BOND RECALL A PEACE SIGN
Paris Regards Withdrawal of Loan a
:. Evidence Of Early Peace.

;. Evidence of Early Peace.
New York Sun Special Service So:
Paris, Feb. 1.-THE air is full of
rumors that peace will be made soon
between Russia and Japan. So there
will be no further effort for the mo-
ment to float any part of the new Rus
sian loan in France.
The steady rise in the market price
of Russian bonds is due to the popular
belief that peace is not far away.
Whether this belief is we'll based or not,
it must explain the failure to put the
Russian loan upon the market here. In
a word, if peace is to be made soon,
Russia will not need more money.
The Credit Lyonnais has the loan
entirely in it's hands. The head official
Of the bank s statistical department said
today that $3.50, 100000 worth of Rus
sian bonds, which had been distributed
to the bank g branches thru the prov
inces to be sold have been ordered back
to Paris. -,
Raffalovitch. the Russian treasury
agent here, who must know the facts,
"believes' the loan has been aband.
oned momentarily with Russia IS acoui-
essence. Evidently Raffalovitch does
not regard peace as imminent, since, ac-
cording to the best information, he looks
for renewal Of the negotiations to
float the loan within two months:

MANY SAY
Just Can't Do It.

EGO away and don It bother me. May
be coffee is causing all my ails but, /
Just don It see how I can give it up
That is the pitiful wall of a despair
ing coffee slave and yet there. is an
easy and sure way out Of the slavery:
II knew coffee was the cause Of all
lis Ii; woman, 'sBut / just couldn t give it
up. I used to try, but every time went
back to coffee until finally my nervous
system was in snch condition that a
single cup Of coffee was sufficient to
throw me into a state bordering on
Mysteries. I had generally two terrif-
ic sick headaches every week and was
simply wreck of nerves.
"Finally I was induced to try Post
UNI, but at the first trial it was so thin
and weak l knew something must be
the matter, 50 I read the directions over
again and found it is not made like cot
fee, but must have Is minutes at least
for steady boiling. So I tried again and
the result was deep, rlch-colored, per-
fectly delicious drink that weaned' me
from my coffee without any regrets.
FThe Postum took coffee's place SC
completely that before we realized il
we had forgotten coffee ever existed
and all the time I was improving rap
idly, from the very time began the
Postum.
"To put it briefly the Improvement

"Altho I drank the Postum and go1

Sage Advice from Austria's Ruler.


Vienna, Feb; ss.-The Russian reyoH
has laid a. fresh burden of anxiety or
the already over-weighted shoulders OF
Emperor Franz osef. A court officia-
is authority for the statement that the
emperor is sadly convinced that Russian
autocracy is topping over, increasing
Austria IS responsibilities in the Balkans
at time when her own internal condi
ton needs all her solicitude.
The emperor holds the only alterna
tive to the overthrow Of his ;autocracy
is for the car to accept the inevitable
as he himself did in 1860. He must
publish a proclamation giving the ma
ton constitution, to which he mus
bind himself by oath; it must clearly
define the position of the czar's family
and the grand duke IS, and must separate
state property from the cars private
estate. =.
Disappearance of the Romanof regime
would not directly affect the Hapsburgs
and the relations between them are only
friendly from the teeth out. Politically
the effects may be disastrous, not mere
ly in the Balkans, where the sultaI
would certainly put in his evil hand
but internally, where the disintegrat1o1
of Russia is we'll calculated to haster
| the same process in Austro-Hungary.

KINGS FEAR LEST
CAR LOSE THRONE
Would Be Personal Blow to Ed.
ward, but Political Gain for
England.

London, Feb. liking Edward holds
the democratic view that autocratic
sovereignty is a survival of barbarism;
still, he is deeply concerned personally
for the czar. Turnout the crisis he
had special information daily from the
Russian embassy. The whole English
family is specially fond of the car, in
contrast to the kaiser, whom they de-
test. "Nikky,' as they term him, re-
ciprocates this feeling and keeps up
regular correspondence with the queen
and Prince of Wales.
Queen Alexandra deplores the reac-
tionary virulence of her sister, the
Dowager Czarina, and at the Copen-
hagen gatherings always points to the
popularity and security Of the British
throne as an object lesson in the vir-
tues Of liberalism, but the DOwager
Czarina's mind is closed to all light
she is completely Russianized and proud
of her handiwork in intoxicating the
car SO successfully. with the conviction
of his divine right.
Dynastically, the overthrow Of the
car would be direct loss to King Ed
ward, as blow to the prestige Of the
Danish court and the connections of
the British royal family and the de.
struction Of his own personal influence
in Russia.
