Prom Our Own Correspondent APIA, July 10.

THE Samoan Ad ministration re cently invited large and small investors to sub scribe to the New Zealand Third Lib erty Loan. It was felt that, in view of our prosperity, and the money lying idle in the safes of many merchants and restauralnt keepers, the re sponse would be good; but no one expected the mag nificent results that were achieved.
