London, July Very important
work is being done in maintaining
the number of British ships afloat, by
the repair yards.
Between August 3, 1917, when the
work was organized and April %
1918, 1907 vessels were repaired and
restored, representing an aggregate
gross tonnage of 16,150,000.
This gievs weekly average OF
414105 tons but for some weeks past
the average has risen to over 500, 900
and is steadily increasing. AS much
as 2,120,301 gross tons have been in
hand during one week. Five ships
each over 10000 tons have left the
wards ready for service in a single
week
| No work is done on vessel in
dock that can be done afloat. An in.
genious chart device shows exactly
what accommodation is available for
repairs at any moment. An official
seated at his desk with his chart
and the key before him can tell in a
few minutes the condition of every
berth in the United Kingdom, wheth.
er it is vacant and how many hours
it will take to clear it if occupied.

No Higher Interest Rate On 4th
Liberty Loan, Says McAdoo

Secretary of the treasury, William
G. McAdoo, has officially corrested a
statement appearing in various news
papers that the Fourth Liberty loan
will bear interest at the rate of IL
per cent. He states that no thought
has been entertained of issuing the
bonds of the fourth loan at higher
rate than ia per cent.
1t is interesting to recall here the
secretary's appeal in his Third Lib
erty Loan speeches that the rate of
Interest for government loans be sta
bilized at Ia per cnet. He said
then that as an intelligent people
Americans should make a stand for
the financing of its government dur
ing the period of the war at a sta
bilized rate of interest, naming 4 IA
per cent as the proper figure, so that
all business and investments might be
adjusted on that basis. In his letter
to Majority Leader Kitchin he strong
ly urges stabilizing the rate Of 4 Ia
per cent.
The secretary has also asserted he
did not think the patriotism Of the
American people was measured by the
rate of interest on government bond,
and the support the people gave the
Thirty Liberty Loan seems to have JUS
titled his belief.
Liberty bonds of the first and sec
ond issues and those obtained by con-
iverting bonds of the first issue into
4 per cent bonds can be converted in
to 4 Ia per cent Liberty bonds dur
ing the six months period beginning
May 8 and ending Nov. 8, 1918. The
new bonds will be dated May O. 1918.
After Nov. 9, 1918, no further rights
of conversion will attach to the 4 per
cent bonds, either the original bonds
of the second loan or those obtained
by conversion of bonds of the first
loan. All of the 4 Ia per cent bonds
are non convertible.
Bonds for conversion may be sur
rendered at any federal reserve bank
or at the treasury department. Reg
istered bonds must be assigned to the
secretary of the treasury for CONVEX
sion, but such assignment need not be
witnessed.
On conversion of registered bonds
Registered bonds only will be deliv.
cred, neither change of ownership nor
change into coupon bonds being per-
United.
Coupon bonds, however, may be
converted into registered bonds upon
request. Coupon bonds must have
the May Is or June Is, 1918, coupons
detached and all subsequent coupons
attached. Coupon bonds issued from
conversion will have only four inter.
est coupons attached, and later mus
be exchanged for new bonds with the
full number Of coupons attached
