New-York tribune., 1918-10-16

Reliance is placed chiefly on the
patriotic appeal to put over the
Liberty Loan, and that ought, in
deed, to suffice. Every one should
be glad to lend the limit for love
of country, if for no other reason.
But there are selfish reasons for
buying Liberty bonds-plenty of
them. Never again, perhaps, will it
be possible to obtain a United States
government security-the premier
investment of the world-paying
Az per cent interest, and with good
prospect that it will go we'll above
par after the war. Never again will
it be possible TO buy our govern
ment's obligation with deprecated
dollars, knowing that in all proba-
bility they will be paid in money
commanding possibly twice the guam
tity of goods that the dollar will
buy now. Considered in that light,
the real yield may easily be several
times a n per cent. Never again will
it be possible to buy such bonds on
terms that enable the person of very
small income to participate on the
same basis as the millionaire. And
the opportunity to invest in these
bonds gives all of us-the rich man,
the poor man, the small business
and the great corporation-a chance
to build up liquid surplus to in
sure against trouble or want in the
uncertain times that lie ahead. AS
"shock absorbers" the bonds are as
good as a cash balance in the bank
and more easily acquired.

Stock Market Presents Its
Usual Saturday Barrenness

New York, Feb. 16.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today's short session of the stock
market was 4 typical Saturday affair;
that is to say, trading was restricted
and price changes were unimportant.
Aside from a few weak and some
strong spots, notably the shipping shares
among the latter, there was little in
the market for securities to attract OF
hold attention. The limited trading was
wholly of professional inspiration.
Changes among the steel, copper and
equipment groups were slight, although
there was finn undertone. Marine pre-
ferred touched par and Atlantic Gulf
100. Hide and Leather preferred was
also strong issue. General Motors, Ma
tional Conduit and one or two others
were reaetionary. Rails were neglected.
many Of the leaders not appearing al
all ON the tape until toward the close
and some not at all. Canadian Pacific
was soft.

over to the German zone. Soon after
many explosions and flashes were

American planes discovered during
the night that the Germans are
strengthening their second line. It is
known that the first line in many

to do with this.
