scouts after they have been playing

A story in the Boston Herald said that
q message signed by close friend of
Ambassador Won Bernstorff had been
sent to Germany from government

in a German newspaper, was described
as being virtually direct appeal to
German oficialdom to take no action

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Feb. s.-The
import of iron and steel from Germany

Holland are running very low and certain

only possible from America or Sweden.
Delivery periods. especially in America,
however, are SO long that it is said to be
practically impossible to draw supplies

BUY BONDS


Every man, woman and child who
enjoys the blessings of this common
wealth should seriously realize that
he is a unit Of the whole. II We do
not at once contribute some portion
of the prosperity which our country
has made possible for us, We are not
doing our share to assist our allies,
and we may suffer defeat which will
impose upon this country such a
conqueror's indemnity as will lose
our hard ron freedom for genera
tions.
There are over 100 million men,
women and children in this country.
OF whom It is estimated that there
are more than 40 million persons
engaged in gainful occupations.
1t is vitality necessary for each OF
these 40 million persons to realize
the danger and the opportunity and
to subscribe a portion Of his pos
sessions to this second Liberty loan
Of 1917.
During the war with Spain the
United States government sold
5000, 100000 worth Of bonds at 100
cents on the dollar, which we're
oversubscribed seven times. and
were quoted Immediately at pre-
MUM. Two years after the war the
price OF 800 bonds went to s111.
thus bringing profit to the holder
Of II per cent, besides the regular
interest
The Liberty loan of three billion
dollars will be fully subscribed. but
its success will not be dependent on
its being fully subscribed.
Like the first Liberty loan. it
win be successful only If it is sub
stantially oversubscribed and the
money comes from the right sources.
What are the right sources?
The best source is the idle money
now kept in safe deposit boxes. and
at home. At the same time the per-
son who has money in his safe de-
post box can Immediately better his
position by buying these govern
ment bonds. He will receive four
per cent on his money which is not
earning anything now for him. He
will lose nothing in security.
The next best source is current
savings. This applies to the rich
and the poor. 1t is just as neces-
sary for you with an income of 49,
900 year to subscribe for your
share of the Liberty bonds as 1t is
for John D. Rockefeller with his
supposed income OF 80 million dol
lars year to take his proportion OF
the bonds out of his current saw
ings.
When you buy Liberty bond you
are saving a part of your income
exactly as II you deposited the
money in savings bank. You are
helping your country too.
