est will be paid to you every May 15

Q. Is there any way I can collect
my interest without having to cut the
coupons?
A. Yes; you can get the govern-

Q. Are Liberty bonds exempt from

A. The bonds are exempt, both as

state or any of the possessions of the
United States, or by any local taxing
authority, except:
(a) Estate or inheritance taxes.
(b) Graduated additional income

sociations.

A. Yes; the local assessor or tax

personal property.
Q. Is the government likely to of-
fer other bonds for sale during the
war?
A. Yes.
Q. Suppose the government offers
bonds in the future which will pay a
higher rate of interest than 4 per
cent?
A. If so, the holder of a Liberty
bond will have the right to exchange
this bond for the one bearing the high-
er rate of interest.
Q. How can I buy the bonds of,
the second Liberty loan?
A. By filling out an application
blank and handing it to any bank or
trust company, bond dealer or broker,
or to one of the federal reserve banks

Q. When can this application for
bonds be made?
A. At any time from the first day
of October to the close of business on
tie 27th day of October, 1917.
C. Must the full price of bonds be
paid on application?
A. No; only 2 per cent of the
amount you want to buy is required
when application is made. ,

At a meeting of the board of col-
legiate alumni held yesterday after-
noon it was decided that the board
would serve refreshments at the regu-
lar Michigan Union dance Saturday
night. The money which may be real-
ized from this venture will go to the
support of the Michigan branch of the
American university union in Paris.
This first serving of refreshments is
to be in the nature of an experiment.
If the board is successful, it will prob-
ably undertake to, serve at all of the
Union dances, thus enabling the danc-
ers to refresh themselves without
leaving the building.
The following committee was ap-
pointed at 'the meeting: Mrs. John
Waite, chairman; Miss Elizabeth
Dean, and Mrs. E'ans Holbrook. The
movement is heartily supported by
Dean Myra B. Jordan and by the Union
officials.
"The plan of the board will be a
convenience to the students as well
as a means of supporting the Michi-
gan branch of the American Univer-
sity Union," said Homer L. Heath, '07,
general secretary of the Michigan
Union. "It deserves the hearty sup-
port of all those who attend the
Union dances."
Q. When must the remainder be
baid?
A. In installments as follows: 10
per cent on November 15, 1917; 40 per
cent on December 15, 1917, and 40 per
cent on January 15, 1918.
Q. Can I buy a bond on the install-
ment plan by paying for it weekly or
monthly?
A. The treasury department will
not accept payments in this manner
but many banks and a great many
employers will sell you a bond and
allow you to pay for it in partial pay-
ments. If you desire to pay for your
bonds in this way, consult your em-
ployer or any banker.
Q. When will the subscriber know
how many bonds they will receive on
their subscriptions?
A The secretary of the treasury
will announce this about the 6th of
November, 1917. This is known as
making the "allotment."
Q. Must all subscribers to Liberty
bonds wait until the allotment is made
to know whether or ,not they will re-
ceive their bonds?
A. No; a subscriber for bonds up
to $1,000 is certain to receive his bond.
Q. To whom shall I make pay-
ments?
A. Payments can be made to the
treasury department at Washington
or to one of the 12 federal reserve
banks in cash, by bank draft, certified
check, postoffice money order, or ex-
press company money orders, but s&
scribers are urged to make all p
ments on their bonds to the bank with
whom they placed their subscriptions.
Q. Can a woman own a Liberty
bond as her personal property?
A. A Liberty bond is the personal
property of the purchaser or of the
person to whom the purchaser may
sell or assign it. If it is a registered
bond, the record of its ownership is
a matter of government record. A
Liberty bond is therefore the property
of the woman who buys it until she
disposes of it.
OHIO STATE IS EXPECTING
ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM
Columbus, o., Oct. 18.-Ohio State,
Western conference champions of 1916,
are going to make a strong bid for
titular honors again this year, for
State seems to be fully as strong as
a year ago when they went through
the season without defeat.

The line may be a triffe weaker
than last year, but the backfield built
around the incomparable "Chick"
Harley looks stronger. Team play,'
too, is much more developed than it
was a year ago at this time..
Some idea of the strength of State
may be gleaned from the fact that
she opened the season by giving to
Case the worst defeat in her history
and it must be remembered that Case
has been playing Michigan annually
for more than a decade.
Informal Reception at Harris Hall
An informal reception and dance
was given Wednesday at Harris hall
to Episcopal students. President H.
B. Hutchins, Registrar A. G.. Hall,
Prof. G. W. Patterson, Prof. Mortis
P. Tilley, and other members of the
faculty were present.'

CARS FLINHT DESCRI1E
BY PROMINENT RUSSiAN
FEELING AGAINST FORMER RUL-
ER NECESSITATE' WATCH.-
FULNESS
Harbin, Manchuria, Oct. 18.-The
journey of Nicholas Romanoff, form-
erly emperor of'Russia, from Tsarkoe
Selo to Tobolsk, which was accom-
plished without the knowledge of sol-
diers and civilians along the railway
zone which he passed, is described in
detail by a prominent Russian now in
Harbin, who has personal knowledge
of the secret trip.
Because of the feeling against the
Romanoff family it was not advisable
to use the former emperor's own train.
Instead three ordinary first class
sleeping cars were provided for M.
Romanoff, his family and their attend-
ants. Three hundred soldiers also ac-
companied the party.
The train started from Tsarkoe Selo
very early in the morning of August
15. M. Kerensky, the Russian premier,
personally bade the former imperial
family goodbye.
Five-Day Journey
The journey required five days. All
stops at stations were as short as pos-
sible, and the members of the party
kept concealed while at large stations.
Every evening after dinner the train
stopped for an hour at some wayside
station or remote switch that Nicholas
ands his family might have an oppor-
tunity to exercise. Throughout the
trip he seemed to be in the best of
health, and took an interest in his sur-
roundings. He was extremely agree-
able to all the members of the party.
The former empress, Alexandra
Alix, remained in her apartment
throughout the journey, where meals
were served to her and her son Alexis.
She had the appearance of a woman
suffering from nervous prostration.
All the four former grand duchesses
were in excellent health and seemed
to be in lively spirits every day. All
had their heads shaved, a practice
popular with Russian women today in
order to make their hair grow better.
Little Alexis, although limping slight-
ly, apparently had recovered from his
recent illness. 1
Troops Threaten
At Krasnoyarsk, a Siberian city,
where anarchical agitators hold sway,
the railroad station for three days had
been crowded with soldiers, who were
anxious to capture the imperial family
but when the troops learned where
Nicholas and his family were being
sent, they discontinued their hostile
demonstration.
Tobolsk is the capital of the prov-
ince of the same name, and was form-
erly the ancient capital of old Siberia.
It has been an important refuge for
political exiles for many years, and
Nicholas and his familyare quartered
in a building originally erected for
exiles and recently altered.
Rasputin, the monk who figured
tragically in the downfall of the
Romanoffs, was born in the province
of Tobolsk and erected a monastery
in the capital.

Those who like farce comedy will
enjoy a good laugh when Miss Whit-
ney and her associates produce the
laugh producing comedy, "Hello Bill,"
here for the remainder of the week.
This popular. comedy has not been
seen here in recent years and as it
has a touch of the "military" to it, it
should prove doubly amusing. The
comedy is built for laughing purposes
and the characters are natural. Popu-
lar dances prevail.

01' Jupiter Stops
Rac quet Tourney
The weather man seems determined
that there should be no tennis
tournament this year, and to show his
determination he has poured rain on
the courts in such quantities that the
enthusiasts have been afraid to ven-
ture on them for fear of miring.
Since the play started there have
been but two days when the courts
'were in any condition at all to use
and then they were too soft for a ve",
fast set. "The tournament will be
'played,if it takes all winter to finish
it," was the statement made by Mr.
Hamer, '18E, yesterday, but he (lid
not mean by this that the men should
let any good weather go by without
taking advantage of it. On the on-
trary, he desires to get the tournament
over in as short time as possible,
and should any sunny days be allow-
ed to go by, those who have then not
played their match in the first two
rounds, will be taken from the list by
default.
In answer to the question regarding
the play of the new men, Mr. Hamer
said that, while in the past years it
had been the custom for a stranger to
step in and carry off the bacon, he did
not think that any of the new men
'would go to the finals this year. "Of
course,'' said Mr. Hamer, "at this
stage of the game this is more or less
guess work but the younster that
'wins the cup 'this year will have to
play a fast game every minute of the
Xway."
