I.IHKKTY BONDS TO BB PAID
Mellon Lalls Second Liberty lx>an
Bonds for Payment No\. 15
Washington, I). C., May 9.-Score
tary Mellon has called for payment
Ion November 15, 1927, all outstanding
second liberty loan bonds. Interest
on these bonds will cease on November
15, 1927. Approximately
$ 1,700,000,0(K! of these lx>ndt> are now
outstanding.
While the bonds will l>e paid on
November 15, 1927, it is quite probable
that during the next six months
the treasury will extend to the holders
of the Second Liberty lx?an bonds
an opportunity to exchange them for
other government securities. No announcement
has as yet been made aa
to the type of security to be offered
in exchange, or the date on which the
exchange offer may be expected. The
treasury explains that the terms of
the bonds require that a notice be
given to the public six months in advapce
of the redemption date. The
secretary's announcement, therefore,
does not mean that the bonds will be
paid at the presgut time, but merely
places the holders on notice that their
bonds will be redeemed on November
15, and will cease to bear interest on
that date.
If holders of second liberties desire
to have their bonds redeemed,
they should present them for payI
ment on November 15, 1927, but if
they desire other government obligations
in place of their Seconds, they
should watch for further announcement
and notify their bank to keep
them informed of any exchange offering
that may later be made by the
treasury.
In 1917 and 1918, it will be recalled,'
when the government was selling
bonds of the several liberty loans, a
nation-wide campaign was conducted,
every available facility being used to
reach the public and sell the bonds.
The situation is now practically reversed,
and the government is pre- j
paring to redeem or exchange some
of these bonds. While no such elaborate
canvass is contemplated for the
redemption notice as was undertaken
in U? 17, the treasury nevertheless ia
making a special effort to iiiform the
holders of second liberty loan bonds
thai their bonds will cease to bear in
Ureal on .November 16. Hanks and
trust c ompanies throughout the coun- j
try will be asked to co-operate with
the government in spreading the news
of this call for redemption, and in
advising the holders of bonds that the
treasury will probably offer new securities
in exchange. For the first
time the radio will be used by the
government us a means of reaching
millions of bondholders. An announcement
will shdrtly be broadcast
from the larger radio stations of the
country.
The importance of acquainting
bondholders with the fact that their
bonds have been called for payment
is emphasized by the treasury's
records of previous call* for redemption
or exchange. These records
show that./there are still outstanding
at the present time, in the hands of
the public, about 130,000,000 in government
Securities upon which interest
has ceased. Included in this
amount are $3,600,000 In victory notes
which ceased to bear interest in 1922
and 1023. There are also outstanding
$14,500,000 in temporary bonds of the J
several liberty loans, to which were
attached only a limited number of interest
coupons. The last coupons
matured some seven years ago. The
holders of these temporary bonds
have neglected to exchange them for
permanent bonds having the full number
of interest coupons attached, and
until suth exchange is made they have
no means of collecting the interest.
In the face of these facts, the treasury
is Especially anxious that the
present announcement reach as many (
second ttberty loan bondholders as it
is possible to reach through the press,
the radio, and the bankB of the coun
try.
'J'he second liberty loan, which was
issued in November, 1917, was the
second large loan floated by the government
during the. World war, and
while thia loan does not mature until
1942, the condition of the money
market and of the government's
finances makes it possible and advisable
to call the bonds for redemption
in November.
Firebug Not Found
Hock Hill, May 7.?'Investigators
were baffled today in their efforts to
discover a firebug who attempted to
j set fife to a large warehouse in the
city's business district last night and
who is believed by authorities to have
beep responsibly for a series of
major fl^es during the last several
months.
Chief of Police Merritt last night
prevented the burning of the cottonfilled
warehouse when he pulled from
under the building a blazing bundle
of oil-soaked cotton waste, taken from
the wheels of a freight car. On two i
other occasions similar materials obtained
from the same source have
been found in burning buildings. With
one exception the major fires of the
last several months which hava caused
|200,000 loss, occurred on Fridays.
