The Closing Hours

From coast to coast the story that
poured into the treasury all day was
the same, a story of a whirlwind fin
ish. kilograms told of tolling bells
and shrieking whistles across the con-
tinent, marking the last day of the
campaign; of redoubled efforts by the
many agencies at work for the loans
success; of enthusiasm at its highest
pitch; of long waiting lines of sub
scribers in thousands of banks in ev-
cry state of the union.
No Basis for Final Figures
The last "a hours work is going to show
big in the final count. according to these
reports. Before noon tomorrow, officials
hoped, every man in the country who
can subscribe will have done So Tonight
there was no telling where the total
might lead, no basis for forecastng the
final figures.
1t seemed certain, however, that at
least 100000 persons will have subscribed
before the books are closing at noon to-
morrow. Measuring the total by the num-
Der of Liberty Loan buttons which have
gone out from headquarters, the number
of subscribers should exceed 100000.
New York has taken 900 buttons, and
estimates that it will furnish 100000 sub
scribers Philadelphia and Boston have
taken more than 100000 each. The Cleve-
land district has received 10000, Chicago
100000, St Louis, Kansas City and Rich
mond 200 coo each. To San Francisco 265,-
900 have been sent. From several dis
tricts hurry calls have been received for
more.
MANY thousands of banks and trust
companies are yet to be heard from
with their subscriptions for themselves
and their customers. This item alone,
it is thought will swell the total by
many millions.
Work Of 1abulators
An army of tabulators toiled far into
the night at the headquarters of the
committee, making feversh efforts to
compile this staggering total of sub
scriptions. Rows of workers piled up
checks that represented millions of
dollars. The total represented a sum
greater than even masters of finance
could comprehend.
Members of the committee would
not hazard a guess as to the total that
will be shown when all the subscrip
lions are tabulated tomorrow night.
but they felt no doubt that 1t would
far exceed the S1,00000000O they set
out to sell.
It was announced that the Keith cir
cult of vaudeville theatres throughout
the country would turn in subscrip-
tions of at least s2.500,000.
An unofficial estimate of the sub
scriptions of 81 New York banks show
ed a total of 19,550,000.
Reports received at headquarters of
the Boy Scouts of America showed
that Scouts had sold s5143,800 in
bonds in 235 cities and towns. Nine
public schools in New York City re-
ported subscriptions of more than
100000.
The Railroad Liberty Loan commit
tee. of which President Alfred II. Smith
of the New York Central is chairman,
announced that total of. S0324 in
dividual subscriptions by railroad en-
ployes aggregating s3,054,2oo, was re-
ported today. The subscription report
ed to date number 1o5,151 for s9,s0S,-

of the bond subscriptions made in
hlcs4Ks by the railroad companies,
which exceed S40,000,000.
