Kecorded 104.000.000 gobitrlptlon lteqatred 16,000,000 Campaign Days Left 1S Employes of the Bethlehem Steel Works, South Bethlehem, launched a Liberty Loan campaign this morning and adopted, "$2,000,000 within seven days" as their slogan. This club wire organlied by Walter C. Janncy, with tne co-operation of officials of the com pany. Thirty thousand" men will par ticipate and similar clubs will be or ganlied In other plants of the company;. This morning announcement was made that 6000 individual subscriptions have been obtained in the Philadelphia Department of Public Safety. John II. Mason, vice president of the Commercial Trust Company, says women are responding to the Liberty Loan appeal with more spirit and en thusiasm than men. "Wc have ob tained 'more than 700 subscriptions at our bank," said Mason. "A majority of the subscribers arc women, who have subscribed for amounts that vary from $50 to $100,000." Philadelphia leads the country In the number of Liberty Loan subscribers. More than 33,000 men and women, the greatest number of new bond buyers ever recorded In nn American city, have re sponded to Uncle Sam's appeal for funds. Augmenting this army of patriots nre nearly 30.000 from other sections covered by the Philadelphia campaign. In all more than 60,000 persons are directly Identified with the Philadelphia campaign, which puts ' the city In first place In the nation-wide Liberty Bond sale and establishes n new record for American financial campaigns. This number represents a careful esti mate made by persons close to the cam paign. They assert that the figures are conservative and believe a genuine tabula tion of bond buyers would disclose more than 100.000 individual subscribers. The subscriptions vary from the popular $10 Liberty Bond to allotments of $1,000,000. Although It Is difficult to arrive at any definite figure concerning the distribution of the bonds, It Is generally conceded that the ISO and $100 bond buyers will make up the vast majority of purchasers. That the "lit tle fellows," as small investors nre styled, will actually put the bond sale over In this district is the belief of the campaign man ager! Never In the history of the country has there been such a response from the peo ple. One can gain an Idea concerning the effectiveness of the campaign when he con aiders that at the start of the Philadelphia campaign less than three weeks ago there were less than 300,000 bond buyers in the United States. Developing a bond-buying field was the problem which Philadelphia bankersand bond men tackled, and In less than three weeks they have won by their advertising and personal solicitation cam paign more than 40,000 new buyers. BANKS BIG HELP The success of the campaign Is due In a large measure to the banks and In dustrial plants At the outset of the cam paign they enlisted for Bervlce and organli ed Liberty Bond clubs. In more than eighty banks of the city It Is possible for a man to buy a $50 bond on such easy terms at $1 down and $1 a week, while many of the Industrial plants have gone a step further and put In operation schemes which make it possible for week workers to buy bonds at the rate of GO cents a week . The Pennsylvania Railroad offers the best Illustration of what this plan has done toward the success of the campaign. A eek ago the company subscribed for $5, OOO.OOOand Informed its employes that they could buy the bonds on nn easy payment casta.' More than half this allotment has already been sold to the workers and the railroad Is considering the purchase of a econd $5,000,000 allotment. The Victor Talking Machine Company originally subscribed for $260,000, but em ployes made such a demand for the bonds that this subscription has been Increased to "early $750,000, The Franklin National Bank organized a Liberty Bond club for Its clients, and re Porta that Individual subscriptions total more than $4,500,000. At the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Cramps' Shipyard, Reading Railway, Mld jaie Steel, Stetson Hat and scores of other concerns similar clubs have been organized. POLICE AND TEACHERS Philadelphia policemen, school - teachers Md. In fact, all branches of the city serv ice have entered, and from each group the reSpOnSe IS almOKt linnnlmm.a In mamr nf the police stations every man has bought a wnd, and the same situation prevails among the firemen. vT E' Loomls President of the Lehigh aii Rallroad. In a circular letter to 25, W employes explains the Importance of uii small Investor to the Liberty Bond cam Mlm by saving: "If the full amount is not raised and raised quickly the war will unquestionably greatly prolonged with Its Increased taxation and other serious burdens for very one. The responsibility rests upon all American cltiiens. It Is the duty of every man who can to buy a bond.
