Liberty Loan Subscriptions.
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.
