Name P. O R. F. D State TWO BAVARIAN OFFICIALS KILLED KURT EISNER IS SHOT TWICE IN THE HEAD ON WAY TO THE FOREIGN OFFICE HERR AUER ALSO MURDERED Herr Auer Is Shot Speaking To Diet On Eisner Tragedy—Two Others Seriously Wounded Washington.—Bavaria has lost two cabinet ministers by assassination. Kurt Eisner, the premier, was shot and killed at Munich, while he was on his way to the Bavarian foreign ministry, and Herr Auer, minister of the hiterioi', was shot while he was addressing the diet on the assassina tion of Eisner. A dispatch from Copenhagen says that Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian pre mier, was shot and killed by Lieut. Count Arcovalley, as Eisner was on his way from the foreign ministry in Munich to the diet. This is the gist of a news item by way of Munich. The shooting occurred in the Pranner strasse and death resulted from two shots fired from behind into his head. The count was wounded severely by a guard and is reported to be dying. Eisner’s body was carried into the for eign ministerv, where it lies in the porter’s lodge. Soon after the shoot ing and police authorities arrived to investigate the assassination. There was great excitement in the streets of the city. The diet, which was hold ing its first session, adjourned defi nitly. Kurt Eisner, who seized the reins of government in Bavaria after the deposition of the royal family early in November, was a Socialist of the more radical type, and recent reports from Munich have been that he was heading a Spartacan movement against the Moderate and Conservative fac tions in Bavaria. The Arcovalley fam ily has been prominent in Bavaria and Germany for years. Eisner, a Jew, was born in Galicia and at one time was editor-in-chief of The \ orwaerts of Berlin. He was arrested last April by the Bavarian government, and was reported to have committed suicide in prison. The Best and Most Popular Low-Priced General Newspaper and Magazine In the Country lower price, and yet something that carries all the essential features of a daily and the interesting features of a good magazine. The Tri-Weekly Constitution is just the publication to fill this place. It costs but $1.50 a year—so it is rea sonable in price. It is published three times a week —so its frequency of publication supplants this feature of a daily. It carries the full Asso ciated Press Cable and Telegraph dis patches, besides its own special serv ice—so the news is absolutely relia ble, covers the entire surface of the world and the telegraph insures swift ness. Its market prices are the very latest up to the minute of going to press; the superfluous news of the city of publication and large advertise ments that do not interest the far-off reader are eliminated. In short, The Tri-Weekly Constitution is a compact newspaper for the man who wants in formation. It carries a brilliant editorial page, departments for farmers, women, chil dren, "a poultry department, automo bile department, Sunday school les son, a weekly sermon by a distinguish ed minister, Frank Stanton’s inimita ble column, the very best fiction sto ries obtainable, photos of distinguish ed people, news pictures from all over the world, cartoons, humorous pic A Munich dispatch says that Herr Auer, Bavarian minister of the inte rior, has been shot. The shooting took place during a session of the landtag, while Auer was alluding to the assas sination of Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian premier. Auer fell wounded in the left side and Deputy Osel was killed and two other officials were seriously wounded. The shots were fired from the public gallery and caused a panic among the deputies. The Diet build ing is now being guarded by the mil itary. BLOCKADE HAS BEEN LIFTED ON THE GERMAN COLONIES Washington.—lmmediate resump tion of trade between the United States and the colonial possessions held by Germany on August I. 2 914, is permitted under an order issued by the war trade board. “This authorization,” said the board’s announcement, “permits all persons in the United States, subject to the rules and regulations of the war trade board, to trade and com municate with persons residing in colonies which were owned or con trolled by Germany on August 1, 1914. This extensive authorization will in clude the areas in Africa, known as German East Africa, German South west Africa, and Kamerun. It also includes Kiauchau in Asia. Among the islands of the Pacific included are Bismarck archipelago, Caroline is lands, Solomon islands and Marshall islands, as well as German Samoa. “In opening all these German col onies to the resumption of trade, ap plications will hereafter be favorably considered for licenses to export or import all commodities to consignees or from consignors in such territory'.” Although no formal announcement to that effect was made, it was under stood that the decision to open trade with the former German colonies was reached in accord with the allied gov ernments. • Prince Leopold Prisoner At Munich Geneva. —Prince Leopold, former commander-in-chief of the German ar mies on the Russian front, has been imprisoned at Munich on suspicion of being one of the instigators of the murder of Premier Eisner. A list of the persons to be assasinated by the reactionaries is said to have been found, and it is asserted that it has been decided to take twenty hostages from among the aristocratics. All the students in the university have been searched. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH GEORGIA. SHORT TERM BONDS AT HIGH INTEREST FOR VICTORY LOAN Fifth Issue of Liberty Bonds Will Be Most Attractive Investment of All, in the Opinion of Finan cial Experts The fifth issue of Liberty bonds, or “Victory Bonds” as they will be called, will offer the investor the most attrac tive opportunity of any issue made by the government, according to a tentative agreement made by Secre tary of the Treasui’y Carter Glass with the ways and means committee of the National House of Representa tives. It is considered probable that the bonds will pay a higher rate of inter est than any of the previous issues, but they will be issued for shorter terms, maturing in from one to five years. The government does not wish to assume the obligation of a high in terest rate for a long period of years, but is willing to pay an attractive rate during the present unsettled condi tions. It is expected that events will so shape themselves in the next few years that a holder of these short term bonds, after drawing a good in terest rate until they mature, will then be able to “cash them in” and invest the returns in business or in other forms of securities at an advantage ous time. For this reason it is ex pected that the new bonds will find a ready market. Secretary Glass announces that an intensive popular campaign for the Victory loan will start not later than April 21. It is not expected that any definite statement as to interest tax ex emptions or other details will be made much in advance of that date, as con ditions are constantly changing. But that the new bonds will be made an at tractive investment is considered cer tain. Secretary Makes Statement An official statement issued by Sec retary Glass follows: “The Victory Liberty Loan campaign will begin not later than April 21. The tures, the very best jokes and humor ous stories —in fact, it is a veritable mine of the best magazine features. And it comes three times a week. No waiting till next week or next month—one copy is scarcely disposed of until the next one is at hand, right in your mail box. The Tri-Weekly Constitution is not only the best, but it is the biggest newspaper of its kind anywhere. With in the past few months it was in creased from a 7-column to an 8-col umn page, thus giving one more col umn of news matter ‘on every page. In an 8-page paper this amounts to 8 columns more to the issue. The subscription price of The Tri- Weekly Constitution was increased CUT HERE Publisher Tri-Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. —Find herewith $6.00, for which send The Trl-Weekly Constitution one year to the following: Name | Postoffice * | R. F. D. | State I I I I I I I I I I ! I I : I In accordance with your offer, send me The Tri-Weekly Constitution one year for getting up this club of four from $1 a year to $1.50 last Novem ber. This was necessary in order that we could meet the increased expenses of publication, a fact that was realized by our nearly 200,000 paid-in-advance subscribers, and who are renewing their subscriptions as they expire. Send your $1.50 and get The Tri-Weekly Constitution started coming as a tri weekly visitor to your home. If you prefer, get up a club of four yearly subscribers at $1.50 and send them to us with $6. We will send you The Tri-Weekly Constitution one year for getting up this club. You will find thereby how easy it is to get subscribers for The Tri-Weekly Con stitution and will want to act as our requirements of the treasury are im perative and cannot be financed with out such a campaign. The form and terms of the securities to be issued remain to be determined. Whether they be bonds or notes, it is absolutely [ essential that the widest possible 1 measure of distribution be realized. This will necessitate a campaign of the same character as that conducted in the past through the existing Lib erty Loan organizations. They have pledged again their united support in order that the Victory Liberty Loan bonds or notes may be distributed as widely as possible among the Ameri can people.” This furnishes the first official no tice of the date of the campaign, and disposes of the rumor that securities would be disposed of among the banks instead of being offered the general public.

He finished one job in France when he helped to drive the Huns back across the Rhine. Uncle Sam and the Allies are finish ing another now, at the peace table in Europe, where they propose to stop wars forever. We are going to finish another at home, by paying the big bills this war cost us. The Victory Loan will attend to that. The job is not finished until the bills are paid. We went into this war on a big scale, which was the only way to win. We couldn’t provide men and muni tions and ships and food in a hand to-mouth way. The big scale on which Uncle Sam went to work was one thing that made the Kaiser quit so quickly. He saw we were in the war to the finish. There is to be just one more Lib erty loan—the Victory loan, and that will wind up the job. It will take around five billion dol lars to pay the war bill. Uncle Sam proposes to borrow the money from his nephews, on short term bonds at a good interest rate. Every man in the country is to be asked soon to do his share in finish ing this job and wiping the slate clean.
