CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS y
SHOULD NOT ASK FOR LIBERTY
BONDS AND w. 8. s.

Washington, D. c., Dec 21.-Sec-
rotary of the Treasury Carter Glass
today issued the following statement;
at has been called to my attention
that large numbers Of charitable or
CARNATIONS have from time to time
solicited contributions from the PEG.
pie of the country and in their ap.
peals have stated that Liberty bonds
and war savings stamps would be re.
ceived in lieu Of cash.
these charitable people seem to
overlook the fact that as long as the
United States Government is under
the necessity of selling additional
amounts Of its bonds, the taking of
bonds Of previous issues by such
charitable organizations and the con.
sequent resale of such bonds in the
open market has a tendency to de.
press the price and make 1t more diff.
ficult for the Government to obtain
the money it needs upon reasonable
terms | therefore request that char
table organizations refrain from
making any suggestion to the public
that they will accept Liberty Bonds
or War Savings Stamps unless for en-
dowment funds to be held for per
manent investment"

Little Sarah Frances English and
Margaret Morse, representing the Pri-
mary department, gave recitations,
which were much enjoyed, and Eve
Ign Wilson sang Christmas solo in
most beautiful way, her sweet, clear
voice, making the song all the more
beautiful.
