' Privilege of Converting Four
Per Cent Bonds Expires Nov. 9
Secretary McAdoo has issued the
following statement to holders of 4
' per cent bonds of the first Liberty
) Loan converted and 4 per cent bonds
of the second Liberty Loan:
The privilege of conversion which
i arose in consequence of the issue of
I 4 per cent bonds of the third Liberty
.1 Loan will expire on November 9 and
under existing law caanot be extended
lor renewed. Holders of these 4 per
j cent bonds lose nothing by exercising
I the privilege of conversion and gain
j one-fourth of 1 per cent interest per
M annum. Holders of 4 per cent bonds
should not wait until the last moment
j to exercise the privilege of conver1
sion. but proceed to do so promptly.
' Delay will result in overburdening
'ithe banking institutions of the coun|
try and the Treasury Department by
' making it necessary to handle all
'j conversions at the last moment, and
' may result in the loss of the privilege
or conversion altogether.
Holders of coupon bonds are
i strongly advised to request issue of
registered bonds in order to protect
. themselves against the risfc Qf loss,
i theft and destruction of their bonds.
Official Department Circular No.
I 114, with forms of application, has
i been distributed to Federal Reserve
i banks and banks and trust companies
throughout the United States. These
t institutions are asked, as a matter of
of patriotic service, to assist bond,,
holders In exchanging 4 per cent
, j bonds for 4*4 per cent bonds and in
I registering their bonds.

American Grenade
Much Stud
BY CAPTAIN S. W
(Written especially for the sol<
There has been much misconception
regarding the so-called "American
Grenade," or, indeed, regarding
grenades as a whole, and the tendency
to regartjLthem as fit playthings
for the Suicide Club has been in
1 creased by wild and absurd stories of
the number of casualties due to accidental
explosions of the article.
There have been accidents, of j
course, but the greater part of them
will be found to have occurred in the
early days of warfare and either with
the home-made variety of grenade,
such as the "jam-tin" and "hair-i
brush," with their inaccurate fuses
and necessity of guessing at the'
prpper moment to tljrow. or elBe with
the first output of the original de-|
signs of grenade.
The grenades as used at present!
arc a very different weapon from I
those earlier types, for as fast as defects
developed they were remedied

In the design of the American
grenade it was possible to profit by
all the earlier mistakes of tae/6*T fr
isting types, selecting the best features
of them all and embodying
them in a grenade which cpnld |
manufactured cheaply and could be
quickly gotten into production. 4ts.
action had of necessity to resemote
the other types, as our armies were
to fight side by side with the J?rpnch
and British, and where possible their
weapons should be interchangeable^
As a result we have the reteash^li
lever held in place by a safety pin.
As in the British Mills attd~4tie
French F-l, all that is necessary for
use is to pull out the safety pin,
holding the lever in place witlr the
thumb or palm, and throw. .
As the grenade leaves the hand the jj|
lever flies up and the striker
