 Has 300,000

Washington, April 28.- |Oversubscription of the $3, ,000,000,000 minimum of lthe Third Liberty Loan now is looked for during the cam- Ipaign s final week, about to start, but treasury officials declared tonight the $5,000,- 100000 needed would be sub- lscribed only if millions of citizens take shares of the lloan within the next six days.
 It is apparent that with about l s2, 200, 100000 definitely pledged, many other subscriptions in the hands Iof campaign committees without the linstallment payments, and roll of l9 ,461 1000 individual subscribers, the third war credit is truly peoples loan."
 But only the hardest kind of work in the next six days will make possible ap- proaeh af she 20oee.0o0 vs,tscribers, goa taslsoa Tor by Secretary Ms.sl'sss saia tl.a headauarters review tonight When the second loan campaign was thrce-fourths over, the treasury elected that possibly s2, 25o ooo,O00 had been sub scribed although only sl,33S, ,oooo01 had been officially reported as compared with the so,2oo,o0oooo now officially tab ulated for the third loan
 PLEDGES FROM RICH It is considered certain that reports this week will include a great number of pledges from weathy men and cor porations which heretofore have held off hoping for the government to arrange a system of installment payments for in- come and excess profits taxes Since this has been definitely refused. they are expected to subscribe literally to Liberty Bonds, paying for them on the installment plan. In addition to these big subscriptions, campaign workers look for an avalanche of small purchases on the last two days, Friday and Saturday. Tho loan headquarters statement to- night offered the comment that Germany, after three years of war, recently floated a loan which averaged one bond to ev- cry 10 persons in the empire. and that it behooves this country to go well above this average in order to make an im- pressive demonstration of unity. INDIVIDUAL SUBSCRIBERS The number of subscriptions and dis tribution of bonds by districts is shown by the following federal reserve district reports
 Chicago, 100000; New York. 1895 900; Kansas City. s22,oOo San Francisco, 6S2.- 187; St. Louis, 57si95.
 Estimates of other district totals are: Dallas and Cleveland. 750.00o each; Bos- ton, 52S, 456; Philadelphia and Minneapolis, 50o,coo each; Richmond, 4o0.o0o and At lanta. 30o,0D.
 More small bonds are being sold in this
 loan than were sold in the second. hence the individual number of subscriptions must be much larger now in order to raise an amount of money equal to that raised in the second loan.
 One of the most potent factors in the success of the third loan to date has been the splendid support given it by the res- idents of rural communities" said the treasury rev1ew

 SOLICITORS MANY
 Never before in any of the three Liberty Loan campaigns have so many solicitors been in the field as will step forth to- morrow morning. All of the regular statesmen, even in the districts that have attained their quotas. have their books open and are eagerly solisiting every available dollar in order to put the loan high over the top. This number includes women as well as men. To pick ur tho stray subscribers. there are 420,WU Roy Scout workers in the field. Fifty new workers who will be thrown into the speaking and selling in eastern cities tomorrow are members of tho American expeditionlry force just hacK iron, France.
 Announcement was made today that the navy's total subscriptions were in excess of &. coco a record of more than $1 .0Oo- 000 day since it entered the campaign. Washington and Philadelphia navy yards are striving to equal if not exceed tho record of the Boston yard, which an- nou aced, yesterday that 99 per cent of it's
