A Low Value on
The Postal Bonds.

Washington. Nov fi.--As a result
of The first sale of postal savings bonds
in New Yerk recent 1T the low rate,
of go the trustees of the postal saw
ings banks are considering the adop-
ton of prompt methods TO maintain
the securities at their face value. They
will announce their Willingness short
~. Il is expected to invest in these
bonds at par, the 30 per cent. of pos
tai savings deposits which the law
places at their disposal for invest
ment lin bonds or other securities of
the United States"
This, it is pointed out, would virtual
ly insure 100 cents ON the dollar to the
holders of these bonds at any time
during the 20 years life of the securi-
ties. The low price for which the first
bonds We're sold created surprise in
government financial circles. If 92.5
could be accepted as a criterion of tha
market value of the investment. the
trustees believed the success of the
postal system. designed to bring into
the open the hoardings of timid say
ers and encourage savings among all
classes would. in large measure, be
placed in Jeopardy.

One of the prominent members of

the Imperialists are deserving steadily,
some of them becoming rebels while
others are proceeding northward with
their loot.
