LIBERTY LOAN OVER SUBSCRIBED MANY SUBSCRIPTIONS COMING IN TOO LATE. the Countrys Ringing Answer to Call for Funds, the Oominsnt Note wae the VoicejOf the Small Investor, Who Responded Nobly In Washington. The American people have responded to the governments call for funds to finance the war with an oversubscription to the two blllirtn dollar liberty loan. In the countrys ringing answer to the call, the dominant note was the voice of the small Investor. His money talked the last day bf the campaign In eloquent; terpisT .The hope for a widespread response of the average man with the "average .Income was more than realized In the multitudes that fipeked to the banks on June 15. Estimates from the twelve reserve districts indicate that the subscriptions will reach the total of $2,204,000,- ogo. Secretary McAdoo announced the oversubscription shortly after .the closing of the books in the east. "The Liberty loan has been oversubscribed, he said. "It-- is Impossible to state the amount of the oversubscription, but the exact figures will be givenout as rapldly as theretnrns are received at the treasury department Thousands of subscriptions came too late to the federal reserve banks. These, by Secretary McAdoo's instructions, will be tabulated separately and the total forwarded to Washington. Just what disposition will be made of them has yet to be determined. It is possible that where It can be shown that their failure to reach the reserve bank In time was due to no fault of tnc subscriber or the forwarding bank some of them may be accepted. Whether the' subscriptions are allowed or not, it Is felt that they manifest the willingness of the subscribers to answer the governments call' and should be shown in thq total of what the American people offered to take.
