London, Oct. 4.—Eleven British
merchantmen of more than 1,600
tons each and two vessels under
1,600 tons were sunk by mines or
submarines last week, according to
the British admiralty statement made
public last night.
(The following admiralty state
ment again lowers the aggregate of
British merchantmen sunk by mines
or submarines during any week
since Germany began her intensified
submarine campaign. As against
fifteen vessels sunk the previous
week, which was the low record
since February, only thirteen mer
chantmen are shown to have been
sent to the bottom last week.)
The total of all losses to world's
shipping since Germany's ruthless
U-boat war went into effect aggre
gates about two-thirds of those
claimed by the Germans in a state
ment issued September 1. At that
time the Germans alleged that an
average of 900,000 tons had been
sunk monthly for seven months.
The actual totals of tonnage sunk
compiled here show that not even
during the most successful month
for the U-boats—April—have the
figures reached any such proportions,
while the August losses dropped to
almost half the April figures.
Washington, Oct. 4.—Navy officials
deprecated to-day publication of re
poits that go too far in either direc
tion as to the progress of the cam
paign against German submarines.
There is no reasonable ground, they
said, for feeling that the submarines
have been definitely beaten because
the announced losses have decreased
recently, while on the other hand
there is nothing in the present situa
tion that warrants serious appre
hension on the part of the allies.

HARRISBtJRG TELEGRAPH
A LIBERTY LOAN PRIMER
FOR SMALL INVESTORS
By Herman L. Collins (Girard)
IX
Philadelphia Telegraph
What is a Liberty tjond? It Is a
bond of the United States Govern
ment.
Why is it called a Liberty bond?
Because the proceeds of the Dond will
help defeat the Prussian tyranny and
insure liberty for you and your chil
dren.
Should I buy a Liberty bond? I
should buy one for two reasons. It is
the best investment in the world. It
is a duty to lend a dollar to my coun
try If I have a dollar and my country
needs it.
Do I give this money to my coun
try? No, I only lend it.
Can I get my money back? Any
day I want it.
Can I be sure that I shall get it
back? Surer than I would be if I in
vested the same dollar in any other
property in America.
Why? Because the United States
has the power to levy unlimited taxes
upon all the people and upon all prop
erty over any number of years to pay
its debts. #'
Did the United States ever refuse
to pay off one of the bonds when it
became due? It never did.
Do United States bonds usually sell
for more than their face value? After
the Civil War no United States Gov
ernment bonds ever sold for less than
par and they generally sold far above
the price paid -for them originally.
Did Civil War bonds go up when
the war ended? They did.
Can I borrow money from a bank
on a Liberty bond? Any bank wil?
consider a Liberty bond a sounder se
curity than any mortgage or any city
bond or any railroad bond.
What makes this Liberty bond so
sound? It is baiked by the greatest
combined wealth behind any security
ill the world.
How much wealth? The country's
wealth is seventy times as great as
tMs total issue of $3,000,000 of Lib
erty bonds.
Can our country pay the bond in
terest out of the country's income?
Yes. the total sum earned by all the
people of the United States is $45,-
000,000,000 a year, which is fifteen
times as much as the bonds them
selves and 375 times as much as the
annual interest.
How many days' income of our
people will be needed to pay the In
terest on all the Liberty bonds in a
year? One day.
Could our farmers buy all the Lib
erty bonds? Yes, their output in 1917
will be four times the amount.
How does corn alone compare with
these bonds? Our corn crop this year
is worth twice as much as the whole
of this second Issue of Liberty bonds.
Is there as much gold back of Unit
ed States Government bonds as back
of England's France's and Germany's
bonds? I''ar more.
How much more? The United States
has more gold than is contained in
the Bank of England, Bank of France
and Bank of Germany combined.
How does America's debt compare
with those of England, France and
Germany? England's debt equals a
quarter of that country's total wealth.
Germany's debt equals a quarter of
its wealth. France's debt equals now
a third of its ttal wealth. But at
the end of our first year of war, next
April, our total debt will not exceed
one-tenth of our nation's wealth.
Is our debt for each person smaller
than the debts of European countries?
Far smaller.
How much smaller? Each Briton's
share of his country's debt is now
more than S4OO. Each German's share
of Ills country's national debt is $350.
Each Frenchman's share of his coun
try's debt is SSOO. But after we have
sold Liberty bonds for the first year
of war or up to $20,000,000,000, each
American's share will be only S2OO.
Does America pay off its debt? It
paid off the debt of the Revolution
completely. It paid oft every dollar
of that of the war of 1812. It paid
off tile Mexican War debt. It speedily
paid off two-thirds of the Civil War
debt.
Why did It not pay oft all the Civil
War debt? The law had enobled na
tional banks to use those bonds to
issue bank notes and it was deemed
unwise to pay oft the bonds and wipe
out the bank notes.
Are Liberty bonds as good for a
poor man as for a rich man. Better.
Why? The rich man will have to
pay an Income tax on the interest he
gets from his bonds; the poor man
will not.
Is it expensive to buy a bond?
Does not cost a penny.
Can a bond be sold quickly? In two
minutes.
Can 1 exchange my first Liberty
bond which pays three and one-half
per cent, interest for a new bond
which will pay four per cent.? Yes.
How much will that exchange cost
me? Not even a postage stamp.
Who will do it for me? Any bank,
banker or broker.
What do they get out of it? My
thanks, but nothing else.
Why do such bankers and other
men like Mr. Stptesbury give bo much
time to selling Liberty bonds If they
get nothing out of it but thanks?
That is part of their volunteer serv
ice for their country. They fight with
their brains, their time and their dol
lars, as their sons fight In the
trenches—all against tho common foe.
How can I help? By rigidly de
termining to economize a bit more
ti. the future and so pay for a bond
out of what I save.
Must I sell sohiethlng else to buy a
bond?' By no means. That would not
help.
How then? By future saving, not
by past savings.
Is saving a good habit? Rockefeller.
Carnegie, Morgan, Gould, Rothschild
and even old Croesus would never
have been rich had they spent all
they made.
Nearly every college endowment,
every hospital, every free library and
every public institution of that kind
represents in the main somebody's
saving.
No boy was ever educated, no sick
man ever cured and no knowledge
thirsting man fed with literature by
spendthrifts, like Death Valley "Scot
tie" and Coal Oil Johnnie Steel.
GIRARD.
