"HOLD FAST TO BEST
BONDS in THE WORLD
McAdoo Warns Against Trad
ing Liberty Issues for Securi-
ties of Doubtful Value

WASHINGTON. Jau. 2l.-Investors
in Liberty Bonds have been warned by
Secretary McAdoo to beware of ire
spOnsible persons Offering other Sc
curities IN exchange. In a statement
appealing TO bondholders 10 hold fast
20 the best investment in the We 3D."
Mr.. AIcAdoo said:
TT has been brought to my attention
that a large number Of patriotic cttl-
Zens who subscribed TO Liberty Loan
bonds OF both the first and second issues
are being approached from time to time
by agents who have. with too frequent
success, induced them 60 sell their Lib
erty Loan bonds and take in exchange
securities which in a number OF cases
have been of very questionable value.
Through the intensive work carried
on during thG two Liberty Loan cam
paigns, patriotic army Of 100000
bondbuyers in this country has been
created II is OF the utmost Importance
that the investments of this army Of
patriots should be safeguarded In every
possible way. and that their action in
lending their money to their Government
should not be taken advantage of by
irresponsible persons seeking solely 4
profit for themselves
II therefore warn investors In Liberty
Loan bonds against exchange of these
evidences OF their patriotism for any
securities or so-called securities, While
some OF the securities or so-called Sc
curities offered in exchange for Gov
ernment bonds are Of sound value, there
Is no doubt that a large percentage OF
them aye worthless
"It Is my earnest hope that every
purchaser OF Liberty Bond will realize
that the only genuine help he gives his
Government is by keeping his bond ~
an investment as long as 1t is possible
for him to do 80. Where because OF
misfortune or imperative necessity, the
holder Of a Liberty Bond Is forced to
sell. there can, Of course, be no restric-
tiOn."

Chlorine Plant Rejected, and
Manufacturer Doesn't
Know Why

NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-Elon II.
Hooker, one Of the largest chlorine gas
manufacturers in the United States. con-
firmcd here a report that he had offered
hs plant to the Federal Government for
use in experimenting with and making
gas masks for the soldiers and had been
turned down. He could assign no reason
for the refusal except such reasons as
might be based on lack Of information
on the part of those in charge of the
Ordnance Department.
Mr.. Hooker said that In his plant
thousands of masks were used daily for
eight TO ten hours by men working in
fumes which certainly are as noxious as
any gas invented by the Germans. The
masks, he said. were invented in Ger
many. He brought the original to this
country fifteen years ago and since has
found il the best one procurable. Mr.
Hooker said he had made his offer direct
