Here's What Army
Advises Soldiers
to Do With Bonds

The following suggestions, which
have been issued by the quarter
masters department to men in ser
vice on the care of Liberty bonds,
are just as good advice for the civ
ilian as they are for the soldier:
Don't forget, when you get your
Liberty bond
To keep it in a safe place.
To keep the number of the bond;
it viii help you to identify II,
should you lose it.
To cut the coupons every six
months and cash them at once; do
not cut them until they are due.
Do not write your name or put
any marks on the bond; marked
bonds are worth less than those
not marked.
You can borrow on the bonds;
the bond is used as security.
Bonds carry interest-that is, ev-
cry day some interest is earned,
only the government pays it every
six months; but if you see it you
get interest from the date when it
was last paid to the date YOU SELL
To buy more when you have
spare cash.

10 my feelings. Prepared for by

transfers the fundamental rights of
the kaiser's person to the people.
Thus comes to 4 close a period
which viii stand in honor before
the eyes OF future generations. De
spite all struggles between invest

it has rendered possible to our peo-
pie that tremendous development
which imperish4biy revealed itself
In the wonderful achievements of

In the terrible storms Of the

forms have been broken up, not to
leave their ruins behind, but to
make a place for a new, vital form.
After the achievement Of these
times the German people can claim
that no right which may guarantee
a free AMI happy future shall be
withheld from them.
The proposals OF the allied gov

and extended. owe their origin to
this conviction. I. however. with
my exalted allies, indorse these de

termination so far as I am con
