ed. The president is not limited as to
who the commissioners shall be or how
many he may appoint. Neither is il
necessary for him to select the same
humber as commissioned by our enemy.
None Of our treaties Of peace have thus
far been signed by o commission equally
divided as to number. Our peace com.
missiOners may be men Of almost any
position in official or civil life whom
the ;.yesident may select, Of course IL
would be discourteOus TO Spain should
men Of inferior rank and ability be com.
missioned. II was charged that England
endeavored TO display her contempt for
us by appointing men Of little Conse.
quence TO act for her in the treaty Of
Ghent, which closed the war Of 1912.
On this score Spain cannot complain.
When we make our secretary Of state u
member Of the commission, we are pay
ing the humbled dous a fine compli-
ment.
There is no strict rule as to the place
Of meeting during the preparation Of
the treaty. In the usual order of diplo-
matte events a neutral state would be
selected, but a precedent contrary to
this was established for US in 1s4s
when the treaty concluding the MeXi-

ers invited our representatives to meet
them at the British legation in that
city, but our commission refused the
hospitality and the long deliberations
previous to the signing Of the treaty
took place in hotel.
1t is an interesting fact TO note just
here that although the treaty of Ghent
was signed on Dec. "a, 1914, it did not
reach Washington until Feb 13, 1915,
although it was carried on the fastest
sloop Of war in the British navy as far
as New York. Philadelphia was the
first city to celebrate with peace ju-
bilee which occurred ON Feb. 10,

SEALING THE BONDS.
stantly employed, and, although the
new war bonds have all been printed,
the distribution has been by no means
completed and will not be for weeks to
come.
The reason that SO much time has
been consumed in delivering the new
bonds to the purchasers is that the treas
ury department has held to its original
intention and made this loan strictly a
popular one. Former issues of bonds
have been handled by big syndicates.
In that way the bonds were handed over
in lump and the distribution made by
the firms represented, the spectators
incidentally making millions of profit
from the transaction.
The war issue, however, has been sold
directly to the people, ana, while vast
amount of bookkeeping has been made
necessary, ii is the individual who in
vests his money that gets the interest
and not the capitalist middlemen.
More than $780, 900 persons responded
to the call for popular loan. This
means that each one of these individuals
sent sums of money ranging from $50
to 81, 900, 900 to the treasury depart
ment in payment for bonds. The amount
of the war loan decided upon was $780,
600, 900, but more than seven times that
sum was offered. The big bids were re-
jected and the small ones accepted.
A branch of the office of the register
of the treasury was established in the
new Washington postoff!ce, where clerks
We're engaged in computing interest on
deposits and in preparing for the trans
mission of bonds to successful subscrib-
ers.
All the undertaking from the time
the mail was received in the opening
division until 800, 900 envelopes had
been prepared by the registers Office
and addressed cannot be set forth within
the limits of this article. Perhaps some
idea of the magnitude of the work may
be obtained from an understanding Of
the mere work of delivering the bonds.
Sixty people are engaged daily now in
folding, placing in envelopes, sealing
and delivering the bonds to the express
companies. Each envelope is required
to be sealed with five wax seals. When
the work is done, the sealers will have
put the treasury impress in wax on not
less than 1900, 900 of these seals.
The interest checks, too, are required
to be inolosed with the bonds. Every
day now there are delivered to the ex-
press companies 5000 of the bonds.
Later on it may be possible to increase
the number delivered daily, but Just
now the delivery amounts to the full
responsibility which the express COM
panies care to undertake as we'll as the
capacity of the department for handling
the bonds.
If the government should ever again
undertake popular loan, the expert
ence gained during the present one will
