DON'T Be AFRAID OF BONDS;
THEY'RE LIKE COLO COIN

Don't get scared when anybody says
bonds" One reason why most peo-
pie know very little about bonds is
that usually they cost around $1,000
each, and you and don't buy $1,000
things everyday, But our United
States is now issuing United States
Liberty Bonds that cost as low as $50,
and it's high time now to learn that
bond is the safest investment on earth.
On the United States Liberty Bond
you get 31a per cent interest, payable
every June 16 and Dec. is, and also
you get your entire principal back.
United States Liberty Bonds are GER
tain to become as numerous in the
United States as gold pieces. They
will have a wide and ready sale. Any
time you need money, you can take
your bond to the bank and get it.
There isn't a real estate dealer any
where, or an automobile maker, or
grocer who wouldn't be Just as glad to
take United States Liberty Bond as
he would to receive gold coin.
II you haven't already ordered your
United States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today.

ACTS OF TREASON
Toledo News Bee1

Toledo News-Beel
The activities of the federal De-
partment of Justice the last few days
indicate that no mercy is to be shown
those persons who either directly, or
indirectly, interfered with the mill
tary registration on last Tuesday.
The selective service law, under
which every male citizen between the
ages of 21 and 80 are compelled to
register, on that date provided severe
penalties for interference with its op-
Grafton.
But entirely aside from the penal
ties provided in the selective service
act. THERE is A FEDERAL LAW
AGAINST TREASON.
Treason is described in the federal
code as giving aid and comfort to the
enemy in time of war. The penalty
for treason in certain cases is
DEATH.
1t is not at all unlikely that the
Department of Justice will put the
charge of treason against those who
are the most active in the nationwide
conspiracy to defeat the spirit and
letter of the selectiVe service law and
press for extreme penalty in the most
aggravated cases.
Certainly there could be no worse
form of treason at this particular
juncture of our war with Germany,
than the attempt to prevent the rails
of an army to fight the enemy.
Without a doubt, if the man can
be located who gave Germany the tip
about the sailing of our torpedo boat
hotilla. thus enabling the Germ"
submarines to mine the port of des-
tination he will be tried for treason
and Put to death.
And yet that mans unspeakably
vile action was not more treas
enable than what those men are do
ing who are attempting to prevent or
delay enrolment for selective service.
The enrolling, selecting, equipping
and training of our army of 2,O00,-
900 men in 18 months, is the most
stupenduous task ever undertaken by
the United States government.
The military situation in Europe is
so uncertain, So fraught with peril to
this nation, that every day, every
hour, every minute, is priceless in its
relation to our military preparation
and effectiveness.
1t may we'll be that year from
now, by far the greater part of the
burden of the fight ito make the
world safe for democracy" will have
to be borne by the soldiers who are
selected from those who enrolled last
Tuesday.
The murderous war lords of Ger
many coldly calculated that the only
way the United States could raise an
adequate and efficient army, was by
some form of conscription and that
there would be enough opposition to
conscription of any sort to keep us
from becoming effective until too
late.
The men in this country, who are
trying to delay the carrying out of
the governments military program,
are playing the game of the German
war lords.
They are just as much traitors to
their country as was Benedict Arnold.

There's story now current, tho
strange it may seem,
OF the great Kaiser Bill and his Won
derful dream.
Being tired of the allies, he lay down
in his bed,
And amongst other things he dreamt
he was dead,
And in fine coffin was lying in state,
With a guard of brave Belgians, who
lamented his fate,
He wasn't long dead till he found to
his cost,
That his soul, like his soldiers, had
surely been lost.
On leaving the earth to Heaven he
went straight
And arriving up there gave a knock
at the gate
But Saint Peter looked out, and in
voice loud and clear
Said; "Begone, Kaiser Bill, we don't
want you here"
We'll" said the Kaiser, that's very
uncivil,
l suppose after that l must go to the
devil?"
So he turned on his heel and off he
did go
At the top of his speed to the re-
gions below.
And when he got there he was filled
with dismay,
When waiting outside he heard Old
Nick say
To his imps; Nov, look here, boys,
l give you warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
in the morning,
But don't let him in, for to me it's
quite clear,
He's a dangerous man, and we don't
want him here.
If once he gets in there'll be no end
Of quarrels,
In fact, I'm afraid he'll corrupt our
good morals"
20, Satan, my dear friend" the Kais-
er then cried,
Excuse me for listening while wait
ing outside.
If you don't admit me, where can l
go?"
Indeed" said the devil, 81 really
don't know"
Oh, do let me in! I'm weary and
cold,
Said the Kaiser, quite anxious to en-
tor Nicly's fold
Let me sit in a corner, no matter
how hot"
mo" Said the devil, most certain
ly not.
We don't admit people for riches or
pelf;
Here are sulphur and matches, make
a hell for yourself"
Then he kicked Wilhelm out and van
ished in smoke,
And just at that moment the Kaiser
aWoke.
He jumped out of bed in a shivering
sweat.
Ana said: We'll, that dream I shall
never forget
That l won't go to Heaven l know
very we'll,
But it's really too bad to be kicked
out of He'll"
