RUSH IN FINAL HOUR
PUTS LOAN OVER TOP
Goal Passed by a Big Margin-Prob
ably Be Weeks Before Actual
Amount Ascertained.

Washington, Oct. 22.-EStimateS and
figures showing the success of the
fourth Liberty loan poured into the
treasury, indicating that there were
about 25,OO0,O00 subscribers during the
campaign which closed Saturday night
and that the $6,O0O,OO0OC0 goal was
passed by several hundred millions.
All orders for coupon bonds are be
ing filled Immediately, and plenty OF
registered bonds will be ready as fast
as acquisitions for them, accompanied
by the necessary information concern
ing the individual owners reach the
treasury.
Reports from all the reserve dis.
tricts early in the day showed the hon
or roll of subscribers bears 22,OOO,O0C
names as a minimum, and probably
will be found to have several million
more.
Owing to influenza, peace talk and
the fact that many participants in the
third loan now are in the army, the
number of subscribers in the Boston,
Philadelphia and, possibly some other
districts, probably is no greater than
i'll the preceding loan.
1t is apparent, however, that at least
20 per cent of the population Of the
United States bought bonds, a record
equaling and probably exceeding the
percentage record of the British Vic.
tory loan of 1917 which had Q 600 DOC
subscribers. The $5,OOO,O00,O0O sub
scribed to that loan is exceeded by
more than billion dollars. Thus all
records, both for size and distribution
Of war bonds, are broken by the fourth
Liberty loan.
The first Liberty loan had about A.
100000 subscribers, or per cent OF
the population. The second had about
100000, or 8 per cent. The third
had 18,3OO,OOO, or approximately III
per cent.
