banks would find it necessary to
issue bonds for virtually their en-
tire capital stock to meet the de-
stands of borrowers.
The rate of interest on bonds
is a subject now engaging the
boards attention. 1t is thought
that it will exceed five per cent.
The bonds will be offered at the
maximum allowed by law of one
per cent less than the rate
charged for loans. Daily confer
enccs are being held by board
members with bankers from var
ious sections to determine the
minimum rate at which the bonds
will be absorbed by investors, as
this will determine the interest
rate to be charged on loans.
The board also is considering
whether the bonds shall be Of
fered to individual investors or
underwriters by banking houses

GERMANY OFFERS PEACE
TERMS
Questions Concerning the Near
East Would Be Settled in
the Peace Conference.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Advices
from Berlin to the German EN-
bassy indicate that the peace
terms which Germany will sug-
gcst, following the announcement
in Berlin today by Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg that the
Central Powers We're ready to en-
ter into negotiations, in general
measure propose the restoration
of the status quo before the war,
with the exception Of the estab-
'ishmcnt of independent king
doms of Poland and Lithuania.
Chancellor Won Bcthmann-lloll-
veg did not state any definite
peace terms in his speech before
the RcichStag.
They are understood to pro-
pose the complete restoration OF
the occupied portions Of Belgium
and France in return for Ger
many's captured colonies and to
dispose of the Balkan situation
because Of its extremely compll-
Gated nature. in the peace con-
ference
The one coucrrte suggestion
made is that Bulgaria probably
will want the return of the terri
tory she lost in the second Balkan
war. and it is supposed Germany
guaranteed this when Gar Ferdi-
uand east his lot with the Central
Powers
The terms are said to include
at least a partial restoration OF
Serbia and R'nnania, and the re
turn to Germany Of her lost col
