty Loan organization was in a panic but the Woman's Liberty Army went over the last trench and drove every thing before them." Gleanings from the Campaign: At Palm Springs, a small health resort on the edge of the desert in Riverside County, the quota was 3800. The Chairman of the Woman's Committee sold 38000 — ten times the quota. In Del Norte County, the quota, 374,000, 3117,250 was subscribed. Every Bond sold in this county was sold by women. In Sacramento the women accepted 3100,000 as their quota. They actually raised 32,859,730.

Berger, City Chairman f- The Bonds sold by the Woman's Committee in Denver were sold entirely in a house-to-house canvass in residential districts, which was the only campaigning possible on account of the influenza epidemic. Number of subscriptions through Woman's Committee in state 53,353 Gleanings from the Campaign: One worker in Routt County, discovered on the last day of the drive that her town was far from the top, because of the inability of ranchmen to leave the fields. Sh,e harnessed a team and scoured the country, stopping wherever she saw a man at work. She secured enough Bonds to put her community well "over the top." A Recognition Banner was awarded by the Woman's State Committee to the womeji of Baca County for securing the highest percentage of gain over the subscriptions turned in during the Third Campaign. These women raised twelve times the amount they did before. In Rio Grande County, potatoes are an important factor in Bond buying. To release men for work in the fields, the women conducted the entire campaign. Besides selling Bonds, many women helped out also in the fields. One woman captain did her work in the time left from cooking for 13 men and milking 16 cows. Their quota was met early in the drive. Connecticut Mrs. Morgan G. Bulkeley, Care of Aetna Life Ins. Co.

Street gatherings were held nightly, with moving pictures, music and speeches. The amount secured by them was almost half the city's allotment. The New Haven Committee gave a "Two Block Party" with marked success. Two city blocks were roped off. The asphalt was washed spotless, streamers of electric lights made a canopy overhead, and a band played for dancing. While the participants were resting on benches — at ten cents a seat, — speeches were made urging the purchase of Bonds. 8 Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee j The Committee of Lebanon, reported that two of their number visited one farmer who had not subscribed to the three previous loans. While talking with him about the necessity of every- one helping the Government, they helped him husk his corn, and were rewarded with a pledge. Bristol, invented the "Cheer Up" post card. Each person buying a Bond was given a card to send to a Bristol soldier "over there." Colchester made the visit of the War Relic Train a special occasion; the entire population of the town, with flags, band and State Guard, formed on the green and marched to the train. The town of Brooklyn reported having a Liberty tent in the shadow of the spire of the old church on the village green, where Israel Putnam used to worship. On Columbus Day, the West Hartford Committee staged a French Market on the grounds of the chairman of the Liberty Loan Committee of that town. Announcement was made that everything would be sold from a pin to a pig, which proved literally true, the proceeds of the sale tobeinvested in Bonds to help the city meet its quota in the coming United War Service Campaign. At the Liberty Loan Booth, Bonds to the amount of 352,650 were sold. The personnel of working committees was largely recruited from organizations of women; in 12 towns these women raised the entire quota. Delaware Mrs. Henry Ridgely, State St. and The Green, Dover, State Chairman STATE QUOTA— Fourth Liberty Loan 316,013,280 Amount raised by Woman's Committee 9,775,550 Percentage raised by Woman's Committee 61% (This does not include the DuPont subscription, 50% of which was placed through the Woman's Committee.) Number of Subscriptions through Woman's Committee 30,192 to 11.7% of the population. Gleanings from the Campaign: The Woman's Committee at Dover unfurled on the State House the Honor Flag of the previous loan. As it went up hundreds of little cards bearing the words "Buy Bonds" rained from its folds. The Woman's Committee had perfected plans for an elaborate campaign of song and spec- tacular features. They went over the top on excellent newspaper publicity and posters. Del- aware was hard hit by the epidemic, yet towns with one-fourth of their population smitten went over the top In Wilmington no meetings, even of team captains, were allowed — and no canvass. Many Liberty Loan women were ill, there was a shortage of nurses and doctors, and the dead lay unburied, yet the Woman's Committee of Wilmington reports 36,000,000. Down near Port Penn, where the Government was engaged in erecting a big munition plant, two New Castle County canvassers stopped a farmer, working in a field, and asked him to buy a Bond. No, he wouldn't buy a Bond, he had no money for a wasteful government; he saw enough of the way things were going at Port Penn, and none of his money was going that way, and anyhow he couldn't buy a Bond because his wife had been sick all summer, and the colored woman in the kitchen had wasted everything. "There!" exclaimed the canvasser, "You and all your family were in the house with that woman, all of you watching her, and you couldn't prevent waste. Now how do you expect Uncle Sam at a time like this to be every- where and see everything at once.'' There's bound to be something go a little wrong." The farmer bought a Bond One Kent County farmer bought bonds as his enthusiasm mounted. He was not at all pleased with the Loan, but as a kind of duty and rather grudgingly, he took a three hundred dollar Bond. He went to a Liberty Loan meeting and got so stirred that he bought another four hundred dollars worth, and told a member of the committee that he had put every cent he had in Bonds, but that if the district didn't go over the top to let him know. "But how can you do more if you have no more money?" the woman asked, "Well, if it comes to that, Ma'am, I can sell a hoss." District of Columbia Mrs. Harriet Blaine Beale, The Connecticut, Washington, Chairman QUOTA— Fourth Liberty Loan 327,608,000 Amount raised by Woman's Committee 3,118,000 Percentage raised by Woman's Committee 11% Women's organizations secured subscriptions for 3112,150 worth of Bonds. Gleanings from the Campaign: The Woman's Committee planned a parade for October 5th, Women in War Work Day, which had to be called off on account of the influenza epidemic; also all meetings had to be sus- pended, and as the days went on and the influenza grew worse every plan of the committee Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee had to be abandoned. The women, however, manned the booths at the hotels, department stores, and the Union Station, securing 3604,400 worth of subscriptions through this source. One of the plans of the Woman's Committee, which, too, had to be abandoned, was to have each child in the public schools take home a pledge 176,850 Gleanings from the Campaign: In Multnomah County, which includes Portland, the Woman Chairman of the Foreign Language group did such excellent work, and was so successful in selling Bonds to these people that the Men's Committee asked her to take entire charge of that branch of the campaign for them. On September 21st, the entire state participated in a "Mothers Parade", which was the special feature of the campaign. Only mothers, wives, sisters and children of those in service were eligible. It was estimated that in Portland 5000 were in line, 1200 being mothers, headed by 18 Gold Star Mothers. It was a great, silent appeal which passed through the crowded streets. Two weeks before the parade women were requested through the newspapers, pulpits, schools, clubs, etc., to participate in the parade and to register at headquarters. In this way over 1200 names of women were procured who can be called on to assist in another campaign. Women working on men's teams were allowed to credit subscriptions so secured to Woman's Committee. Over a thousand were so employed in Portland. Pennsylvania Mrs. J. 0. Miller, 7109 Jenkins Arcade, Pittsburgh, State Chairman STATE QUOTA— Fourth Liberty Loan 3703,567,000 Amount raised by Woman's Committee 226,141,061 Percentage raised by Woman's Committee 32% Number of subscriptions through Woman's Committee 1,001,039 22 Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee CITY QUOTA— Pittsburgh (Including Allegheny County) 3163,452,750 Amount raised by Woman's Committee 66,680,300 Percentage raised by Woman's Committee 40% Mrs. Clarence Renshaw, Chairman CITY QUOTA— Philadelphia (Including Philadelphia County) 3259,198,000 Amount raised by Woman's Committee 71,235,170 Percentage raised by Woman's Committee 27% Gleanings from Pittsburgh Campaign: In Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh, 12,000 women volunteered their services for the Fourth Campaign. They wrote 150,000 applications in spite of the prevalence of the influenza and the quarantine, which stopped all meetings. They took subscriptions for over sixty-six million dollars at a cost of one-hundredth of one percent. ^ The Woman's Committee had charge of all the booths, which numbered fifty, and through which 332,926,350 worth of subscriptions were taken. The schools were entirely under the Woman's Committee securing 18,528 subscriptions amounting to 33,686,700. An instance of the splendid work done by the schools is the record of the Peabody High School. With a total enrollment of 1,555, 98% of the enrollment, or 1,522 pupils sold at least one Bond. The Boy Scouts working under the direction of their own organization and reporting to the Woman's Committee secured subscriptions for 34,318,400 worth of Bonds. On the first day of the campaign the Woman's Committee in Pittsburgh served what was called a Trench Breakfast, on a short street back of their offices, called William Penn Way, the Y. W. C. A. taking charge of the service. Twelve hundred women were seated at this out-door breakfast. At one side was an orchestra and a quartette, at each place was a song sheet with the words of all the popular war songs. After the meal was served there were alter- nate periods of singing and speaking. As it would have been impossible for one speaker to have been heard by so vast a throng, for many additional onlookers had gathered, there were 20 speakers, all working at once, each one covering two divisions. Each speech was confined to five minutes and at the end of such a period the speakers changed places, so that for half an hour they kept up a steady run of short, snappy talks. At the end of this time Mr. Daniels was due to arrive, but his train was delayed and there was a wait of considerable length, but the women were patient, though they had been served at one o'clock and Mr. Daniels did not arrive until four o'clock. Upon his arrival he was introduced by the chairman of the Woman's Committee, and gave a stirring speech to the women. This eager and enthusiastic gathering was an aus- picious beginning for the campaign. Several days later the Woman's Committee celebrated their first special day; this was called Hero Day, celebrating the American heroes who had gone over to the other side. A booth was named after every celebrated general. All were successful, but the one that did the record business was the Memorial Booth; there on a large tablet were listed all the names of the boys from Allegheny County who had fallen in France. Every woman who asked for a subscription at that booth was one who had given her boy on the field of battle to her country. The result of this appeal was 35,137,250 worth of subscriptions. « The next special feature was Allied Day, which was extremely unique and attractive. Eighteen trucks were decorated as booths and travelled over the city streets; each of these booths represented an Allied country and ran the whole gamut from the United States to China. All these booths specialized in the districts where the people of their own nationality lived and all reaped a good harvest. This not only aroused the enthusiasm of the various allied citizens, but attracted great attention and gave the Woman's Committee great publicity, securing 33,481,100 worth of subscriptions. Urged on by the necessity of making people subscribe again for Bonds the Woman's Com- mittee decided to try what was called a "Life Saver." They published widely in the papers that after a certain date Liberty Loan buttons would be no protection against being solicited for Bonds, that the only people who would not be solicited were those wearing a Life Tag. They then filled the streets with their solicitors. This was so successful that a rather humorous incident occurred. The men's committee came, saying that they could sell no more Bonds unless the Woman's Committee allowed them also to use the Life Line. The women at first demurred as it had been their idea, but the men were so insistent,^ even offering to pay all the bills for the women's as well as their own, that they finally gave in, and in a twinkling every good citizen of Pittsburgh wore a Life Line in his coat. In connection with this Life Line, it is mteresting to know that the Woman's Committee received permission from the street car com- panies for their solicitors to board the cars and sell Bonds. This was the first time such per- mission had been given in Pittsburgh.

The State Chairman had a list of all the papers in the state, and the dailies which were taken in the state, and to each of these papers articles with local coloring were sent. County Chairman made use of the talent of the school children and had them make posters. One County Chairman sent a card to every man in the county suggesting that his wife would rather have a Liberty Bond for a Christmas gift than any other present. 22% of the women in the state are Bond holders. In one township every inhabitant, but seven, man, woman, and child, bought a Bond. The campaign in South Dakota was practically over in one day. South Carolina Mrs. F. S.

Decorated automobiles carrying speakers to rural districts, proved a successful campaign activity. In Berkely County the Men's Committee turned the campaign entirely over to the women. 24 Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee Tennessee Mrs. Samuel Phillips, Commercial Bank Bldg., Memphis, State Chairman Mrs. John Aust, Nashville, Chairman Zone 1 Mrs. Milton Ochs, Chattanooga, Chairman Zone 2 Mrs. S.

Gleanings from the Campaign: Agricultural Campaign was conducted by organized house-to-house canvass. The women travelling in buggies and on horseback where machines could not go. The State Chairman gave special attention to the agricultural districts, talking to county courts on first Mondays during the entire summer. Negroes organized and did splendid work without outside help. Nashville women conducted a wonderful campaign, and the feature of it was street booths, over twenty in number. From morning until eleven at night those booths were open and oper- ated by leading women. All of the leading young girls in town gave their entire time to these and special amusement programs were given during the day and evening at these booths. The programs were invariably printed in the papers the day before. The street looked like a big carnival; everything else in Nashville was closed on account of influenza, but the women saw their campaign through. The result was the Nashville women sold actually 64% of the city's quota. The publicity chairman in Nashville, for both men and women, was a member of the Woman's organization. In Knoxville and Nashville brilliant night parades were an activity of the Woman's Com- mittee.

In Maverick county, after four days work, the Woman's Committee alone took the county "over the top." There are 253 counties in the state. Some of these counties have no railroads, one or twc have not a post office, and at least one has not a single bank. In all the counties the women worked for the Loan, although many workers suffered grievous losses from the epidemic. Two Letters from a County Chairman LETTER FROM UPTON COUNTY, TEXAS, COUNTY CHAIRMAN, TO TEXAS STATE CHAIRMAN Letter No. 1. Mrs. Minnie Cunningham, Rankin, Texas, September 8, 1918. Galveston, Texas. Dear Mrs. Cunningham: Mrs. Mary Bell at your service. Am doing all I can in my small sphere to win the wai No, I don't feel it is "Hot and dusty" for I am a ranch woman, running sheep and cattle with the assistance of my boy and girl. So you see I am tempered to the heat, dust, and cold I herd sheep, run cattle, and incidentally now have undertaken to help run the Hun. Expect tc make as good success at that as I have in running other beasts. Live ten miles from town, but am also teaching a little music class in our only school in th< county. Despite the severe drought, we have had to endure, our little handful of people have come nobly up, and we will always be ready to do all that can be done. Just command me Respectfully, Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee 25 Letter No. 2. Rankin, Texas, October 14, 1918. Dear Mrs. Cunningham: Don't think the women are not doing all they can in this part of the world. We haven't any but true and tried workers. Some are out helping with sheep, driving the chuck wagon, and cooking for husbands. Some make cow hands, riding and working hard all day, throw their little roll of bedding off the chuck wagon, on the ground at night, and "Fall in" as the boys say. I see so much in every paper about how much the women are doing, but think the women out here work under more trying circumstances than they do most anywhere else. I wonder what some would do if they had to stay out, just two women, with two Mexican herders and a flock of sheep, and a herd of cattle to hold and care for four days and nights at a time, and 50 miles from any communication. You see we are not afraid of any kind of work, and if we women could get two Huns each, a good horse and saddle, and a good gun, the men could go on about their business, and we would at least make him work till he wouldn't be able to kill babies. Yours for service, Utah Mrs. W. Mont Ferry, 164 E. South Temple Street, Salt Lake City, State Chairman Mrs. Emaline B. Wells, State Vice-Chairman STATE QUOTA— Fourth Liberty Loan 319,821,850 Amount credited to Woman's Committee 6,307,000 Percentage credited to Woman's Committee 31% Number of subscriptions through Woman's Committee 31,846 State conference of men and women held in Salt Lake City. Gleanings from thi Campaign: A Woman's Bank was a special feature of the campaign in Salt Lake City. It was of the portable variety, and was erected during the night, upon a prominent business corner, being placed directly upon the pavement. The building was painted white, with a broad porch in front, and a large sign on top to designate its purpose. The building was donated for the cam- paign, no expense being incurred by the Committee. Each day a special entertainment was featured upon the porch, and after a crowd had been attracted, a strong appeal was made by one of the four minute men. This "Bungalow Bank" helped materially to swell the totals of the women's committee, and was one of the most popular features of the campaign. The National League for Woman's Service conducted a vigorous and intelligent campaign. At the State Fair, which was held in Salt Lake City during the drive, this league did especially good work. Not only were many Bonds sold at that time, but an educational campaign was conducted among the rural visitors which resulted in much good later. The Women's Clubs committee also conducted a state campaign. Women's Clubs con- tributed three times the amount subscribed for the Third Loan — the women of the labor organ- izations making a special effort and conducting a booth at the Labor Temple. Many women's organizations reported one hundred per cent returns. The churches in the state did splendid work; a rivalry between denominations developed which brought in amazing returns.

Number of subscriptions through Woman's Committee 6,332 State Conference held in St. Albans. Gleanings from the Campaign: Each county worked out special features for advertising the Loan. In Rutland an original idea was the Liberty Cars. Touring cars were named for the famous generals of the Allied Armies. These cars ran competition sales and caused a great deal of enthusiasm besides selling a large number of Bonds. Special attention was paid to the schools and the work done there was not only patriotic but educational in teaching thrift and investment. Although there was a thoroughly organized speakers' campaign, with good speakers ap- pointed for the different localities most of the rallies had to be cancelled because of the influenza. 26 Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee Virginia Mrs. John L. Hagan, 254 Jefferson Street, Danville, State Chairman STATE QUOTA— Fourth Liberty Loan 363,980,000 Amount raised through Woman's Committee 21,224,900 Percentage raised through Woman's Committee 33 J% Number of subscriptions through Woman's Committee 55,442 State conference held in Lynchburg. Gleanings from the Campaign: Almost all special features had to be dispensed with on account of the influenza epidemic. In almost every county and town, meetings were forbidden as well as house-to-house canvass. Business was suspended and nursing the sick, or burying the dead became the chief occupation. The situation as far as our campaign was concerned could hardly have appeared more desperate. Chairman begged and pleaded for an extension of time to carry out their quotas on time. It was often necessary to do this entirely by phone in spite of a demoralized service, but they went to it and made a great fight. A great number of people in outlying counties invested for the first time, and this class particularly were reached by the women. Washington Mrs. Overton G. Ellis, 811 North G.

The Central Committee wrote a letter to each person in the county and assigned him an amount and asked him to call at the bank and buy that amount on a certain day. No solicitation was done in these counties and they more than raised their quotas. The women assisted in all these counties in the public- ity and every means of promoting the interest in Liberty Bonds. One device used by a successful war worker in a little Pacific Beach community was that of sending a card each week to everyone in her precinct who had not bought a Bond. She reported that it finally did the work. Owing to the varying geographical conditions in many parts of the state making travel extremely difficult — the vast distances, the sparsely settled counties — the varying industries, running the gamut of logging, mining, farming, fishing, and canning as well as those pertaining to more cosmopolitan life, such as manufacturing, shipbuilding, milling, etc., no set plans for publicity could be made. But to these different communities were sent out speakers and litera- ture adapted to their various conditions. Mrs. Josephine Preston, State Superintendent of Schools, reports that in the eighth grade schools every fifth child was a Bond purchaser. TheStateFederationof Colored Women reports 335,500 subscribed through this organization. "The Children's Parade" familiarly known as the "Kid's Parade" was the unique feature of city campaigns. This parade originated entirely in their play and developed into a big publi- city event. The broad streets of the big sprawling western towns high above Puget Sound held a stream of moving children for hours. Street cars were stopped, motors stood in long lines, and mothers and fathers leaned from shop and office windows while the bands of minature Red Cross Nurses, companies of khaki clad Indian lads from the Cushman Indian School, black boys and girls from the African Methodist Church, Boy Scouts, little Miss Liberty, Uncle Sam, the Army, "Little Mother and her Child" carrying the inevitable suggestion of overseas "Little Mothers", two children of a Lieutenant at the front carrying a "Bond House" with "Our Daddy's in France and we Buy Liberty Bonds", marched and marched through the long afternoon for the Stars and Stripes. Aproximately eight thousand "Minute Women" served in the Fourth Campaign. These women are organized for all war work and during the Liberty Loan Campaigns are at the service of the State Chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. In Tacoma this organization made two house-to-house canvasses through the residence district, one distributing circulars and propaganda, and the second time following up, when they sold 3135,175 worth of Bonds. Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee 27 At the beginning of the campaign in Tacoma a Liberty Loan dinner dance was given by the Woman's Publicity Committee. During the dinner while the dancers were on the floor, a fusillade of shots was heard, then a squad of soldiers with fixed bayonets surrounded the dance floor ordering the dancers to cease A speaker arose at one of the tables and referred to this invasion as something that might easily have occured on any occasion by our enemies if this country had not taken such immediate steps to protect itself and urged the buying of Bonds to prevent the possibility of such happenings and to support the splendid men who had already gone to defend us. After another address by a woman speaker, girls passed subscription blanks taking in 332,352 in subscriptions. Pre-campaign work was done by the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee through exhibits at the State Fair. A booth was maintained, posters were displayed, and members of the Com- mittee presided each day, answering questions and giving out literature. The State Federation of Women's Clubs invested all available funds in Liberty Bonds and many clubs throughout the state followed their example. Women's organizations were all appealed to, and in many cases, bought Bonds. In Tacoma a committee of women worked every day in "Victory Hall" securing subscrip- tions for 3187,200 worth of Bonds, the majority of which were of 350 denomination. ff^est Virginia Mrs. Geo.

Wheeling leading with 3100,000. After the first week of the Loan no public meetings were held, which necessitated large subscriptions by corporations and banks for which women's committees received no credit. The Women's Committees in most instances took charge of the emergency hospitals of the counties, nursed the sick and looked after the stricken homes generally. In Ohio County the men and women divided the house-to-house canvass equally and split evenly big corporation subscriptions. This was an ideal arrangement and deserves special mention as a model County Organization composed of two entirely separate organizations working together. It is interesting to note that in this equal division, the women exceeded the men's portion in the District by 3377,400. After covering their territory so thoroughly, they procured, in addition, approximately 3100,000 in the Sacrifice Club on from six to eight hours notice. fV is cons in Mrs. John W.

State conference for counties in the Seventh District was called jointly by men and women and were attended by both organizations. Conference held in Milwaukee. 28 Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee Gleanings from the Campaign: It is estimated that there are 10,000 women enlisted for Liberty Loan work in the state. A special responsibility of the publicity committee in each county was the reaching of farmer's wives with information about the campaign, and their responsibilities to their Govern- ment. In Milwaukee County, a special decorated street car, one side of which was devoted to a huge sign for the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, was used on the streets of the city during the campaign and excited much interest.

Cary, State Superintendent of Schools, to all superintendents, principals and teachers in Wisconsin, was sent with one from the State Chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, urging co-operation of the schools in the campaign and presenting the plans for a contest in the schools in foiur-minute speeches and posters, for which a diploma was issued by the Seventh Federal Reserve District Woman's Liberty Loan Committee to be awarded to the high school, graded school, private or parochial school, winning first place. As there were many requests for diplomas for class and individual school contests, the Wiscon- sin Woman's Liberty Loan Committee issued another, smaller diploma for this purpose and a very large number was awarded. A Woman's Speaking Bureau was established in each county; especial attention being paid to talks in moving picture houses. In Richland County the Woman's Committee con- ducted the speaking campaign for both the men and the women. Community and chorus singing were arranged for in every county. The Wisconsin editors gave the Woman's Committee work three times the space devoted to it in the previous campaign. In Brown County a circular letter was sent to all teachers in the County suggesting that the week before Liberty Day be devoted to the study of the Allied Nations, and that it be known as Allies Week, the countries to be studied in the order of their entrance into the war: Monday, Belgium and Serbia; Tuesday, France; Wednesday, Great Britain; Thursday, Italy; Friday, United States. Topics to be studied in connection with each country were as follows: 1. Date of entrance into war and reasons. 4. Famous leaders. 2. Military record. 5. Uniform, Flag, etc. 3. What part played and how affected. 6. Method of subscribing War Loans. The National League for Woman's Service secured subscriptions for 3633,450 worth of Liberty Bonds. 1,300 cities and townships in the state are organized by the Woman's Committee. Wyoming Mrs. T. S. Taliaferro, 106 Cedar Street, Rock Springs, State Chairman STATE QUOTA— Fourth Liberty Loan $1,911,S^ Amount raised by Woman's Committee 3,204,000 Percentage raised by Woman's Committee 40% Gleanings from the Campaign: Upon the man chairman of the city of Green River going to war, the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee chairman, Mrs. Chris Weachter, was left with entire charge of the Liberty Loan work. With a quota of 350,000 and a population of 1500, the women raised 3129,000 Natrona County, Mrs. C. E. Winter, chairman, leads the other counties of the state. With a quota of 3753,250 the women raised 3667,450 with 2304 subscriptions, of which 1500 were 350 Bonds and 800 were 3100 Bonds. The method of reaching agricultural population was by chairmen taking their own auto- mobiles and spending days going from one place to another, often fifty and sixty miles apart. In many rural districts, women not owning cars went on horseback. One woman told of long, lonely rides through the mountains to sell Bonds. Another rode 66 miles on horseback to get subscriptions from seven families. Another woman wrote that she had been deserted by her German husband who left her with a farm and five children to care for. She took care of the family and farm alone, and as soon as she harvested her crops, she took her horse and visited all families within reach getting subscriptions for the Loan. The University of Wyoming subscribed 350,000 through the Woman's Committee, through the President of the Board of Trustees, Mrs. E. T. David. Recommendations from Wyoming Chairman: "That fewer speakers be sent to large cities and more speakers be sent to isolated towns of two and three hundred population. The little town of Pinedale, which I have in mind, in Fremont County, is 105 miles from the railroad and people there are eager to hear speakers, and would come from miles around to attend a meeting. The truth is that the speakers themselves want large audiences, whereas, the time spent in country districts would give better results." Another suggestion; "To make all women who have helped in the Fourth Loan feel it their duty to continue this war work as long as the Government needs their work, even though the armistice has been signed." Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee 29 PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION National Woman s Liberty Loan Committee Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign In accordance with the action of the Executive Committee, all printing for the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee in the fourth campaign was done in Chicago, because of its facilities for prompt and adequate service and because of its excellent location as a distributing center. Mrs. Bass and Mrs. Fairbank were authorized by the Treasury Department to open headquarters in Chicago to carry on this work. An office was opened on August 5th, with neces- sary clerical help, and continued until the close of the campaign on October 19th. As the printing for a division of the Treasury Department carried on away from Washington was a new departure, it was necessary to comply with certain definite instructions from the Treasury Department as to the actual conduct of the work. Circulars asking for bids on each item to be printed were sent to the best printing firms in the city. These bids were then acted upon by the Committee, and the contract awarded on the basis of price, quality of stock, known capacity of the plant, and ability to make deliveries promptly. The three companies among which the contracts were distributed rendered excellent service. Questionnaires asking for estimates of the quantities of the various pieces of material it was proposed to issue were sent to each State and Federal Reserve Chairman, together with a letter explaining the plan of distribution. In those instances where there was delay in sending in the questionnaires or where for some reason they were not returned at all, it was necessary for the committee to make up the estimate. A new method of distribution was adopted for the Fourth Loan; an original shipment of each item was made directly to State Chairmen, and a reserve supply placed with the Federal Reserve Chairmen to cover additional requirements of the State Chairmen during the campaign. In this way the rush orders of the State Chairmen were handled more promptly and efficiently than by the old method of maintaining a general distribution headquarters for the whole country. An arrangement was made with the printing firms, whereby they performed all the work of wrapping, packing and shipping the material printed by them, thus obviating the necessity of distribution headquarters. A list of the quantities of each item to be shipped the State Chairmen was sent the contracting firms, and from this they made out the government bills of lading which were duly OK'd by the representative of the Office of Collector of Customs and certificates of delivery issued by him. The use of a "Record of Shipment" blank, furnished a check on the shipments made each day by the various printing firms, and also on the receipt of each shipment by the State Chair- men. A table has been compiled from the returned blanks showing the length of time required for the various shipments to the forty-eight states and to Alaska. All the general Liberty Loan advertising and publicity material issued by the National Publicity Bureau was sent direct to the twelve Federal Reserve District Liberty Loan Committees. The Executive Cornmittees in the various districts were notified by Mr. Wilson, Director of the Publicity Bureau in the Treasury Department, Washington, to "instruct their subordinate committees to make a liberal supply of all literature and other material requested by women Liberty Loan Committees." Mr. Wilson also suggested that he believed it would be "advantage- ous to assign certain items of publicity material upon which the women might specialize in their distribution, wherever practicable." Where full co-operation existed between the man and woman State Chairmen, it was possible for the latter to turn over her list of county and district chairrnen to the men's committee, who would simply send out all advertising and publicity material to the women at the same time that it was sent to the men's organization. This appears to be the most satisfactory arrangement which has been adopted and will be recommended for general adoption in the Fifth Loan. In accordance with the policy of the National Committee to co-operate with the War Industries Board and save paper and labor, one form of letterhead only was issued, which did not carry any special office designation, and therefore was suitable for general use, and franked post cards were sent out to Chairmen with instructions to use them for short communications. A "Certificate of Appointment" signed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and by Mrs. Bass, as Secretary of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, was issued to State Chairmen to send their county and district chairmen. In addition little "credential cards" were printed for the use of all local chairmen to serve as a means of identification in their work. A "Record of Subscription" blank was issued, which was designed to serve both as a receipt from the local men's committee for the subscriptions turned in daily by the woman's committee, and also as a record for the women's work. Three sets of cards, a different form for State, City and County Chairmen, were sent out for use in reporting subscriptions taken by Women's Committees. These report blanks were printed on franked post cards, and arranged so that each week of the drive might be reported separately, with a minimum of work to reporting chairmen. 30 Report of National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee Only three pieces of literature were issued for the Fourth campaign — the Information Folder, the "First Service Star" folder, and the Report of the Third Loan. The Central Liberty Loan Committee (men's) of the Eighth Federal Reserve District asked for ten thousand copies of the Information Folder, compiled by Mrs. Fairbank and Mrs. Bass, for distribution through their organization. The little folder called the "First Service Star" was originally printed in the Seventh Federal Reserve District in the Third Campaign, where it was used most effectively. As in previous campaigns, the Report of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee was compiled by Mrs. Fairbank. The thanks of the National Committee are due to the Liberty Loan Committee of the Seventh Federal Reserve district, under the personal direction of Mr. Merritt, for their assistance in securing offices for this work, the loaning of all necessary items of equipment, and the use of their office facilities. Miss Dixon, Federal Reserve Chairman for Women, was also of great service to this work of the National Committee. Material Issued and Number of Shipments by National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee Total quantity of material shipped 9,216,470 Individual Shipments: Envelopes — three sizes — 83 shipments of each 332 Letterheads 87 Labels 87 Post-cards 87 Weekly Report Cards — County 67 Weekly Report Cards— City 67 Weekly Report Cards— State 49 Certificates of Appointment ♦ 50 First Service Star folder — 2 deliveries to list 122 Identification Cards 61 Record of Subscription Blanks 61 Report of Third Loan 1,987 Information Folders 70 Arm Bands 51 Total number of individual shipments 3,178 National Conference of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee On July 16th, 17th, and 18th, 1918, the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee called a conference of all Federal Reserve and State Chairmen, to discuss the problems of the Fourth Loan. Eleven Federal Reserve Chairmen and ii State Chairmen, or their representatives, attended this conference. It was in session for three days; the fullest discussion prevailed, and the varied problems of Chairmen from widely separated states were brought before it. The attendance was large, as many Vice Chairmen and Publicity Chairmen came on their own initiative. We Beg Your Pardon! Washington: The amount of money credited to the Woman's Committee in the Report of the Third Loan was incorrectly given as 31,182,000. The amount raised by this committee in the Third Loan was 32,474,300. First Federal Reserve District: The Third Report omitted to state the fact that in New England the Woman's Committee took no corporation subscriptions. Maine: The Third Report made a mistake on quota. Woman's percentage should be 10% instead of 16% as credited. Wyoming: Woman's Committee for Third Loan in Wyoming reached 32,314,500. (Was cred- ited with 32,230,650.) Ohio: In Third Campaign Cincinnati's subscriptions were 20% not 11% of quota. In Cincinnati and Cleveland house-to-house canvassing was carried on by men and women but not so stated in report. Georgia: Third Report gave Georgia 311,679,530. It should have been 38,452,650.

(IV) LETTER OF APPRECIATION BY THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL WOMAN'S LIBERTY LOAN COM- MITTEE AT THE CLOSE OF ITS WORK. Office of the Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, July 9, 1919. As the close of the work of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee approaches I desire to express to you as a member of that committee the Treasury's deep and sincere appreciation of its invalu- able service to the Nation and the Government's program of war finance. You assisted in immeasurable degree in mobilizing the wom- anhood of the United States and in helping the mothers, wives, and sisters of the heroic sons of America who went to France for the sake of the liberty of their country and of mankind to understand the purposes of the war and the needs of the Government to prosecute it to a successful conclusion. The organization which the committee perfected was a splendid tribute to its intelligent leadership, and the Treasury is very proud of the results achieved both in arousing the sentiment of the people and in subscriptions to the securities of the Government. No words of mine will adequately compensate for tasks so well and unselfishly performed, but in the years to come it will be a comforting satisfaction to you always to reahze that you served your country with devotion and patriotism in the greatest crisis of her history and contributed your share in no small measure to the success of the war. It is my privilege and honor to extend to the members of the com- mittee and its entire organization the sincere congratulations and grateful thanks of the Treasury. With assurances of my best wishes and high regard, I am. Sincerely, yours. Carter Glass. (V) THE NATIONAL WOMAN'S LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE, By Hon. W. G. McAdoo. [Taken from tlie report of the Secretary of the Treasury for the year 1918.] One of the most notable factors in the success of the Liberty loans lias been the work of the women of the United States. It was with the belief that the women of the Nation would constitute a powerful moral force in war finance that the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee was appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury in May, 1917. That they, working through the organization effected by this agency, have not only accompHshed this purpose, but have also be- come an essential element in the actual labors of promoting the loans, constitutes one of the most interesting chapters in the financing of the war. There is probably no war service in which so many women have taken more active part than in the raising of money to pa}^ our war burden. To their energy, their enthusiasm, their zeal, and their vision is due a great part of the success of the Liberty loans. When the United States went into war with Germany the business of bond selling was a field so new to women that all work within it has been genuine pioneering. The organization of women for the task has been the work of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Com- mittee, which has served in cooperation with the Treasury's war-loan organization. The members of this committee, serving as volunteers, have performed the work of enlisting more than a half million women as sellers of Liberty bonds. The first labors of the members of the committee, after the closing of the first Liberty loan where their work had been general publicity of war finance among women, were concerned with the adjustment of established organizations of women throughout the country to the established machinery for the raising of the loans. Where organiza- tion existed, the women of the Nation were organized by States, while the Treasury's loan organization was based upon the 12 fiscal divisions of the United States. It was the problem of the com- mittee to correlate the two schemes of organization. They solved it by the appointment of both State and Federal reserve chairmen, the former responsible for actual organization of women in their respec- tive States, the latter serving as the representatives of the women in dealing with the Liberty loan committees of the respective Federal reserve districts. Liberty loan committees elected the women Fed- eral reserve chairmen members of their executive committees. In this organization during the second Liberty loan 60,000 women became sellers of bonds. Reports of the women State chairmen, and (VI) vn of the executive committees of the Federal reserve districts, indicate that the woman's organization obtained subscriptions for $1,000,000,000 of the second loan. In the third loan 500,000 women were enrolled as members of the organization, which had a woman chairman in almost every county of the United States, and township officers in almost every township. In the third loan the women were again credited with having been the seUing agents of more than a billion doUars in bonds. In the fourth loan between seven and eight hundred thousand women served, but it is not possible at this time to make an estimate of the amount of bond sales attributable to the woman's organization. I No mere recital of results achieved can show the extent of the serv- ice which women have given to the Nation through their partici- pation in war finance. That hundreds of thousands of women assumed the burden of a new kind of labor, not for themselves but for their country, is one of the most striking and characteristic facts in relation to the women of America that the war has developed. The Liberty loans have afforded a new proving ground where the women of the Nation have accepted the opportunity to demonstrate again their patriotism, their abihty, their consciousness of the obhgations of [. citizenship, and their steadfastness of soul in the great and terrible crisis which our country has met. WHAT AMERICAN WOMEN HAVE DONE FOR THE LIBERTY LOANS. The women of America have demonstrated extraordinary power and capacity in connection with the financial operations of the Gov- ernment. Their work has been of the highest value. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee has brought into existence an organization of women throughout the country which is one of the most important factors in the success of Liberty loans. I am deeply grateful for the splendid support American women have given to the Treasury and to aU war activities. The increasing demands of the war will make their work more and more important. Their continued enthusiastic and spirited cooperation strengthens my confidence in the success of the Treasury's future financial under- takings. (Signed) W. G. McAdoo, fThe above letter appeared in the Pictorial Review for November, 1918.] REPORT OF THE NATIONAL WOMAN'S LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE FOR THE VICTORY LOAN CAMPAIGN. This last report issued by the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee for the Victory Loan Campaign differs from previous reports where space was given to material which might be valuable- for use in a forthcoming campaign. As there is now no longer any value in detail that may be inspirational to future work, the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee has endeavored, in this report, to suggest as briefly as possible the field covered by women in the loan campaigns, and the success which has crowned their efforts. The victory loan had an especial appeal for women, and possibly for that reason the campaign was conducted with a finer spirit and with more enthusiasm than that of any previous loans. Women, necessarily noncombatants in the great struggle for freedom, were animated, even more than men, by thanksgiving that the war and its attendant sacrifices were over. No effort seemed too great in selling the bond issue which was to ''finish the job." It is the history of the woman's organization for the Victory loan, In State after State, that practically all the chairmen serving in the fourth loan reenlisted eagerly for service in the fifth, and that the amount of money subscribed thi-ough the women's committee was often greater in the fifth than in the fourth, in spite of the decreased quotas. More than a million women were members of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee organization in the United States in the fourth and fifth campaigns. When the war began many of these women knew nothing whatever of investments of any kind. To-day they have not only succeeded in selling over one-fourth of the second, third, fourth, and fifth loans, but they have been an important factor in the education for thrift, which has been a by-product of the bond sales. Owing to educational campaigns conducted by the woman's committee, saving, in order to invest for the future, has become a part of the calculations of the conscientious American housewife. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee realizes that the phenomenal success which has crowned the work of women in Treasury service is due in a great measiu^e to those who will never receive the credit due them. In this report an endeavor has been made to point out the personal sacrifices of the local chairman all over 1 2 the country, but it is not possible to do this adequately in so brief a statement. It is, however, not only because of the self-sacrifice and devotion, the patriotism, and the passionate will to serve, on the part of the members of the complicated and wide-flung women's organiza- tion, that we are able to make the statement in this final report that the woman's Liberty loan organization has made a significant contribution to the wanning of the war; it is also because they were given a great opportunity that they won a commensurate success. It was through the vision and the faith in the capacity of women of the honorable the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. William Gibbs McAdoo, that the opportunity to do so large a piece of work was given to the women of the United States. In the beginning of the war Secretary McAdoo called the mem- bers of his National Woman's Committee to Washington and gave them full powers to act. Rooms in the Treasury Building were put at their disposal ; franking privileges in the mails and in the telegraph companies were given to them for the use of their whole organization; they were instructed to make their own budget, on which an appro- priation, necessary to the expenses of their work, was granted them. No committee of men or women enlisted in war service could have been invested with greater authority and independence, and the members of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee will always retain a feeling of gratitude and appreciation of the privilege which was theirs in being allowed to work on a committee, which, for the first time in the history of the United States, adequately recog- nized the ability of women, and entrusted them with great responsi- bilities. It is interesting to note that practically every report from State chairmen serving in the Liberty Loan Committee organization states the fact that in the fifth campaign the men's committee called upon the women to undertake a larger part of the responsibility of the campaign, and gave them generous cooperation, and sometimes too generous an appreciation, for the work that they had done. This was not the situation in the second or third campaigns; at that time the tendency of the men's committee was to underestimate the ability of women, and to protest the fact that they had been authorized to work independently for the sale of Liberty bonds, and, again, had it not been for the constant support of the Secretary of the Treasury, the woman's committee might, in the various Federal reserve districts, have been seriously handicapped by the men's committees. It was only through his powerful protection that the women were enabled to continue their work until they had convinced the men in the loan organizations a^l over the country that they had not only a right to continue in the field but also that it would have been impossible for the men to have sold the quota alone. '• At the end of the last loan the members of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, thoroughly familiar as they were with the local situations between the two committees in every reserve bank district, feel assiu^ed that one result of the association of the past two years is an increased appreciation on the part of both men and women of the other's work, an inclination to join forces rather than to work for the same goal in separate camps, and a readiness to- gether to answer the call for patriotic service in the future, should the occasion arise. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, in closing this statement accompanying its final report, wishes to offer its most sincere gratitude and appreciation to the honorable the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Carter H. Glass. He has continued the policy adopted toward the woman's conmiittee since its inception, and his support of and trust in its policies has been a stimulating and de- lightful thing to those who have come in touch with it. It has been a great pleasure and privilege to work under his leadership, and it is a keen regret to the members of the national committee that the time has come when their services are no longer required by him. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee also takes this opportunity of expressing its deep appreciation of the courteous assistance rendered to th3 women of its organization by the governors of the Federal reserve banks, and by tha chairmen of ths various local men's committees. Finally the members of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Conunittee wish to express a deep and affec- tionate appreciation of the work of the members of the woman's Liberty loan organization, whose struggles they have appreciated, whose self-sacrifice they have admired, and in whose success they have rejoiced. The 12 Woman's Liberty Loan Committee chairmen of the Federal reserve districts, who rendered faithful service as , liaison officers between the men's and women's committees, the I 48 State chairmen and the chairman of the District of Columbia, whose devotion and zeal never faltered even where organization was perfected and when quotas were passed, the county and township chairmen, surmounting rural problems of wide difetances and bad roads, and the city chairmen, driving through tangles of municipal complications, each deserve an especial appreciation. To those members of the national committee who have been most closely in touch with the Liberty loan work, the bond established is too strong a one to be broken by mere dissolving of a committee. Through close association with these loyal women of the United States has come a greater belief in the patriotism of the American people, and an abiding faith in the United States of America. — J. A.

(Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut.) Mrs. F. L. HiGGiNSON, 95 Milk Street, Boston, Mass., Wonmn's Liberty Loan Com- mittee Federal Reserve Chairman. Owing to illness in her family, the Federal reserve chairman was imable to visit each State in her district as she had in other cam- paigns, but the first district is small in territory and the inspirational value of the reserve chairman's office in Boston was great. There were no reserve district conferences; State conferences were held in Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Mrs. Antoinette Funk attended these conferences, representing the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. No State conferences were held in Connecticut or Maine. The New England States reported a larger percentage of the quota raised in the fifth loan than in any previous loan. Following is a comparative summary of subscriptions taken through the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee in the five loans. Comparative summary of subscriptions through wom^n^s .committee in five loans.

Mrs. McNeel attended these conferences. Mrs. Jacobs and Mrs. Fairbank also attended, representing the national committee. The executive committee of the sixth Federal reserve district advised that the men and women work on a 50-50 basis, and in some counties this was done, but the Alabama woman's committee kept the accurate account requested by the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. Committee meetings were held by the woman's committee, and especial attention was given to publicity, the newspapers of the State giving splendid inspiration. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. It is impossible for the city chairman of Birmingham to give a separate report. No quota was made for Birmingham or any other Alabama city separate fe*om its county. As well as could be esti- mated on a percentage basis, between city and county chairmen of Birmingham and Jefferson County, Mrs. Ledbetter, the city chairman, raised $2,208,500, and Mrs. Conrad H. Ohme, county chairman, raised $1,291,500. In the county of Jefferson, where Birmingham is located, the men and women worked on a 50-50 basis. A house-to-house canvass was conducted by the woman's committee. Record of woman's committee for State in all loans.

The copper mining com- panies took practically no share of this loan. Many of the mines were closed down and all operating had greatly reduced prices. In previous campaigns these corporations were generous subscribers and thou- sands of mining employees bought to a man. Realizing this unfavor- able condition, the woman's committee directed its energies in every county to strengthening the weakest places, looking after the smaller and out-of-the-way places where often the men's conmiittee effected no organization whatever. Women also paid particular attention to propaganda work with a view to keeping up interest and enthusiasm, and to their pamstaking, unceasing work is due, in large amount, the "success of the Victory loans in Arizona. A conference for county chairmen of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee held in Phoenix was attended by Mrs. George Bass, rep- resenting the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee^ and Mrs. A. S. Baldwin, Federal reserve chairman for womeu. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Goldroad, Mohave County, with a population of eight adults and a quota of $2,000, reported $4,350 bonds sold. Grand Canyon, in Coconino County, with less than 300 population, subscribed $14,750. This was one of the places where men worked under the woman's committee. In Globe, Gila County, a group of young women calling themselves Victory girls got up a unique vaudeville performance which was given 15 in a decorated truck on the street, at which they sold bonds and auctioned off hebnets. In Florence, Pinal County, out of a total subscription of $44,400, the women raised $42,700, the quota for the town being $35,626. ELEVENTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT. Mrs. William H.

There was a large attendance of women chairmen, many of them having driven miles across the country to be present. Gen. 'Traub, commander of the Thirty-fifth Division, made a splendid patriotic talk. Late in the afternoon the meeting was divided and Mrs. Brough held a meeting of the women, and went carefully over the plans of the campaign and all details. 16 GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. In the southern half of Arkansas County the men had no organiza- tion, so the Federal reserve bank gave the credit of all the work done to the women's organization.

GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. The chairman of Kio Blanco Coxmty aroused her town to fever heat with an unusual stunt. The night before the drive opened she arose in the dark to scatter footprints, made from cardboard, over the town. These steps were directed toward the bank and were painted bright red. Added to this, she put up signs urging -everyone to ''hit the trail" and, when morning came, they did as advised and the district was one of the first in the State to report one-half their quota raised. The largest subscription in that county was taken by a woman. Bent Coxmty reported her quota raised by ''hard work and per- suasion." A Logan Coxmty woman walked 10 miles to procxire one $50 subscription. In Moffat Coxmty, a coxmty of vast mileage, the women conducted "ranch-to-ranch soliciting." There were many difficidties to confront, but the Lake County women were not daimted because there was a complete walkout of all of the miners, upon whom they were depending to buy bonds. They started their drive April 21, as planned. Later a compromise 19 was ejffected with the miners, but through it all the women con- tinued their work and, the men now say, broke the ice for them, and, besides breaking the ice, the women took $77,350 in subscriptions, and sold to 305 out of the 990 subscribers in the county. It was the pleasure of the State chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee to christen the 14,200-pound baby tank. Little Jeb, while en route through the State.

Though an unnaturalized citizen, he enlisted, crossed the seas to fight for ''America, the grandest country in the world," and invested all his earnings, a thousand dollars, in Liberty bonds. A kind fate led him safely through the conflict and returned him to his old father, who awaited him here. At the time of the fifth loan, a member of the woman's committee, encountering him tilling his cabbage, asked him to speak for the loan. ''I speak? But, yes, I do any- thing to help my country." He was scheduled to speak at a town 15 miles from his home. Through some mishap he missed his train, walked the 15 miles, made his sim- ple, direct appeal to the people, finishing the job by announcing he had invested his latest earnings, a sum of $500 in Victory bonds. The town where this meeting was held oversubscribed its quota by $25,000." — From State chairman's report. CITIES. Wilmington, Mrs. Otho Nowland, City chairman. City quota.

The publicity was directed to launch a heavy press attack beginning three weeks before the drive and keeping it up throughout the campaign. Suggestions for pageants, fairs, church-school-farm bureau meetings were pubhshed through the State papers. In several counties the men were busy getting in crops and turned the entire campaign over to the woman's committee. American prosperity pageants were conducted by the woman's committee in several counties. Floats were prepared showing the difference between America and the devastated parts of France and Belgium. In rural districts the women serving on loan committees took turns serving a day a week, in caring for the other women's babies, which were collected together, thus freeing their mothers.

On March 21, the county chairmen, men and women of the seventh Federal reserve district, met in Chicago and were addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Mrs. George Bass and Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank spoke at the conference, representing the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. In the afternoon State meetings of the men and women chairmen were held, and attended by Mrs. Bass and Mrs. Fairbank, and Miss Dixon, Federal reserve chairman for women. On March 22, a meeting of the Illinois Woman's Liberty Loan Committee county chairmen was held to discuss the work, followed by a luncheon, at which several distinguished men and women, many of them recently returned from overseas, spoke. Mrs. Antoinette Funk spoke at various meetings during the campaign. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Many communities in Illinois were organized down to the block unit by the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee preparatory to an educational house-to-house canvass before the opening of the Victory loan campaign. Thirty thousand dodgers by Helen Bagg were dis- tributed by the women of the State organization, besides the Htera- ture sent out from the national committee headquarters in the Treasury. Ten thousand copies of a farmer's bulletin and 8,000 copies of an investment letter prepared in this office; 3,000 copies of the Presi- dent's Liberty loan message; 2,200 letters to Council of Defense units; 700 letters to Red Cross auxiliaries; 60,000 investment leaflets, using woman's poster cut (10,000 of these were distributed in central Illinois by aeroplanes) ; 20,000 leaflets announcing school contest for 27 German helmets; 1,000 leaflets (reprint), ''Finish the Bridge''; 1,000 leaflets (reprint), ''Finish the Job"; 800 letters to women's clubs; 1,800 copies questionnaire; 1,800 reprints, "Change Your Attitude on the Next Loan." An Easter telegram was sent by the State chairman to reach all chairmen early Easter morning. This seemed to have struck a responsive note, and many chairmen reported that copies of it were read from every pulpit in many cities, the contents being taken as the text of the day's sermon. An appeal to the college women of the State was written by Mrs. Howard T. Willson, State chairman, in which Secretary Glass's statement, "It takes a higher type of patriotism to serve the country to-day than it required in the deUrium of war," was quoted. Glen EUyn, a town of 2,500 population, was the first town to go over the top in the seventh district. The quota was $80,000, and voluntary subscriptions amounting to $90,000 were raised on the Sunday before the drive began. The women alone did this work, working in relays from 4.30 a. m. Saturday. "Lest We Forget," a one-act play written by Helen Bagg, of Chi- cago, was presented in every county in the State in the seventh district. Pageants prepared by the foreign language division of the woman's committee were features of the loan campaign through- out the various counties. Hancock County. — Women handled all pubMcity and pubHc meet- ings. Winnebago County. — Women in many country districts did aU of loan work. Sangamon County.— Womsin^s committee gave, very successfully, I trench breakfast; secured two splendid speakers — returned soldiers. A verse and essay contest was conducted through the publicity department to arouse interest in the loan. The prize in the verse contest was awarded to Miss Jane Young, of Yorkville, who sub- mitted the following: The First one took them over, The Second helped them fight, The Third kept home fires burning. The Fourth put Huns to flight. Those Victory boys are homesick, ' Your Buddy and your Jack; Come, put the Fifth one over And bring them safely back. La Salle County. — Women organized schools. Children sold $395,500. One child alone sold $150,000. Women reported only what they sold or bought. 28 In closing this report I wish to say that the Americanization work in connectioE with bond selling is a splendid step toward real naturalization and has brought aboui material results in aiding our Nation and in helping these alien-born to understand more fully what it is to be American, — Extract from State report.

They were also given a percentage of all other trades. Some of these trades comprised booths in hotels and res- taurants, booths in theaters, booths in bank buildings, booths in railroad stations, street booths (last week of loan), all of which were handled entirely by the woman's committee, and miscellaneous subscriptions which were credited to their respective trade division. The work of the women's clubs, public and private schools, were also handled entirely by the woman's committee. The ward and district work, including a house-to-house canvass, was handled by the woman's committee in conjunction with the men's committee.

One of the outstanding features of the Victory Liberty loan in Chicago was the forum and theater on Michigan Avenue. Daily performances were given, the vaudeville and theatrical numbers being in charge of a special service squad, which was made up of young women who gave their entire time to this work. The Chicago campaign opened with a breakfast at the Hotel La Salle at 7 o'clock on the morning of April 21. Two hundred and fifty women working on the trades committee were present, and after a Liberty loan rally marched with a band through the retail district of Chicago, for which the woman's committee had entire responsibility. A Victory cake containing medals made from German cannon was cut by a naval officer. The organizations receiving the medals counted them as mascots. From the beginning of the drive the woman's organization of Chicago and Cook County worked with the men. During the last week all restrictions were removed, and the women workers were permitted to take subscriptions wherever possible. The quota for the Twenty-first Ward of Chicago was $4,500,000, but at the first meeting of the ward organization they volunteered to raise their quota to $5,000,000. It is believed that this makes the ward record of the country, but as it has proved impossible to get complete information from other cities, actual proof is lacking. Easter Sunday afternoon the workers of the Twenty-first Ward marched up the Lake Shore Drive in a parade from the Chicago River to the Lincohi statute in Lincoln Park, where a negro chorus sang, and speeches were made by Mr. Harold F. McCormick, ward chair- man of the men's committee, Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, and ex-Gov. Bumquist of Minnesota.

In the remain- ing 14 counties notes were sold by general sohcitation, and $3,282,400 was subscribed through the woman's committee. The conference of men and women county chairmen in the eighth district was held at Evansville on April 14. It was attended by Mrs. Theodore Benoist, Federal reserve chairman for women. After the business meeting adjourned there was a mass meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce where speeches were made by the heads of the central committee, and also by other prominent Indiana men and women. Mrs. Antoinette Funk spoke in Indiana during the campaign, representing the national committee. The quota for the Victory loan for the counties in Indiana in the eighth district was 25 per cent less than in the fourth loan. In spite of this the woman's organization raised $1,600,000 more than in the fourth loan, thus increasing its per cent of the quota. 32 GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. An intensive house-to-house canvass was conducted throughout the counties in this district, distributing literature and selling notes. Knox County raised its quota in one day for the last three drives. Scott and Spencer Counties also raised their quota on the first day in the fifth campaign. In several of the Indiana counties, the quotas were taken over by the banks, but the women of their own initiative resold the notes to individual subscribers. CITIES. EvANSViLLE (Mrs. A. M.

In accordance with the plans made by the executive committee of the Seventh Federal Reserve Liberty Loan Campaign Committee the women were given credit for 50 per cent of all subscriptions where the allotment plan was used. A joint conference of men and women was held in Chicago, March 21, of the entire seventh Federal reserve committee, and also a 33 joint meeting of the Iowa conunittee in the ballroom of the La Salle Hotel. At the close of this Session the State chairman called the women together, and a short, spirited conference was held to formu- late plans for the approaching campaign. Between 80 and 90 women were present. Mrs. George Bass represented the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. * * * On the whole, we are proud of Iowa's record in all the loans and can not praise the women too much, who worked throughout the two years faithfully, intelli- gently, and untiringly, and only regretted that they could not go out and sell bonds, as they did in so many of the States, and make a real selling record. However, they did put on a splendid educational program, which was necessary in order to keep patriotism alive to counteract what resentment might natui;^lly develop from the coercion incident to the allotment plan. This they did nobly. — State Chairman for Women. A committee of women speakers accompanied the war special train as it toured Iowa. The work of the Americanization committee proved so successful, as evidenced by many letters and reports which reached the State office, that it is evident the foundation has been laid for future work and that this is a rich field for women's activities — the making of Americans out of our immigrant women and children. Where the voluntary plan was used women assisted the men at all the selling, precincts, usually being in equal numbers. * * * The work of women under the volunteer plan was difficult on account of its indefiniteness, since in every case the women were instructed to do every possible sort of educational work but to hold themselves ready after that was done to work on short notice. This drew them in the various counties into the most diverse sorts of undertakings. They did everything, carrying their share of the selling efforts, making the complete card indices, doing clerical work, furnishing speakers for all gatherings of any sort, finding transportation for men speakers in some cases, inter- viewing special cases, and generally making themselves useful. Through all this diversity of activity, sometimes of inactivity, they mostly kept sweet, and they have learned much about organization and putting over community campaigns. —i^ieZdf Director for Women. The little play ''Lest We Forgjef was put on in nearly every county, not once but many times, often in every township, and gave splendid satisfaction. Two helmets were awarded by the woman's committee in every county for the best four-minute talk or the best essay by a school child on ''Why We Should Buy Victory Bonds." In one county alone 1,000 essays were written, and the final award was made to the best two in the county. 34 CITIES. Cedar Rapids (Kate Terry Loomis, City chairman).

The last two loans were subscribed in one day under the direction of the War Service League, an organization of men and women that has conducted other money-raising war campaigns during the past year. Besides the executive committee, each of the 15 voting precincts in the city has a permanent organization of 15 men and 15 women who are equally active and responsible for the work of their precinct.

Mrs. Antoinette Funk spoke in Kansas during the campaign, representing the national committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Letter to men's State chairman from man chairman, Thomas County, Kansas : * * * The campaign has been conducted entirely on voluntary subscriptions. We have used no solicitors at all. It was the publicity at the start and throughout the campaign that sold the bonds. The woman's section of the Liberty loan committee had charge of the publicity. No one can take credit for selling all the bonds, but it seems to me that, due to the fact that the women have had charge of the publicity and that it was through this means that the bonds were sold in Thomas County, they should have credit for this county's quota. I therefore suggest that in the report in this matter that the women of Thomas Countj'^ be given the entire credit for the sales of bonds in the Victory Liberty loan campaign. CITIES. TOPEKA.

CHty quota, Victory loan $1, 643, 100 Amount subscribed through woman's committee $700,000 Percentage subscribed through woman's committee 42 While the closing of the war brought a general reluctance on the part of those who took part in the Liberty loan committee to enter into the work again, at the approach of the time set for the Victory loan, patriotism, which had been lulled for a while , awoke and the women all over the State threw themselves with renewed zeal into the effort for placing the last of our war loans. Strong educational campaigns were put on throughout the State, which were man- aged almost entirely by the woman's committee, and in a few of the counties they also did much of the solicitation. A percentage basis of report had been agreed upon between the men's and women's committees before the opening of the loan, which it was endeavored to have represent the result of the women's work, and varied in the counties from 10 to 100 per cent. One outstanding feature of this loan was the speaking done by returned soldiers, organized into bands by the women, which, in some districts, greatly influenced the result of the campaign, as subscriptions at the banks noticeably increased the days following the meetings at whicli the soldiers spoke. Excepting the fact of the oversubscription in the State, there has been nothing more gratifying than the harmony with which the men's and women's committees have cooperated. The women lay down this work feeling that it has truly been a privilege to be allowed to do our share in financing the great World War.^State Chairman, Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. 36 Record of woman's committee in State for all loans.

Miss Mary Synon represented the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee at this meeting. Mrs. Antoinette Funk, of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, addressed a mass meeting in Louisville shortly before the campaign opened. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Three counties in the eighth Federal reserve district of Kentucky subscribed their full quotas on the first day of the Victory Liberty loan through the e^orts of the women's local committees. Community singing was utilized by the women of Kentucky for the Victory loan, and several counties sent but song leaders to small towns and county schoolhouses to spur interest in the campaign. 37 ' CITIES.

They were, in a sense, gleaners in the field, adopting a follow-up system that proved unexpectedly fortunate. There was no uniform plan agreed upon as to the percentage offered by the men's committee to the women in recognition of their work. It was a go-as-you-please campaign, with individual methods in each county, but with excellent team work and harmony, and in most instances, full credit being given where it was due.

It was attended by Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin, Federal reserve chairman for women, and Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, representing the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee.

The woman's committee sold no bonds to corporations; the only trades they canvassed were dressmakers, nurses, milliners, and doctors. They had a complete ward organization.

GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. As the men's and women's organizations throughout the State were so completely coordinated that they worked entirely as a joint committee, it is not possible to give a detailed account of the separate and special work of the women. It is a joy to re- port that the women planned their work with the men, doing those things which they were logically or individually best qualified to do in their respective commimi- ties. In Detroit the woman's committee had charge of the sales at the Liberty Forum down-town booths, shared in work of the schools and theaters. — Extract from State Report. Mrs. Caroline C. Brink, vice chairman of all previous loans, retained her same position for the Victory loan and took under her supervi- sion twenty-three counties in western Michigan, with an organizer working directly under her. All State conferences were joint conferences of the men's and women's organizations and were presided over jointly by the direc- tor of sales for Michigan and the State chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. With very few exceptions this policy prevailed in the counties also. In all counties, whether upon the volunteer or subscription plan, the women were credited with 50 per cent of the sales, except in Detroit, where their sales amounted to $27,743,900, about 33J per cent of the total amount. Twenty-four nationalities were reached by the woman's foreign- language division through night schools, public pageantries, and distribution of literature. The woman's publicity department operated from State head- quarters, sending out daily to county chairmen inspirational letters and type matter to be used in the county papers. Michigan used the allotment volunteer plan entirely, with the ex- ception of four counties; therefore an educational campaign with pub- licity features preceded the opening of the official one. The schools, as usual, did their full share, except where the Easter vacation inter- fered, by staging contests in essays and speaking. The little playlet, "Lest We Forget," was put on so many times and in so many places that it is not possible to be accurate in this report, but conserva- tively estimated about 300 times. Special mention should be made of the women who acted as dis- 1 trict organizers, for much of the success of the campaign is due to their intelligent and untiring devotion and effort. Toward the end of the campaign these women were sent into the backward counties, and the testimony of the men brings the inspiring confirmation of the fact that the women saved the day. In one county the woman organizer unaided by any man organizer pushed the county over 45 at the last minute. In another, one who as a speaker is equaled by- few so inspired the entire committee that they requested the county chairmen of the woman's organization to try to sell bonds where men had failed, and she did it with almost 100 per cent result.

In Detroit a conspicuous appeal was made through the coopera- tion of the recreation commission, which presented a symbolic pageant and beautiful tableaux in which the foreigfi born partici- pated. This was staged at Detroit's Liberty Forum, in the open m Cadillac Square, with the usual city crowd of thousands massed back of the ropes as spectators. The city of Detroit subscribed its quota the first day of the Victory loan, but Mrs. G. E. Allen, State chairman, telegraphed the national committee that her organization was working as hard as if the quota had not been reached and would not cease from work until every man and woman had a chance to subscribe for bonds.

It was attended by Mrs. C. A. Severance, Federal reserve chairman for women. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. One township in Michigan was entirely let alone by t}).e men in each campaign, so that the women organized and carried on. In many counties every woman bought a bond. All material was distributed immediately upon its receipt, and an intensive educational campaign carried on. Record of woman's committee in whole State for all loans.

In many places the people went to the voting booths and voluntarily gave their subscriptions. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Mrs. Archibald MacLaren, State chairman, zoned the State for the woman's organization and held county conferences that brought her in touch with every county chairman in the State before the loan, making it possible to overcome the great distances in Minnesota. ''Keep the Loan Fires Burning" was the slogan adopted for the Victory Liberty loan by the women of the Minneapolis Federal reserve district, of which Mrs. C. A. Severance is chairman. Mrs. 47 4 Severance went into every State in the district and, with the State chairman, attended zone conferences of the counties, declaring that while men might appeal to the commercial spirit, women would appeal to the patriotic spirit of the citizens of the district in cam- paigning for the loan. Two weeks before the loan opened the woman's organization had been perfected, although because of snow and bad roads the difficulties had been great. Some of the women had to travel by ox team to do their campaigning. Several Indian women on the many reservations of the district were interested in the loan, and many of the reservations averaged a $40-per-capita subscription. Throughout the country districts the women have organized speakers and publicity bureaus; have tried in many counties to reach every farmer's home through a house-to-house information campaign, and have had the children taught in the schools the value of the loan to every true American. Many large and enthusiastic meetings have been held, often attended by both men and women. Sometimes speakers were sent from our central speakers' bureau, but mofe often the local women took entire charge of the program, accomplishing wonderful results and a full attendance in spite of heavy spring rains and muddy roads which rendered motor cars almost useless. Mrs. Antoinette Funk spoke in Minnesota during the campaign, representing the national committee. CITIES. St. Paul (Mrs. H. A. S. Ives, City chairman).

In the remain- ing 35 counties notes were sold by general solicitation. On April 28 a joint meeting of the women and men of Mississippi and Tennessee was held at Memphis. GLEANINGS FKOM THE CAMPAIGN. In Washington County, the home of the State chairman, the men turned over the entire campaign to the women, and they alone man- aged the campaign.

In one 50 county the women sold 80 per cent and in another 75 per cent, but in nearly all the counties the men allowed the women a percentage over their actual sales for the work they did in advertising, publicity, distribution of literature, clerical work, etc., work which all led up to the sale of notes. On April 10 the Missouri meeting of men and women county chairmen was held in St. Louis. This was a large meeting, and most enthusiastic. It was attended by Mrs. Solon Jacobs, representing the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, and Mrs. Theodore Benoist, Federal reserve chairman for women. Mr. Compton, of the eighth Federal reserve district organization announced in his address that if there was any doubt about the men being able to put the eighth district over in the Victory loan, not to be downhearted, as he was quite sure that the women could do it without any assist- ance from the men. Mrs. Antoinette Funk spoke in Missouri during the campaign, representing the national committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. An inspirational telegram from Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, chairman of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, to the women workers of Missouri, was read to a nieeting of 1,500 St. Louis women, who unanimously made a pledge to put the loan over the top in that city. There are instances where the women worked in the fields in the daytime and sold bonds at night. One Missouri saleswoman doing volunteer work was over 80 years old. CITIES. St. Louis (Mrs. John R.

The woman's committee was credited with 50 per cent of the total sales. The farmers were busy preparing their lands for new crops, and, while the early summer crops promised well, they were still subject to the hazard of uncertain weather conditions. The business men and factory workers were harassed by the shortage of labor and the urgent necessity to put the war and all that pertained to it behind them as quickly as possible. The State chairman found it necessary to pursue with unswerving perseverance a policy of reanimation and reeducation to the necessities of the hour.

The State chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee reports that the women of Montana really raised 33 per cent of the State quota, but grace- fully took the 25 per cent allotted them. At a conference of county chairmen of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee held in Helena, Mont., at which Mrs. McDowell presided, Mrs. C. A. Severance, Federal reserve chairman for women, spoke. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. The woman's committee made a wide campaign for publicity, traveling long distances to hold meetings in scattered schoolhouses. The chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee for Butte and Silver Bow Counties reports that in an intensive three-day drive, in which the Butte quota of $3,000,000 was oversubscribed, at one of her booths, $1,152,550 worth of Victory notes were sold. 52 *' Victory is not earned until it is paid for" was the slogan which the woman's bond-selling organization of Montana used in the Victory loan. The great distances and the lack of transportation through various parts of the State made the work of some of the women particularly difficult. Record of woman's committee in State for all loans.

In some counties the women did practically all of the work in selling the notes. The weather was very inclement, and the roads almost impassable when the campaign was on. In some parts of the State the workers were obliged to use the mail service almost exclusively, as telegraph and telephone wires were down for days at a time. In every county where it was possible a house-to-house survey was made by women workers, and has been reported to have helped greatly in many cases. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. In Keyapaha County the county chairman of the woman's com- mittee lives at the county seat, which is 25 miles from a railroad. The county has but 3,700 population, and more than 200 of the men of that number were in service during the war. The women at home backed the men at all times, even to going into the fields and taking care of the crops, doing heavy manual labor such as they had never done before. The woman county chairman canvassed the entire county thoroughly, often on foot. The War Camp Community Service furnished to the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee of Omaha a *' flying squadron" of singers who traveled on trucks to various meetings in that city for the Victory loan. Sioux County has but one town, situated in the extreme northwest corner and much nearer to settlements in South Dakota and Wyo- 53 ming than to settlements in the county itself. The chairman of the woman's committee of that county, residing in the town, had to drive 35 miles through the Bad Lands to reach a point 10 miles distant where she was holding a loan meeting. Mary Ellen Kourke, 2 years old, of Omaha, sold her father a Victory loan note, establishing a record for juvenility in bond sales- manship that has not yet been challenged. The women of Gage County own $232,000 worth of Liberty bonds, although there is hardly a woman in the county who might have been set down before the war as ''economically independent." CITIES.

The woman's com- mittee also had charge of the booths in hotels and restaurants and department stores. The high-school pupils were asked to help in the final canvass, securing $3,000 worth of subscriptions. School children distributed literature through the homes, teachers acting as captains; 500,000 pieces were distributed. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Two thousand women marched in the Victory parade in Omaha, preceding a theater meeting for the loan and beginning the drive for that city. In Omaha the women canvassers for the Victory loan used the ward, precinct, and block system with military rank for the sub- committee chairmen. A flying squad of ''privates" emulated Paul Revere and spread the immediate messages of the loan during the drive from house to house.. The National League of Woman's Service, Omaha branch, reopened the Liberty Bank on the courthouse square, where only voluntary subscriptions were received. Mrs. William Archibald Smith and Mrs. Milton Barlow, joint chairmen, together with their corps of workers, sold 451 bonds, totaling $298,950.

In the final week of the campaign, in response to an appeal of the Secretary of the Treasury, a special effort was made to secure sub- scriptions. A poster was issued, reading ''Women of New Hampshire, Dare You Break Faith with Those Who Die in Flanders Fields?'' Tills was displayed in street cars, windows, public buildings, etc., and many bond sales were directly traceable to it. The campaign was marked throughout the State by many public meetings and exhibitions of that specially arranged film, ''The Price of Peace." Campaign programs were prepared by each town to meet local conditions. During none of the four previous loans have so many public meetings been held throughout the State. The State chairman attended and spoke at many of these rallies. Record of woman's committee in State for all loans.

A conference of women county chairmen was held at Newark. It was attended by Mrs. John T. Pratt, Federal reserve chairman for women, and Mrs. Antoinette Funk and Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, rep- resenting the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. The activities of the women workers did not vary greatly from those of former loans. They consisted largely in general propaganda, house-to-house canvassing, patient revisiting of possible subscribers, and untiring willingness persistently to pursue small subscriptions, care of headquarters, arrangements for meetings, and arousing the interest of children in the schools. The closing down of many ship- yards and munition plants and of numerous other war industries in New Jersey, and the restlessness among a large part of our foreign- born population, made it impossible to sell the same number of small bonds as in the fourth loan. The large number reported, therefore, becomes a testimony to the faithfulness and efficiency of the workers. In one town, it was found that on the last day the quota had not been reached, and the women then recanvassed the town, selling many bonds at the post office and the railroad station, and at the end of the day that town had gone over the top. Through the efforts, of Miss Frances Helen Kelly, of Jersey City, subscriptions to the Victory loan in the sum of $755,601 were secured. Miss Kelly rode the good horse ''Thrift" all over the State, dressed in military uniform, and participated in various drives for war funds during a period of eight months, securing through her efforts $3,105,- 210 in all. 57 CITIES.

In the remaining coimties notes were sold by general soHcitation. On February 19 a conference of women county chairmen was held at Albuquerque. Mrs. Antoinette Funk attended, representing the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Because the spirit of patriotism had waned to some extent, and the people did not see the necessity of this loan as they had the others, it made it harder to get them to work. This after-the-war spirit, coupled with the financial conditions brought on by the hardest winter ever experienced in this State, made the work of raising this last loan vastly harder than ever before. We had suffered a three-year drought, and then this winter the severe and continued snows made every cattle and sheep man lose heavily, and many went broke. All are running on borrowed money. In the previous loans many people had bought, and to do so had sacrificed to the point of actual want, and this time they did not see the necessity of going that far. In this State a great part of those who buy bonds borrow money at 12 per cent to pay for them, so it is not a question of a good investment, but is an act of pure patriotism. — Excerpt from State chairman's report. The State chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee visited every county in New Mexico. In Chaves County the women took over the campaign for one week, and at the close they had been so successful that the men turned the entire campaign over to them, and the women put the county over the top. Two of the county chairmen in counties that are thinly settled reported that they could not secure enough women to make a canvass, so had appointed some men, and the State chairman was very glad to have them, and to send them each a medal. 59 Two counties deserve mention. In Valencia County the women sold more than enough bonds to cover the quota, and in Quay County they sold ahnost enough to put the county over. The men in Quay Coimty did not do any soliciting, but assisted the women in the campaign. TENTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT. Mrs. Wilson, Chairman. State quota, Victory loan $700, 000 Amount credited to woman 's committee $324, 968 Percentage credited to woman's committee * 46 On February 15 a Liberty loan conference of men and women work- ers was held in Santa Fe. The conference profited by an inspira- tional address given by Mrs. Antoinette Funk, vice chairman of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. New Mexico had a problem almost peculiarly its own in its number of Spanish-speaking citizens to be interested in the loans, and it was largely due to the work of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee in printing and distributing loan pamphlets in Spanish that these thou- sands of bond buyers were interested. The ^* Price of Peace" films were shown in the principal towns in the 10 counties and the tanks stopped at Las Vegas, Clayton, and Santa Fe. Great demonstrations were prepared for their reception. Special recognition should be given for the splendid results accom- plished in Mora and San Juan Coimties. Mrs. Charles K,. Keyes, the new chairman of West Mora County, sold 214 per cent of the quota assigned to the county. This is the highest percentage of sales reported for any county in the tenth district.

The State quota for the Victory loan was almost 50 per cent less than in the fourth campaign. In spite of this the woman's com- mittee raised within $100,000 of the same amount raised in the fourth loan, thus increasing their quota. 60 NEW YORK. Mrs. John T.

More than 200 women responded to the first call from the Woman's Speakers' Bureau in New York State. Nearly all of them had seen service overseas. Under the direction of the bureau they took up a course of study to acquaint them with facts pertaining to the loan, the sentiments to which appeal might be made, and the best methods by which their experiences might be told to sway their audiences. In the group of speakers were five professors of household economics; Corpl. Katherine Baker, lawyer and magazine writer, who had been head night nurse to the Red Cross unit attached to the One hundred and thirty-seventh Regiment of the French Army, and one of the few women in the United States who has the distinction of being permitted to wear the citation cord; Miss Ruth Morgan, head of the Red Cross in Paris; Miss Grace Bissell, who was in the hospital back of the lines at Chateau Thierry; Miss Genevieve Cowles, a camouflage artist; Miss M. Chave CoUison, a young AustraHan recruiting oflBicer; Miss Beatrice Frankfort, operator at the Army telephone exchange at Tours; Miss Katherine Stinson; Miss Fannie Hurst; Mrs. Vincent Astor; and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, jr. During the campaign Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Antoinette Funk, and Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank spoke at various meetings in and near New York. Out of 72 counties of New York, which had 1,861 local committees and over 35,000 women workers, only five women county chairmen resigned in the Victory Liberty loan. CITIES.

The New York City publicity department of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee evolved the plan of asking the chairmen to form Victory loan camera clubs to take kodak pictures of himian interest for newspaper features. The department also started a community- house endowment of the Victory loan notes. One hundred and fifty thousand women of the women's clubs of Greater New York organized a working unit for the Victory loan, establishing headquarters in the Hotal Astor. Three hundred and seventy-nine clubs were represented, 333 of them affiliated with the State Federation of Women's Clubs. It was expected that they would raise 100 per cent of their quota. They raised, in fact, the largest percentage of quota in the New York district, securing over $13,000,000 on a quota of $450,000. Among those who talked to the crowds through the long-distance telephone arrangement from Washington were Mrs. Carter Glass, Mrs. Newton D. Baker, Mrs. Larz Anderson, and Miss Clara D. Noyes, chairman of the nursing-service bureau of the Red Cross. One doughnut, fried on the steps of the New York Subtreasury by Irene and Gladys Mclntyre, the famous Salvation Army sisters, sold $25,000 worth of Victory bonds.

A county chairman went into a farmhouse in one of the western counties, with small hopes of selling a bond. She played with the baby, admired the crops, and began to tell them just why they should buy bonds. When she had talked herself breathless, the old grandmother said, ''Hold on a minute, Miss. How much did you say I could pay down on a bond of $250?" When she told her, the old woman said, "Pa, go bring the pill box out of the trunk." Pa did so. The old lady paid the initial payment on $250 in dimes out of the pill box, and said she would pay cash as soon as she could "get to town." The money she had was the savings of a life- time, from her little girlhood to her old womanhood. — Extract from report. Record of woman's committee in State for all loans.

GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. The women took a prominent part in the Victory parades in most of the cities. Meetings were held in the rural districts, with good speakers and leaders of community singing furnishing programs. Much interest was aroused by the work the woman's committee did through the schools, as a result of which the children wrote essays and poems and made artistic posters to boost the bond sale. Many Indian women have bought bonds liberally. On an Indian reservation the women averaged $40 per capita.

Mrs. Frank Mulhauser, Federal reserve chairman for women, attended all con- ferences. Mrs. Antoinette Funk spoke in the State during the campaign, representing the national committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. As you will see * * * in some cases the women sold half the quota. In one township where the women had keen competition from the men, the workers through- out the first week reported $35,000 in one day, where the men worked six days in a free field, their average sales being $20,000. Another case where the women were making a fine record, the men requested that they be taken out of the field for a given time, in order that they could make a better showing. I quote these two in- stances; there are many others of the same character, which would be too lengthy to relate. — Extract from report. In the Cincinnati area 20 out of 25 districts the woman's com- mittee did house-to-house solicitation. In the remaining five (which include the business district) they did clerical and special work. In this area the result of the fifth campaign has been an increase of 50 per cent for the woman's committee over the fourth campaign. CITIES. Cincinnati (Mrs. Jerome H. Sturm, City chairman).

GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Although the woman's committee of Cincinnati went over the top with the city on the tenth day of the loan, with 8,706 subscribers, there was no faltering on the part of the women workers, as the final record shows 18,989 subscribers to their credit.

GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. At the end of each day the woman selling the greatest amount of bonds was given a ''flight" in the aeroplane ''Honeymoon Express," which created much rivalry during the campaign.

The counties were organized in a systematic way by their patriotic chairmen, and the work was soon accomplished. In the greater part of the State the campaign was carried on as in the former campaigns, each county being given its quota, and, in turn, each district its quota, and all responded as quickly as during the active war period. No report was made when the quota was taken by the banks; in that case the women worked in every way possible, but actually sold no bonds and no credit was taken for the work done.

In Durant, Okla., was a woman whose boy enlisted in the service. She volunteered to the chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Com- mittee to aid in raising the town's quota of loans. Later, when the news came of her son's death in action, she worked early and late, for besides selling bonds she picked cotton and raised a hog to buy two Liberty bonds.

Mrs. Baldwin attended it, representing the national committee. In Oregon nothing has so developed the capacity of women as the part they have taken in the Liberty loan drives. This is especially so of a large group of women who never before had taken part in any organized effort for any cause or any public work. They have been given an insight into the conduct of the financing of the Government^ and above all, there has been developed in them a sense of responsibility toward matters which up to this time had been entirely foreign to them. — Extract from State chairman's report. GLEANINGS FEOM THE CAMPAIGN. The woman's committee began their speaking campaign early in April. It was thoroughly organized and carried out with great success. An evening meeting was arranged at nearly every school building throughout the city. An attractive program was arranged, the community was invited through the school children of each district, and a returned soldier and a civilian speaker addressed each , group. From 100 to 500 people attended each meeting. Besides these evening meetings, afternoon meetings were arranged for the parent-teachers' associations. Every woman's organization in the city of any size was addressed by a Liberty loan speaker. Arrange- ments were made with the granges throughout the State to give time on their April programs for a speaker on bonds. About 200 meetings were thus arranged, and approximately 50,000 people reached in this way. At the beginning of the campaign the publicity bureau of the men's organization was put at the disposal of the woman's com- mittee, and throughout the campaign they could not have asked for better publicity than was given their work. They had a publicity chairman and each day sent to press headquarters, both city and State, whatever they had to give out for the day. When occasion demanded, the woman's committee was given part of the great display ads which were a feature of the men's publicity work. In summing up I should say that it is the best campaign we have had a part in. There were no handicaps; nothing that we felt made our work less efficient. It increased what has been growing since the women of Oregon began work of this nature ; that is, the respect that the men have come to have for women's work, their realization of the need for cooperation, their willingness to let women share work of this kind, and the feeling they have that a movement of this kind is benefited by the cooperation of the work of men and women. The greatest result, of course, from work of this kind is the effect on the women themselves, their greater sense of responsibility, their greater knowledge of financial affairs, and their broader outlook. — Extract from report of State chairman. CITIES. Portland (Mrs. C. E. Curry, City chairman). City quota. Victory loan $14, 786, 325 Amount subscribed through woman's committee $7, 850, 000 Percentage subscribed through woman's committee 53 71 In Portland every effort was made to have the woman^s organiza- tion in such shape that it would be ready for whatever arose. The wisdom of this was fully proven by later developments. To the 2,000 workers of the Fourth loan publicity matter concerning the new loan, the need of their services, and an appeal for their coopera- tion were sent out together with a return postal card in the form of a questionnaire. From these return pledges for service were made card catalogues, arranged both alphabetically and by precincts. Thus was the woman^s committee ready either to supply hundreds of women workers for the use of the men's organization or put an organized force into the field themselves if separate districts were assigned to them. In this city where more than half of the State subscriptions are raised, the men's organization had been allowed to lapse after the fourth loan. It was not until 10 days before the opening of the campaign drive that they began to form their plans. Three days before the opening of the drive, the woman's committee were asked to take over the entire management of 260 precincts out of the entire 300 in the city, including many industrial plants and business houses. Even putting into motion so large an organization on such short notice seemed a tremendous task. A house-to-house canvass was made, including such industrial plans and business concerns as were included in our territory. Not only did we cover the entire territory assigned to us, but brought in almost double the amount in subscrip- tions which we had been asked to secure from the territory given us. To the woman's committee feU 50 per cent of the total subscriptions taken in the city. Record of woman's committee for State in all loans.

The men's committee retained the industrial and mercantile divisions entirely, but in the 72 last three or four days the counties were abnost solely dependent upon the women. The men in only one county offered the women a percentage; that was 50 per cent. In one or two other counties a portion of certain industrials was given to the women. Mrs. Miller says in regard to the women workers of her State (there were 100,000 working in the Victory loan) : ^'The women of Pennsyl- vania have shown a steady development both in organization and in the technique of bond selling through the four loans in which they have been actively engaged in Pennsylvania. Their appreciation, in almost every county, of the value of publicity and of closely coordi- nated teamwork has been remarkable. I would feel that it would not be overestimating the condition to say that they have fm*nished nine-tenths of the publicity for the loans in which they have taken an active part. Practically every county in the State has had a large women's parade during the coiu*se of the loan. They have held innumerable meetings, with both men and women speakers, and in many townships and boroughs they have had entire handling of the loan, the men's conrmiittee turning over the responsibility and power to them.'^ Mrs. Funk and Mrs. Fairbank spoke in Pennsylvania during the campaign, representing the national committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. We have remarkable totals for the Victory loan, better than any previous cam- paign — in fact the women secured every individual subscription turned in. Every township was organized with strong teams of 10 or more women for an actual house-to- house and farm-to-farm canvass. No one escaped the women solicitors ; as many as eight trips were made to one home before one solicitor "caught" a certain man. Our organization was perfect, all town- ship chairmen sending in perfect report cards and solicitor's papers. We used a house-to-house record report for every township, each solicitor having a definite territory. I am inclosing one of the solicitor's reports to show you how perfectly they were kept. We also had a team of bank solicitors for every bank in the county. These women worked in relays — from 9 to 3 every day during the loan — and had a decorated booth in each bank. This committee did splendid work, catching the people who refused to subscribe from the house-to-house solicitor. So many people say "I will subscribe at the bank, ' ' not caring to make arrangements or payments to a solicitor. We actually secured every subscription except the Pennsylvania Railroad employees, a few miners, and the men employed at the paper mill and tannery. There was no chance of getting the Pennsylvania Railroad men — their slips were handled by the company, which was also the case with the paper mill and tannery— the companies buying the bonds for the men and deducting so much from their wages every pay day. You will see by the inclosed table the remarkable totals that were secured by the woman's committee. Mr. Quigley in making a final report to the Federal reserve in Philadelphia wrote them that Clinton County's Victory loan was raised by the woman's committee. Mr. Quigley had to be in Harrisburg three or four days a week, 80 the burden of the whole campaign actually fell on me. 73 The county honor flags will be raised with fitting celebrations on July 4 as part of the day's activities in honor of our returning heroes. The German helmets of both committees will be awarded the same day — every subscriber's name has been dropped into a barrel, and on the Fourth drawings for the 28 winners will be held.— Excerpts from letter from Clinton County chairman.

The city was divided into districts. For several weeks prior to the opening of the campaign joint meetings of the men's and women's committees were held to plan methods of promoting the success of the loan. As a result of these conferences it was decided that the men's and women's committees should occupy joint headquarters throughout the city, that a Liberty statue should be erected in each district, to be used as the main booth of the woman's commit- tee. Meetings were held here with speakers, singers, and naval and military features. The main booth had a colossal Victory statue, and every day between 12 and 2 the streets before it were roped off and traffic diverted, so that the space could be used for the daily meetings. Opening-day exercise were held in each district, the women chairman being chosen to unveil the statute in each instance. In the central city district, one of the greatest successes was called ''Camac Street, the Biggest Little Street in the World," which covered two squares. This was under the direction of the artists, with Mrs. Charles E. Wood representing the central city district. The committee was assisted by well-known poster artists, etchers, and portrait painters, who did posters, portraits, and etchings, which were sold by auction to the highest bidder, the proceeds going for bonds. Portrait painters volunteered to paint a portrait of anyone buying a Victory bond for $10,000 and up. In the evening, dinners were served in the different art clubs, followed by theatrical perform- ances in the street. Continuous bond selling prevailed. The pubhc schools were very active; the child who sold the largest number of bonds in each school was given a German helmet.

The woman's committee made a replica of a front-line trench in the downtown section, with dugouts manned by eight war activities. They also sent out a Victory truck every day during the campaign. It held a Victory concert and ball, with Metropolitan opera singers, and local talent for entertainment. Receipts from that night, $4,000,000.

In several counties where there was no man chairman the women put on the drive and raised their county's quota without the assistance of the men's com- mittee .—Extract from report.

Population of State, 1,592,000; percentage of colored people, 55.2. 78 GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Booths were conducted by women in all towns that were large enough to warrant them. Organization in the Victory loan consisted of the State chairman, an executive committee, 7 congressional district chairmen, 46 county chairmen, township and school district chairmen in each county. In the cities, ward chairmen for every ward, with captains and lieutenant for every block. Each county chairman had a publicity chairman, and in most cases the same women who had done the publicity work in previous campaigns kept this oflB.ce, and supplied State headquarters with clippings and news of the activities in their counties. Many ex- cellent features were put on. The woman's committee distributed posters and literature and in fact did most of the publicity work throughout the State. House-to-house canvassing was done entirely by the women and they made a special effort personally to reach each individual. . ^'The barrage is down — let's drive" was the slogan adopted by the women's Liberty loan for the Victory loan as a result of a children's prize slogan contest. The women held a gold star memorial service on the last day of the Victory loan drive by raising the Stars and Stripes, the State flag, and a gold star flag from the roof of the State capitol dome. Mme. Sohumann-Heink led the community chorus, singing the Star-Span- gled Banner as the flags were unfurled. In two of the counties no man chairman was appointed, and the women conducted the entire campaign. In several other counties the men's committee turned the campaign over to the women, who most successfully put the county over the top. Relationship with the men's committee was most cordial and cooperative. The men had learned the value of the woman's committee and were very glad to call upon us for assistance. The conditions in this State at the beginning of the drive were very discouraging. The price of cotton was low and cotton was being held. Many people were still paying for bonds of previous issues. In the rural districts the people were obliged to put all available cash into fertilizer, and they were borrowing from the banks besides. Many of the men of the State were very anxious to get back to normal, as they felt their business had suffered from the many calls upon their time during the war, and there was apathy and lack of interest among some of them. The dirge, "The Fifth Victory Loan Will Never Be Put Over," echoed and reechoed from one end of the State to the other. The women, however, set out with determined hearts, inspired by the spirit of thanksgiving that 100,000 of our brave boys' lives had been saved by the signing of the armistice, and realizing the fact that the money asked for by the Government was to bring the boys home and pay a just and honorable debt, they organized their forces with undaunted courage and pledged themselves gladly, cheerfully, and thankfully to see the Victory loan through. It is impossible to say that any one factor was responsible for the success of the woman's committee. Three elements, however, contributed largely. First, the untiring hard work and devoted patriotism of the women; second, the wonderful 79 cooperation and harmony in every branch of the organization; and third, the team- work and hearty good-fellowship that existed between the men and the women. — Extract from State report.

In Perkins County, which is in the newer part of the State, men and women drive 70 miles to come to a Liberty loan meeting. The sending of the tanks into this territory was an additional incentive to come to patriotic gatherings. In these newer parts of the country, the readiness with which homesteaders bought bonds was inspiring. Families whose homes had not even the barest comforts of life, invested. The State chairman reports that one family borrowed money at 10 per cent interest to buy. bonds in the third campaign. The chairman of the woman's committee teUs a story about one of her chairmen which characterizes the spirit of the Liberty loan workers in that State. The chairman of Harding County traveled 75 miles by motor in a rainstorm to go on to a meeting in Deadwood with the chairman of Meade County. There they were snowbound for three days; went back to Meade County and there had to wait three days more before she could go home again. The roads were in a terrible condition when she started, and it took her more than 17 hours to travel this distance, but she thought no hardship too great to carry the message of the Victory loan to the women of her county. A woman worker in Alexandria was so crippled by rheumatism that a personal canvass for the loan was impossible, so she devised the scheme of sending out Victory loan literature by placing the leaflets in egg cases. South Dakota is exceedingly prosperous, and the opportimities for safe investment at higher rates of interest than the Victory bonds paid are numerous, but, nevertheless, the people were very glad to subscribe and oversubscribe. In Gregory County every man, woman, and child committed to memory the ' 'American's Creed." The women on. the loan committee are, as a rule, sorry that their work is over, for we all have enjoyed it. I think you may count on us whenever again in the future the Government may have need for our services. I shall be very glad if the oppor- tunity arises for me to work again under the same leadership. — Excerpt from report. The woman chairman of Potter County got out a card for every person in her county with this inscription: Has your wife helped to save the money you are going to invest in Victory notes? Hasn't she said from time to time, "I will not buy this because we must save for Liberty hondsV Will you show your appreciation of this helpfulness by taking part of this allotment in her name? 81 Record of woman'' s committee in State for all loans.

"His picture in the paper'' was the incentive which inspired a small newsboy of Nashville, Tenn., to organize the newsboys of the State and buy bonds of the fourth Liberty loan. He was standing at the State publicity chairman's desk watching her write up the Sunday news and compile the photographs of prominent Liberty loan workers of the State. He said to the chairman, "If I buy a bond can I get my picture in?" She assured him that the purchase of a bond would produce the desired result, and suggested that he buy one on the installment plan. He rushed out of the office immediately, came back with $5 and a friend who also desired a kind word from the press. When the picture was published the small newsie became one of the most enthusiastic loan workers in Tennessee. He aided the woman's committee in organizing the newsboys of the State, who bought $200,000 worth of bonds, with no individual subscription over $100. 82; Owing to the impassable condition of the roads in Hawkins County during the campaign, the women made a house-to-house canvass on horseback. Their quota of $163,900 was raised. Loudon County subscribed her quota before the campaign started. On being asked by headquarters if they needed a tank or any pub- licity stunts, the woman's chairman replied ''We need nothing but two German helmets as trophies; the county is over." Their quota, which was $121,750, was oversubscribed by $14,000. The women of a rural district organized ''butter and egg day'' sale of bonds. They chose one day of each week during the drive, and pledged the profits, of that day's sales to the purchase of bonds. The State publicity chairman passed on the plan to all the counties in the division, and asked each Sunday school in the rural district to propagandize the method. In this way thousands of dollars were invested by the country women in the Victory loan. The women of Greene County, with their slogan, " Every housewife a bondholder," and their all-ladies minstrel show for a publicity feature of the loan, proved of invaluable assistance. The quota of this county was $234,750, and woman's Liberty loan subscriptions were $320,000. Afternoon and night performances of this minstrel were given in several districts of Greene County, selling bonds at each performance. EIGHTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT. Mrs. Phillips, Chairman.

Eight counties worked under general solicitation plan. On April 8 a joint meeting of the women and men county chairmen of Mississippi and Tennessee was held at Memphis. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Hardin County had only 12 women working under direction of Miss Gertrude Irwin, and raised 96 per cent of the quota. This county has no bridges and no railroads, and the Tennessee River divides the county. Five counties were carried by banks with no work for men or women, hence no report. Memphis and Shelby County women did all publicity features and turned town into carnival on streets for one week, until quota was reached. To show the spirit of enthusiasm manifested in Tennessee, we repeat the foUoVing incident: At a conference of county chairmen, Mrs. 83 Phillips was telling of one of her best workers, a county chairman, who had just received news that her son had been killed in battle, saying, of course, she could not ask her to take part in the campaign. Unknown to her this chairman was present, and while she was still speaking a little woman in black at the end of the hall stood up and said she would take part as she had always done; that if she did not do so she would not be loyal to the cause for which her son had died.

At a meeting of county chairmen and executive committee mem- bers held previous to the campaign, it was unanimously voted to divide the total returns between the two committees. No hard and fast regulations as to actual campaigning methods were recomimended to the coimty chairmen, it being thought best to leave them, as here- tofore, to work out their individual problems, since there seemed so great differences in local conditions to be met. The Federal reserve chairman for women, Mrs. A. S. Baldwin, paid Utah a visit prior to the opening of the campaign. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. The Mormon Church placed its entire subscription to the Victory Liberty loan through the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee in the State of Utah. The president of the church, in making the sub- scription, stated to Mrs. Ferry that the work of women in the war finance entitled them to the credit of the placing of the subscription. GLEANINGS PROM THE SALT LAKE CITY CAMPAIGN. The campaign opened with an air circus, three days prior to the oflB-cial opening date. A great feature was made of this; the atten- tion of the public was thus focused upon the drive at the beginning. The women had charge of the street activities, and opened proceed- ings with a vim. Billy Sunday was one of the attractions of the campaign, and the woman's committee took charge of the soliciting at his lecture. The Woman's Bungalow Bank, which had proved such a successful feature of former drives, was again used, the building being donated as before, and erected during the night previous to the campaign opening, upon a prominent business corner. Another street method was solicitation from trucks loaded with wounded soldiers, accom- panied by speakers and musicians, assisted by girls and women, who worked among the crowd. Twenty-two booths were maintained by the woman's committee in stores and on streets. Total results of booth committee, $483,450. The church committee maintained its former fine records, and was successful in having all denominational churches, large and small, represented; total, $191,100. The Latter-Day Saints women's organization suceeded in rolling up a total far in advance of any previous record. This committee alone had about 800 workers in the field; total, $352,250. The women's clubs committee, including the Catholic Women's League, also outdistanced all former records in this campaign, by bringing in a total of $139,150. The educa- tional committee was equaUy successful, turning in $132,850, which 85 . was considered a splendid result, as no effort was made in this cam- paign to use the school children for selling purposes.

In Clarendon there was no man chairman, and after the drive started the woman chairman was given the entire field. She raised several thousands over the quota. She had two men on her com- mittee; one sold $100 bond, the other about $2,000. The women raised $19,200. The feeling throughout the State has been much better in the fifth loan. I think the men generally admit that we are extremely useful. — Extract from report. Record of woman's committee for State in all loans.

A conference of county chairmen was held in Richmond on April 1. Miss Mary Synon attended, representing the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. During the campaign Mrs. Antoinette Funk, National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, visited the State and spoke at a meeting. The men's committee in Virginia have never endeavored to limit the woman's committee in the field of its endeavor. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. The woman's Victory loan committee of Appomattox County guaranteed to the Woman's National Liberty Loan Committee the subscription of Appomattox County quota, holding themselves responsible for the whole amount in case it was not othei*wise sub- scribed. Not politics but peanuts was an important issue at the Victory loan conference of the women county chairmen of Virginia. The peanut crop and the price of peanuts was a factor in the Victory loan^^ and the women chairmen of those counties where peanut production was the principal industry faced the problem of aiding the farmers toward a financial adjustment with the banks. I am glad to say that only in a few isolated instances did the women fail to receive hearty and enthusiastic cooperation from the bank committee, and those instances were more than offset by the cases in which the women practically carried on the campaign for both. — Extract from the report.

The minute woman organization of Washington was begun before the second Liberty loan. It included organized and unorganized women, and in its ranks were Chinese, Japanese, Negroes, and Indians. Through this organization literature in 22 languages was distributed . It consists of a State committee, which includes officers and auxiliary chairmen in charge of six districts. Each county has a county chairman and a minute woman organization. Each incorporated town has a minute woman captain for each ward. This ward cap- tain appoints a precinct lieutenant and the lieutenant appoints suffi- cient minute women to carry out a house-to-house canvass of the precinct. Eight thousand minute women served in the Victory loan campaign. The woman's committee organized the schools. The children sold bonds. A State conference of county chairmen of the woman's committee was held in Seattle March 28. On March 29 the men's conference was held, to which the women were invited. Mrs. Baldwin spoke in Washington during the campaign, repre- senting the national committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Nearly every county held county conferences, all following very closely the outline of the State conference, and all reporting them of great help. In the farming and agricultural districts the women used many different methods of reaching the settlers; one minute woman walked 8 miles in a district she could not reach by horse or car. Children's parades were held in many places and were reported tji© best ever held, getting more people out than any other one feature. At Snohomish <» woman chairman was in charge of the entire county. This was an honor in recognition of excellent work accom- plished in previous campaigns. 89 One of the most inspiring meetings held was in the I. W. W. country, among the loggers at Twin Rivers. The majority of the men, by their deep interest and enthusiastic applause, showed that they were glad to echo the sentiment of loyalty and triumph in the victory of the great national cause. Among these men I found an American who had served his two years with the King's Royal Rifles under Haig in Flanders. There seemed to be a general feeling of pessimism throughout the State, especially among the business men, before the loan started, many saying the entire amount would have to be taken by the banks. This spirit spured the women to more determined action, and never have they entered a campaign with so much energy and vim, with the result conditions were soon changed and the loan was put over beautifully, county chairmen, with few exceptions, reporting it the easiest and best of all. The reports show a closer cooperation between the men and women; an improved condition in the general attitude of the public toward bond bujdng, not a single case of coercion being reported and only one or two places experiencing the least difficulty whatever, most places going over in the first week and many the first day. A decided improvement in the attitude of the general public, and men especially, toward the value of woman's work; but even yet I do not believe the men fully acknowledge its value. It is hard to realize what it has meant for our women to go time after time into the homes of our citizens until a feeling of friendship and brotherhood has devel- oped that will be of inestimable value to the community in the future as well as the educational value to these people, many of them having learned that they could really be bondholders and have a vital interest in our Government; only future generations can tell the great value of the woman's work during this war. — Extract from State report.

The first week of the campaign the men's committee was given a clear field for soHcitation of the business district, the woman's committee did only the publicity and educational work this week; the second week they conducted the house-to-house canvass, and the third week the booths. They had speakers who covered the schools and women's organization, reaching 38,000 students and 10,000 women. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN.

When the women convened, 37 of the 49 counties , were then organized, the old chairmen generally reenlisting. Gov. ^ W. A. MacCorkle, men's State chairmen, was one of the distinguished speakers. He announced that he had reappointed all of his old 91 county chairmen and at that time but four had reported their accept- ances and that a joint conference was then impossible. He ur^ed a joint conference of men and women and set the date for April 4 and 5, which invitation was accepted by Mrs. Poffenbarger for the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. The State county chairmen concurred, and the two organizations of men and women Liberty loan workers were then pledged for equal service in putting over the loans in West Virginia. Miss Mary Synon attended this meeting, repre- senting the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. GLEANINGS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. As a means of honoring the women workers for the loans in West Virginia, the governor of the State, John J. Cornwell, adjourned both houses of the legislature on March 19 to have Miss Mary Synon, treasurer of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, appear before them as representative of the women who have labored for the success of the Liberty loans. In recognition of her services for the Liberty loans, as well as for her interest in educational work in her State, the University of West Virginia has conferred the honorary degree of doctor of laws upon Mrs. George Poffenbarger, chairman of the woman's loan organiza- tion. The university, of which the fiftieth anniversary came during the war, celebrated the event by the giving of the honorary degrees to the Secretary of War, who was born in the State, to the governor and five ex-governors, to the ambassador to Great Britain, also a West Virginian, and to Mrs. Poffenbarger. Mrs. William Chilton, wife of the former Senator from West Vir- ginia, took a secretarial course in business college, graduating with a 99.8 per cent record, in order to promote her efficiency in office work to help in the Liberty loans.

In 4 counties notes were sold by general solicitation, the woman's com- mittee credited with 50 per cent of the sales. The woman's committee organized the schools throughout the State. Mrs. George Bass spoke in Wisconsin during the campaign, repre- senting the national committee. GLEANINGS^ FROM THE CAMPAIGN. The woman's committee held meetings of groups of foreign women, calling together Polish, Italian, Greek, Syrian, Slovine, Serbian, Croatian, Czecho-Slovak, Bohemian, and Norwegian women. The result was that $60,450 in Victory bonds was sold by this foreign group in Milwaukee, the Syrians having 100 per cent record, as there was a bond sold in every Syrian home of the city. A platform was erected on the steps of the Federal building in Milwaukee, with a statue of Liberty in the background and a large American flag in 93 the foreground, and in front a sign which said '^Americans from /' and then each day the name of a different nationality was added. In one village the woman chairman used a curtain in the window of her home for a local bulletin, and whenever any Victory loan news of interest was received it was attached to the curtain, which was lowered, and it thus became a matter of public interest to all the peo- ple in the village. The little play, ''Lest We Forget," has been given in hundreds of places in Wisconsin. At a Liberty loan meeting in a Wisconsin town about 100 women had gathered. The meeting was half over when a white-haired, rosy-cheeked woman came in breathlessly and said she would like to explain her tardiness. ''I have two sons in the service in France, and my youngest son and I run our good-sized farm. To-day I had a company of silo fillers and I had to cook for them. I cooked their dinner, put it on the table, and then came away and left them. I hitched up my horse and I've driven 10 miles to find out how I can sell Liberty bonds." The organization of the Women's Liberty Loan Committee in Wisconsin was not an easy task in the beginning, as there were naturally many difficulties to overcome in a State where the foreign-born population is so large. It is a very great satisfac- tion, however, to have seen the organization grow from very small beginnings to its present size and to have witnessed and taken part in the arousing of the women of Wisconsin to their responsibilities toward their country and to know that now there is hardly a village in the State where the women have not done a loyal and valuable service in this Liberty loan work. The cooperation throughout the seventh Federal reserve district of Wisconsin between the men's and women's organizations for the Victory loan has been very good indeed. With very few exceptions the men's and women's committees have worked as one organization and great harmony and correspondingly good results have obtained." — Extracts from State report. CITIES.

Woman's committee group conducted a house-to-house canvass to reach the woman in her home; there was a chairman for each ward and precinct and a captain for each block. Fifteen hundred women 94 in the city of Milwaukee carried on this work in the Victory loan, and with a quota of $1,924,250 they raised $2,244,500. A booth committee, under the direction of the National League for Woman's Service, consisting of 15 groups, comprising 250 women, maintained booths in all the large department stores and other public places and raised in the Victory loan campaign in Milwaukee $443,700.

In several counties of this territory the woman's committee not only did the educational work which was supposed to be their share but they went out and made actual sales of bonds to more than their allotted 25 per cent. In one county the men's committee abandoned the field and the woman's committee finished what the men were too discouraged to continue. A very active educational campaign has been carried on all over this part of Wisconsin, the work of the speakers' bureau being most efficient. The bureau in Chippewa County reported 75 speakers — almost more than there were numbers in the audience. There has been a meeting in almost every schoolhouse, and the message of the necessity for the loan has been carried to every farm- house by a personal canvass. CITIES.

Many men, supposedly too poor to give any allotment, subscribed heavily. Indians invested $3,000. A man, after paying his allotment, gave the women a $250,000 subscription. 95 Amount subscribed through woman's committee: Second loan $114, 000 Third loan 190, 800 Fourth loan 557, 950 Fifth loan 520,000 Record of the woman's committee for the whole State in all loans. - Second loan $6, 334, 930 Third loan $10, 173, 230 Per cent 18 Fourth loan $44, 645, 258 Per cent 39 Fifth loan $46, 572, 977 Per cent 50 Mrs. John Mariner was State chairman for the whole State for the second, third, and fourth loans.

GLEANINGS FEOM THE CAMPAIGN. One woman bond buyer made the money by raising motherless lambs. Worthy of special mention is the work of a young woman, under 24 years of age, who had charge of both the men's and women's committees in Carbon County. She put her county over the top with a large oversubscription. A bird in the hand was worth two in the bush to the chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee of Mountain View, Wyo. At a gathering for an oyster supper at L3rmon, Wyo., the chairman recognized an opportunity and addressed the guests, firing the first gun of the Victory loan campaign before April 21. Another instance of the spirit of the women of the West was related by the woman State chairman. At the beginning of the fourth loan an old lady of 68, a member of the Liberty loan com- mittee, was knocked down and run over by an automobile, breaking a leg and an arm. When other members of the committee went to the hospital to solicit bonds they found that the ambitious patient had already sold bonds to every doctor, every nurse, and to all visitors who approached her while she was convalescent. The chairman of Sweetwater County, Wyo., canvassed the county around the coal mines, where she talked ^^pidgeon," and was under- stood by men and women of 42 nationalities. She and the chairman 96 for Rock Springs, like other Wyoming chairmen, rode miles to get subscriptions, broke down, encountered mud and sand, but the Sweetwater workers are the only ones who report the distinction of sleeping in the poorhouse in their campaign for funds. Record of woman's committee in State for all loans. Second loan $942, 100 Third loan $2, 314, 000 Per cent 44 Fourth loan $3, 204, 000 Per cent 40 Fifth loan $3, 392, 900 Per cent 52 Mrs. T. S. Taliaferro has been State chairman for all loans. The quota for the Victory loan was about 20 per cent less than in the fourth loan. In spite of this the woman's committee raised $188,900 more than in the fourth loan, thus increasing their per cent. REPORT ON PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION FOR THE VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN. There was a marked improvement in the distribution of material by the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee for the Victory loan campaign. An early start was made in the matter of printing, all orders for stationery being placed with the Government Printing Office during the month of January, and the burden on the Govern- ment Printing Office was less, due to the decreased pressure of many war-time activities, which resulted in prompt service in the printing of Victory loan material. A third factor which contributed largely to the prompt receipt of supplies by chairmen throughout the country was the relieving of the congestion in transportation which had existed during the preceding campaigns. Shipments were made as follows: The Distribution Bureau of the Treasury sent out all material on schedules prepared by the com- mittee. Letterheads, envelopes, post cards, and labels were sent to the State chairmen according to the quantity requested in question- naires and additional orders. The literature was apportioned among the 64 States and divisions of States on the basis ol population, size of territory, and relative degree of organization. The orders for stationery as given on the questionnaires sent out to the State chairmen in January were filled during the months of January and February. Paper patterns for the V armbands adopted by the national committee were printed on large sheets and sent out with instructions to the State chairmen the last week in February. The poster designed especially for the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee was distributed through the Federal reserve chairmen, a suggested schedule being prepared for each district by the distribution agent. Pledge slips were printed and sent to each district except the 97 sixth and ninth, where the individual allotment system was used. Only one form of report card was printed for the use of county, city, and State chairmen, thus effecting a considerable economy in distri- bution. Special certificates of appointment for county chairmen were printed for each of the Federal reserve districts, and carried the signature of Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury, Mrs. George Bass, secretary of the committee, and the governors of the various districts. The literature issued by the T^ ational Woman's Liberty Loan Com- mittee for the Victory loan consisted of a series of eight leaflets written by various prominent men and women and printed in uniform size and style. These were printed and distributed during the months of March and April, advance copies being sent to the State chairmen for use at their State conferences. The report of the fourth loan was printed in Chicago, under the direction of Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank. In addition to its own material, a supply of handbooks for speakers was assigned by the publicity bureau to the woman's committee for dis'tribution. The total number of pieces of material sent out by the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee for the Victory loan amounted to 14,621,285.
