Mr.. Juniper that the ladies of the Red

meeting, "and, by the way" he said,
"you know this is a wet town." But

that the home guards would give an
exhibition drill for the benefit of the
visitors, and their work was excellent.
After thirty minutes of drill parade
was formed, headed by our city band,
followed by the boy scouts and home
guards, which marched through the
principal streets, and they were en-
Enthusiastically applauded all along the
line of march. Another pleasant sur

Tarpon Springs to an ice cream par
lor and treated them to ice cream, The
people of Clearwater went out of their
way to show their appreciation to the
visitors who attended the meeting.
During the meeting in the park sew
eral of the business men came forward
and said they would give the boy
scouts the tenth Liberty Loan bond
when they had secured nine others
There was a great interest shown in
the meeting relative to the bonds.
We are proud of the showing that
our boys made in responding to the
call last night. Our troop had more
scouts present than all of the other
troops of the county together. This
was largely due to tie fact that the
two troops from St. Petersburg were
unable to get to TIE meeting on ae-
count of Washeuts in the roads. Only
a few of their boys were present. The
boys of our troops will begin their
canvass for bonds today and we trust

use of his autortruck to take the band,
and those who gave the use of their-
machines to take the boys to the meet
ing. The music by our city band last
night was excellent. Tarpon Springs
should be proud of this organization.

LIBERTY BoNDS THE MOST
CONSERVATIVE INVESTMENT

Liberty Loan bonds are the safest
investments in the world, and the most
conservative bond buyers in the coun-
try will be the heaviest purchasers of
every loan foated," says ]. A. McCord.
governor of the Sixth Federal Reserve
Bank. He added, however, that these
specialists would not have the field to
themselves in the present war loan, as
they did to large extent in. the first
issue.
The great majority of the American
people were at that time unacquainted
with bonds and securities, according to
Mr.. McCord, and needed to be educat-
ed. That they have received this edu-
cation, he said,v was evidenced by the
interest shown by our laboring class
in the Second Liberty Loan.

SEVENTY LIVES ARE LosT-AN-

TRIP - CONVEYING WARsHIPs
QUICK TO REsCUE-NEITHER
U-BOAT OR TORPEDO SEEN

Washington, Oct. 19.-The Ameri-
canarmy transport Antilles, homeward
bound under convoy, was torpedoed
and sunk by German submarine in
the war zone on Wednesday. About
seventy men are missing and probably
lost.
All the army and navy officials
aboard and the ships master were
among the 167 survivors. The miss
ing are members of the crew, three
civilian engineers, some enlisted men
of the navy and seventeen of thirty
three soldiers returning home for va
rious reasons. Neither the submarine
nor the torpedo was seen and the
transport, hit squareiy amidships,
sank in five minutes.
This tragedy of the sea, the first in
which an American ship engaged in
war duty has been lost, is the first of
its magnitude to bring home to the
people of the United States the rigor

German Sub. Gets Ship In MIDI Ocean

American lives and marks the first
success of German submarine attacks
on American transports.
That the loss of life was not great
er is due to the safeguards with which
the navy has surrounded the transport
service, and the quick rescut work of
the conveying warships.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels an
nounced the disaster tonight in a
statement based upon brief dispatch
from Vice Admiral Sims which gave
few details and did not say whether
it was a day or night attack. An ac-
curate list Of the missing cannot be
issued until General Pershing reports
the names Of the army men on the yes
sci and the list of the merchant crew.

Sweden Can Have Seized Mail

patches for the German minister, who
has since been dismissed by Argeu-
tina.
While there are several versions as
to the seizure at Halifax, the facts
were revealed for the first time. 1t
is not fact that the state department
requested the British government to
have the property sent to Washington
from Halifax. This was done by the
British authorities for reasons best
known to them.
Mr.. Ekengren informed the British
ambassador that the contents of the
detained pouches and boxes are all le-
gitimate, but the ambassador demand
ed a guarantee. This guarantee was
offered by the minister, but the am
bassador replied that it would have
to come from the Swedish govern
Iment.
1t was the British view that if salts
factory arrangement is arrived at
with the Swedish authorities the
pouches and boxes will be returned to
Stockholm. intact.
In Swedish circles it was said the
detention is causing great inconveni-
ence, in addition to hating progress
which might otherwise be made in the
negotiations with the United States
respecting exports to Sweden The
Swedish view is that in the seizure
the British authorities have acted con-
trary to the letter and the spirit of
international law and to common Gus
tom.

LIBERTY BONDS OFFER SMALL
INVESTOR DISTINCT ADVANTAGE

The second issue of Liberty Bonds
now being offered to the public is of
exceptional interest to the small inves-
tor for the reason that they bear four
per cent interest and are exempt from
all state, county, city, income. excess
profit or war profit taxes that may now
be in force or that may be levied later.
This is only true where the amount of
bonds held by an individual or cor
poration is not in excess of $5,0O0.00
Where the value of bonds held is in
excess Of that amount, they are not
exempt from income, excess profit or
war profit taxes.
This is one time where the small
investor gets the best of it, and this
feature is expected to make the bonds
very popular with those who have a
comparatively small amount Of money
to invest.
AS a matter of fact, four per cent
investment under existing conditions
that is free from tax is more attrac-
tive than mortgages or other high
class investments bearing a much
higher rate of interest. The Govern
ment very properly considers that any
one who is able to buy large numbers
of bonds is able to pay higher tax
than is the person who can only invest
a small amount.
South Should Buy Heavily
The South is more prosperous than
at any time in recent years. Every
thing that is raised here can be- sold
readily at price that a few years
ago would have been considered I'M
reasonable. No section of the country
has been more. liberal in its contribu-
ton of men, but this contribution OF
1esh and blood will be wasted unless
we are equally liberal with our money.
When the first Liberty Bond issue
was sold, the South's subscription was
not what it should have been. TINS
was largely because of the fact that
Southern people have never been IN
the habit of buying bonds of any KIND
to the extent that prevails in the
North. and East We. are now more
familiar with securities of this kind,
and it is expected that our record on
this second issue will be very much
better.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 19.-Swed-
ish Minister Ekengren car procure the
release of the three mail pouches and
two boxes now held at the British en-
bassy in this city when h.. presents
from Stockholm an absolute and for
NAL guarantee that they contain moth
ing of an unfeutral nature.
These pouches and boxes were TAX
en- off a steamer at Halifax some time
ago by the British authorities. St,ong
protest against the sci .ure was made
by DR.. Mailman Lundvohm of the
Special Swedish mission, who acted as
courier and was to have turned over
the pouches and boxes to Minister Ek-
engren.
Mr.. Ekengren, too, entered pro-
test. He took the matter up with AM
bassador Spring-Rice of Great Brit
ain and with the state department.
Today the minister called at the
state department and requested that
q cablegram be dispatched TO Stock
holm in the Swedish official code urg-
ing that steps be taken to secare the
release of the property involved.
When the articles were seized the
technical reason given was that the
seals did not indicate clearly whether
they had been put on by the Swedish
foreign office and were thus entitled
to diplomatic immunity. DIR. Lund-
vohnl presumably has a diplomat
status as special commissioner.
Great Britain is understood to take
the ground that Sweden, by past
abuses, has forfeited the right of dip
lomatic immunity.

posed the Count Luxburg intrigue by

plants are made that Bulgarian divis-
ions were compelled to march long
distances on foot while favored Ger
man troops rolled past them in trains.
The German attempt TO maintain
control of Bulgaria's single coal field
has excited much unfriendly comment
also in Bulgaria, and Field Marshal
Won Mackensen is charged with ia
voring the Roumanians at Bulgarian
expense. Furthermore, the press con-
troversy in certain German newspa-
pers in which the Serbian claims to
parts of Macedonia were defended ap-
parently has left an indelible impress
sion of distrust on Bulgarian public
opinion.

Upon receipt of the cablegram from
Admiral Sims the government kept its
promise not to withhold bad news
from the public.
Z The issuance of the statement was
delayed only until the navy could tel
egraph to the families of the men
known to have been lost.
Secretary Daniels carried word of
the loss of the Antilles to the White
House when he went there late in the
day with Admiral Mayo, who made his
report to President Wilson to his
visit to England at the direction of the
president. The news added to the
gravity Of the hour that the secretary
anA Admiral Mayo spent in confer
nee with the president.
Quick upon the wave of lsorrow at
he news of the loss of the transport
came a feeling of distince relief be-
cause she had met her fate home
ward bound and not on the way over
with troops. The only soldiers on
board were returning to the hospital
or on special assignment. Had the full
complement of the transport been
aboard, the loss undoubtedly would
have been written in hundreds.

The sale of the second Liberty Loan
bond issue at this time has been hailed
in many quarters as being particularly
timely. This applies especially to peo'
pie who are anxious to make Christmas
gifts Of unusual value, because they
will be able, by making small payments
from time to time, to acquire Liberty
bonds before the arrival Of the holiday
season.
