Investors in First Loan
Troubled by Delay
In Delivery of Bonds

II developed yesterday that many
prospective purchasers of the Liberty
As were holding back their subscrip-
tons pending delivery Of the first
Liberty Loan certificates. Many inves-
tors are complaining that although
they bought and paid for the ~ per
cent bonds brought out in June. they
have yet received nothing more than
an interim certificate. Others. who
purchased the first loan through de-
partment stores, have in many in
stances nothing more to show than an
ordinary receipt.
This has made many persons, not
conversant with the machinery Of the
loan operation. anxious, and in some
cases they have refused TO buy the
new bonds until they know where they
stand with regard to the old issue of
3 Us. Lack of information regarding
the way in which the 3 l2s may be con-
verted into the new 4 per cent issue
has also tended TO cause confusion.
The Liberty Loan Committee an
nounced that holders of the interim
certificates and definitive bonds of the
first Liberty Loan will be able to CON
vert them into 4 per cents beginning
November l. The conversion can be
effected in two ways. One is by turn
ing in the bonds or certificates of the
first issue TO the banks. which will then
obtain the new As from the Federal
Reserve Bank. The other is by apply
ing direct to the Federal Reserve Bank.
In both instances the bond issue divi-
sion of the Federal Reserve Bank will
handle this business.
The tsx-exempt provisions of the
new bonds were set forth in the fol-

Munitions Men Evaded
$17,5OO,O in Taxes

WASHINGTON, Oct. l7.-Internal
revenue agents have reported that eva
sions of the special tax of l21s per
cent by munitions manufacturers have
totalled so far approximately $l750O,-
600. More than 100000 Of that
sum already has been recovered by the
government.
The amount OF tax voluntarily paid
by the munitions manufacturers last
year was approximately S26,30O,00O.
Field Investigators, checking the re-
turns, notified them that in many cases
the amount was far below the sum
actually due the government.
One of the methods said to have
been used in returning minimum taxes
was TO charge off large percentage
Of the value of a plant under the head
of depreciation. in some cases the en-
tire value Of the plant was said to have
been deducted from the profits OF the
concern, representations being made
that at the end of the war the plants
would be Of no further use. The prae-
tice is said TO have been quite general
and TO have been followed by some of
the largest manufacturers

British Cannot Get
War Supplies Here
At Official rices
Shell Orders Wait Because Gov
eminent Cannot Enforce
Own Price Dictum
tStah Ccrrespondcneel


WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-President
Wilson's appeal to American manu-
facturers to sell war supplies to the
Allied governments at the same prices
as those paid By the United States has
been ignored by certain large steel and
munitions producers. The British
mission has been unable for this res
son to close contracts here for six
inch shells that are urgently required
on the West front. American manu-
facturers insist that il is not a ques-
ton Of price. Their explanation is thai
they are oyerwhelm lined with American
orders, and cannot supply the British.
The main fact is that the British are
not being supplied
The British war mission occupies a
delicate position in this country. It
cannot criticise conditions. However,
American officials are much perturbed.
Criticism is not directed at the War
Industries Board, although il Is ad-
mitted this governments advisory pur-
chasing organization has not yet full
filled all the hopes entertained at the
time of its creation. Nor is any one
public official the target for criticism.
Rather is the total absence OF gov
eminent purchasing organization, with
powers 10 do war business, the subject
of unfayorable comment.
President Wilson has told the
American manufacturer that he must
sell TO the Allies at the same prices
as to the United States. But he has
no authority in existing law TO enforce
this dictum.
The government purchasing system,
it is being recognized more and more
each week, is inadequate TO handle
the stupendous commercial operations
involved in the expenditure Of the
money appropriated by the last Con,
gress to supply both this country and
the Allies with war supplies. The out
come, i. is predicted, will be the cres-
ton Of real War Industries Board

try only a short time, having spent the

est reliance on them to bring victory

The suffragists of New York State

day at state headquarters.
At yesterdays matinee in thirty-six
