NEW LIBERTY LOAN
TO BE FLOATED SOON
Washington—Officials of the
Treasury department have an
nounced that the second Lilt-'
ertv loan will he floated on
Novecber 15. the amount of
the loan having been fixed at
$3,000,000,000, a billion more
than the first loan.
The initial loan was a huge
success in every respect. The
government called for two bil
lion dollars and over three
billion was subscribed for by
more than four million people.
This large subscription and
this large number of subscrib
ers were obtained, after a
short campaign, from a nation
that as a people were not ac
customed to purchasing gov
ernment bonds. The bond is
sues of other nations were
sold when the foe was either
on their territory or at their
very gates. The American
bonds were sold when danger!
was remote. There was no
duress, no excitement. The
bonds were bought in the calm
exercise of patriotism and cool
business judgment after a cam
paign of education ond inform
ation. The very gratifying
results obtained in the case of
the first loan convinces Secre-j
tary M’Adoo and other admin
istration officials that no diffi
culty will be experienced in
X securing subscriptions to the
second loan.
The bodies ot two natives
were brought to Nenana yes
terday for burial in the local
mission cemetery. The deaths
occurred at nearby camps, the
victims beiiijur a girl and a man
A double funeral was held at
tin* mission cemetery, on the
