Of OFFICES
FOR COLORED VOTERS
May Ask W. G. Taylor
What Places He Would
Give to Negroes
MAYOR CAN MAKE BUT
FEW APPOINTMENTS

In a desperate effort to win the sup
port OF the Negro voters in this city,
William G. Taylor, j. Frank Allee's
candidate for the Republican mayor
atty nomination, is making all sorts
of promises to them which, men who
have heard him say, he cannot pos
sibly fulfill
1t is asserted that at meetings OF
Negroes held in several OF the wards
Taylor has addressed them substan'
TALLY in thees words:
You men are entitled to much bet
ter positions in the municipal service
than you have been receiving at the
hands OF the Republican party. Nomi-
nate and elect me to the office OF
Mayor. and 1 will direct my energies
toward getting better eity positions
fOE you. II is not right that those OF
you who obtain political appointments
should be compelled TO do sweeping
and scrubbing and the cleaning OF
cuspidors. You are fitted for better
things and you ought to have them
1t is asserted by friends OF Mayor
Price that Mr.. Taylor knows he would
have no positions for the Negro vot-
ers unless, perchance. he should make
one Of them his private secretary and
appoint others Of them as members OF
the Street and Sewer Commission, the
Water Commission, the Board OF
Health and the Harbor Commission.
Il think it would be well for Mr.
Taylor. who is practicing a gross de-
ception upon the Negro voters, TO be
called upon to say specifically TO what
positions he will appoint them in
event OF his nomination and election
an experienced public official said to-
day. IF some intelligent Negro were
to ask him for a bill OF particulars
bearing upon that point, the reply
would be exceedingly interesting both
to white and to Negro voters"

Germany holds no reason for an Of
fenslye against America. but viii not
forego her present use OF submarines
for peace.
The war can be ended only on the
basis that no dishOnOrable terms be
inflicted upon any nation.
These expressions were obtained
today by the United Press from the
two most diverse elements IN Ger
many-the Government and the So
cialists.
The Governments view OF Americas
entrance into the war was given in
a statement authorized by the Foreign
Office through the United Press.
Philip Schcidemann, Socialist lead
er. voiced the views of the other ex-
IRENE element which has been most
active in recent peace. propaganda.
Both defended Germanys use of the
submarine as her most potent means
Of defensive warfare, and Scheide-
mann gave expression 10 the basis
upon which the peace he has ad-
mittedly been advocating, must be
based
The Foreign Office does not regard the
torpedong Of American ships within the
danger zone prescribed by Germany. as
a hostile act, as all countries werg warn
ed of its existence. The government re.
CARDS this submarine warfare as its most
valuable weapon and it will be continued

AMERICAN SHIPS TORPEDOED
ONLY IN THE DANGER ZONE

within the announced area IL was
pointed out that American ships were
being attacked only in the danger zone.
Scheidemann regarded President VIII
sons attitude as "mcomprehensible' and
declared that had the President contn-
ued his efforts for an understanding be-
tween the bclligerents. the war would
have probably been ended long ago.
81 expect good results from the con-
ference of socialists at Stockholm''
Scheidemann said. "but the war can be
ended only upon a basis that no dishon-
oablo terms be inflicted upon any ma
ton.
The Foreign Office statement followsf
"As repeatedly declared, Germany
holds there is no reason for an offensive
against America. Germany is torped0-
ing American ships-but only in the
danger zone. so does not consider this a
hostile act. since all countries have been
warned.
"The submarine warfare Is proving
one Of the best means of defense for
Germany and the war will be continued
within the restricted zone.
"The obligation that Americans report
10 the police is a Just measure under
taken by Germany against a nation
warning on her. America Is treating
Germans in a similar fashion. Ameri-
cans are otherwise unhampered in Ger
many
This Is the first intimatlon that

As Good as Cash

In some ways the Liberty Bonds" are
even better than cash-they are in much the
same class as United States Bank Notes
are. almost as liquid as checking account at
your bank-and they pay you three and one
half per cent interest. Your banker will
take your bonds as security for loan
No investment you hold can be safer, and
no other bonds enjoy such broad and ready
market in case you wish to sell. You can
get your money practically as easily as you
can withdraw it from savings bank and the
right to convert it into higher rate bonds
gives you absolute protection of income.
Bonds of every issue the United States
Government has put out haye at some period
sold far ABOVE the issue price. So it is al
most certain that if you continue to hold
your bonds you will not only get 81 per cent
tax free income but also have an opportunity
to realize profit on their sale

Greater Prosperity for You
Most of the proceeds of this first Offering
will be loaned by our Government to the
Allies-but not dollar will leave this coun.

This money will be used to extend credit to
the Allies that they may continue to enter
our markets and pay us for the products of
our farms and of our factories 1t will come
back to finally in payment for labor and
materials. 1t will broaden the market for our
goods, increase the demand for what we have
to sell, speed up production and vet guard
against over: production.
Later on, it will make our Government the
worlds biggest customer for our own prod
ucts because practically the entire $2,000,-
100000 will come back for re-deposit in our
banks to be used in payment for what our
farms and factories produce. In Short this
great loan will quicken our industrial pulse.
and make for bigger, better business not

IN ASKING you to subscribe to the
L to the Liberty Loan," your Govern
ment does not ask you to SPEND your
money. Instead it holds out to you an
opportunity to SAVE and to INVEST.
1t merely asks for the use of your ready
cash. 1t offers to pay we'll for the privi-
lege and to give you in return the safest
investment in the world-a United States
Govern1net Bond.
When you invest in Liberty Bond' you
get signed promise to pay" backed by the
total resources of the richest nation on the
face of the globe-a nation whose wealth is
recorded at the astounding figure of $780,,
000,000,o00, or only $4,000, 100000 less than
the combined wealth of Great Britain,
France, Germany and Austria Hungary.
You get the bond of nation whose yearly
income is estimated at $50,O0O,O0O, 900, or
twenty-five times the present loan-one
whose per capital wealth of 81, 500 is larger
than that of any other power and whose per
capita debt, even after the present 50, ,OOO,
100000 loan is sold, will be about $50, or less
than one. tenth that of either Great Britain,
France or Germany. To bring the debt per
person in the United States up to that of
Great Britain ($376 per capita) it would be
necessary to increase our debt to the as
founding total Of $4,000, 100000, or twenty
times the present lOan

In Multiples of $50

Liberty Loan Bonds may be- secured in
multiples of $780, This makes it possible for
every earning person to share in this great
investment The bonds will bear 81 per cent
interest and will be dated June IS, 1917, with
interest payable semi i-annualy, December Is
and June IS. Bonds will become due in 80
years and redeemable in Is years.
Should the Government put out any future
issues at an interest rate higher than 81 per
cent before the close of the war, the Liberty
Loan' will Immediately become convertible
into higher rate bonds.

Exempt from Taxation

Our Government has made these bonds ex-
empt from all state or federal taxes Except
ing, of course, estates and inheritances) and
thus it affords an income of 81 per cent ab-
solutely net to you, regardless of the amount
of your income.
You may have bonds of $100 denominations
registered; thus eliminating any loss from
theft and making it possible for you to re-
ceive your interest direct from the govern
ment rather than presenting coupons at
