INTEREST Will Be For $8,000,000,000 or More, McAdoo Announces ‘Washington, Sept. 28.—By direction of President Wilson the second offer- ing of United States Liberty Loan bonds to help defray the expenses of the war will be made by Mr. McAdoo, the secretary of the treasury, on Oc- tober 1. The loan will be for “three billlon or more dollars” of four per cent. convertible gold bonds, exempt from taxation, and Mr. McAdoo con- fidently expresses the opinion that the total number of subscribers will reach at least ten millions and the total subscriptions will be in excess of five billion dollars. “Such a response,” said Mr. Mec- Adoo, in an official statement, ‘“would be notice to our enemies that the American people as a whole intend to support with all their power their government in the vigorous prosecu- tion of the war and the achievement of an early and lasting peace.” The exact amount of the bond issue will depend upon the amount of the subscription received. Half of all the subscriptions in excess of three bil- lions will be alloted, so that if sub- scriptions for five billions are re- ceived the loan will total four bil- lions. The treasury department is going to launch a lively publicity campaign, which will begin October 1 and end October 27. The first Liberty Loan bonds wero issued at three and one-half per cent. but under the law their interest auto- matically is increased to meet that of all subsequent issues. The first loan ‘was for two billlons and it was over- subscribed more, than a mijllion dol- lars. Features of the Doan. The chief features are: Amount—§3,000,000,000 or more, the excess not to exceed ome-half of the amount of over-subseription. Term of Bonds—Maturity twenty- five years. Redeemabls st the option of the secretary of the treasury, in ten years. Denominations of Bonds—$50 and multiples of $50. Interest Rate—Four per cent. pay- able semi-annually on November 15 and May 16. Terms of Payment—Two per cent. upon application, eighteen per cent. November 15, forty per cent. Decem- ber 14, and forty ver zent. January 16, 1918. The privilege of converting bonds of this issue into bonds of any succeed- ing 1ssue bearing a higher interest rate then four per cent. during the period of the war is extended, and through an arrangement under which bonds will be printed with only four coupons in- stead of fifty (to be exchanged at the end of two years for the bonds con- talning the full number of coupons) deliveries will be prompt. In this manner the issue of interim certifi- cates will be avoided. Statement by McAdoo, Secretary McAdoo, in his announce- ment, said. ‘“With the approval of the president, I have determined to offer on Octo- ber 1, 1917, three billion or more dol- lars of United States of America four per cent. convertible gold bonds, due on November 15, 1942, and subject to redemption at the option of the United States at par and accrued interest on and after November 15, 1927. The bonds will bear interest from Novem- ber 15, 1917, and the interest will be payable on May 15 and November 15 in each year. “The exact amount of bonds to be {ssued under this offering will depend on the amount of subscription re- celved. It is, of course, to be expect- ed that subscriptions considerably in excess of three billion dollars will be received, and in that event the right 18 reserved to allot bonds in excess of three billion dollars to the extent of not over one-half of the sum by which the subscriptions received exceed three billion dollars. If subscriptions to the extent of five billion dollars are filled, four billion dollars of bonds may be allotted. “The bonds shall be exempt, both as to principal and interest, from all tax- atfon now or hereafter imposed by the United States, any state or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority, except (a) estate or inheritance taxes and (b) graduated additional income taxes, commonly known as surtaxes, and ex- cess profits and war profits taxes, now or hereafter imposed by the United States, upon the income profits of in- dividuals, partnerships, associations or corporations. The interest on an amount of bands and certificates au- thorized by said act, the principal of which does not exceed in the aggregate $5,000, owned by any individual, part- nership, association or corporation, shall be exempt from the taxes pro- vided for in clause (b) above. e —— e PUT UP A KICK. Boston School Teachers Do Not Liko Idea of Saving Coal. Boston, Sept. 28.—Boston teachers do not like the schoolboard’s method of economizing in the use of coal by refusing to have school buildings Hheated on cold days this fall. The teachers club, in a protest submitted to the board last night asserted that the arrangement was ‘‘working great hardship to pupils and teachers” who were forced to work in a ‘“vault-like chill.”” The board refused to rescind the order, asserting that there would be no suffering if pupils and teachers would come ‘o school “suitably ~lothed.” See our New Tallored Suits at $25.00, $20.50, $25.00, $46. $55.00.
