BABY BONDS WILL
BE SOLD; STARTS
ON NEXT MONDAY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo announces a plan whereby anyone can help win
the war by buying “war savings certificates”by a method
as simple as buying postage stamps. Starting nert Mon
day, December third, anyone so desiring may invest as
little as a Quarter of a dollar in time certificates which
«i
will yield four per cent compounded quarter annually.
Complaints were heard that the fifty dollar Liberty
Bonds were too expensive for some persons to purchase
who were anxious to lend their smaller sums to the gover
i ament. This new plan is to accommodate such citizens.

SHIPPING BOARD HAS
NEW MANAGER
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1. —
Rear Admiral Frederick R. Harris,
chief of the United States navy’s bu
reau of yards and d^cks, has been
named to succeed Rear Admiral
Washington L. Capps, resigned, as
general manager of the United States
shipping board’s emergency fleet cor
poration.
N Dtf LOAN
j TO E IN
j FEBRUARY
—
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. — It is
confidently stated here by financial
experts that the next Liberty loan
will be subscribed in February, if not
sooner.
The government expects to raise
something like eighteen billion dol
lars by the end of the fiscal year
which terminates June 30 next.
The first Liberty Loan netted ex
actly two billions. The second one
called for three billions minimum,
with 50 per cent of all over-subscrip
tions. As something like five billions
were offered by the people, this will
make the second loan not close to
four billion dollars.
The government expects to raise
by direct taxation through the war
revenue bill something like four bil
lion dollars. This makes six billion#
through bo nds and four billions
j through bonds, and four billions
i eight billions to be secured, unless
some sudden and at present unfore
seen circumstance makes the figures
leap skyward.
It is the opinion of Treasury De
1 partment officials and of captains of
finance that loans must not come
closer together than one every 90
days. This is especially necessary
with regard to the third one, as tne
Christmas holidays are coming upon
us.
So it is not a wild guess to say the
third Liberty Loan will come in Feb
ruary and that the goal will be four
billion dollars—three to be the mini
mum and the balance to be obtained
from the oversubscriptions.
