Washington, June 14.-The liberty
| loan campaign entered tho home
stretch today with every indication
that the tremendous thirtieth day
drive throughout the nation would re-
suit in going well beyond the $4,000
100000 goal.
From coast to coast the story that
poured into the treasury all day was
the same, story of whirlwind finish.
Telegrams told Of tolling bells and
shrieking whistles across the conti-
nent, marking the last day of tie
campaign; Of redoubled efforts by
the many agencies at work for the
highest pitch, a long waiting line of
subscribers in thousands of banks In
every state Of the union.
Total VIII BE High,
Before noon tomorrow officials
hope every man In the country who
can subscribe will have done So At
the closing hour tonight there was no
telling where the total might lead and
no basis for forecasting the final
| figures.
! 1t seemed, certain. however. that at
i least 2.vR0, 0Qe persons will have Ssub-
Hcrlbed before the books are closed
New York, Philadelphia, Boston.
Cleveland, Chicago, st. Louis and
Kansas City are the districts from
| which will come the great bulk OF
subscriptions.
5000, 0,OOO,O 900 Wednesday.
Late campaign figures made public
today by Secretary McAdoo as of the
close of business last night, showed
an apparent shortage of $157, 7,000,0 900.
The total reported was 81 1.S43,000. .000.
These reports were received after
noon at the treasury. They showed
an increase of nearly $500, 200, 900 in
| subscriptions over the previous days
report.
The loan. according to reports re-
ceived by treasury officials, Is in every
sense popular one. BY far the great
est issues which the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing will be called upon to
turn out will be of the $50 and 500
bonds. For them there has been an
extremely heavy demand in every in
dustrial section of the country and In
many rural communities. The city of
Washington, officials estimate, will
marshal 10000 individual subscrip-
tions, most of them for the $50 and
800 bonds. Employees of the treas
ury department alone subscribing to
the $50 and 500 bonds have taken
approximately $450,000.
Figures Are Actual.
Many thousands of banks and trus.
companies are yet to be heard from
This item, 1t Is thought. will swell the
total by many millions. As rule the
banks have been inclined to hold bacl;
| their subscriptions until the last MN
| ute, or report only portion of them.

scriptions In the federal reserve banks
accompanied by the required 2 per
cent of the amount of subscriptions
! Officials believe that the reserve
banks will be deluged tomorrow by
flood of last minute subscriptions.
There is time yet. however, for the
man or woman who wants a small
bond to get 1t, officials said. for the
small investor Is to be favored above
all others and every application for
small bond Is to be granted. In the
case of er-subscriptions this would
result in pairing down the larger sub

Banks Keeping Open.
Throughout the country the banks
are Keeping open till late tonight to
accommodate the last minute in
vestor The treasury department has
granted banks permission. in extreme
cases to telegraph the amount Of their
subscriptions to their reserve banks
telegraphing the Q per cent of the
total at the same time, but all sub
scriptions, to be counted. must reach
| reserve banks not later than noon.
The exact total of all subscriptions
from every source may not be known
for some time after the closing Of the
books because Of the tremendous
amount OF clerical work involved in
assembling returns and making tabu-
