conversion of bonds of the present series shall be substantially the same in form and terms as shall be prescribed by or pursuant to law with respect to the bonds of such subsequent Beries not only as to Interest rate but also as to convertibility if future bonds be Issued at a still higher rate of Interest or nonconvertibility and as to exemption from taxation if any and in all other respects except that the bonds Issued upon such conversion shall have the same dates of maturity of principal and of interest and be subject to the same terms of redemption before maturity as the bonds converted and such bonds shall be issued from time to time if and when and to the extent that the pri vileges of conversion so conferred shall arise and shall be exercised If the privilege of conversion so conferred shall once arise and shall not be exercised with respect to any bonds of the present series within the period above prescribed then such privileges shall terminate as to such bonds and shall arise not again though again thereafter bonds be issued bearing interest at a higher rate or rates than four per cent per annum Rules for Subscriptions Subscription for the bonds must reach the Treasury Department Washington a Federal reserve bank or branch thereof or some incorporated bank or trust company ln the United States not including outlying territories and possessions on or before the close of business October 27 1917 The applications must be accompanied by a payment of 2 per cent of the amount applied for and subsequent installments upon bonds allotted will be due as follows 18 per cent on November 15 1917 40 per cent on December 14 1S17 40 per cent on January 15 1918 On the latter date accrued interest on the deferred installments will also be payable I am very glad to be able to announce that by authorizing the engraving of tjse bonds with only four coupons attached instead of the full number of 50 coupons it will be pos sible to have the actual bonds ready for delivery as soon as full payments are completed thus avoiding the trou ble and delay incident to the issue of interim receipts or temporary bonds Provides for Exchanges On and after November 15 1919 the holders of the bonds will have opportu nity to exchange them for new bonds having attached thereto coupons for the balance of the period for which the bonds will run It Is also expected that on or about October 10 1917 there will be ln tin hands of the several Federal Reserve banks a supply of these new bonds ready for Immediate delivery to subscribers in amounts not in excess of 1000 to pay any one subscriber against payment in full thereby avoiding in Buch cases the trouble incident to wait ing until after allotment for delivery Plans are also being perfected RESERVE OFFICERS GIVEN
