WAR BOND INVESTOR |S SAFE BOTH
 WAYS

San Francisco. Cal. June l.-Tele graphic advices to the financial com mittee of the Liberty loan from the treasury department at Washington calls particular attention to the con version privileges of the Liberty bonds The dispatch is as follows:
 The holder of a Liberty bond has the privilege, without expense to him, of exchanging his 3 1-2 per cent bond into any new United States govern ment bonds which may be issued dur ing the present war. bearing higher rate of interest.
 This is a most important practical reason for deciding to buy a Liberty bond now.
 If the government is obliged to raise the interest rate of any new is sue to sell bonds at par Q00D, the present purchaser enjoys the enviable position of being able to increase his rate of interest by this exchange priv Iilege.
 Furthermore, power to increase the interest rate should enable the gov 1 ernment to maintain the price of the Liberty loan at or above par n00l l It seems equally likely that in the event of such increase of interest rate | becoming necessary, other securities bearing fixed interest rates will de cline in price
 : This means that the present pur chaser of a Liberty bond can feel cer itain that he can sell his bond at any
 time at practically what he now pays i for it or more. If he holds other securities bearing fixed interest rates he maN Nave to suffer considerable loss in the event of selling.
 If the war is of short durat tion. ht
 can probably sell his $1000 bond a iConsiderable more than S1Uo0. If tht war is Of long duration and the gov .ernment is obliged to issue more hond'
 at a higher rate. the investor gets th' higher interest rate. In the Lihert! bond the inv estor is protected tor, and aft either way he wins.

FAMOUS ANIMAL
 TRAINER KILLED
 IN LOS ANGELES
Capt. Bonavita Whose Right Arm Was Chewed Off by Lion Killed by Po-
 lar Bear.

Los Angeles, March 21.-Capt. Jack
 Bonavita, probably the greatest anil
 mal trainer in the world, died last
 night from wounds received when a polar bear attacked him. Before the keepers could render any assistance
 he had been knocked down and mor- tally wounded.
 Capt Jack, whose real name, by the way, was John F. Getner, lived a life of adventure that is not given
 to many. When he took charge of his first arena-one lion and four other animals of a travelling circus he was a boy in his teens, but none of the spectators could tell from his behavior as he stepped into the cage that he was not an old hand at 1t. Five years later, in 1896. his fame
 brought him an engagement With Bostock's great circus, with which he
 exhibited before the royal families of Europe. He was always much ap- plauded in his act, which required him to enter cage alone with tWen- ty-seven lions. To think that this was
 safe Is to think erroneously. Bonav1- ta's right arm was chewed off by
 lion in 1905 and his left arm was DdI cly odScO d LEW yCdA Q AoCOi. AACA O was not on his body unscarred skin as large as mans hand.
 At Coney Island on one occasion two lions fought him, one tugging his foot, one his arm. Still he never
 used any gun. or lash; the lions, he
 said, were as God had made them,
 and one needed only to use patience with them. *>
 He married in 1906 Princess de
 MontGlyon, once the wife of the Due d'Avaray of France and the daughter of Eugene de Mercy d'Argentau of the Belgian Embassy in Paris. They l were divorced after five years of ap- parently happy life. The marriage was always frowned upon by the Princess's familyy, who cut off her income. At Bergenfields, N. J., Mrs. Gentner conducted large dog kennels. which were, however, financial failure.

LABOR VIEWING HOME GUARD AS STRIKE MILITIA Unions Much Concerned Over Purpose of Local
 Military Organ
 iZatiOn.

Union labor men>of Bridgeport are very much concerned over the status and purpose of the Home Guard. A story has reached the union labor peo- pie here that the Home Guard is to be used as a force to be called on if labor troubles arise as we'll as force to take the place of the National Guard if the companies here are call ed.
 The enlistment in the Home Guard is to be for two years and no single
 men who are under 30 years of age
 will be accepted, except those who
 may be considered unfit for duty in the National Guard A physical defect which might bar a man from service in the Coast Artillery or other Ma | tional Guard organization; would not necessarily bar him from service in the Home Guard. The latter organ ization, however, will take men be- tween the ages of 30 and 60 years,
 married men as we'll as single men Service in the Home Guard is limited to the state.
 The committee appointed to recruit for Bridgeport consists of Mayor Will son, City Clerk Robinson, William E.
 Seeley, F. J. Breckbill, Henry c. Stew
 enson, Nathaniel w. Bishop, Dana R August and Clarence A. Woodruff. The
 recruiting office in the council cham
 Der of the city hall will be open each
 day and at least one member of the committee will be present to receive
 recruits. City Clerk Robinson to-
 day showed the committee sample
 of uniform submitted by Meigs & Go
 The uniform consists of Montana peak

 and green, blouse and trousers of but ternut shade with leggings to match
 The state will furnish uniforms anG arms for the Home Guard.

DUTCH PUZZLED
 OVER STATUS OF /: ARMED TRADERS
No Divergence So Far From Strict Neutrality
 Attitude.


 The Hague, March 21.-Govern- ment officials are hard at work on the thorny problem of the admission of armed merchantmen to Dutch ports, but no official statement as to HoI- lands attitude was obtainable to-day. It is understood that so far there is no divergencies from the standpoint laid down in the neutrality proclama- 4tion of August, 1914, by which all beldgerent war ships or their equiv aients are, barred from Dutch ports. This position was further amplif1ed in an Orange Book of October, 1915, in which it was held that merchant men armed defensively are capable of performing acts of war and there fore are within the barred category.
 American armed merchantmen as well as American war ships, would be freely admitted to Dutch ports as long as a state of war did not exist between the United States and Ger many. Tn the event of war being declared the attitude of the Dutch government is still prob1ematicaL
 Test Case Recalled.
 The NieuWe Rotterdam Courant, re- calling the test case of the British steamship Princess Melita, which was not permitted to enter the Hook of Holland until it had jettisoned its ar mannent, expects the Dutch govern ment will undoubtedly maintain it's attitude on the ground that any change therein would impair. the strict neutrality hitherto observed. There can be no bargaining in this says this paper. '"The strength of the Dutch policy of neu- tra1ity lies largely in the fact that it was laid down early in August, 1914, even before England entered the war, and was proclaimed in spirit of the strictest partiality before military op- erations were begun
