Proof of U S Code Disclosure in 1916 German Messages

Second Liberty Bond Issue Detailed With Terms
Washington Sept 28 Secretary McAdoo announced the second Liberty loan offering to the public on October 1. The issue aims at three billion dollars or more, with denominations of 50 and multiples thereof, maturity twenty five years, redeemable at the secretary's option after ten years. Interest is four percent semiannually on May 15 and November 15. Payments begin with two percent on application and staged payments through January 15, 1918. Convertible option allows exchange for higher rate bonds, with printer arrangements to reduce interim certificates and speed delivery. The government may allot more than three billion if subscriptions exceed that amount, but at least half of excess subscriptions may be applied. Bonds are tax exempt and pay interest from November 15, with par and accrued interest at issue.
