In speaking of -the Liberty .loan campaign cam-paign among officers and" employees of the Oregon Short Line, Mr. Piatt, vice president and general manager- of the company, said: "Subscriptions of officers and employees of the Oregon Short Line in Utah are under un-der .the direction of Chairman Carl Strad-ley, Strad-ley, chief engineer of the Short Line, and the committees are composed of employees em-ployees whose homes are in Utah. "Employees of the Oi-egon Short Line in Utah, numbering 2541, have subscribed $304,550 to the fourth Liberty loan, making mak-ing an average of $120 per employee. "Total subscriptions for the Oregon Short Line, under the direction of Chairmen Chair-men F. H. Knickerbocker, A. C. Hinckley and G. H. Robison. to date, 9975 subscribers; subscrib-ers; amount, $1,026,250; an average of $102.88 per subscriber. For the Los Angeles & Salt Lake. 3449 subscribers; amount, $575,400; average amount per subscriber. $166.83. 11,896 Subscribers.

"Some of the employees have subscribed sub-scribed four different times to the fourth Liberty loan. Mrs. Mary E. Collins, agent at Orchard, Idaho, has subscribed for Liberty Lib-erty bonds in the amount of $3000 and $900 for war savings stamps. "From reports I am receiving today the subscriptions arc going stronger now than at any previous time during the loan campaign, many departments having 100 per cent subscriptions for all employees. The mechanical department of the Short Line is $25,000 more than double what was subscribed for the third Liberty loan. "There is no doubt but what the workers work-ers throughout the country have by their enthusiastic support of the fourth Liberty Lib-erty loan stamped in no uncertain way tlielr determination to send a message to the boys at the front, thousands of whom have enlisted from the ranks of railroad men, that we are squarely behind thepi." (Contiuued from Page One.) doing this they fully realized the requirement require-ment that tile Increase bo at least 80 per cent over the third loan because of the utate's Increased apportionment. This total does not really represent all the work done by tile women. .Many subscriptions sub-scriptions secured by their efforts were reported through other committees, nuch, for instance, as women employees in public pub-lic oftlces. Several hundred thousand dollars more might be claimed by the women If totals reported this way could be secured. Liberty Hank Makes Record.

She mentioned particularly par-ticularly the Liberty Loan band, under the direction of Lorenzo Sharp, which has appeared at the bank every non during the past week and played patriotic numbers num-bers and war songs. As an interesting close to the work or the bank, thero was a concert given yesterday yes-terday afternoon by an orchestra under the direction" of ,F..ldic Fltzpalrlck, and brief addresses by Brlgham H. Clegg and the Rev Klmer I. Goshen. The closing "stunts" to attract the last crowd of the campaign were performed by P. F. Buford. who. In Imitations of Charlie Chaplin, has proved a big drawing draw-ing card for the bank during the drive. Church Committee. The committee on churches, under the direction of Mrs. E. O.

Oversubscription Oversub-scription of the fourth Liberty loan seemed assured tonight when the three-weeks three-weeks campaign closed. While official reports were lacking, it appeared that again the American people have given not only what was asked, but more, in order or-der that the war against Germany and her allies may be carried to a successful success-ful conclusion. Indications are that the number of individual in-dividual subscribers will far exceed 2U, -OOP. 000 ajid break all records for distribution distri-bution of war bonds for either this nation na-tion or any other. How far the total will run above the six billion dollar goal officials would not attempt to estimate. It all depends, they said, on whether big financial interests at the last moim-nt file the big lump sum subscriptiuns expected of them, and Whether the number of smaller subscriptions subscrip-tions by individuals la found to meet expectations. ex-pectations. Now subscript ions entered during the Inst day and those made effective by P&ytoent of the 10 per cent installment, probably will amount to a billion and a half dollars for the entire nation.

These returns will be greatly improved by the heavy subscriptions of Saturday, and, while there is a strong feeling of confidence among Liberty loan executives throughout through-out the country and in Washington, final reports from the banits must be awaited before it can be shown whether or not the desired goal has been safely reached.
