to Buy Bonds for Relief.

AS result OF the mile of nickels"
campaign held on children's day last
Saturday, when the children of Wash
ington dropped small coins into the re-
piica Of the Liberty Bell at the corner
of Madison place and Lafayette Square.
three 500 liberty bonds Of the second
loan were bought from the proceeds of
the day, which will ultimately go to
the fatherless children of France.
I For the present only the 4 per cent
interest on the bonds will go to the
French children. but 1t is expected that
a sale of the bonds in the future will
net more than the $500 invested. and at
that time the money in American gold
will be sent to France. A total of s29.-
600 was taken in at the Liberty Bell
booth on the last day of the loan, this
being the largest amount received on
any day since the booth was erected.
