Base American Flotilla in British
Waters. Sept. 3o.--The American Off
GERS are becoming topnotch golfers.
Only n handful Of them played the
game back In the states but now
every destroyer numbers three or four
devotees of the sport. The season is
now In full swing and almost any fair
day groups may be seen monopolizing
the links. The Americans not only
have revived the game in these parts
but so many of them have taken up
golf that they have put the local club
on a paying basis and generally made
themselves popular with the resi-
dents.
When the Americans arrived, the
links which are on the top of the
cliffs overlooking the sea, were
somewhat neglected but they have
now been put into first-class condition
the grass has been cut and the greens
have been rolled as never before.
Caddies have been attracted from dis
tant parts, encouraged by the gener-
osity of the Americans, whose tips are
much sought after.
The clubhouse is a most picturesque

The course is nine-hole affair with

A French Port, Oct. 2l.---Survivors
OF the United States transport Antilles,
which was sunk by q German sub.
marine last week, were landed here
today. Some of the men have been
lodged in local hotels and few have
left for Paris.
The torpedo struck the ship at
6:45 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Many were killed in their berths. The
explosion killed the engineers oilers
and mechanics and those of the crew
who were in the hunks below. All the
survivors praise the captain of the
Antilles and the members Of the CUR
crew who stuck to their posts until
the waves closed over the ship.
When the Antilles sank, forty or
fifty men were at the stern. Most of
them leaped fifty feet or more into
the sea as the stern rose to a perpen
dicular position. The sea was running
high at the time, making it difficult to
save the crew and passengers. Some
survivors. clinging to debris, were in
the water an hour.

What is Liberty Bond? 1t is a bond OF

why is 1t called Liberty Bond? Be-
cause the proceeds of the bond will help
defeat the Prussian tyranny and insu, lib
Ierty for you and your children. 60
Should buy Liberty Bond? I5S5uld
buy one for two reasons. 1t is the s. in
vestment in the world. 1t is duty zk lend
a dollar to my country if have iollar
and my country needs it.
Do give this money to my country?
No, only lend it.
Can | get my money back? Any day |
want it.
Can | be sure that | shall get it back?
Surer than would be if invested the same
dollar in any other property in America.
Why? Because the United States has the
power to levy unlimited taxes upon all the
people, and upon all property over any
number of years to pay its debts.
Did the United States ever refuse to pay
off one of it's bonds when it became due? It
never did.
Do United States bonds usually sell for
more than their face value? After the Civil
War no United States Government bonds
ever sold for less than par and they gener-
ally sold far above the price paid for them
originally.
Did Civil War bonds go up when the war
ended? They did.
Did other good securities like railroad
stocks 60 down when the Civil War was
over? They fell tremendously in the two
years following.
How much? In the two years after Ap-
pomattox, United States per cent bonds
rose 4 points while such stocks as Reading,
Pennsylvania and Lehigh Navigation de-
clined in the Philadelphia market from SIS
to $40 share.
Can borrow money from bank on a
Liberty Bond? Any bank, will consider
Liberty Bond a sounder security than any
mortgage or any city bond or any railroad
bond.
What makes this liberty Bond so sound?
1t is backed by the greatest combined
wealth behind any security in the world.
How much wealth? The country's
wealth is seventy times as great as this
total issue of S30OO,OOO.OOO of Liberty
Bonds.
Can our country pay the bond interest
out of the country's income? Yes, the total
sum earned by all the people of the United
States is S45,0O0,0OO,0O0 a year, which is
fifteen times as much as the bonds them
selves and SIS times as much as the annual
interest.
