admiration of thousands that crowded
at every point of vantage.

the serial numbers and seal are print
ed in blue instead of carmine. as for
merly. In the upper left hand corner
of the face Of the note is the inscrip-
tion, Secured by United States Bonds

distinction fom the old kind.
Thus far. only the s. denominations
have been issued, but II is the purpose
of the department TO substitute the
new form for the old as fast as new
currency is taken out. as the law re-
quires that the emergency notes TO be
Issued shall be Identical in all respects
