CZECHOSLON AkS IN BALTIMORE
 BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

The Czechoslovaks have been buy ing war savings stamps. On the oc- casion of Professor Masaryk's recent visit to the Czech people of Baltimore, $75,0O0 worth of the baby bonds were subscribed in a single day by them. And this was not all The campaign in Baltimore is not ended, and new subscriptions are pouring in regularly.
 According to available figures. the Czechoslovaks hold third place among our foreign-born peoples for subscrip- tions to government loans. They bought about $3l 100000 worth of Third Liberty Bonds, exclusive of the subscriptions of workmen in mines and other outlying places. So it ap- pears that the Czechs are not willing to rest on the laurels won by their fighting men in Russia and Siberia.
 They are making their dollars work too.
