BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE.
Written in May, 1861, at the outbreak Of tn
civil war;
Come, freemen Of the land,
Come meet the great demand,
True heart and open hand.
Take the loan
For the hopes the prophets saw.
For the swords your brothers draw,
For liberty and law,
Take the loan
Ye ladies of the land
As We love the gallant band.
Who have drawn a soldiers brand,
Take the loan
Who would bring them what she could,
Who would give the soldier food,
Who would staunch her brothers blood,
Take the loan
All who saw her hosts pass by,
All who joined the parting cry,
When we bade them do die,
Take the loan
As ye wished their triumph then,
As We hope to meet again,
And to meet their gaze as men,
Take the loan.
Who could press the great appeal
OF our ranks of serried steel.
Put your shoulders to the wheel,
Take the loan,
That our prayers in truth may rise,
Which press with streaming eyes
On the Lord of earth and skies.
Take the loan.

DISSATISFACTION.
BIG OFFERS TO BE PARED

Secretary McAdoo announced last
night that no part of the great over
subscription to the liberty loan would
be accepted. and that his statement of
May 10 in which he declared that the
issue would be limited to $4,000. 600. 900
stood good now as then.
Mr.. McAdoos announcement will re-
suit in pairing down hundreds Of the
larger subscriptions until the total
reaches the $4,000. 100000 limit How
much will have to be pared down from
the amount the country offered to take
was still an unknown quantity last
night. The oversubscription will not
fall, it seemed certain, below 500. 0o0.-
600. and may go as sigh as $780,
100000.
Several Days to Total Offers.
The grand total of subscriptions re-
ceived at reserve banks up to noon
Friday, the closing hour, will not be
known until tomorrow at the earliest.
The total of subscriptions that reached
the federal reserve banks after this
hour probably will not be known until
after that Indications are that the
grand total of what the American peo-
pie were willing to take will not be
available until the middle Of the week.
so great has been the excess.
In disposing of reports that the
amount of the issue might be enlarged
to include all offers, Mr.. McAdoo issued
the following statement:
"Allotments OF liberty bonds will not
be made in excess of the two billion
dollars offered. I announced this on
May 10. when the details OF the loan
were first published.
II have asked the reserve banks to
tabulate separately and On supple
mentary lists the subscriptions re-
ceived yesterday, June IS, after noon.
in order that 1 may be in a position to
consider. in making allotment of the
two billion dollars of bonds. those ap-
plications which, through no fault of
the subscriber. either because of delay
on the part of the bank or trust COM
pany transmitting them or congestion
of the mails or at the doors OF the fed
eral reserve banks at the moment of
closing, were not recorded on time.
TT Is impossible now to foretell
what decision will be reached in this
matter or to determine the basis upon
which allotments will be made until
substantially def1nitive returns have
been received from the several
federal reserve banks. The organiza-
lions Of these banks. unusually efficient
as they are. have been overwhelmed by
the multitude Of applications received
at the last moment.
Il shall avail myself of the right re-
served in the circular Offering the bonds
to allot in full upon applications for
smaller amounts of bonds and to re-
duce allotments on applications for
larger amounts. as such action will be
clearly in the public interest.

Appreciate Publicity Work.

Mr.. McAdoo acknowledged with ap-
probation the work Of the many forces
Of publicity which aided in the fota-
J ton of the loan.
The liberty campaign" he said, was
essentially one Of education and without
the generous and patriotic support of
the press of the nation the hope of
those In charge that it would be popu-
! lar loan would not have been realized
The untiring efforts of the newspapers
throughout the campaign were con-
slant inspiration to the various other
groups of workers.
AT a time when news space was at
a premium, the liberty loan was fea-
| tured at length. The foreign language
press in thirty-six languages gave daily
proof of the undoubted loyalty Of peo-
carried one or more cards: paper and
metal billboards, electric signs, moving
picture slides and films everywhere
brought the liberty loan directly and
squarely before the people.
/ Il shall be most grateful to the press
| if this acknowledgment is given wide
publicity"
Tabulating Work Progressing.
| Reports to the Treasury at the time
of closing yesterday from all reserve
banks stated that the work of tabulat-
| ing returns was progressing at all banks
| except Atlanta, which had completed it's
cOfnpllatlOn.
In several cases 1t was stated that
tabulations probably could not be fln-
| ished until tomorrow.
| In addition to the returns received
from federal reserve banks a great
food Of subscriptions direct to the
Treasury also was to be compiled.
These subscriptions probably will be
| distributed to the respective reserve
districts of their origin, swelling their
| totals. What the total Of this batch of
| subscriptions would be was a matter
Of pure guesswork. Several large sub
| scriptions were known to have been re-
ceived. among them one for S., 600, 900
and another for 100000.
Senator Lewis, speaking yesterday in
| the Senate. paid a tribute to the Amer
lean people for their support of the
| liberty loan.
Let the once doubling world" he
said, mote that the people of the United
States, suddenly precipitated from
peace to war. rescued themselves from
business obligations. commercial un-
dertakings, banking and industrial
pledges and in fifteen days paid to their
nation sum of money the equal of
which the warning nation of Britain
| took six months to deliver, France FIVE
months. Germany eight months and
| Russia more than a year"
