The Opinion of Rothschild.
(By the Associated Press.l

London, March 15.-Lord Roths-
child regards the postponement of the
Russian loan as tantamount to a re-
fUsal on the part of the French syn
dicate to treat any further.
After ALL he said, ''it cannot be
a matter for surprise. 1t is owing to
the force of circumstances and not. /
think, to the result of pressure on the
part of the French government in the
interests of peace. Between $250O,-
100000 and $4,000, 100000 of French
money is invested in Russia. There is
nothing more natural than at the pres.
ent time with the affairs of Russia in
the state that they are, both at home
and abroad, that it should become
difficult at least TO find subscribers in
France to another Russian loan That
is all. ] think ii is force of circum>
stances and not pressure tending to
peace on the part of the French gov
ernment. The French know that to
continue the war means a revolution in
Russia and that to stop it now under
the present conditions means revo-
luton"
Lord Rothschild thought it was diff
ficult to say where Russia would find
the money to continue the war.

New York, March 15.-"My hus-
band, Brodie L. Duke, has abandoned
me, and is living under an assumed
name at the Hotel Marlborough, in
Asbury Park" said Mrs. Alice Webb
Duke this afternoon, when she began
a separation suit against Brodie l..
Duke, her millionaire husband.
On the application of K. Henry
Rosenberg in the Supreme court, JUS
tice Bowling granted leave to Mrs.
Duke to serve the summons by pub
lication. The grounds on which the
suit is based are abandonment and
non-Support.
The papers did not disclose the al
legged assumed name of Mr.. Duke and
Mr. Rosenberg said he did know what
it was.
Mrs. Dukes suit came as a local
surprise to the friends of Mr.. Duke,
but Mrs. Dukes acquaintances have
known that Duke has in some mys-
terious manner been kept away from
his wife. This led to the report today
that Mr.. Dukes relatives might possi-
bly, have had something to do with
what is termed the forced strained re-
lations with the couple. None of Mr..
Dukes relatives can be found in this
city.

A HUGE ROCK ON THE TRACK.
Discovered in Time to Avert Wreck
An Ice Factory for Spencer.

Spencer, N. c.. March 15.--A seri-
Gus wreck was narrowly averted on
the Southern Railway about one mile
north of this place when a huge rock
was discovered on the main line track
only d short time before the fast south
bound Pullman train No. 20 was due
to pass Spencer. Fortunately the OBJ
struction was removed in time to save
the train. 1t is believed that the rock
was placed on the track with u view
of wrecking one of the fast trains
though there is no clue to the perpe-
traitors of the dGstardiy deed. Detec-
tives are now working on the case.
The most recent enterprise for
Spencer is an ice factory which will be
operated here by Messrs. NJ, l.. Jackson
and John Lambing, of Salisbury. Or
ders for the necessary machinery are
being placed this week and the plant
is to be put into operation early this

JACQUES GRIPS HIS GOLD.
The Postponement of the Russian
Loan Definitely Confirmed.
lBy the Agsociated Press.) )

Paris, March 1.-THE postpone
ment of the Russian loan is definitely
confirmed This is likely to exert a
powerful influence towards peace as
it is the first time the French finan-
ciers have shown any disposition to
advance funds while the uncertainties
of war continue.
RusSia's declination to consider
peace appears to have induced the
decision of financiers not to proceed
with the contract for loan, and ac-
cordingly the signing of it which was
expected yesterday, has been postpon-
ed, and all the pending. negotiations
are also postponed. According to the
Russian view this does not mean that
the negotiations have been broken off
but merely that they are adjourned
as the Russian authorities say the SYM
dicate holds itself bound towards Rus
sia now as before. However, the cir
cumstances of the adjournment tends
to show that the syndicate inclines to
wait for some definite development OF
peace before procedinge any further.
1t is significant that the postpone.
ment of the loan is coincident with &,
strong movement of the influential
French press favorable to peace. The
Matin prominently displays a state
ment believed to reflect the views OF
financial circles which declares that
il Japan is ready to adopt a gener-
Gus attitude by waving an indemnity
or imposing any humiliation upon
Russia, then Russia's policy of war to
the bitter end will cease. 1t is not
able that some of the Russian Off
cials speak approvingly of the latter
propositions. They say peace is i'm
possible if an indemnity or any hu-
initiating conditions are asked so that
the elimination of these two points
vii lgo far towards securing favorable
consideration of peace.
