Tho New Issue of Bonds

Q ECRETARY OF THE TREASURY Nc
~ ADOO has announced the important de-
tails of the new Liberty loan, and the
appeal is about to go out to the country TO
absorb at least $3.000,0000OO more OF the
governments securities. The rate fixed by
law at per cent makes the issue more
attractive than the first issue as an invest
ment, and the fact that the bonds are free
from all general taxation creates an addi-.
uonal feature of value The denominations
are fixed as low $50, which places the
bonds within the reach of practically every
wage-earner in America
II the issue of 100000, 5000 is oversub-
scribed as was the case with the original
loan, one-half of the oyersubscription will
be authorized In other words if ST. 600
100000 in bonds is subscribed for $4,000
oo0,000 will be issued. Holders OF the az
per cent bonds. put out when the first loan
was fioated, may convert their holdings into
the bonds bearing the higher rate of interest
IL other issues than the present one arc
authorized bearing higher rate than per
cent, the holders of either the go or tho
4 per cent bonds may convert their holdings
into the more remunerative issues rho pov
eminent is about to inaugurate = second
haton-Wlde campaign in behalf OF the new
loan. The old local committees will be
asked to take charge of the local phases
OF this campaign, and the Federal Reserve
Bank machinery will be again employed in
promoting the moevment. Meantime. the
purchasers of the first issue will be urged not
10 demand their bonds, but to wait for tho
new securities.
1t IS generally believed that the American
people VIII readily subscribe for the IS ,OO0.-
100000 issue, and will go further and call
Tor three or four billions more. All know
that the country is splendidly prosperous
Ihere are no idle workers in America other
IMAM those incapacitated for work or who
refuse to work. There is something for
every man to do and money to be made by
every man who wants to make it. Our ma
tional savings were barely touched in absorb
| ing the hrst loan. The people are more in
the war now than they have heretofore been.
Their own flesh and blood has marched forth
10 nght our battles, and there will be no
lack or financial support for our armies.
