WASHINGTON, May 3 The Liberty Loan total to-
day reached $2,838,317,300, with partial reports from yes
terday's business. The Chicago district is the fourth to go
over the top with subscriptions of $453,640,850 to cover its

Indications now arc that every State west of Mississippi
has subscribed its quota, although official reports to substan

Last night there was much bombing activity on both sides,
the Entente airmen inflicting heavy casualties.
The Australians carried out successful minor operation ml
Villers-Bretonneux during the night, while the Canadians mopped
up a strong post, taking seven prisoners and five machine funs.
Further north the British rushed a machine gun emplace
