THERE'S MONEY IN IT.

A liberty loan is no donation. It is
the commodity is to be consumed and
the money lost. A government bond 10
the United States governments prom
ise to pay with 3la per cent interest.
Patriots are asked to loan money to
Uncle Sam because it is the safest
Kind OF loan known to the civilized
world today. When Uncle Sans note
is no good no property can have much
of any value in this country Farms
Will be confiscated and live stock driv-
en- away. Title records will be de-
stroyed in the court houses and cor
ner stones obliterated as has been done
in the invaded regions of France and
in Mexico. So long as Uncle Sam is
good for the money he borrows there
vii! be a government TO give protec-
ton TO property rights in America. A
loan to him is a prior lien or first
mortgage on everything else in the
United States endorsed by everybody
else in the United States.
Liberty bonds are the safest thing
on earth and they may prove highly
profitable as we'll. Government per
cent bonds have sold at a premium
If the war should end within two years
these 81 per cent bonds would go to
10 or lis within five years. II they
sold at rs Ave years from today the
profit would average 8 per cent for
each year. Add per cent to the 3ls
per cent interest and the speculative
chance is that Ii berry loans may earn
6I2 per cent on the safest security on
earth.
Figure out now much money your
corn and your hogs will bring at war
prices more than they would have
brought before and loan your war pro-
fit 10 Uncle Sam at Sls per cent prob

something for liberty, your person. your

HIGHER PRICED TIONS

HIGHER PRICED PUBLICATIONS.
Des Moines Register.]
Many people refuse to recognize the
c!anor over the sudden rise in the cost
of print paper as any different from
what they are hearing about the rise
in the price of groceries or OF steel.
But there is a difference, and a
serious one. for while prices may have
risen as radically in many other lines.
in no line has the existence OF great
business been threatened as the pub
fishing business is now threatened.
The American Banker does not ex-
aggerate when it says: Since the cost
Of print paper scared skyward many
publications in this country have found
it difficult to make both ends meet, and
some have been compelled to suspend.
Our whole American newspaper ana
periodical circula ton has been built up
on cheap print paper. Cheap print
paper thus far has been made ex-
clusively of wood pulp. Nothing cheap
enough has been found to take the
place Of pnip. For reasons that are OBJ
vious this has restricted paper manu-
facture to a few mills favorably To-
Gated. While the demand for paper
has increased enormously the capacity
Of the mills has not increased.

than they paid few years ago. and

Washington, Sept. 11.-Secretary
Daniels announced late today that a
typographical error in the cablegram
describing the encounter between the
steamer Westwego and hostile subma-
rines had made it appear that six
submarines had been sunk and that,
in fact, the report said one of the
submarines probably had been de-
stroyed.
Secretary Daniels late today issued
the following statement:
MY attention is just called to
serious error made in transcribing
the report OF the attack made on the
Westwego and other vessels. gave
the report to the press this morning
exactly as il was presented to me,
stating that two of the steamers at
tackled were sunk and probably all Of
the submarines were lost The cable
gram ! now find stated that one OF
the submarines probably was lost"
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-09-13

ant ships across the Atlantic had
been adopted and since the Westwego
and the other merchant craft which
were the objects of the submarines
attack were bound for Europe, it is
regarded as more than probable that
American warships guarded the
merchant ships on the way across.
Deadly Depth
Bombs.
American warships all have been
equipped with depth bombs for fight
ing submarines. This weapon has
been highly perfected by American
ordnance experts and proved very
deadly.
Most Notable Action
of War.
If detailed reports bear out the
first dispatch they will signalize the
most notable action against subma-
rines since the war began. In no
other case has such wholesale de-
struction of U-boats been reported.
1t also will mark most striking vic
tory for the American naval forces.
The Westwego had an experience
with a German submarine before the
United States entered the war, hav-
ing been attacked by on January
last while off the coast Of England
She was proceeding from an Ameri'
can port with a cargo of oil for Eur
ope, when submarine fired five
shots at her from astern. The West
wego's captain, ]. S. Mulcoy, brought
his vessel to stop and sent boat
with his papers, whereupon the Ger
man submarine commander demand
ed supply of oil, threatening tC
sink the ship if his demands Were
not complied with. The submarine
commander also demanded that tn!
vessels s1,000,0O0 cargo OF gasolin;
be thrown overheard, saying h
would give Captain Mulcoy until tn,
next morning to comply. Four bar
rels of cylinder oil were sent to tn
submarine and the Westwego pro
ceeded. She saw no more of tn
submarine.

convoy, but no details of the right
were included in the reports. No
loss of life was reported, nor were
the names of the two ships sunk in
cluded in the dispatch. 1t is not
even known whether they were
American ships or not. The navy de-
partment has cabled for further in
formation.
The Westwego, an oil tank steam
er, was built in Germany in 1914 for
Rumanian account under the name
of the Steaua Romano. Later her
registry was changed to American
and afterwards her name was made
Westwego. The vessel was of 5000
tons net and carried a crew OF forty
two. Latest reports Show she was in
an American port August s and later
sailed on transatlantic voyage
commanded by Captain Mulcoy.

Convoy.

that American destroyers were con
voying the ship. that is believed tc
be the fact
