President Of The United States ProcIams Friday, ns 2S
1915, As National War Savings Day
GOVERNORS AND MAYORS MAKE SIMILAR PROCLAMATONS
Meetings VIII Be Held In Every Community To
Secure Subscriptions For Wcr Savings Stamps

Pursuant to the proclamations OF
President of the United States and the
Governor of this State, /, War Savings
Director for Georgia, acting I'M
der the authority of the United
States Treasury Department, have
called all taxpayers and wage
earners to meet on Friday, June 2Sth
to give their subscriptions for War
Savings Stamps. In rural commune
ties and the smaller towns and cit
les, meetings will be held in the school
houses at 2 p. m.
Officers will conduct the meeting in
each school house, keeping record
Of the proceedings and reporting the
names of all persons present and the
amount of War Savings Stamps sub
scribed for by them. The names OF
absent persons, and of those who re
fuse or neglect to subscribe, with their
reasons for so doing, will also be re
ported.
War Savings stamps (which are
United States Government Bonds the
same as Liberty Bonds) can be paid
for during any month in the year
1918, but it is intended that subscrip
tons will be signed for them on June
2s.
The price of each War Savings
Stamp depends upon the month dur
ing which it is bought. During June
each Stamp will cost s417 In July
each Stamp will cost 34.1s, and so on
one cent more each month during
1918. On January 1, 1928, the Gov
eminent of the United States will re
deem all War Savings Stamps at $500
each, no matter during which month
in 1918 they were bought. They cost
less during the early months in 1915
than during the later months because
the person who buys earlier has loaned
his money to the Government for
longer time than if he should buy
later.
BY way Of illustration, note the fol
lowing table:

The law provides that no person can
hold in his own name War Savings
Stamps exceeding $1,000 maturity
value War Savings Stamps, however.
may be purchased for other members
of the family, including minor chill
dren.
The money invested in War Savings
Stamps is not gift, or a donation, but
is a loan to the Government. 1t will
be paid back with 4@6 compound in
terest If, because of some serious
financial reverses, or calamity, 1t
should be necessary to get your money
before January /, 1923, you may do so
by giving ten days notice to any
Money Order postmaster, in WHICH
case you can get what you paid for
the Stamps, with interest to date OF
payment The Stamps are free from
all State and local taxes; when reg
istsred at the Postofnce they are in
sured against loss; they are backed
by all the property in the United
States; they cannot fall in value be-
low the price you pay; they are as
convenient and as well paying an in
vestment as has ever been offered by
our Government
A definite quota of War Savings
Stamps has been assigned each school
district and community, which will be
announced at each meeting on June
2Sth. The Government Of the United
States expects all the citizens of every
school district and county to subscribe
for it's quota and to pledge themselves
to save and economic to help win
the war.
It is to be hoped that the subscrip-
lions taken at the meetings in your
county will show you and your neigh
bors to be loyal Americans to whom
cur Government, in this hour of need,
does not call in vain.
(Signed) HUGH RICHARDSON,
War Savings Director for Georgia ap-
pointed and acting under the author
ity of the Secretary OF the United
States Treasury. -.

German Liner Had Been At
tackled by U-Boat.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Thirty-five
persons, principally members of the
fireroom crew of the u. S. S. Mount
Vernon, formerly the German liner
Kronprinzessin Cecilie, were killed
when fhe ship was struck by torpedo
Thursday last, 200 miles off the French
coast, it was announced by the navy
department
Senator Landed Safely.
The official annOuncemnt states that
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illi-
nOis was one of the passengers re-
turning from Europe, and is among
those reported safely landed.
The Mount Vernon is one of the
great German ships taken over by the
United States, and has been used as a
transport. She was on her return to
the United States when struck.
Casualties Cause Surprise.
The news that so many of the ships
complement had been killed was a
great surprise to the navy officials, as
the first reports indicated that there
we're no casualties.
The belief that there were no fatali-
ties, however, was based principally on
the fact that the Mount Vernon was
able to put back into port under her
own steam and at 14-knot clip, which
was an indication that she had not
been hit in vital part so far as her
motive power was concerned.
The official dispatch from Vice Adj
miral Sims. however, states
"The torpedo struck the ship on the
starboard side, flooding No f1reroom,
but the extent of the damage Is not
stated"
This transport is the first of the
big United States ships to be hit
while a senator or other distin-
guished official was on board. When
she was obliged to return to the
United States upon the declaration Of
war she had on board among her
passengers Representative Richard
Bartholdt of Missouri.

Ship Has Interesting Past.

The Mount Vernon has an interest
ing history. AS the Kronprinzessin
Cecelie she was a well-known liner
plying between the American and Eng

attempted voyage to Cherbourg and
Plymouth, she was caught at sea by
the declaration of war against Ger
many. She had on board cOnsign-

S12,OO0,OO0 for account in Europe. The
agents of the ship in Germany sent
her code message which apparently

He understood 1t, however, and turned

She was lost for several days and
1t was supposed that she had been
captured by one of the cruisers of
the British North Atlantic squadron.
AS a matter of fact, her course would
take her near the cruising areas Of

When it became evident that the

the crew damaged the ship as much
as possible. On taking her over, the

Smoot also asserted the resolution
was introduced at the request of pub

of paper to rates below those agreed
by the manufacturers and government.
The measure was vigorously defended
by Senator Owen, who said such step
was necessary to break the power held
by the alleged paper monopoly over
