ISFOR 8 BILLIONS
Interest Rate Is Fixed at 4H4
Per Cent.
TO TAKE DEMONSTRATIONS
Campaign for Third Issue of War
Bonds Opens April 6-McAdoo
Urges All to Help De-
feat Huns.

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
McAdoo announced on Monday that
the amount of the third Liberty loan
would be $3,OOO,OOO,OOO, the bonds car
rying Az per cent interest and that all
oversubscriptions will be accepted.
The secretary of the treasury out
lined his plan following conference
with Representative Kitchin, chairman
of the ways and means committee or
the house, and will ask congress for ap-
prevail.
Will BE NonconvertibIe.
Outstanding features of the third
war loan plan as announced are:
The bonds will be nonconvertible,
but bonds of the first and second war
loans may be converted into the new
Az per cent securities.
The bonds will be acceptable at par
and accrued interest in payment or
United States inheritance taxes.
They will have the benefit of
sinking fund of per cent per annum
during the period of the war and for
one year thereafter.
Authority to issue $4,500,000,O00 in
bonds in addition to the $3,666, OO0,OOO
already authorized and unissued is
proposed in new loan legislation pre-
pared for submission to congress, so
that the total amount which may be
issued is $8166,O00,0OO.
Congress, the secretary announced,
will be asked for authority to make adj
ditional loans to the allies during the
coming summer. The decision to make
the new bonds nonconvertible, he
said, was reached in order to put an
end to the expectation of higher inter-
est rates.
Mr.. McAdoo said expenditure of the
United States and the allied govern
ments had been below estimates and
that consequently greater loan than
that planned was not necessary. Up
until recently expectations outside Of
government circles as to the new is
sue had ranged between $4,0OO,00O,0
and $6,O00,O00,OOO
Cites Big Battle in France

clared that the great events now

soul Of every American with a new
determination to furnish all the dol

America that are needed to put an end
to the execrable atrocities of German
militarism.
Defeat faces the kaiser" he de-
clared. 'Let us hasten it by assert
ing Americas might with increased
vigor in concert with our gallant COM
rades. am sure that the people will
respond to the third Liberty loan with
the same loyalty and enthusiasm that
characterized their support of the first
two loans"
