SpECULA1ORS TRY
TO GRAB LIBERTY
BONDS AT BARGAIN
People Urged Not to Sell Government
Securities at Sacrifice or EXCHANGE
Them For Questionable Paper.

Atlanta.-Reports are reaching the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta that
many owners of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
spectators are active in trying to
induce people to part with their Gov
eminent securities. Many of them
are Offering to take Liberty Bonds in
exchange for some other so-called
security which promises a higher
rate of interest than Liberty Bonds.
1t is pointed out by Treasury of.
ficials that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evil
dence of their value is the eagerness
of the Spectator to get possession of
them. He knows what they are worth
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value of the stock" or
bond he is offered In exchange for
Liberty Bonds have back of them
the entire resources of the United
States which makes them worth their
face value. The person who exchang.
es them for some other kind of paper
risks losing the money invested in
his bond as well as the interest.
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that the wars
over and they are no longer oblig.
ated to hold them. Although fighting
has ceased, the war will not be over
until the peace treaty is signed and
our soldiers are home. A Liberty Bond
is certificate of service and the ner.
son who sells them at a sacrifice is
deserving the cause. He is rejecting
on his own judgment and patriotism
and surrendering an investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
II Is recognized that there are times
when investors arc compelled to seek
rehef from financial distress. Often
their first impulse is to dispose of their
Liberty Bonds.
In such cases the bank is the placa
TO go. Banks will lend money ON I'm.
erty Bonds. The borrower is belnad
cut of his difficulty and does not ,ose
possession of his Government bond

The decision of the Treasury De-
partment to designate the new oohu

favor. The name carries the thought

The amount of the loan will be de-
termined by the needs of the Treas

will be about six Billion Dollars--the
same as the Fourth Liberty Loan. Inc
interest rate of the securities has not
been decided but assurances nave

Uncle Sam has engaged in 10 wars
has fought $500 battles and has lost

little wars, described in the records

in the Revolutionary war have surv-

$4,000, of which $4,000 were Union

1.-THE PRUSSIAN CUR"

When r. A. Walsh screened for
William Fox the gigantic film drama,
1.-THE Prussian Cur" he had two OBJ
Jects in view. One was to produce a
mighty panorama of the war; the
other was to reveal the menace of
the German spy system in America and
instil in every citizen deeper love for
his country. How well he succeeded
will be proved at the Warfield theatre
next Monday.
One of the most Sensational features
of the picture is the personal appear
ance on the screen of Capt. Horst Won
der Goltz, for ten years a German
secret agent, upon whose startling
revelations the film is based
THE Prussian Cur" goes back for
half century. 1t shows that, while
America was cultivating peace, Ger
many was welding the chains with
which she intended to bind the world
to the Hun war chariot.
Some of the great scenes in this
play have never been surpassed for
dramatic impressiveness. Among the
characters are figures who rank with
the greatest of all time-President
Wilson, General Pershing, General
Foch, Emperor Wilhelm, Won Tipitz,
Won Hindenburg. Bismarck, Won Bern
stoff. Abraham Lincoln, Ambassador
Gerard, besides many other prominent
officials and thousands of soldiers, sail
ors and civilians.
Stirring events in Washington.
strikes and mob violence, American
and German military movements, the
departure of the Lusitania, revolving
German atrocities, the mobbing and
execution of spy-scene after scene
is built into a massive pictorial temple
of patriotism.
THE Prussian Cur" has a cast of
players chosen especially for their
fitness to portray commanding his
toric characters.
The war atmosphere is frightened by
an exquisite love story of a young
factory worker and girl. both devoted
to the cause of liberty. who are drawn
together by the world tragedy. |

The future development of the port
of Pascagoula is largely dependent on
public cooperation. The institution
of commission form of municipal gov
vernment was not only timely, but a
wise undertaking. The immediate i'm
provement of the public thoroughfares,
the immediate extension OF rail facil-
tiles with the International Shipbuild-
ing plant, the immediate deepening of
the ships channel and the immediate
institution OF sewerage are problems
that should be solved without hesita-
ton or friction. The idea of many
that some one has an AK to grind is
erroneous; confidence in the city
officials and confidence in the merits
of our location, may cause better in
dustrial and financial conditions for
years to come. The promoter, the
capitalist and the workman, are all
impressed with the natural advantages
OF our port and harbor.

TREASURY
MAN FOR LARCENY

Charles H. Turnbull. sixty years
old. and employee Of the Treasury De-
partment. was indicted by the grand
jury today for larceny, it ching al
legged that he appropriated $66.967
worth of lawful money" which had
been macerated.
The accused had been a member of
the macerating committee in the
United States Treasury for the last
three months and it was his duty to
assist at the maceration, and con-
denim certificates and bank notes.
1t is alleged that Turnbull collect
ed small parts of these bills which
he afterward 'pieced together. Turn
bull was arrested last Saturday and
it was claimed by Inspector Flye, OF
the Secret Service, that he found more
than $1,000 in Turnbulls house
