Total Is S311,657,ooo.

Total Is 1857 900.
Compilation OF subscriptions was
beyond a physical possibility with
the present working staff. Probably
one-fourth of the offering already has
been spoken for.
Officials listed subscriptions re-
ceived up to 2 p. m. and found that
during the six hours of working time
since the last compilation the country
had subscribed to $172,9S3, 900 addi-
tional, bringing the grand total for
the two days up to $311, 657 900, ex-
elusive of thousands of replies yet to
be listed.
No Slackers' Fund.
Subscriptions listed yesterday and
today represent the offerings of less
than per cent of the total number of
financial institutions before which
Secretary McAdoo placed the offering
4S hours ago. Should the present ratio
be maintained the banks and their
customers will have subscribed to ap-
proximately $6,500,000 worth of the
bonds, an over-subscription of more
than 200 per cent.
AS many of the larger financial in
situations have telegraphed their sub
scriptions, however, officials are in
clined to believe that the present ratio
hardly will be maintained.
Replies to the offering received to-
day came from virtually every part of
the world where the American flag is
flown. Hawaii, Porto Rico. and the
Philippines proved that they are not
financial slackers by cabling substan-
tial subscriptions. Fairbanks, Alaska,
the northernmost city in the western
world ,telegraphed a $4,000 subscrip-
ton and added that the loan would be
advertised in all the newspapers there.
Reply Is Overwhelming.
From every state in the Union the
reply was overwhelming.
