marine insurance companies mere
knew details of the sailing OF General
Pershing's troops.

ing worked out 1t will be the CHER

Services and will not be. surpassed
even by the German Bureau at Berlin.
Z. Legislation was discussed to give
the President power to isolate the
United States by forbidding any per-
son to leave the country or send mes
sages during troop movements.
While all official Washington was
puzzling it's head to determine how
German spies could obtain information
of the movements of American troops
a letter received by a high secret serv-
ice official showed how, through their
marine insurance agencies, the Ger
mans are able to learn the inmost de-
tails of American plans.
1t seems that steamer carrying am
munition and supplies for England left
New York with the transport feet. In
the Narrows it collided with barge
and a hole was stove in the side, neces-
stating Bleaching the ship. The rein
surance on the vessel had been placed
with German companies. They sent
their men out to inspect the ship. In
going to the ship these agents passed
the transport fleet, then ready to sail.
This information was then spread
broadcast through insurance circles.

SECOND LIBERTY LOAN
 CAMPAIGN IN FULL SWING
Chairman X. Goldsmith or Any Banker Will Take Your Subscription
 For Liberty
 Bonds.

The second Liberty Bond Campaign is now in full swing and Little River county is expected to do her part. The country is prosperous and the govern ment to win the war must have money. You may not be able to fight, but those who do not fight must support those who do.
 Some of the points to consider fol- low:
 If any sentimentalist should answer that he does not care to lend his money and "send our boys to death abroad" We may truthfully tell hum that every dollar he now gives will mean a drop of American blood sav- cd.
 Pacifists and pro-Germans can not stop our American soldiers from going abroad. Our boys will go-and more will go, and still more,-until the de- cisive day. The harder we strike, the sooner that exodus will end.
 1. loan. You lend your money at interest, you do not give it.
 ?. Easy payments.-A few dollars down buys bond. Bankers and en- rloyers everywhere arrange payment of balance out of savings.
 g. Superlative saiety.-The promise tc give you your money back, prom ise signed by all our 11O,00O,O00 people including the signature of every multi .aill:cna re in America. Your bond is like a mortgage on the whole United States.
 4. Safe keeping.-Absolutely safe in any honest bankers vault; safer anywhere than currency, .or it is plainly 6. receipt for money you de- posted in the Treasury O: the United States.
 5. Tax Free.-No tax as long as you live on any purchase not above s G0O
 6. Market y:lne.-You can sell your sond or borrow on it on moments notice.
 '. The Government is no richer than the people. We need the $50 of the average man. All patriots must help.
