LIBERTY LOAN IS
OVER SUBSCRIBED
THREE MILLIONS
Nearly Every Federal Reserve
District is Largely Over
Subscribed

WASHINGTON. June i5.-The Lib
erty Loan was tremendously over
subscribed when the books were closed
at noon today. The treasury officials
estimated that the total would reach
at least two and half billions and
might soar to three billion dollars.
Every federal reserve district, with
the possible exception of Kansas City
and Atlanta, appear to have exceeded
the minimum allotment.
Secretary McAdoo said this after
noon: The success of the loan is u
triumph for democracy, and is an un-
mistakable expression of Americas
determination to carry the war to
swift and successful conclusion"
The secretary said he did not think
there would be another Offering OF
the remaining three billion authorized
by congress before this fall.
