BIG APPETITE FOR
SAFE INVESTMENTS
Between Twenty and Twenty
Five Million Bond Buyers
Take Billions IN Short Pc
.-s~x5n

Pessimists who shake their heads
and join the chorus of 81 dunno" boys
at the prospect of floating fifth Lib
,erty Loan in April are administered a
Knockout by figures which have re-
Gently been compiled by officials OF
athe Treasury Department at Wash
z2ngton.
The figures give an idea OF just
how big an appetite for safe investment
this country has attained in its war
year. Some of the more striking OF
the figures referred to follow:
A bond market which had less than
:. 100000 customers two years ago had
q at the close OF 1918 between 10000
900 and 25Oc0 900 buyers. The army
,pf buyers absorbed s11,15S i65.S5o
worth of bonds in Liberty Bonds alone
, in 1918.
In the two years Of the war-count.
ing the first and second Liberty
Loans which were fioated in 1917
these bond buyers digested total Of
< 1854 .329.S50 in Liberty bonds.
This healthy condition of the bond
market is explained, perhaps. by the
fact that the entire indebtedness Of
the United States today amounts to
slightly less than per cent of the
estimated national wealth. The ma
tional debt amounts to only about
$40 per capita.
Some of the national debts are:
Great Britain, 44.3 per cent cent. OF
national wealth or $3.50 per capita;
France, 41.25 per cent Of national
wealth or $4,000 per capita; Austria.
sf,SS per cent of national wealth or
. s242.sO per capita land Germany, 1877
per cent of national wealth or $505.S0
per capita.
These figures on Germany are ex-
elusive of the nirth war loan. accu-
rate returns of which never were had,
and In the cases of both Austria and
Germany no account is taken Of any
indemnities which those nations will
have to pay.

SOLID SECURITY
FOR YOUR BONDS
It is the Wealth of This Great
Country Somewhere Near
Hundred and Fifty Billions
Of Dollars.

How many holders Of "Libertys"
realize fully the security that is back
OF that property they own?
It is the wealth Of the richest ma
tion Of the earth.
Here's but a glance at what that
wealth comprises.
With 6 per cent of the worlds
population and per cent Of the
worlds land America owns of the
world supplies:
70 per cent of the copper. h
81 per cent of the coal. =
20 per cent of the gold.
66 per cent of the oil.
40 per cent of the iron and steel.
80 per cent of the silver.
so per cent Of the cotton.
Is per cent of the wheat.
60 per cent Of the corn.
30 per cent of the meat supplies.
Other mineral and agricultural pro-
ducts in proportion.
Today Europe owes US $4,000 ,000,-
600; four years ago We owed her near
ly half that.
Lastly our annual income, that OF
all the people and industries, IS today
something like $7O.000,000,O00 annual
" and our national wealth close to
$3.50, 100000.

BY Winning Yesterday Ath.
Ietics Are Sure of Coping
the Honors
FOUR HITS FOR BURNS

Connie Mack's bunch of ambitious
athletes won their first series of the
season yesterday. They clinched the
series of games with the Baltimore club
by .c6pping the fourth contest by the
score of 11-J.
There will be a game today out at
Shibe Park between the same teams.
but it will mean nothing in the young
lives of the players. for Comics gang
have the laurels already locked away
in the safe.
The game yesterday was repletc with
good and bad playing. At times the
players made almost impossible stops
and throws. only to fall down on an
easy chance the following inning. The
warm weather had pleasing effect on
the hitting, and twenty hits in all were
registered.
Tioga George Burns, who spends his
afternoons around the initial sack for
the Mackmen, was the high light in
the offensive. George waltzed to the
plate five times and on four occasions
came through with safe hit. The
first two were singles while the third
and fourth were doubles. He was over
anxious in his final stand and rolled an
easy grounder.
Connie was given a ray of hope in
the ''Tilly" Walker mystery yesterday.
The star outfelder didn't show up, but
his trunk did, so Connie is expecting
''Tilly' to make an appearance some
time today.

AT LAST PENN HAS
HARD-HTTTZNG CLUB
Quakers Look Like Sluggers Collecting Fifteen Hits
against ursinus-Red and Blue Crecs Leare
Tomorrow for Annapolis
BY EDWIN j. POLLOCK

DEM bats played merry, loud and
continuous tune on the old horse
hide in the opening game of the sea E
son on Franklin Field yesterday after
noon, and little Ursinus's reputation
was smcared to the extent Of a Al de-
feat.
If the batting manners of Roy
Thomas's new ball club can be taken as
a criterion of the form which will be
displayed throughout the season, it can
be said that at last Penn has a hard :
hitting aggregation, rarity in college
baseball.
1t is seldom that a college produces a
team that can hit. Such clubs in the
collegiate field are few and far between.
The last one that appeared in the
Quaker stadium, as far as we can re =
member, was Joe Dugan's Holy Cross
nine that shell -holed the outfield with
base hits three years ago.
Every One Hits
There were fifteen safeties gathered
off the delivery of Paul Isenberg by
the Quakers yesterday and every man
in the Penn box score came through
with one or more wallops with the ex
ception of Carmack, who substituted foI
Dan McNichol at first base in the ninth
inning, but did not get turn at bat.
Danny McNichoi and Furrnan War

three safctics each. Paddy Bohan haC

1t does not necessarily follow that
because Penn hit 1senberg that the Rec
