Liberty Loan Subscriptions.
Reading edition
Liberty Loan Subscriptions.—The German element passed heroically the test of their loyalty in the amounts subscribed to the Third Liberty Loan for the prosecution of the war, and, as usual, they far exceeded the record of other racial elements. The Central Loan Committee gave out a summary on May 3, 1918, which showed the following subscriptions:
Germans $18,000,000
Polish 9,500,000
Bohemians 440,000
Italians 8,500,000
Swedish 420,000
South Slavs 149,000
Russians 145,000
Lithuanians 66,500
Danes 281,000
Armenians 190,000
Belgians 700,000
South Americans 5,825,000
Chinese 31,000
The subscriptions of the English and French are not given. A letter addressed to the Central Committee for a more complete report, embodying the subscriptions of all foreign-born citizens, brought the reply that the figures were not available, and no comparison is therefore possible of the relative amounts given by the French and English-born.
