"There are to be nineteen days of actual campaign work. The great task of organization and preparation is now going on. Artists have been making posters, writers have been preparing arguments, and printing presses in all parts of the country have been turning out many millions of mottoes, cartoons, and slogans." He added interesting data as to outstanding treasury certificates and war expenses. The time chosen for the loan was probably as good, it thought, as could have been selected, inasmuch as it would fall just after the bulk of the crops had been harvested and when much of them had been sold at good figures. "War expenses for July were somewhat less than for June and May, amounting to about $1,482,000,000 as compared with $1,512,000,000, the record for June, and $1,508,000,000 for May, the Treasury Department announced. The outlay for July, however, was approximately the amount estimated in advance by the treasury, and expenses for August probably will be higher, it was said. "During July the government's daily outlay was about $48,000,000, an average of $38,000,000 daily was for ordinary expenses of the army, navy, shipping board, and other agencies, and $10,000,000 daily in loans to the Allies. Total ordinary expenditures for the month were about $1,157,000,000 and loans to the Allies $325,000,000. "Receipts from sale of War Savings Stamps July 3rd passed the half-billion dollar mark, of which $200,000,000 came in this month as a result of the campaign on Thrift Day, June 28th. "The government now is financing itself mainly through the sale of certificates of indebtedness, in anticipation of the Fourth Liberty Loan. More than $1,600,000,000 came in from this source in July. In addition, the government received $491,000,000 from belated income and excess profits taxes, and $97,000,000 from miscellaneous internal revenue. Customs duties yielded only $14,000,000. "Payments on the Third Liberty Loan now amount to $3,652,000,000, leaving $524,000,000 to come in from the next installment payment."
