the Liberty Loan. There were
found to be in the service 81 men
of Turkish nativity, and 43 of
these, or Al percent, of the total,
bought Liberty Bonds.
The smaller countries allied
with the Central Powers were not
very we'll represented among en-
ployes of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. On all divisions put to-
gether, the Bulgarians employed
numbered only 81, and no record
can be found that any of these
purchased Liberty Bonds.
Some interesting facts are
shown in connection with other
nationalities. The Scotch stand
high on the scale Of thrift. Out
of 247 Scotchmen 155, or 65 per-
cent, invested savings in the
Liberty Bonds.
The Canadians followed closely.
Out of S3 men of Canadian birth
40, or SO percent Of the total,
bought Liberty Bonds. There are
only 40 Frenchmen in the service,
and of these "a, or very nearly
one-half, were subscribers. Of
men of Belgian birth, II were
found to be in the service, five of
whom, or al percent, subscribed to
Liberty Loan Bonds.
Other buyers Of the bonds in
cluded such diverse nationalities
as Swedes, Slavs, Spaniards, b.
hemians, Swiss, Roumanians, Nor
wegians, Hollanders, Danes, Cub
ans. Firms, Greeks. Australians,
Portuguese, Serbs, Syrians, South
Americans, West Indians, Arabs,
Armenians, Persians, Africans,
Ukranians, Costa Ricans and
Croats.
Two japanese and two China
men were found to be in the SER
vice, but none was recorded as a
Liberty Bond buyer.
The inquiry brought out the i'm
portant fact that since the Fall of
1914, the Pennsylvania Lines East
of Pittsburg have sustained net
loss of 1877 employees of foreign
birth, as a result of men returning
to their native countries for mill
tary service, or obtaining employ
ment elsewhere in America, at
tracted by the higher wages offer
ed by industries which have been
able to take advantage of economic
conditions.

BUYERS OF
LIBERTY BONDS
Pennsylvania Company An
nounces Some Interest
ing Figures

To ascertain the extent to which
railroad employees of foreign birth
subscribed to the first Liberty
Loan, a special investigation has
been completed on the directly
operated lines of the Pennsylvania
Railroad East of Pittsburgh and
Erie. The result of this inquiry
shows that out of a total of 100,
127 employees, in all Departments,
25,827 were born in foreign coun-
tries. There were, among all the
employes-both native and for
eign born-52,782 subscriptions,
totaling more than S3,400,000.
Nearly one in three Of the for
eign-born employees was found to
have been a Liberty Bond pur-
chaser. The number of subscrib-
ers of alien birth was 8,146, or
almost 80 percent of the total
foreign-born. This was within
two percent of the proportion of
employees of American birth who
subscribed.
The inquiry also brought out the
interesting fact that there are, in
the service of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, men of AZ different
nationalities, besides native-born
Americans; and members of 30
alien races were included among
the buyers Of Liberty Bonds.
The Italian race furnished the
largest number of foreign-born
employees on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the number being 1866,
or practically one-third of all the
alien born. Thirty-two percent of
the Italians, or a total of 2,725 en-
ployes, bought Liberty Bonds.
Employees of Irish birth were
found to number 3,139, of whom
1929, or 43 percent, subscribed to
the Liberty Loan. English born
employees numbered 1875, and 663
of them, or 36 percent, were sub
scribers. Out of 2,466 men of
RUSSIAN and Polish birth, I9O, or
36 percent, invested in the Liberty
Loan.
Of the nationalities represent
ing the Central Powers, employees
of Austro-Hungarian birth were
shown to be the most numerous.
They aggregated 3,977 men, and of
these 1907, or 27 percent, SUBJ
scribed to the Liberty Bonds. The
Austro-Hungarians rank next to
Italians in respect to the total
number employed.
Of men Of German birth, the
Railroad payrolls carried the
names of 1900, and of these $50,
or 32 percent, were subscribers to

LOANS MI SAVINGS.

when the history OF the Ameri-

Il will be written the account Of a

ing 10 prudent saving. II will con
tain the account OF a nation that
while giving freely Of is wealth.

ceived more than II gave.
Yes, great as will be the money
outlay necessary for the successful
prosecution OF this wer. the snlid.
enduring benefit 10 the people OF
this country will be infinitely great
cr.
In the nrst place, II has caused Us
10 take stock Of our resources. A
~prodigious demand has caused US
10 reach out for an equally huge
supply. But unlike the flush per-
iods Of former years, when the
added resources have been pro-
duced, they have not been wasted
In needless extravagance.
All over this broad land, from
ocean 10 ocean and from lakes TO
gulf, thousands upon thousands OF
men. women and children have en-
tered upon a life OF frugality that
has for lis object the accumulation
Of n or more liberty bonds. Mill

ments the terms Of which will run
for many months 10 come.
II Is all but impossible 10 estimate
what this self-enforced economy
will do for our people. Viewed
merely in the light Of the financial
benefit 10 tho different individuals.
The results must necessarily be stu
pcndous. But going further and
considering the stabiliEing effect up
on the nation a. a whole. the re-
suit assumes the proportions OF an
economical revolution.
No nation Of people ever yet sue
ceeded In building a stable national
edifce upon extravaganza. II mat
ters not, how vast the resources
they must In time succumb 10 the
lavish hand. Only prudence and
frugality can lay a substantial foun-
dalton for the national life.
We are aware that the life Of our
people has heretofore been tending
toward prodigality and that their
phenomenal success would tend 10
disprove the foregoing assertion.
But there Is a reason. and Il issfound
In the comparative newness Of the
country. Heretofore Il has been
easier 10 reach out after untouched
resources than 10 conserve those al
