tina, there are more than fifty or sew
enty five Americans in all Germany, II
there are that many.
All efforts TO obtain any intorma
ton as to why the two men at Ant
werp have not been allowed to de-
part have failed.
The department statement announce

the fact that no obstacle has beer
placed In the way of Germans wish i
ing to leave America. This general!
was construed as an intimation tna'
some measure Of reprisal might be
adopted in the event that Germany
persists in ignoring the right of Amer
leans to leave her territory.

Of Ed Wegener, former Valley Junction
saloon keeper, in the famous Charles

cred other facts not set out in the
records of the trial.

ing.

WAR BONDS FOR ALL.
Plan Evolved For Sale of Liberty Loan
Issue on lnstaIlments.

New York, May 2s.-To enable per-
sons of small means to buy Liberty
loan bonds on an installment basis,
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, in conjunction with the Liberty
loan committee, is perfecting plan
for the issuance of participation certi-
iicates ii was announced last night
The certificates probably will be in
denominations of $40. They will bear
the same interest as bonds and may
be exchanged for bonds when the
holders accumulate the required $50
worth.
Altho 1t Is not proposed to have the
certificates negotiable in the sense Oh
the $40 bank notes, the committee
points out that they may become so In
course of time, this depending entirely
upon merchants and others to whom
they may he rendered. The commit
tee expresses the hope that stores will
buy the certificates and sell them over
the counters to persons who would
like to buy bonds, but whose means
will not permit them TO invest as much
as $50. or 500 at one time.
Another plan to enable persons OF
small means to purchase bonds was
announced by the League Of Co-opera-
tive Savings & Loan associations,
operating under the National Defense
share law which recently was ap-
proved by Governor Whitman Any
individual with 81, the league has de-
cided, may purchase bond on install
ments. with the understanding that
the balance may be paid at the option
OF the buyers at any time within
year

Governor Procjaj,ns
Week Of May ~ A.
Liberty Loan Week

Commonwealth Of Iowa, executive
department, Des Moines. proclama-
ton to the people Of Iowa: BY virtue
OF the authority in me vested, here
by bring to the attention Of the citi-
zens Of the commonwealth Of Iowa the
movement to make 'liberty loan week
a period Of nation wide patriotic re-
Spouse and urge that Iowa occupy her
customary place in the vanguard of her
sister states.
Our country Is at war with a foreign
nation, not as a matter of choice, not
for conquest, not for greed of gold and
not because of malice or hatred: but
rather to maintain our self respect, to
preserve to our people their guaran-
teed rights and to perpetuate and ex-
tend the principles of democratic gov
eminent so well established in our own
country and so essential to the liberty
Of mankind everywhere.
This war is contest between democ-
racy on the one side and autocracy on
the other for control of the world. If
we lose now by our inaction or unpre-
paredness all the fighting and suffer
ing of the revolutionary and civil wars
will have been fought for naught.
Our patriotism Is on trial and the
test is whether or not our people Will
help with their accumulated wealth by
loaning it to the government in this
trying hour \ kindly Providence and
a government in which the individual
is supreme have made all our people
happy and prosperous. Now, in order
to preserve this liberty, it is our patri-
otto duty as people to assist the gov
eminent by helping with this wealth
that is ours.
This is an hour when you can render
real service to your country and to
the world. If we do not respond with
our accumulated wealth now, in the
days to come IL will mean the sacrifice
Of untold thousands of lives of the
young manhood Of our state and coun-
try.
No loyal citizen will concern himself
now about acquiring more wealth. His
whole thought should be to preserve
the principal and give the federal gov
eminent the benefit of whatever use
can be made of it. Property is as
nothing when human life is at stake;
human life is as nothing when the fate
of democracy Is in the balance. J.,
therefore, call upon all our citizens 10
respond to this liberty loan" 10 the
point that Ii becomes q sacrifice.
All banks and bond houses are au-
thorized by our federal government to
receive subscriptions 10 this liberty
loan" The bonds have been issued in
denominations within reach of all and
the payments can be arranged TO suit
the purchaser.
Therefore. by virtue Of the power in
me vested as governor OF the State OF
Iowa, / call upon all.our people 10 sub
scribe 10 this loan and in accordance
Herewith set apart and designate the
period beginning May 81 and ending
June 2, 1917. as liberty loan week
and I earnestly urge that you make
this week q time OF generous partici-
patton and statewide manifestation of
patriotic loyalty
In testimony whereof. ! have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal Of the state.
