SPREAD TO HINDER FOURTH
LIBERTY LOAN.
RuMoRED AT Many PLACES


Federal authorities are calling at
tentfon to pro German mmor that
has been I'm circulation for some weeks
that the Government. or some other
body unnamed, Is to seize all savings
banks deposits for war purposes. OF
course this is' nothing more nor less
than q pro-German lie stated by some
kaiserite or some wealS-kneed and
weak-brained American who might as
well have been in the Kaiser's pay
II Is difficult to believe that any sane
person in America would believe such
a report for minute. However, II Is
reported at Wa y ngtcn that It Is being
believed by few easily fooled per.
sons. Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo says that the foc'ishness os,these
rumors is plain. but In order to set at
rest the fears of few who might be
worried he states officially that these
rumors are without any basis Of fact;
In brief Trey arc plain iios put out TO

W germany SnCuiu VIM.
y There Is only one thing that win en-.
danger the banx deposits of America.
There IN only one way in which they
might be sonfiscated. That one thing
Is a domsn victory. II the Huns
could defeat us and the French, Brit
ish and italians in Europe and invade
this country. then there is but little
doubt hat savings accounts, stocks,
bonds, jewelry. gold, real estate and
everything in the way Of property
would be con6scated
The one thing that will take away
ownership in private property In this
country Is to let the Germans win the
war. either by actual rec of arms or
through the failure Of Americans TO
support the war q; they ehould by buy
ing Liberty Bonds or paying taxes.
It If foolish to fear that our own
Government Is going to damage the
people Of this eodntfy44its ownipeople,
With the American armies flshiing as
well es they are now on the soil OF
France. and the American people from
coast to coast supporting the army as
they row are and have been through

from the fact that II appeared = vide
