HOW WAR IS DECLARED.

1t is interesting just now to know
how declarations Of war are made
They are all alike in matter and sub
stance, with tie change of name
necessary to let the people know
whom they areto fight. The United
States have made but two declara-
tons of war. In 1912 and 1916 we
declared war, the first declaration be-
ing against England and the second
against Mexico. AS England is up
permost in the present warlike
minds of the people, the declaration
of 1912 is of more interest.
This declaration was drawn by
William Pinkney of Maryland, then
Attorney General of the United
States. AS adopted by congress it
read:
An Act declaring war between the
United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, and the dependencies
thereof, and the United States Of
America and their Territories.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled.
That war be and the same is here
by declared to exist between the
United Kingdom of Great Britain
and ireland, and the dependencies
thereof, and the United States of
America and their Territories, and
that the President Of the United
States is hereby authorized to use
the whole land and naval force of
the United States to carry the same
into effect, and 10 issue TO private
armed vessels of the United States
commissions, or letter of marque and
general reprisal, in such form as he
shall think proper, and under the
seal of the United States, against the
vessels, goods and effects of the gov
eminent of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland and the
subjects thereof.

TIE YACHT INVESTIGATION.
Dunraven's Departure Hasn't Les
sened the Public Interest.

New York, Dec. 30.-The depar-
ture of Lord Dunraven and Arthur
GIennie from New York on Satur-
day last detracted only little from
the interest exhibited by all those
interested when the hearing Of evil
dence by the special committee was
resumed at the New York Yacht
Club house today.
Capt. Half and TORY, with many
members of the Defenders crew
were early on hand. Lawyer Ask

present, accompanied by Secretary
Hamilton.
AT 6 o'clock the committee adj
journed to meet again at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning. The members
of the committee and the lawyers,
together with the witnesses, main
tain the same stole silence that has
characterized all the proceedings Of
this investigation, stating that there
was absolutely nothing to be said
for publication. Among those who
testified today were Mate Berry Of
Defender and Messrs. Thorne, Tor
rey, Staples and Connant. 1t is ex-
pected that to-morrow's session will

THE BOND BILL.
louisville Courier-Journal.

louisville Courier-Journal.
The bond bill offered by the
republicans as one of their
brace of measures to meet pres
ent and future exigencies of
the treasury is pusillanimous
dodge by a party which profes-
SEES to be sound money party.
What the treasury needs, if
compelled TO issue bonds to
protect the gold reserve, is
authority to issue gold bonds.
That is what was asked of the
last congress andrefused by it,
to the cost of The country of
about s16,000,0o0. When the
government borrows gold it is
expected to repay in gold.
When it can only promise to
repay in coin the lender takes
the risk of being repaid in sill
yer, and accordingly charges a
higher rate of interest. AS the
government repays in gold any
way, no one but fool or a
cow..rdly politician would with
hold tile power to promise re
payment in gold.
Yet that is just what the re-
publicans propose to do with
their new coin bonds. Thier bill
is but a piece of party bun
combe, intended to placate the
sound money men, and yet not
offend the silver men. The DOW.
er granted by it is virtually
no improvement on that already
possessed by the government
Bnder present laws the govern
nTent now has authority to sci
eoin bonds to maintain the
gold reserve, and il sells then

BOND ISSUE AGREED UPON.

BOND ISSUE AGREED UPON.
Washington, December 30.-There
is no reasonable doubt but that an
other bond issue has been agreed on
ard that the details of contract
with a syndicate, of which J. Pier
pont Morgan is the head, have been
arranged SO that nothing remains to
be done to carry it into effect but
for the secretary of the treasury to
sign his name thereto. Thus the
president is prepared for any ener-
gency and there is no doubt that
should heavy Withdrawals of gold
for export again set in another issue
would be announced. The fact that
there have been no Withdrawals for
export within the last several days,
although sterling exchange has rul-
ed at or above shipping point,
gives credence to an opinion held
IN treasury circles that the market
has already begun TO feel the syndi-
cate influence against exports. The
mount Of the neXt issue it is almost
certain, has been fixed at 100000
900, and it is believed that the terms
of the contract are rather more fay
orabIe to the government than those
under which the last Issue was done.
In this connection it is recalled that
between August 81, 1866, the date
upon which the National debt reach
ed its highest point, and March l,
1893, the amount of the government
outstanding obligations, wasreCIuced
by 81, SSI, 367,S73. To accomplish
this reduction bonds were purchas-
ed to the amount of $770, S09,750. OF
this amount 1921, $50, 300 were pur-
chased prior to 1879 and SIG, 459,
$50 since that date.
