Washington. Nov. S-Complete fig ures showing the result of the Second Liberty Loan campaign were made public last night by Secretary Mo Adoo upon his return to Washing ton.
 The official announcement shows that the minimum figure of $3,00O,- 100000 sought in the drive was over subscribed 54 per cent. but that the maximum of 5,0o0,000,000 was miss ed by bare $3s2,467, ,7oo. The total amount of the subscription was $4,- 617,532,300, which represents an over-subscription of $1,617, 300.
 Secretary McAdoo also disclosed the plans for the government with re- spect to allotments. Fifty per cent. only of the over-subscriptions will be accepted, which means that the amount of er-subscrfptions accept ed will be sS0S,766,15O, and that the total amount of bonds to be sold will be $3,S0S, ,15o. Under this ar rangement $S0S,766,15O of the over subscription will not be accepted. This will not affect the millions who took $50 and $100 bonds. All their appli- cations for bonds will be accepted. be- cause it has been decided to allot the full amount of bonds to all who bought not more than $50,000 of bonds. Those who subscribed for more t1aan $50,000 of bonds will have their bids scaled down. The largest individual subscription was that of 0,000,000 by the DuPont Powder Co. of Wilmington, Del. ApproM- mately 40 per cent. of this subscrip tion will be accepted. amounting to $2O,407,600.
 Every Federal Reserve District ex. ceeded its quota, and 9,500,00o per- sons subscribed to the loan. In an- nouncfng the complete figures, Secre- tary McAdoo said that "the success of the second Liberty Loan, like that of the first, is distinct triumph for the people of the United States" and ''augurs the certain success of any future loans that may be offered by the Government"
 The Secretary contradicted reports that the third loan would be launched next January. That would not be nec- essary. he said, '9in view of the largo oversubscription of the second loan."
 The New York Federal Reserve Dis trict subscribed nearly three times as much as the next largest district on the list, Chicago. The subscriptions in the New York district totaled $1,- $50, ,453,450, as against n quota of $9O0, 100000. The oversubscription for the district was 72 per cent. larger than that of any other district.
 Subscriptions to the first Liberty Loan, which closed June IS. were s3,- 035, ,000, 50, per cent. oversubscrip- ton of the $2,0o0, ,000. offered. and allowed. There were more than 100000 subscribers, and allotments were made in full on subscriptions of $10,000 and less.
 On the second Liberty Loan, pay ment of 2 per cent of the subscription amount was required with the ap- plication, and thousands of purchasers of the smaller bonds, particularly of $50 and I$100 denominations, paid cash in full From these payments $151,- 900, ,000 already has been received by the Treasury.
