Refers to Liberty Bonds.

The Secretary in his letter takes
up the question of liberty bonds, say
ing: MY attention has been directed
to the activities of INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons who have been operating ex-
tensively throughout the country and
who are swindiing the owners of lib
erty bonds by purchasing bonds at
prices far below their actual worth"
The Secretary says: These swim
dlers get the attention of liberty
bond owners by publishing advertise
ments calculated to make the un-
suspecting bond owner believe that
the highest market price can be Sc
cured for his bonds through the
agency of the advertiser. Such is rare
~. IL ever, the case Records of trans
actions OF this character brought to
the attention Of the Department of
Justice and the Treasury Department
prove conciusively that these swim
diers take every advantage of bond
owners who are forced into their
clutches by paying the lowest pos
siele price which the owner will &C.
cept and generally far below the
actual value of the bonds
regret to observe continues
SECRETARY Glass. that many reputable
newspapers are being vietimized by
accepting the advertisements of these
swindlefs. and / appeal TO all news
paper publishers to scrutinize very
carefully the character OF individuals
who use their columns to offer TO
buy liberty bonds. AS a newspaper
publisher ! believe il is the duty of
publishers to protect their readers
against interruptions advertisers"

Business End of Argument.

The financiers who take the busi-
ness end of the argument say that If
the bonds are fioated on the oasis
which the market says is right small
holders as well as the large holders
will be benefited and that If they are
floated on a basis that is more pa
triotic than businesslike the new
bonds will sink in price as those al
ready issued have done.

Calls Attention to Conditions.

The Secretary directs the attention
of the public, particularly such per-
sons as have made offers of the char
acter mentioned. to the following
terms and conditions which are print
ed on the back of the war saving
certificates of the series of 1918: This
certificate is of no value except to
the owner named hereon and is not
transferable; the law provides that
no one person shall at any time hold
war savings certificates to an aggre-
gate amount exceeding one thousand
dollars" The Secretary quotes other
terms printed on the certificates and
calls the attention of the banks to a
circular issued by the Treasury on
December Is. 1918. He says further:
In order that the interests of own
ers of war savings certificate stamps
of either series may be safeguarded /
hereby notify all persons to refrain
from offers to buy war savings stamps
or accept the same in trade. The Post
ONCE Department, cooperating with
the Treasury Department, has issued
instructions whereby payment will be
refused whenever it is apparent that
changes have been made in the name
OF the original owner of any certifi-
cate, which may be presented to post
ofhces for redemption. / earnestly re-
quest the newspapers and magazines
to give this matter the fullest amount
OF publicity, in order that the rights
of millions of people-investors in
United States government securities
may be fully protected"

In his letter Secretary Glass SAYS

is derived the funds to fight the
dreaded disease. Having performed
a great work crushing the hun. Am.
erica is now going after the enemy
at home which claims annually $780,

Der 1St-10th inclusive. the drive for
the sale of the Red Cross Christmas
seals will be on, and the funds thus
raised in Florida will be spent in
Florida to combat this menace which
in years past has thrown desolation

In cities and in towns throughout
the United States attractive posters
will be displayed which illustrate a
happy American family closing the
door against a hideous figure repre-
senting tuberculosis.
State Director Geo. W. Peck. who
is conducting sthis campaign has
written to the county chairman urg-

that they, wherever possible, paint
this slogan on windows, sidewalks;

.RABBIS BLESS MEAT
AS STEAMSHIP LOADS
First Kosher Meat In Five Years
Goes to European Jews
as Gift.

New York.-Included in the more
than $8,0O0,O00 worth of supplies sent
abroad by American Jewish relief
agencies thus far this year were sew
eraI hundred tons Of "koSher" meat.
The steamer Ashburn, which left here
some time ago for Danzig, carried 500
tons Of this commodity, while the
Huachuca, which has just sailed, is
carrying a smaller consignment TO Con-
stanza, Rumania.
Unusual interest attaches to both
these shipments. Prominent Jews Of
this city inspected the first cargo.
Jewish rabbis blessed the barrels of
meat as they were lowered into the
ships hold. The meat was a gift from
the Jews of America to their. CO.
reIigionists in Poland and other parts
of Europe. These European Jews have
eaten virtually no meat in five years,
for their religion prohibits them using
meat other than that killed by rabbi
and in an orthodox manner, and
kosher" meat has been unobtainable.
Among the other supplies sent in
these regular shipments are soap,
clothing, shoes and shoe-repairing ma
terials, large quantities of notions,
medicines, hospital supplies and a
long list of additional articles every
one Of which is lacking in the war
wrecked countries across the Atlantic.
Funds to continue these regular sail
,ings Of relief ships are now being
sought by the American Jewish Relief
Committee, whose headquarters are at
Is East 10th Street, this city. Louis
Marshall is chairman and Henry FL.
Rosenfelt director of this organiza-
ton. Campaigns are scheduled for
this fall in some twenty states, and 1t
is expected to bring the total contribu-
lions for Jewish relief this year up to
