As the third Liberty Loan was clos-' ing tonight the treasury announced the campaign has been "an overwhelm- ing success." Although $3,000,000,000 was the formal goal of the campaign, official reports, including only a small proportion of day's avalanche of pledges, showed the total as $3,203,- 655,400 and there were indications that the aggregate would be increased to nearly $4,000,000,000 next week, when banks have time to tabulate the multitude of last minute applications. The exact'result of the campaign probably will not be known until late in the week. Official estimates place the number of subscribers at between 12,000,- 000 and 15,000,000 far above those of either the first or second Liberty Loans. All 12 federal reserve districts over- subscribed, and the majority of the states made the same record.

AMERICAN TROOPS RAID1 TEUT LIS Carry Out Attacks on German 600- Yard Front South of Hallo- ville EXPECTED TEUTON RAID NEAR VERDUN NOT MATERIALIZED .4 Sammies' Artillery Completely Levels German Positions; Blow Up Enemy Works (By Associated Press) With the American army in France, May 4.-American troops in the Lor- raine sector yesterday morning carried out a raid on the German lines south of Halloville on a 600- yard front. After an intense but brief artillery preparation, the infantry, accompanied by pioneers, went over the top and penetrated the German positions to the third line. They found not a single German. The attack was on a German salient. The artillery completely leveled the Germans' positions and the pioneers finished the job by blowing up all the enemy works, thus eliminating the salient. A German raid, which was expect- ed would be carried out on the sec- tor south of Verdun, failed to mater- ialize." "AMAZONS" TICKET COMMITTEE NAMED The ticket committee for "The Ama- zons,'. the play to be presented on Thursday and Friday night in Sarah Caswell Angell hall, has been appoin- ted by Masques. Its members are to conduct a campaign in the league houses, fraternity and sorority houses, and the dormitories. Tickets for the public will b'e available at Wahr's, Sheehan's, the Busy Bee, and at the Student's Supply store on South Uni- versity avenue. In addition, they will be sold on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, in University hall and the Library. The Amazons embodies Pinero's light, whimsical treatment of the "mannish woman" idea, and is one of his most brilliant productions. The cast, which contains some of the best talent on the campus, has been pre- paring for several weeks under the direction of Professor J. Raleigh Nel- son. The play will be produced under the auspices of the Women's league. WILL NOT CALL '18 SANITARY ENGINE RS BEFORE GRADUATION Senior sanitary engineers will not be called into service until the end of the college term, according to a message received from the war de- partment yesterday by Prof. A.

TO RE-TRY EVADER SENTENCED TO DIE Camp Custer, May 4.-Camp Custer has the rather doubtful honor of hav- ing sentenced the first man in the national army camp to "death by shooting." But the prisoner, Theodore Kal- las, of Detroit, will not be shot for some time, thanks to a technicality of the law. His com- manding officer, Captain Lamar, who signed the charges, also sat on the court martial commission, so the entire proceedings are void. Kallas will be retried. He was a draft evader and even after he had been apprehended and brought to Camp Custer, he refused to serve.
