Washington, June 13.-Treasury of ficials announced today that the Lib erty loan apparently was short $492,- 100000 of full subscription Tuesday night, two and one-half days before the closing Of the books.
 Announcement was based on actual returns forwarded by banks and trust companies to the twelve reserva banks, accompanied by the two per cent. of subscriptions required. Thous- ands of banks and trust, companies have not been heard from since the loan was first offered, except for state ments that they were working to make the big issue a success.
 A tremendous eleventh hour drive throughout the nation, officials hope. will bring the final count of dollars well beyond the $2000,00O, 900 mark The only tangible evidence on which to base an estimate, however, are the returns from the reserve banks as of the close of business last night. These show total actual subscriptions of S1,- Gas, ,000, 900.

 New York is the only district which has returned subscriptions higher than it's allotment. Not only has New York exceeded the minimum 1t has topped the maximum of $750,000,0 ,000 by $8,00O,0O0.

 Welcomed in the Name of Humanity.
 We know you have come to see the war right through and we welcome you in the name of civilization and hu nanity."

 Gigantic Roar From Soldiers.
 There was perfect silence when Gen eral Pershing descended the gangway to the pier. Then there came gigan- tic roar from the soldiers on the pier, which extended gradually along the harbor until it reached the streets of the town where it was taken up by the public. General Pershing inspected the guard of honor, composed of veter- ar terrftorials, many of whom have seen fighting on every pert of the front and whose breasts g1ittered with medals and war crosses.
 Ovation Accorded Gen. Pershine.
 While the train which was to take General Pesshing to Paris was being made up, the American commander with his staff and accompanied by French officials, drove in automobiles through the principal streets of Boulogne. On the trip General Per shfhg was accorded an ovation by the and appeared deeply touched by the reception.
