First And Second Issues OF Gov
ernment BOnds-Interest,
Payments, Etc.

Owners of Liberty 8 l-2 Per Cent. Bonds
(first issue) received their first interest on
Saturday, December is. the amount rep
resenting interest for the six months ended
that day. Payments throughout the United
States aggregated $35,O00,00O. and this
sum was divided among upward of 4.000.-
900 men. women and children. 1t is es-
timated that fully IS per cent. of this vast
army of investors bought bonds ranging in
amount from $50 to $4,000.
Maryland's quota to the list of subscrib-
ers was 103.430. which is ten times the
number of investors in securieties in this
State prior to the fiotation of this loan,
and is fully one-fourth of the total num-
Der Of investors in securities in the United
States up to that time.
The counties of the State contributed
1884 buyers of the first Liberty Loan,
their subscription amounting to $6,002,-
$50. while the city of Baltimore furnished
86,S96 purchasers, their subscription az
ere8atln9 S3l,US4,l5O.
Probably rs per cent. of Liberty Bond
buyers had never before invested in a
security; millions of them had never seen
bond. but they know what thrift is now
and the net result of the Government s
financing has been the creation of a huge
army of potential investors, which bids
fair to spread until the United States
takes rank with France as a nation of in
vestors.
The first coupon on the Liberty per
cent bonds (second issue) will be due and
paid on May IS. More than twice as many
men, women and children will share in the
interest which the Government will pay on
that date, and the sum discussed will be
more than double the amount paid on the
18th instant. This is due to the fact that
the second issue was about double the first
issue.
All exchanges of the l-2 per cent
Liberty Bonds for the per Liberty Bonds
affected after December Is, 1917, will re
quire payments to the United States to
adjust interest. On that date the Govern
ment paid the first six months interest on
the 8 IL bonds by cashing the first in
terest coupon.
Each day after December IS interest
accumulates on the 3 1-2 per cent. bonds
and will be paid through the second cou-
pom, which is payable on June is, 1918
The coupon dates on the per cent. bond s
are May IS and each six months thereafter
1t will thus be seen that the interest pay
ment dates are different on the two bonds
Interest payments on the first IL per cent.
bonds are due December is and June Is /;
and on the second 4 per cent. bonds May
is and November is. This is the reason
why an adjustment of interest is necessary.
The most convenient way to make the
exchanges Of the 3 IL per cent. bonds for
the conversion 4 per cent. bonds Is to pre-
sent the bonds to the bank through which
they were originally purchased

"Important Notice" To Registrants.

Under this caption the Montgomery Coun-
ty Legal Advisory Board is adding, as a
postscript to its letter published in last
weeks Sentinel, the following:
BLANKS should be filled out clearly in
ink at home as far as possible. Write out
on separate paper proposed answers to
questions about which you want to con-
suit lawyers"
This has been rendered necessary by
actual experiences this week at the Court
House.
Many of the reeistrants have failed to
even read over the questions before they
came to Rockville, and are taking up hours
of time which could have been saved if
they had only gone over the questions at
home and filed in their answers to those
about which there could be no doubt and
carefully thought over and gotten together
all the facts necessary to answer the bal
ance.
The Local Board continues each day to
mail the questionnaires to S per cent Of
those on the list. or to about 1870 per day.
These must be filled out. sworn to and
filed within days from date Of mailing.
This date is stamped on the face of the
blank.
The Legal Advisory Board and its asso-
ciate members are giving, free of charge.
large portion of their time each day to
the work Of aiding the registrants as they
come to the Court House to complete and
file their missionaries.
They are doing this cheerfully. but they
want 1t understood that each registrant
and his family must supply the informa-
tion required and do their full part in COM
plying with the terms of the law as indi-
Gated by the questionable and that 1t
will be a physical impossibility to get these
papers properly made out and filed unless
they do their part.
When deferred classification is sought
on grounds Of dependents, it is suggested
that the dependents qualified to make the
affidavits required from them be brought
by the registrant with him to Rockville
where practicable.
Likewise where such claim is made on
ground Of industrial or agricultural bust
ness, 1t would save time and trouble for
registrants to bring with them the proper
persons who are to make the affidavits
required.
1t is not necessary to bring any infants
or persons under 10 years Of age.
In instances where no legal assistance
is desired the QUESTIONABLE can be per-
fected and sworn to before proper officer

At The Rockville Postoffice.

In a communication received by this
paper, Collector Of Internal Revenue. Joshua
W. Miles, announces that federal income
tax officer will be located as follows In
the Post Office at Rockville. Md. from Janu-
AIRY Il to March l. 1918.
He will be every day ready and willing
to help persons subject to the income tax
make out their returns without any cost to
them for his services.
How many income-tax payers will there
be in Montgomery cOuntyf II you can
guess how many married persons living
with wife or husband will have net in
comes Of $4,000 or over and how many
unmarried persons will have net incomes
Of $1,000 or over this year. then you know.
The Collector Of Internal Revenue esti-
mates that there will be 800 taxpayers
in this county.
Returns of income for the year 1917 must
be made on forms provided for the purpose
before March I. 1918. Because a good
many people don't understand the law and
won't know how to make out their returns.
the government is sending In this expert
to do it for them. But the duty is on the
taxpayer to make himself known to the
government. If he doesn't make return as
required by March he may have to pay
penalty ranging from $40 to $1,000. In
such case he also becomes liable to prose-
cutiOn; to the payment Of fine or to inn
prisonment, but the Collector insists that

made higher TO carry on the war will be
cheerfully paid and there will be no neces-
sity for prosecutions or the imposition Of
penalties.
OF course, persons resident in other coun-
ties may, II they want to. come and see

The Collector suggests that everybody
now start figuring up his income and
expenses so as to be ready with the figures
when the expert arrives. Expenses. how

OHIO RECEIVERS BIG AMOUNT
More Than Million Dollars Allotted
State by Federal Government
Pay for Guardsmen.

Columbus, O.-More than $1,000,000
of Federal funds will come into Ohio
from the general Government at
Washington during 1917 to aid in va
r1ous departments of government in
which the Federal interest already is
large. Ohio Assemblymen have been
quick to meet every requirement ex-
acted by the Federal Government, and
as result the state will put itself in
position to get the full benefit of the
Federal appropriations.
A large sum wifi come to the state
this year under the provisions of the
Federal defense act and will be avail
able for the Ohio National Guard.
Ohio has remodeled her entire mill
tary code to meet the requirements,
the Federal Government holding that
the states must put themselves in
touch with the situation at the first
session of the Assembly.
The Ohio National Guard will re-
ceive from Washington about 100000
this year, and the amount may be de-
veloped to about the l1alf-million mark
in few years with full development.
Under the law enlisted men will draw
81 for every drill they attend, and can
thus procure $52 per year if they want
to spend one evening each week at
drill.
The largest SUM to come will be in
furtherance of the good roads idea,
the state standing to get $558,000 for
the construction of military and post
roads. To get this the state has to
meet the sum from the Government
and it has done so.

BAGDAD IS CAPTURED
BRITISH TROOPS TAKE IMPORT
ANT CITY FROM TURKS.
Drive of General Maude Into Ancient
City Of caIiphs Called Great
est Victory.

London, March 13.-Bagdad, the
chief Turkish city in Mesopotamia and
formerly the capital of the empire Of
the caliphs, has been captured by the
British forces. Announcement of the
capitulation of the city was made on
Sunday by the British official press
bureau.
The statement was issued on re-
ceipt of a telegram from General
Maude saying the British forces had
occupied Bagdad early Sunday morn
ing. No details of the capture of the
city were contained in General
Maude's dispatch.
During the day the following Off
cial report was received concerning
the operations against Bagdad, carry
ing them up to Saturday morning,
when the Turks had been forced back
to within three miles west and south
west of the city:
''The enemy was driven from this
position to another position two miles
In the rear.
During the 9th our forces on the
right bank (Tigris) drove the enemy
from his second position( bivouacking
on the ground gained. This advan-
tage, Notwithstanding a binding dust
storm and violent gale, was pressed
on the morning of the 10th, the Turks
being pushed back to within three
miles west and southwest Of Bagdad.' u
General Maude's drive northward
along the crooked Tigris since the
capture of Kut is regarded in London
as one of the most spectacular and
brilliant feats of the war.
