To RAISE WAR
FUND BY STAMPS
THRIFT STAMP SYSTEM TO RAISE
TWO BILLION: SMALLEST UNIT
TO SELL FOR rs CENTS.

WASHINGTON. Dec 3. 3.America's
newest plan for raising war funds
and encouraging habits of thrift went
into operation today with the open
ing of sales of war savings stamps
and certificates at post offices and
banks. The campaign is to con
tinue for year in expectation of
receiving the $4,000 100000 maximum
authorized.
The smallest unit in the war say.
ings plan is the thrift stamp which
costs 25 cents; the largest is the
war savings certificate, which costs
$S240 and is redeemabe in five
years at 500, at the rate OF per
cent interest compounded quarterly.
Officials in charge of the campaign
expect many millions of persons, in
cluding children and families OF small
means to invest regularly in the
stamps as means of helping the ma
ton win the war and laying aside
money to be returned to them later.
Every post office and most Of the
banks throughout the country have
big supplies of stamps, and by the
end of the week arrangements will
be made to supply millions of other
agencies, such as retail stores,
schools and savings societies.

GERMAN SHIPS PLAN
RAID ON j. S. TRADE
Belief Expressed That Interned YES
sells in Brazil Will Attack Ameri-
can Ships.

RIO DE JANIERO, March 22-There
are twenty-eight German merchant
men interned in this and other Braz-
ilan ports today which, rumor has it,
would become raiders of American
shipping in case of war between the
United States and Germany.
These ships total about 10000 tons
and are valued at $4,000,OOO Half of
them are in this port and the other
scattered about other Brazilian ports
With two exceptions all these ships
are at liberty to put to sea any time
Ever since Brazil's protest to Ger
many over the submarine blockade. at
tention has been focused on the Ger
man ships by persistent stories that
several of the interned steamers we're
waiting favorable moment to make
their escape.
Anchored in an open part of the
bay, well under the surveillance of
the harbor's forts and the Brazilian
fleet, these fourteen ships form a list
less and desolate group.
OF the ships interned here the
Sierra Salvada" is the largest with
4,951 tons net register. The others
are the "Edenberg" of 2.7S2 tons;
cap Roca' of $500 tons, "Coburg" of
4,200 tons, "Hohenstaufen" of 4.0S6
tons, Roland" of 4,255 tons, "Aldrich"
of 1926 tons, carl Woermanu" of g.
400 tons, "Posen" of 1000 tons, Ger
trude Woermanu" of $500 tons, "Ar-
mold Ansinck" of 1896 tons, "Etruria"
of 2,2S5 tons and the Franklin" of
3,2SS tons
Besides these there were the "Mu-
ansa" of 1888 tons, which entered on
August 49, 1914, but sailed a few
days later for Buenos Aires and is at
present interned in Chilli, and the
prussia" which entered August 20
sailed for Santos five days later and
did not arrive at that port for a
month in spite of the fact that it is
but few days trip. An inquiry un-
dertaken by port authorities for the
purpose of finding the cause of this
mysterious months disappearance did
not establish any definite results. II
is an easy guess, however that the
Prussia" did not risk capture by the
British cruisers on a mere pleasure
trip and that some raider ship bene-
fitted in supplies during her disap-
perance.
Another ship that broke the monot-
ony of internment by venturing into
the open was the Gutenberg, which
after twenty days of lying idle sailed
for Santos, where she never arrived
One month later the Gutenberg re
, turned calmly to Rio, dropped hel
anchor and landed the crew and pas
sengers of the Indian Prince" which
had been sunk by the German cruiser
= "Kronprinz Wilhelm, which itself in
2 termed later in a North American port
For this adventure the "Edenberg
T was ordered under guard by the Bra
lillian government.
= Outside of the prussia" and tn
e "Edenberg" any of the interned Ger
man ships have the right to leave TIL
, harbor at will.
