Washington, October 27-With the
100000 minimum of the Liberty
Loan exceeded by subscriptions,
Treasury officials announced today
that the tremendous drive would be
continued throughout the country
today in an effort to bring the total
up to $5,0O0,000,O00.
From every Federal Reserve dis
triet,' it was announced, come re-
ports showing that plans contemplate
making today, the final day of the
drive, the biggest one of all. Its re-
turns may even outstrip Liberty day,
when all records for single days
sales were smashed. Some of the
largest subscribers have been holding
off until the last day and they and
an army of wage-earners, who will
draw their pay today, are expected
to come forward and take bonds.
Every possible agency for facili-
tating the taking of last minute sub
scriptions will be available. Banks
in most cities will remain open not
only during Saturday afternoon. but
also at night The days sale will
close when the last man who desires a
bond has bought it.
