City Laughs as 1t
Digs Deep to Put
Loan ''Over Top
F inal Hours Take On Ap-
pearance of a May Day
Carnival

New York put it's last dollar into
the Liberty Loan yesterday with three
cheers and brass band. The money
came fast from crowds that laughed
as they dug into their pockets, and
made game of the business of of go
ing to war. However, much of serious
ness there was underneath the laugh
ing manner, it did not show in the
crowds that greeted each bond sub
scriber with gleeful shouts, and the
ringing of Liberty bells. The loan
was oversubscribed, and everybody
knew it, but, with sporting generosity,
Uncle Sans outstretched hands.
Fifth Avenue made May Day carni-
val of the last hours of the loan. Crowds
swirled around Liberty booths which
had sprung up overnight at every cor
ner, and made narrow, winding lanes
of what is usually the magnificent
stream Of Saturday.
By mid-afternoon the buses gave up
the struggle and took to the Madison
promptly preampted the whole street
laughed.
Blue Devils Boom Loan
The French "blue devils" sent the
crowds into spasms of delight Perhaps
it was their day at the ball game which
taught the visitors the same trick; any
way, they stood on top of their buses,
waving their bayonets like American
cheer leaders, and the courtly but cum
bersome "Vive lAmerique!" Of their
first day gave way to "Ya-y-y-ay,"
with Paris accent.
Next, the crowd had to greet a
truck load Off American sailor lads,
who gave back cheer for cheer, and
grnned as a woman cried, "God bless
EN-" American aeroplanes dropped
clouds Of white leaflets, and gave ora
tors chance to point a moral about
Boche airplanes and the real air raids
that imperiled May Day in London
and Paris. Anzacs, too, took part in
the last drive.
1t was just the same inside the de-
partment stores and hotels, and it
wasn't safe for anybody with nervous
indigestion to try to eat in any of the
big restaurants, for even there the
Liberty Loan scouts made the air re-
sound With their pleas.

Marathon Loan Drive Finishes
With 100000 Sale Record
Thirty-six-1our Meeting Ends Midnight When Liberty
Ball Rolls Up-Bands and Speakers Make Night
Resemble One of Odtime Revelry

Their voices husky and broken and
with eyes that would not stay open, the
members of the Marathon Loan Drive
team staggered across the finish line at
Times Square last night bearing win
ner's purse Of S7,000,000 to Uncle Sam.
The ten members of the committee,
captained by Jerome A. Meyers, got
their rally off to flying start at noon
Friday. With a kaleidoscope array of
speakers and singers relieving each
other at half-hour intervals the meet
ing was kept going without let-up for
thirty-six hours, and ended at midnight
last night, when the Liberty Ball and
it's two footworn custodians rolled up
and announced that the big show was
over.
The hundreds of bond buyers who
gathered at the meeting displayed al
most as much endurance as the work
tres closed, after the cafes had bowed
their belated customers into the dark
ened streets, after District Attorney
Swann's owleyed spoilers had chased
the nighthawks of the Tenderloin to
roost, into the small, still hours of the
morning, the crowd fingered on.

at the booth and offered to buy break

The Liberty Coach, which has seen
the three barred "full quota" flag
raised over many towns on its 500
mile journey from Buffalo to New
York with the Liberty Ball, clattered
into City Hall Park yesterday after
noon just in time TO see the banner
symbolic of the fact that the New York
loan had at last gone over the top dis
played on the facade of City Hall.
The 200 French "Blue Devils" and
sailors from Pelham Bay made an in
spring setting for the presentation
and unfurling Of the banner. Frank D..
Lyon, of the coaching party, and Act
ing Mayor Alfred E. Smith had just
finished addresses, when Arthur NJ. An
derson. director OF distribution of Lib
ertv bonds for the New York District
arrived with the flag:
"The United States Treasury has dis

crowd came cheers.
Miss Marion Hollins, who drove most
of the way from Buffalo, was on the
box tooling the Vanderbilt horses.
The party descended from the coach
and mounted the steps of City Hall.
Frank D. Lyon presented Mr.. Smith
with bundle Of proclamations from
the mayors of the cities through which
the coach rolled.

Lyon. 1--WE feel that it has been a

per cent of the eighty-four towns had

of the Liberty coach"
Mr.. Smith said:
"This coach, named Liberty, comes
to us with an atmosphere of the great
world struggle, 1t has been closely as
sociated with the places now behind the
line in France. It's four horses are
doing their share to avenge the death

up, so far as possible.
The Holly Sugar company. Operat-
ing on the western slope. has pre-
pared the 1918 contract providing for
fiat rate of $3.50 per ton. which is
$3.50 better than last year. The east.
ern slope companies paid a sliding
scale last year, but are considering the

be better deal for the grower than
the sliding scale. Had the growers
here been paid last year on a sliding
