Bisbee daily review., 1918-05-05

tllrQ tune MllllD a year lilr ADltIlCdu people have heavily Over-subscribed war credit. As the third Liberty loan was closing tonight the treasury announced the campaign had been 'an overwhelming success" Although S3. .OO0 .O00. GOO was the formal goal of the campaign. official reports includ- ing only a small proportion of today's avalanche of pledges showed the total as s ,2O3 .655, 400. and there were tndi- cations that the aggregate would be in- creased to nearly S400O.0 .000. .0O00 next week when the banks have time to tabuIate the multitude Of last minute applications.
 The exact result of the campaign probably not will be known until late in the week.
 IS Million Purchaser
 Official estimates placed the num- Der of subscribers at between 12000.- GOO and 15.OOO. .OOO-far above the 1O.-. o fthe first-and some officials ex- pressed the belief that the roll of bond buyers would be even greater. To them this was one of the most encouraging features of the loan.
 All twelve federal reserve districts, which were the largest campaign units oversubscribed. and a majority of the states made the same record Della ware doubled its quota.
 Bond selling continued actively in many cities up to late hour tonight and hanks stayed open in a final effort to roll I'D more subscriptions than the g. 61e. 900 900 900 of the second Liberty loan last October.
 Messages reaching Washington to- nisht indicated. however. that the big subscriptions from corporations and business interests which weer fea- lures of the last hours of the second csmnaien g:ere lacking owing to the imn'inence of income and exces profits tax paying time in June. when more than s3,00O 100000 in war levies will have to be paid to the government. Tie success of the campaign. even without big individual subscriptions demonstrated that the loan was pop uisr'' and that bonds would be wide ly distributed among alI classes and lc cations.

 The headquarters revie wtOnisht de scribed the final roundup in New York as probably the most striking feature of the last days campaign Within a few hours s129.0OO.000 subscriptions were recorded. sending the city and state of New York over their quotas.
 The figure of $3.2O3, ,655.000 officially recorded by the treasury. covered business up to o'clock yesterday af- ternoon for all districts except New York. which reported at o'clock this afternoon and Boston and Philadelphia which reported at II o'clock this morn ing
 Tt is impossible to estimate the amount of subscriptions taken in the various districts up to the close Of business tonight. said the headquar- ters statement. but the volume doubt less will how substantial increase over these latest official figures.
 The treasury did not venture any guess concerning tlre eventful propOr- tions of the loan.
