~ FOREIGN BORN BIG BUYERS Of LIBERTY BONDS Pour Out Savings More Gener- ously Than Native Citizens, as Shown by Report of the Treasury Department . WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.— The foreign-born population of America —immigrants within the last gen- eration, and Germans particularly— poured out their savings for Liberty bonds of the third loan more gener- ously, in consideration of their lim- ited fnancial ability, than native citi- zens. * - This is indicated by a treasury re- port estimating subscriptions of citi- zens of 88 foreign nationalities at $741,437,000, or nearly 18 per cent of the $4,176,000,000 total of the jrd loan. e number of bond buyers estimated at 7,061,000, or 41 cent of the 17,000,000 on the roll of subscribers, and the average sub- scription among the foreign speaking population was calculated at $105. Gérmans made the biggest record of all nationalities. Subscriptions ~.actually reported and tabulated by nationalities amounted to $407,790,000, but it was estimated that this sum repre- sented only about 55 per cent of the total, much of which was imeluded in the big stream of general subscrip- tions without designation of the sub- scriber’s nationality. This record was cited by the treas- ury today in support of claims of en- thusiastic patriotism apparent among the nation’s foreign born citizens during past loan campaigns. In nearly every city and town haying many recent immigrants, selling com- mittees already have been formed in preparation for the fourth loan cam- paign which will open September 28 This organization work is supervised by © section of the treasury’s loan bureau, directed by Hans Rieg, an American of German descent, who speaks more than a doztn languages. After the Germans, the Italians, Poles, Bohemians, and Jews turned in the greatest amount of subscrip- tions. The Jewish record, however, is believed to be insufficiently rep- resented by the $16,737,000 re- Ported. SHEEP LOSSE. IN UTAH SHOW BIG DECREASE SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 17.— According to the annual report of George Holman, predatory animal in- spector for the United States depart- ment of agricultural in Utah, $500,- 000 worth of livestock has been saved through the activity of persons kill- ing these wild animals. Bounties of $12,000 will be realized from the furs of the animals killed. The annual loss to the sheepmen of Utah through the work of these predatory animals has been approxi- mately $400,000, but according to C. B. Stewart of the Utah Woolgrowers’ association, the loss this year will be reduced to 40 per cent of that fig- ure. . Wolves in the state have been reduced to about 50, according to Mr. Homan’s report. was per Not Wishing the Yank Any Very Hard Luck iBy United Press] LONDON, Aug. 19.

Captured documents showed that the |German army communications had been seriously interrupted at several points. A report from Metz shows that af- \ter a recent raid when the gas works and a number of other important mil- ary objectices were heavily bombed, a part of the civil population was sent to Luxemburg. | A prisoner’s stated that while he | was in Valenciennes, most of the im- portant factories‘ in that city were | damaged by bombs from the airplanes which wére so high up that they were invisible from the ground.

I should hope so, It wouldn’t take that long!” The confident belief that when “Der Tag"—“the day”—finally arrived, Ger- many would crush her enemies and ac- complish her object within a few months at the outside was held not only by the kaiser but by the people | Senerally and thelr conduct when the war broke out clearly disclosed it. When Germany’s man power was | mobilized, no one in Germany believed | it would be very long before they tivé service as little irksome as pos- sible. “Liebesgaben,” gifts of love, every description, were forwarded to them by their relatives and friends in the most lavish manner, although, of course, at that time the German com- missary was able to satisfy all the sol- | diers’ requirements. One of my patients told me that she had sent seventeen hundred pounds of Sausages to one regiment within a week, and when I asked her why she had been so generous she replied that | her chauffeur was a member of the regiment! | The extent to which the country's resources were squandered in those early months is evidenced by the fact that the soldiers had such an excess of ill-fitting woolen wearing apparel | that they used many of the knitted ar- ' ticles as earpleces and covers for their | horses. No one had the! sfghtest idea ‘that the time might come when the whole nation would-be clothed in pa- per! At this late day it can hardly be necessary to establish how thoroughly prepared the Germans were for the | war, bnt an Incident which occurred in | the early days of the conflict may not | be out of place to show the self-satis- | fled and confident attitude which all the Germans assumed. ‘ Two officers sitting at a table in an out-of-door cafe shortly after the war began overheard one of several ladies | who were passing remark: “Look at | | Why are they not at the front fight- ing?’ . One of the officers got up and, | approaching the ladies, said: “Our work was completed months ago. We worked from early morning till late at night on plans which our armies are now carrying out. It is our time to rest.” y | The resistance thet France would be able to put up was always very lightly | estimated, and if the intervention of England was at all taken into gonsid- eration, the comparatively small army she could place in the field was re- garded as but a drop in the bucket com- pared with the well-trained German horde that was ready to sweep across the border. How could England’s 80,000 men cope with Yon Klwck’s 500,000 or the hastily mobilized French armies re- sist the thoroughly prepared, equipped and well-disciplined German wurriors? It is really not to be wondered at | that the Germans firmly believed that they would bring the allies to their knees within a comparatively few weeks and that the conquering Ger- man armies would celebrate Sedan day, September 2, in Paris. What ac- tually happened is, of course, too well known here to require recital, but I know that the Germans were kept in absolute ignorance of the marvelous resistance the allies were able to put up in those critical days of August and | September, 1914, and to this day the | majority of Germans have not heard of the battle of the Marne!

When Italy took Tripoli from Ture key before the Batkan war I men- tioned to the kaiser how opportunely Italy had acted, but the kaiser dis- missed my remark with an exclama- tion of displeasure, reatizing, of course, that Turkey’s loss was in a sense his own since he had planned to make Turkey his vassal. To that end he had sent German of- ficers to train the Turkish army and had supplied them with guns and ma- Sitions, With an eye.to the future, too, he had constructed the great Bag- dad railway. When the Balkan war broke out in | 1912 the kaiser had gregt confidence | that the German-trained “Turkish army | would acquit itself ereditably and that in the outcome of that conflict his | European program would make cop7id- erable progress.

If they keep on the way they're going they'll be in Constantinople in a week! Con- found those Turks! We furnished them guns and ammupition and trained their officers, but if they won't fight we ean't make them. We've done our best!" The defeat of the Turks lessened |their value to the kaiser as an ally {and he immediately put into effect a jmeasure for increasing the German standing army from 650,000 40 900,000 |—to restore the balance of power, they jsntd.

He oftea spoke of England's “grabbing” pro- pensity and viewed with suspicion our {annexation of Hawai! and the Philip- pines and our development of Cuba after the Spanish-American war. He professed to see in our neW policy a striving after world power which was inconsistent with the principles upon which our government was founded. He objected to our interference in Mexicun affairs, although, as was dis- closed by the Zimmerrmn note to Yon Eckhardt, he was making every effort to have Mexico interfere with ours. “What right has President Wilson to attempt to dictate the internal poli cies of Mexice he as! “Why not let them fight their battles out alone?” Alluding to America’s threat to en- ter the present war, he asked: “What right has America to insist upoa the Monroe doctrine of America and then mix In European affairs?
