Large subscriptions have been reported by a number of the trade organizations and other groups. Six sections of the foreign language division have made cash subscriptions of more than $1,000,000. The German section is leading with a total in excess of $2,000,000. Following is the record of the foreign language division, with seven nationalities not reporting:

German $2,106,650

Felix J. Streyckmans, director of the foreign language division, estimates that the bonds actually applied for by the foreign language people amount to $30,000,000, and he said that this figure would be doubled before the close of the campaign.

The record of the Greek section is considered particularly good, since it represents an investment of $35 for every man, woman, and child of Greek blood.
