revolt quickly spread to the navy and
many of the warships refused to answer
queries sent out by the admiralty.
An airplane appeared over Athens and

by Gonatas and demanding the resigna-
tion of the government and the abdicl-
ton of the king This created turmoil

GOVERNMENT WARNS
PUBLIC AGAINST
FAKE FINANCING

Postmaster Thomas j. Linthicam is
cooperating in nationwide cam
paign of the Government to protect
the American people against fake and
unwise investments and to bring hid
den surplus funds into circulation
The Government is warning people
against financial transactions with
strangers and advising them 10 put
their money in good securities, place
their funds in banks, or invest in
Treasury Savings Certificates at the
postofficc. 1t is difficult to convict
swind,erS who obtain money from an
suspecting people in this manner un-
til some of the Federal laws have
been broken.
Department officials say they are
amazed that people will pass by a
bank or the postoffice, which offer
protection of funds and safe invest
ment, to hand their money over to
some smooth-talking swiadler about
whom they know nothing. Possmas-
tiers have heen called upon by the De-
partment TO use their influence in
every way possible TO prevent the loss
OF millions of dollars each year
through INSCRIPTIONS promoters and
swindlers
Postmaster Linthicum says: 81 am
sending letters to the patrons OF this
office, even to those of limited means,
calling their attention to an invest
ment guaranteed both as to principal
and interest by the United States Gov
eminent and which will increase %
per cent. in five years, Through this
postofflce it is possible to purchase a
S25 Treasury Savings Certificate for
$50. 500 Certificate for $50, and a
$1,000 Certificate for $500, represent
ing an investment yielding, at pur-
chase price. Az per cent interest,"
compounded semi-annually. If the
purchaser wishes to cash bis certifi-
cate before the end OF five years, he
can get his money back with interest

the people of this community will take
advantage OF this offer or pu, their
money into a bank as a protection
against possible loss"
