The part taken by the people in subscribing, by Liberty Loan workers, and by the banks, in five great Liberty Loans is one of the most important chapters in the history of Washington's participation in the World War.
It is generally acknowledged had it not been for the patriotic response of the people at home in the financing of the war, the great victory which ultimately came to our arms and the arms of our allies would not have been possible.
Only those who were in close touch with the various Liberty Loan Campaigns in Washington and were familiar with the detailed work required in securing subscriptions, can have any idea of the devotion to their task which was the first consideration always in the minds of the hundreds who worked for Washington's success in the Liberty Loans.
Washington was apportioned a very large share of the amounts to be raised by the government because of the fact that our banks carried larger deposits than the average town of like or larger population. This can be better realized when we consider that the quotas for Washington alone were almost as large as the quotas for the entire state, in the case of one or two southern states.
Our people accepted their tasks cheerfully and went to work with a will. How effectively they worked can be noted from the figures at the head of this article. In each Liberty Loan Washington over-subscribed its quota.
No extensive organization was formed for the first and second Liberty Loans in 1917. The first Loan was mostly handled by the banks, although the real estate and insurance men volunteered to canvass the business streets and sold a number of bonds in this way. During the second Loan the nucleus of the organization that worked through the next two Loans was formed and in the second Loan a much larger popular distribution of bonds was affected. In the third and fourth Loans this organization carried on exten- sive advertising and propaganda campaigns to secure as many individual buyers of bonds as possible. Intensive canvasses were carried out with wonderful results in the number and total amount of subscriptions secured.
The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign opened with a great processional pageant planned and organized by committees that had worked day and night for weeks before. The general committee was composed of T. C. O'Rorke, Chair- man, C. S. Caldwell, F. H. Berthel, I. E. Paul, Thos. Sten-
house, John L. Stewart and Wm. W. Reese, with C. O. Hanes as secretary.
The Sub-Committee Chairmen were. Finance, Ben Rey- nolds; Bands, A. V. Lewis; Industrial, C. E. Frazier ; Parade, C. B. McAlister; Chief Marshal of Parade, Col. J. E. Barnett ; Reception, Hon. J. A. Mcllvaine; Music, J. P. Miller ; Speakers, Harry A. Jones; Window Displays, \V. A. Proudfit ; Arrangements, John W. Warrick; Floats and Banners, S. W. Hall; Publicity, C. O. Hanes.
The parade took place on the opening day of the cam- paign, Saturday, September 28, 1918, and created wonderful enthusiasm for the Fourth Liberty Loan.
It is impossible on this page to name all those who ren- dered valuable and unselfish work during Washington's Liberty Loan Campaigns. It is only right, however, to name the principal committee chairmen, most of whom served continuously through the second, third and fourth Loans.
The Industrial Committee, headed by G. G. Oliver and ably assisted by Gilmer Weston, went through all campaigns and reported records of subscriptions by the men of Wash- ington's industries that were little short of wonderful. When the industries adopted for their slogan in the Fourth Liberty Loan, "Double for the Fourth what we bought of the Third Liberty Loan," it seemed incredible that they could succeed. But in every mill and mine the committees went to work with such zeal that in every industry, except one that was handicapped by a strike, the third Loan quotas were doubled and in some cases tripled.
Fred S. Marshall, as Chairman of the Retail Committee; E. S. McLeod, chairman of the Wholesale committee; E. F. Westlake, chairman of the Schools committee; John H. Murdoch and R. A. S. Pollock, chairmen of Office Build- ings; Harry A. Jones, chairman of the Four Minute Speak- ers; Geo. M. Thompson, chairman of Posters and Litera- ture; C. B. McAlister, Newspaper Advertising chairman ; Rev. R. B. Cuthbert, chairman of the Church committee; J. W. Wallace, chairman of the Fraternal Organizations ; Mrs. Clarence Stevens, as secretary and 'hundreds of work- ers all rendered signal patriotic service during the Liberty Loan campaigns.
During the last week of the Fourth Liberty Loan cam- paign a committee of about one hundred of Washington's most prominent men was organized and directed by Mr. Chas. S. Caldwell in a whirlwind wind-up that put Wash- ington and many nearby townships over the top by large margins. Noteworthy work in securing large subscriptions was done in this wind-up by E. S. McLeod, C. B. McAlister, Walker Brown, J. Alvan Weirich, A. V. Lewis, E. E. Crum- rine, Geo. T. Walker, Alex M. Donan, Geo. F. Drury and a number of others.

WASHINGTON'S PART IN THE WORLD WAR
The Victory Liberty Loan was put over by Mr. Caldwell's committee with just a few days vigorous work, following well-laid plans arranged by Mr. Caldwell. The banks assisted greatly in assuring the success of the Victory Liberty Loan by urging upon their customers the advan- tages of the Victory Bonds.
No history of Washington's part in Liberty Loans would be complete without a statement of the splendid manner in which Washington's bankers, and all bank employees, met the call of the government and assumed the unusually heavy extra work the Liberty Loan campaigns brought on them. Washington's banks all made splendid records in each Loan and gave full evidence of their earnest desire to cooperate with the government in making the war a success.
THE WOMEN'S PART
The women's part in the Liberty Loans commenced with the second loan. The first loan had been floated with a temporary organization and it was not until the fall of 1917 that the women of Washington were called to the colors. Mrs. L. S. Vowell of Washington was chairman of the women's county organization and by her the county was divided into seven districts, Washington itself being District No. 7. Of the local district Mrs. W. J. Hogue was made chairman with an office force composed of Miss Margaret M. Clark and Miss Flora Williams, and a speakers' bureau including Mrs. Edwin Linton, Mrs. Owen Murphy, Mrs. A. M. Linn, Mrs. Ernest Waltz, Mrs. Norman Clark, Mrs. Charles Crawford, Mrs. J. A. McIlvaine, Miss Stella Weyer. and Miss Mary McClane.
In the second loan the women of the Washington district (which then also included District No. 5) got subscriptions for $481,150; in the third loan they raised $226,850; in the fourth loan the Washington women secured 3,031 subscrip- tions for a total of $1,354,550; in the Victory loan the total was 1,957 subscribers and $848,850. This magnificent showing did much to place Washington county so high in standing among districts of the Cleveland Federal Reserve area.

Sub-chairmen : Mrs. W. D. Teagarden, Miss Alice Jones. Miss Nannie Sample, Miss Elizabeth Stockdale, Miss Flora E. Campbell, Mrs. Cramer T. Beatty, Mrs. Olive W. Grace, Mrs. George Miller, Mrs. F. J. Scott, Mrs. Harry A. Jones, and Mrs. S. E. Brooks.
