fail, state directors.
official figures give the state a safe
margin over its quota of SIS, $3.50, ,2S0 and

Oklahoma led the states of the Tenth

OF quota subscribed from the opening

state to have its quota officially sub
scribed.
Although the official reports have
not yet had time to get in from every

every county statement from head

Washington, May 1O.-The fifth ant

that the American people had responded
to the appeal to finish the job,
Like all of its predecessors, the Vic
tory Liberty loan suddenly jumped on
the last day of the campaign above the
mark set as it's limit. The day
brought an avalance of subscriptions
which banks could not attempt to count
until next week. None of today's har'
vest was included in the total of SO,

lated tonight by the treasury, and of
ficials mould not be surprised to see
the final figures go to nearly six bill
lions. Only S4,5O,OOO,OOO will be ac

The only guage by which officials
could estimate subscriptions not yet
tabulated was provided by the record OF
the fourth Liberty loan, when $2,392,-
100000 was reported after the sub
scription drive had ceased.
Officials figures tonight showed that
the Minneapolis, St. Louis and Cleve-
land districts already had raised more
than 100 per cent and the Chicago
district reported that it's quota certainly
had reached that mark, although tabu-
lation OF figures to support the claim
could not be completed.
The Dallas district, which had been
tagging in its subscriptions, reported
at the opening of today's business that
it probably had so per cent of its quota
and the outlook was excellent for
100 per cent subscription.
