ed how much Of the war loan has
been taken by Delawareans is through
reports from that bank, which Will

ed. has been oversubscribed by close
to $1,000. 100000. there will not be

that all subscribers here, no matter
how large the amount they have ap.
piled for, will be taken care OF.
Small investors will be given pre-
cedence in the disposal OF the re-
naming bonds so that all who have
applied for 500 and 500 bonds will be
supplied The larger investors will
be compelled to walt II there are not
enough 20 90 around. but bankers
here are expected TO insist upon the
apportionment 10 this State Of the
entire si5.OO0.000. suggested by the
Philadelphia Reserve Bank. instead OF
the S4,000,000 originally apportioned
to Delaware by the government. II
this IS done. the little State OF 200,
600 inhabitants will not only have the
distinction Of having over thrice
oversubscribed its quota. but OF re
ceiving all It subscribed for.
