All matmglized residents who were )om in countries with which the United States is now at war will be required to
 cgister at their postoffice during the week beginning March 1S-neXt week. This is Iot a hardship on any person, no matter hough he be loyal to the American cause. But to all such it should be a warning to become American citizens just as soon as coalitions will permit them to do so after he war is over. The man who calls him. self patriotic American but who has lived lerc years after being eligible for taking put his naturalization papers and has not lone so is, to say the least, careless and negligent. Failure to register next week is liable to result in the inconvenience of being informed.

MAKE mn BOND TERNIs OLEAR

MAKE THE BOND TERMS CLEAk
 The predominating opinion among bankers of New York appears to be that the next Liberty Loan should be issued as a 4I5 per cent note, maturing in five years and convertible into a tweuty-year 4 per cent. bond, previous issues to be convert iblc into the new security only at the sac rifcc of some of their taX-eXemption fea- lures. the Third Loan to be exempt only i'm respect of local and normal federal in- come taxes But difficulties lie in the path of such procedure, and not the least of .hcm results from the governments fail urc to make thoroughly clear the restrict ing, as we'll as the enabling, features of the conversion privilege.
 Among the public the notion prevails that any Liberty bond is convertible into any new bond which may be issued at higher rate of interest It prevails because the government Salesmen, in practically every selling talk, made some such state mcnt as: If better paying bond is ever issued you can change this bond into it. '
 The restricting clause, limiting the privilege to conversion into issues having more than five years to run, was not men toned. OF, if it were, was never impressed Du the public until, at present, the exist mcc of the clause is little known and less understood. Were it not for this situation, { would be possible to issue the next loan lu terms generally recognized as most sat .sfactory to the government. Instead, it s felt generally among bankers that a sud len deprivation of the conversion privilege would be misunderstood by the public and .cgarded as a governmental breach of .aith. and the alternative is suggested of ssuing the proposed notes for five years and one day or for five years and one month, thus lifting them from the application of Inc restricting clause.
 Whatever course may be adopted, the possible predicament serves to illustrate again the necessity for explicit statements m regard to government financing Much misunderstanding and some resulting dis satisfaction were occasioned by the cnthu- dastic assertion, in connection with the lotatiou of the existing Liberty bonds, hat they would always "bc worth every .cut paid for them, a statement which ailcd to make clear to the novice buyer why and how his bond could ever be quoted below par
 Care should be exercised that, in the sale of the new loan, every purchaser may thoroughly understand every detail con- lcctcd with his purchase, and universal m- lcrstaudmg can be assured only if it be calized that, to many, the purchase of ,ond is a new and completely unfamiliar proceeding The Annalist.

While it is cheering to know that so sue ccSSfUI has been the conservation of meats by Americans that our colleagues in Europe are being supplied with all they need, there is not much comfort for the average man in the statement that beef, mutton and lamb may be eaten more generally than during the past few months.
