AMERICAN EX-SERVICEMEN
GIANTS OF " BABY BONDS " THREE MILLION PARTICIPATE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, June 15. The biggest pay day in the Government’s history occurred to-day, when postmen delivered “ baby ” bonds aggregating 1,650,000,000d0l to 3,000,000 Great War veterans. There were celebrations by veterans’ associations throughout the nation to mark the greatest event of its kind in United States history. The police were ready for the swift prosecution of confidence men and other get-rich-quick tale spinners, and armed National Guardsmen were mobilised for any emergency in the huge deliveries. A wave of buying and consequent trade pickings are expected.
