SS ASSOCIATIONS Congratulations, Seattle! . Subscriptions to 46 per cent of the state Fourth Lib- erty Loan quota are in the bank. This was a little bigger percentage than Se- attle has ever before been asked to assume. It was a critical war test, and Seattle rang true. No small part of the credit is due to Chairman Wills of the local committee and to Publicity Director Frank Waterhouse. They instilled in the many hundreds of loan workers the true spirit of optimism and good cheer—and the remarkable achievement—raising nearly 27 millions of dollars, an amount truly stupendous—was brought about a day ahead of schedule.
