gave up, although our ammunition
gave out and we we're shooting the
Germans with the ammunition taken
from the pockets Of their dead around
us in the woods, and although we were
shelled quite as often by our own
artillery behind us az by the enemy.
"Are you folks going to give up now
and let this Liberty Loan 20 unpaid ?
There are one million boys still on
the other side. The war viii not be

Conversion Features Make
Victory Notes Specially
Attractive to Persons of
Wealth, Says Banker
s25,OOO,OOO by Morgan
Eighteen More Towns Win
Honor Flags in Drive in
Second Reserve District

AS q financial proposition, the Vic
tory Liberty note is the most tempt
ing that has been offered by a great
government. according to Jacob II.
Schif, head of the banking firm of
Kuhn, Loeb e. Co.
The banker said that if the advan-
tages of the Victory note as an in
yestment we're generally understood,
the issue would forthwith be oversub-
scribcd.
"Thc Victory Liberty Loan" Mr..
Schif declared, from financial
point of view. is the most tempting
proposition that has ever been placed
by great government of undoubted
credit and sovency before the investor.
1t offers Az per cent interest, free
of normal taxation, which. in COM
parison with corporate bonds, equals
something like 5A per cent. Quite a
number of high class railroad bonds
return considerably less income.
"People of very large income can
free themselves from all surtaxes, and
also from state and municipal taxation,
which in some instances take away as
much as about 80 per cent of annual
income, by converting the Victory
Loan bonds into 3S4 per cent tax free
bonds, and with the short time the
notes have to run (four years. a larger
decline in market value can hardly be
expected"
