Italian airplaneS are now regularly

of Agram, reports that other Italian
aviators, flying above towns in Car

war times. My views are unofficial

the Chautauqua as an organization.
War taxes are constantly increasing
and if We are to save let us practice
it judiciously. If the Chautauqua
troup fail to make the guaranteed
amount, I expect to pay my proportion
with regrets for a misguided judgment

ing young ladies who lured me into

PRIVILEGE OF CONVERTING
FOUR PER CENT BONDS
EXPIRES NOV. 8

Secretary McAdoo has issued the
following statement to holders of
per cent bonds of the first Liberty
loan converted and 4 per cent bonds
of the second Liberty loan:
The privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence of the issue of
4 per cent bonds of the third Liberty
loan will expire on November and
under existing law can not be extend
ed or renewed. Holders of these 4
per cent bonds lose nothing by exer-
cising the privilege of conversion and
gain one-fourth of l per cent interest
per annum. Holders of per cent
bonds should not wait until the last
moment to exercise the privilege of
conversion, but proceed to do so
promptly. Delay will result in over
burdening the banking institutions of
the country and the Treasury Depart
ment by making it necessary to han
die all conversions at the last moment
and may result in the loss OF the priv
ilege of conversion altogether.
Should Get Registered Bonds
Holders of coupon bonds are strong
ly advised to request issue of regis
tered bonds in order to protect them
selves against the risk of loss, theft,
and destruction of their bonds.
Official Department Circular No.
ia, with forms of application, has
been distributed to Federal Reserve
banks and the United States. These
institutions are asked, as a matter of
patriotic service, to assist bond hol-
ders in exchanging per cent bonds
fer IA per cent bonds and in regis
taring their bonds.
