come Aerial Race.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Highly inter-
esting among the countless express
sions of enthusiastic Endorsement OF
the plan for the national aerial derby
from the Atlantic to the Pacific for the
Pulitzer trophy, to take place in Sep
TENDER. are those of Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson and Louis Brownlow, a
Commissioner of the District of Column
bfa. In letter to Alan r. Hawley,
president of the Aero Club of America
written from the executive offices OF
the Commissioners, Mr.. Brownlow says:
Mr.. Brownlow's Letter.
Permit me to add an official indorse-
ment to the request made to your or
ganization by the Washington Cham
Der of Commerce and the national
aerial coast patrol commission that
Washington be made one of the con-
troll stations in the forthcoming trans
continental aerial derby. This matter
was called to my attention two weeks
ago by the latter organization. but on
the eve of trip l was taking out of
the city.
1T would be in keeping with the
proud position of Washington as the
capital Of the nation If it could be the
first or second landing or control sta
tion after the flyers leave New York
Washington wants to be a part of this
great aerial achievement. AS the home
of the federal government it should, as
a matter of course, be associated with
this signal contribution to the science
of aeronautics. The Chamber of Com
merce has referred the proposal to a
special committee, and while it may de-
velop that We cannot do as much as
industrial cities of the same size, and
for other reasons peculiar to Washing
ton, nevertheless we are all anxious to
extend traditional Washington hospi-
tality, and an official welcome to the
in what is destined to be
the greatest achievement of it's kind in
the history of aviation"

TINE To TEMPER
SPIRIT Of ALLIES

Washington. Dec. 23.--Government
officials believe today II will be after
Christmas before peace answers are
framed by European powers. This
was purely an opinion. The state de-
partment was without definite infor-
nation as to when II might receive
the allies answer to the German
peace proffers, or to President viii
sons note.
The whole situation has simmered
down to the realm OF speculation
though II was entirely possible that
concrete information as to when the
answer would arrive might be forth
coming over Sunday.
The apparent coldness OF the allied
reception OF President Wilson's mes
sage may be tempered by time, It is
believed. but authorities are In the
dark except for press reports, as to
what they might expect by way OF
reply.

The music is OF high and lofty

portunity for the display Of the con-
tralto. baritone and tenor solo voices
OF Mrs Parsons. Mr.. Bramwell, and
Mr.. Ferrin. The work OF the chorus
was uniformly good and the crescen-
dos were taken with telling effect un-
der the barton Of Mr.. Davis, who, by
the way. Is director OF no ordinary
ability. and who gets his intelligent
effects without noise or fury.
Some 25 or 80 singers took part In
the chorus and the volume was ex-

All In all, the performance re-
Elected great credit both upon the
musical intelligence and intuition Of

lent musical composition.

An erroneous impression seems to

NEW BRITISH LOAN
TAKEN BY BANKS
Report That Munition Concerns
Were Subscribers Is Denied.

One of the reasons for the wonder
ful success Of the $3.50, 100000 o per
cent British loan, which was practical
" all sold two days after the an
nouncement of the public offering was
the desirability of the notes for banks
and trust companies, which have III
their vaults large unemployed balances
Members of the underwriting syndi-
cate said yesterday that the transsc-
ton was essentially of banking char
acter. and that relatively few SUB
scriptions from individual investors
were received. Reports that some OF
the big corporations making NUM-
tions and component parts, who have
record cash holdings, had taken big
blocks of the notes were denied. This
was in sharp contrast to the offering
of the $500, 100000 Anglo-French loan,
large amounts of which were taken
bv the Du Pont powder concern and
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Commenting on the record sale OF the
British loan, enc of the bankers con-
nected with the underwriting said:
ave started out TO make record
and we succeeded. So far as the un-
derwriters are concerned,the transac-
ton Is closed. We were notified on
Thursday night that all the notes had
been sold, principally to the banks
throughout the country. The notes
are especially desirable as an invest
ment for banks. They fall under the
short term class and give high YIELD
over 5ia per cent, with collateral be-
hind them that will always make them
find a ready market"
The transactions reported on the
Curb market yesterday in the notes
were $4,000, ranging from 80 to $685.

Reservations as to Thrift.

We are VIGOROUSLY a wasteful
people. We are self-admonishing
about it, and TO no result Never
was the sin of national extravaganza
so apparent as now, and never were
such efforts put forth TO induce the
habit of thrift. The fact is simply
stated. The Interpretation is left to
the psychologist. No doubt, by law
of contradiction, extravaganza begets
a yearning for thrift and thrift a
yearning for its opposite.
Under the auspices Of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association there now
is taking place en- "Oficial Nation
Wide Thrift Campaign" 1t is pow
erfully organized. Each week there
are issued bulletins reporting prog

Good for Canada.

In addition TO the advantage Of firm
~ established control, the arrangements
whereby the nickel companies will re-
fine in Canada will secure for the
Dominion a greater proportion Of the
profits derived from this industry,
whereas the Provincial Treasury now
receives but little benefit, and only a
small proportion of the work required
TO make nickel a merchantable product
is done in Canada. 1t is certain that
in the future the natural resources of
Canada will not be exploited for the
advantage Of foreign nations. Already
there is some agitation for conserva-
ton. in the interests Of the empire,
of the asbestos mines Of Quebec. These
are signs OF the times. Imperialist
Canada is determined that the en-
pire's needs will be supplied first from
her raw materials. Moreover, the Do
minion is more than ever in favor OF e
vigorous national policy Of protection
for the sake of Canada's own deyel-
opment
