CHANGE BONDS BY SATURDAY
Secretary McAdoo Make Announce
ment for Benefit of Holders of
Bonds Of Second Issue

Residents OF Crawford county, own.
'ers of first Liberty bonds converted
and second Liberty bonds bearing 4
per cent, who wish to exchange them
for bonds bearing ~ per cent must
do so before next Saturday, November
9th, when the conversion privilege ex-
pires by law. This can be done with
out cost at any bank in Crawford coun-
ty and the only effect is to give the
bond holder an extra quarter OF cent
Interest, which amounts to % cents
a yearNon each $100 bond. Third loan
bonds are not to be converted as they
already bear Az per cent.
In calling attention to the fact that
only few days remains in the con-
version period, statement authorized
by Secretary McAdoo said:
1T is safe to assume that upon the
expiration of the conversion privilege
that fact will reflect itself unfavorab-
ly in the market price of unconverted
4 per cent bonds which have hereto
fore been maintained substantially on
la parity with the converted Az per
cent bonds by the existence of the priv
|ilege of conversion. The treasury now
asks the newspapers of the United
States, bankers, brokers and Others to
do what they can to bring these facts
before the attention of the bond
holders"
Secretary McAdoo- has received a
|cablegram from General Pershing say
ing: "All ranks of the American ex-
peditionary forces are delighted at the
success of the fourth Liberty loan. We
are gratified to learn anew of, the
splendid determination of the Ameri-
can people to back the army to the
limit as exemplified in the large over
subscription. Please accept our sim
cere thanks and congratulations"

Washington, D. c., Oct. ~, 1918
Mrs. Dempsey Weaver,
Nashville, Tenn. \. }
My Dear Mrs. Weaver:
l know of nothing the children OF
America can do more fitting than to-
contribute to the support of the chill
dren of France who have been orphan
ed by the cruel war which has ragged
on the soil of that devoted and inns
poverished country forHour years and
more. am informed that more than
a million French. children have lost
their fathers and that more than 400
900, of these are dependent on the
state and charity for their support.
The French government gives to each
of these SO month or $36 9 year
all it is able to give. At the present,
cost of living fully twice as much IS
required for the support; OF a child In
the most economic way possible. The
society known as the Fatherless Chill
dren of France has undertaken to sup
ply the additional amount and Is ap-
pealing to the children OF America for
help. Three dollars month each for
100000 children makes .$1,500,O00
month. There are in the schools OF
the United States more than 20,00O,-s
600 children. If these children should
contribute an average Of ten cents
month the total of $2,0O0,0OO would be
all that is needed, and more.
These boys and girls of France will
be the neighbors OF the boys and girls
now in the schools OF America when
both are grown to manhood and wO
manhood, and when this cruel war.
with all its horrors, is only a memory.
To the boys and girls in the schools
of America l would say: II you help
these French boys and girls now in
their time Of need they will remember
your kindness and love and repay YOU
many times over with their love and
gratitude. Suppose the devastating
war had been in our country and your.
fathers had died and your homes hat
been destroyed. AS we would tn
these children should do for you ur + s.
these circumstances let us Dr.
them.

Soldiers And Shipbu|ders
Will Mix Again

The Shipbuilders will have another
tough nut to crack when they meet
the soldiers of the 43rd Infantry at
Deepwater Park. Sunday. The last
time these teams came together, two
weeks ago, the so-called scrap was
more or less farce. Said farce
due in large measure to the non.
possession Of pitcher by the SOL
diers, which resulted after few
innings in broken down morale"
Army experts say that soldiers must
be in possession of good morale"
or they are lost. This statement was
we'll borne out by the final results
of that game.
But the soldiers morale" ought
to be in first class condition next
Sunday, as their star pitcher, boy
named Bird, will be with them to
see that it doesn't get flabby. If he
can always pitch as well as he did
the last time he worked here, his
DuodleS Will have no excuse for be-
coming down-hearted At that time
he allowed only two hits and struck
out mess Of them. 1t is also re-
ported that the Hun Chasers have
two new infielders who are report
ed to be full of that baseball stuff.
While the Shipbuilders through ex-
perience appreciate the worth of
hurler Bird, they claim they beat him
once, even if it wasn't exactly earn
ed, and the trick can be turned
again. The locals will have Dupuy.
Lowman and Dyer to pick from for
mound duty, with the ever-depend-
able Vega to back any of them up.
Is the figure in that old lost column
going to be changed? Be out there
Sunday and see for yourself.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS AND
BABIES

Brand Whitlock, our minister to
Belgium when the German hordes
first entered that martyred country
and for three long years thereafter,
IS now telling US Of some of the
things that happened during that or
gle of German lust. He writes in
"Everybody's" as follows:
1T was on that Sunday morning of
the 23rd; the Germans swarmed
down the Friedrau road, entered the
quarter of Penant, arrested the in
habitants and took them to the Ro-
cher Bayard. The people were held
there, evidently as screen, while
the Germans began to construct
temporary bridge over the river.
The French were on the other side.
and now and then they shot at the
soldier working there. The Ger
mans, annoyed by the splitting, ir-
regular fire, sent a citizen of Din
ant, one Of the prisoners, in . boat
across the river to inform the French
that unless they ceased firing the ci-
villains would be shot. M-made his
dangerous voyage, accomplished his
mission, and returned to take his
place among his fellows. But few
stray bullets sped across the river.
"Then was committed the afro
cious crime. The prisoners were
massed together, nearly 80 of them,
old men and young, women, girls,
and boys, little children, and babies
in their mothers' arms. A platoon
was called up; the colonel in COM
mand gave the word to fire, and the
gray soldiers, in cold blood, shot
down those 80 persons as they stood
huddled there together. Among
them were IL children under the age
of years, of whom were little
babies, whose mothers, as they stood
up to face their pitiless murderers,
held them in their arms
