CRUISERS MOVES
Remain SECRET

Where is the U. S. s. st. Louis?
She was not at Pearl Harbor on
Sunday and is not at this port today.
Inquiry at the local United States
naval station on Allen street did not
result in throwing any further light
on the cruisers movements.
The Naval Militia Of Hawaii did not
cruise on the St Louis Sunday. They
went over to Pearl Harbor on cruise
with their steam cutter.
Capt. George R. Clark, commandant
Of the Pearl HarbOr naval station, said
over the telephone at 1 o'clock this
afternoon that he is not allowed at
present to give out any information
concerning the movements of United
States men-of-war.
It is generally believed here that the
St Louis is now at anchor off La
hama, accompanying the third sub
marine division, which left for the
Maui port q week or more ago to en-
gage In regular practise work.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Do you wear
glasses? Are you a victim Of eye
strain or other eye weaknesses? II
SO, you will be glad to know that ac-
cording to Dr. Lewis there is real
hope for you. Many whose eyes were
failing say they have had their eyes
restored through the principle Of this
wonderful free prescription. One man
says, after trying it: Il was almost
blind; could not see to read at all.
Now can read anything without any
glasses and my eyes do not water
any more. At night they would pain
dreadfully; now they feel fine all the
time. 1t was like miracle to me"
A lady who used it says: THE atmos-
phere seemed hazy with or without
glasses, but after using this prescrip-
ton for fifteen days everything seems
clear. | can even read the fine print

thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in a reasonable time and
multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes SO as to be

Hawaii's militia is assured OF fed.

ing compulsory military training bill
passes congress. according to a dis
eovery made few days ago by local
militia heads who were looking over

The federal training bin would with.

organizations after five years. but
there is provision excepting Hawaii
and Porto Rico. II the bin does not
pass, the present provisions for sup

The situation. ii Is held. justifies the
national guard here in asking that the
territory cooperate with the federal
government in a definite scheme for
building up the organization.
The bill proposes To form q strictly
federal army making it compulsory for
every man to undergo military train

An article in the Army and Navy
JournaI is resume OF the bill, writ

eral of the general staff, chief of the
war college division, to the. chief OF
staff. The part relating to the state
militia Is as follows:
The plan centemplates strictly

some provision must be made for the
states. until they will have organized

Sixth Federal Bank District Has High
Hopes On Selling United States
Liberty Bonds

President Wilson, the cabinet and
congress are keenly awaiting news OF
the subscription for Liberty bonds,
which the government has issued to
help in the war.
The sale has been arranged through
the Federal Reserve Banks and &C
cording to their districts. Our dis
trict, the sixth, includes Georgia, Flor
ida. Alabama and approximately half
of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. Few sections of the United
States have such varied resources.
From the orange groves of Florida to
the steel mills of Alabama, and from
the cotton fields Of Georgia to the
rice plantations Of Louisiana and the
stock raising section of Tennessee al
most every kind of crop and manu-
featuring industry can be found. 1t
will be strange indeed If the people Of
this prosperous section are not
among the largest purchasers of Lib
efly UOuuS.
The government will be very great
~ disappointed unless this great sec
ton ranks at least third in the volume
of it's purchases of Liberty bonds.
Bankers Of Atlanta, Birmingham, New
Orleans, Macon, Chattanooga and
Jacksonville as well as in every small
town in the district, agree that when
the total figures are announced that
the Sixth District will be found to
have done its full part.
But every man, woman and child
must participate. Bonds sell as low
as $50 and as high as $4,000
Make the war loan the chief subject
of discussion in your home. Make sure
that each member of your family
sees his or her duty and opportunity
clearly.
Make up your mind today. Don't
let it be said that you withheld your
help in time of your country's needs.

Buying Liberty Bonds Is
Not An Act Of Charity

When you buy United States Lib
erty War Bonds you are not giving
away anything. Your act of purchas-
ing is not an act of charity. What
ever money you have you possess be-
cause you have lived and worked in
the glorious United States. Today the
United States needs ready money to
help win the war, to provide food,
clothing and transportation for our
soldier boys. So our government says
to you: Loan us $50 or $780, or what
ever amount you like, and we will pay
you 31s per cent annual interest (pay-
ments every June Is and Dec. 15), and
in addition to that we will pay you
back the entire amount you lent u.s.,
Also, if the interest rate on our bonds
goes up, we will advance your interest
to the highest rate"
That's a fair, square proposition.
You can't lose. The United States
helped you get what you have, and it
is both patriotism and good business
on your part to loan the government
some of your money now. Order
United States Liberty Bonds from
your banker or your broker. Do it
today.

Don't Be Afraid Of Bonds;
They're Like Gold 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 l don't buy $1,000
things every day. 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 a
bond is the safest investment on earth.
On the United States Liberty Bond
you get 31a per cent interest, payable
every June Is 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 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 a
grocer who wouldn't be just as glad to
take a United States Liberty Bond as
he would to receive gold coin.
If you haven't already ordered your
United States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today.

U. S. Liberty Bond Button
Is Your Badge Of Honor

Every man, woman and child who
buys a Liberty bond will be given a
government button to wear. This
badge of honor will be a sign to the
world that its wearer believes in the
United States, in freedom, in man
hood, in Righteousness, and has shown
his faith by his works. Many of us
are not able to fight, but there is
hardly any one who cannot buy at
least a $50 Liberty bond. Remember,
too, that this $50 is not a gift: it is a
safe and sound investment, free from
taxation, paying interest and repaying
the principal in full, You can't lose.
If you do not buy, both you and
your country will thereby be losers.
Don't be milestone around your coun-
try's neck. Order at least one Liberty
bond today.
