hardly an exception, expressed a deep

appe)(a ed to want to aid in iniltting it
over, but it had been dlitlicult to get
su'serI ptions. The subscript ions of
III (1n of moderate Ineamns and of wealth
were reportl ed to be disti netly disap
pointing in a majority of cases, al
thongli there were exceptions. Some
nun .are as a reason why they could
not buy bonds of the Fourth Loan was
that they had bought in previous loans,
or inl War Savings Stamps, and some
even confused the Lihert.y Loan wito
the Red Cross. The disposition seems
to be to hoard the earnings of this
year and let somebody else tuy the
bonds.
