Total, $990,720 $83,674,979 Page Fi/tun Digitized by Google Report on Distribution Immediately upon the closing of the Second Liberty Loan cam,,aign, preparations for the printing of supplies and literature for the Third Loan were commenced at the Washington headquarters. Questionnaires as to the amount required for the next campaign were sent to all State Chairmen in December, but as some of the replies were considerably delayed, it was necessary in many cases to estimate the quantity of letter-heads and envelopes for the various states. This was done, and an order for one million envelopes for the use of Federal Reserve, State, and County Chairmen was placed early in January,with an additional million for circularization from the Washington headquarters. A part of these orders were received from the Government envelope factories the latter part of February, but it was not until the last of March that a sufficient quantity was received to supply all State Chairmen. Three forms of letter-heads were ordered: one for the use ofthe National Committee, one marked "Office of Federal Reserve Chairman," and one "Office of State Chairman." The first distribution of these was made on February 9th, and additional orders were filled as they were received. Arrangements were made with the Distribution Division of the Publicity Bureau to utilize their equipment for the handling of the supplies and literature sent out by this Committee in order to obviate the necessity of establishing a seP.arate distribution department for the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, thus making it possible for the entire work of the campaign to be handled by the regular office force of five members. The requests for additional material which were received by telegram and by mail daily throughout the campaign were, in every instance, transmitted to the Distribution Division within a few hours after their receipt, ana were sent out therefrom as promptly as conditions would allow. • The greatest complaint of delay and non-receipt of sufplies from the State Chairmen was made regarding application blanks, and the various pieces o literature and buttons issued by the Publicity Bureau of the Treasury. The National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee had no control over any of this material. The distribution reports on stationery and literature from this Committee which were sent out to the State Chairmen to be filled in with the date on which the material was received, and which are on file-in the office of the Committee at Washington, show that in the majority of cases the material from this Committee and under the control of this Committee arrived within a reasonable length of time after the orders were received. Aside from the various items of stationery, including the daily report cards, the following material was issued by the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee: Report of the First and Second Liberty Loan Campaigns, compiled by Mrs. Fairbank; Information Folder for Liberty Loan Workers, Dodgers to Women in Industry, and Primers of the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, written by Miss Synon; Why Farmers Should Buy Bonds, taken from a pamphlet issued by the Dallas Federal Reserve District; "Equal Partners," reprint of the address made by the Secretary of the Treasury at Richmond on April 8th. In addition to this literature, all of which was sent to the State Chairmen for distribution, the following material was sent direct to the mailing list of County Cha1rmen: Recommendations to County Chairmen, including letter giving instructions as to use of report cards; Reference Book for Speakers published by the League to Enforce Peace, and a copy of the dodger "Your Country Appeals to You," issued by the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee of Birmingham, Alabama, in the second campaign-this proved to be one of the most effective pieces of literature distributed by this Committee, and was reprinted by five or six of the State Chairmen. Keeping these lists of county chairmen up to date by making the corrections and additions sent in daily by the State Chairmen during the campaign required the time of half of the office force during the campaign. It has been found impracticable to distribute direct to the county chairmen from the national headquarters because of the immense amount of labor involved and because it is impossible to make the necessary corrections in time to assure receipt of the material during the campaign. In order to meet the urgent demand throughout the country for literature and publicity material in addition to that provided for by the National Committee, arrangements were made with the Publicity Bureau of the Treasury Department to turn over a portion of their advertising material for distribution by the women's committees. As most of this material was already in the hands of the Liberty Loan Committees of the Federal Reserve Districts when the matter was taken up, it was necessary to provide for its distribution through the Federal Reserve Chairmen of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. In some of the districts, the chairmen arranged for ample supplies to be sent to the State Chairmen, or to the County Chairmen direct if so desired by the State Chairman. In other districts, however, the only arrangement that could be made with the Liberty Loan Committees was to send all material to the men county chairmen and rely upon them to turn over a sufficient quantity for the women's needs.

Pa,, Digitized by Google S1r111itun Special Work of the Advisory Council The National League for Woman's Service had booths in numerous large cities throughout the country, where noonday meetings were held daily. Some of the cities in which they were organized and did wonderful work are Milwaukee, Detroit and New York City. In Salt Lake City, Utah, they organized a woman's parade, which resulted in splendid enthusiasm. •••••••••• The Stage Women'a War Relief Association maintained a Liberty Theatre in front of the Public Library on 5th Avenue and 42nd Street in New York City, where for six hours daily prominent speakers and actors interested the public. For the last two weeks of the Loan this Society sent out a traveling theatre to visit the crowded districts of the city each day. Actor, and actresses of importance spoke and gave performances from this theatre as an appeal to buy Liberty Bonds. In various cities this Society was of great aid to the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. •• • • • • • • •• The Girl Scouts Organization under the supervision of their leaders and in direct co-operation with the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee sold Liberty Bonds at special booths, their subscriptions amounting to $3,151,100.00. They acted as messengers, they distributed quantities of publicity literature, they organized publicity rallies, and marched in numerous parades. , •••••••••• The Committee on Women's War Work mamtained several booths in New York City, and by circularizing their membership were able to provide 500 women to serve m booths for the local Liberty Loan Committee. • ••••• • •• • The National Federation of College Women maintained booths in the cities throughout the country in which they were located. They did much personal campaigning, speech making, supplying speakers and special work among foreigners. •••••••••• The National Association of Colored Women, through whose efforts five million dollars worth of Bonds were sold were organized for work in almost every city in the United States. The National President of this Association worked very hard to arouse the enthusiasm of her people, traveling over the country at her own expense. She reports that in Savannah, Georgia, over a quarter of a million dollars was raised, and in a tobacco factory $9,100 was raised by poor women, low wage earners. •••••••••• The National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, circularized all its branches, of which there are about 20,000, urging them to invest their permanent funds in Libery Bonds, and where, in a locality they could not afford to purchase Bonds, recommended that they form groups for the purchase of Bonds to be given to their National Treasury. Where groups were not formed, individuals were urged to send such small sums as they could to the National Treasurer for the purchase of bonds for the National W. C. T. U. ' Woman's Committees of the State Councils of Defense In many states the women enrolled as officers and members in the State Council of Defense organization rendered important service to the chairmen of the various Woman's Liberty Loan Committees, and assisted materially in the sale of Liberty Bonds. Page Eighteen Digitized by Google Liberty Loan Lights Experience of a Rural Chairman in Delaw"°e: After explaining to a farmer the importance of buying Bonds he said he had no money. After thinking a moment he asked her if she would take Lincoln pennies. Assuring him she would, they proceeded to his house where he brought forth his wealth to the extent of forty-five hundred Lincoln pennies, which with a five-dollar bill he paid for his bond. • • ••• ••• • • In Manchester, New Hampshire, the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee had entire management of the Liberty Loan Cottage on the public square of the city, providing daily speakers, frequent music and regular solicitors for subscriptions. •••••••••• Total sum raised by the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee of Nevada was lH,009,050.00. The total expenses for the campaign were ,Sl 78.00. Fifteen counties organized in state and only two sent in expense accounts. Counties raised their expenses in various ways. • • • • • • • • •• In Omaha, Nebraska, the Liberty Bank, a replica 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 $710,200. 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. •••••••••• Olive Branch, Mississippi, apportionment was $10,500 and subscribed $40,000 the first day. $32,650 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 pa trio tic effort. •••••••••• Glastonbury, Connecticut, reported the most interested and active worker on the committee 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. Pag1 Nineteen Digitized by Google LIBE&TY LOAN L1GHTS-Conti11vtd 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 Committee. •••••••••• The women of White Pine County, Nevada, with a population of 13,500 sold $554,850 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 $3,000 was subscribed from this particular district where $500 was set as the maximum quota. • • • •' • • • • • • One precinct Chairman in Wyoming, covered her territory on horse-back over the mountains 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 Sullivan 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 $30,000 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. Pagt Twmty Digitized by Google LIBERTY LoAN LtGHTs-Continutd Racine, Wisconsin, held a particularly appealing parade, the flight of the Belgians being very realistically portrayed. * **••••*•• In Maricora County, Arizona, an automobile Flying Squadron, planned and organized by the Womans 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 appoint 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, hke 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 hour; 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 )B,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. • * • * • • • • • • 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 $21,596,750.00. ••••••• ••• 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. Everybody 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 B.onds.

These occupied prominent places in parka and at street intereections . .........·- 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. Aa a result of this Club Plan the sum of $6,126,550.00 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 Cottage in a central hcation and house to house canvass to be the most effective methods of reaching 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 $4,600. In this District $61,650.00 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 buainess 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 Chairman 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 provc.-d very interesting and served to give the Chairman of the Speaker'• 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 Jlrranged a meeting in one of the larger towns to which was invited by letter every citizen who had been heard to make a remark suggestive 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 Canadian 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 $10,500. He had an audience of only one hundred people, but after he finished speaking in fifteen minutes, $10,900 was subscribed.

Hundreds of canning clubs had been formed in many countiea 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 m trying to interest these women and get them on their committees, have them addressed by local s~akers, 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, $10,988,900 was subscribed through the schools, of which $8,957,400 was subscribed through the schools in Cook County, with 85,140 subscribers. •••••*•••* Seymour, Connecticut, reported having a booth mounted on a truck, which 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 makmg 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. Digitized by Google Appendix TREASURER'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOURTH CAMPAIGN Before the beginning of the Third Liberty Loan the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee arranged with the Treasury Department for t~ 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 permit payment for small items of supplies or services such as small bills for telephone, telegraph, 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 accompany Special Form W. L. L. A and Serial Form W. L. L. B. when either of these is presented for payment. It reads, sec 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.

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. Breads, 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 officers. Only those officers designated by state or federal reserve chanmen have authority to incur expenses. Limitation of character of expenses is made~ 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 qmntersign 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 corrections 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 Lading, 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.
