 WASHINGTON, May 5-An andy sis of Liberty loan reports today showed that probably 17000,000 per sons bought bonds in the campaign which closed last ,0OO O00 more than in the second loan, and l2,50O,O00 more than in the first.
 Latest tabulations showed $3,316,- 628,250 reported subscriptions, but the treasury now believes the actual total which may run to 0OO,0O0,O0O will not be definitely known until May 13.
 Whatever the money total" said treasury statement tonight the loan just closed probably is the most successful ever floated by any nation. The marvellous distribution of the third Liberty loan indicates that one out of every six persons in the United States may have participated in this loar"
 Banks resources, it was pointed out have been drawn on compara- lively little and the prospects for future loans are brighter as con- sequence. An added reason for jubi- lation is the indication that the gov ernment bond buying habit is becom- ing stronger among people of small means.

 Secretary McAdoo gave out this statement:
 The people of the United States may well felicitate themselves upon the triumphant success of the third Liberty loan. It is a most heartening manifestation of their patriotism and of their inflexible determination to support our gallant army and navy until 8 victorious decision for America is achieved.
 Thanks American People q should like to thank the thou sands of men and women throughout the country, every class of our citi- zenship, for their effective assistance and cooperation in this great victory behind the lines, without which a vlc- tory on the front cannot be achieved. T earnestly hope that every one who has bought Liberty bonds will try to keep them for the period of the war at least. The slogan now should be keep your Liberty bonds. No one does his share fully if he | merely buys a bond and then sells it immediately below par on the market.
 If each and every purchaser keeps | his Liberty bond he helps to protect the credit of the government by main | taining the market for the bonds at par, which is a very helpful thing war time.'
