PRESIDENT MAY ADOPT
MORE RADICAL COURSE

Washington, Jan. 6.--Developments
in the peace situation here pointed
strongly toward President Wilson
adopting a more radical attitude than
has been forecasted.
Officials close to the president in
dicated their belief that the attitude
of the administration will be forced
to position of demanding a eessa-
ton of hostilities on the ground that
the United States and other neutrals
have as deep interest in the struggle
as have the belligerents.
Congressional leaders are known TO
support this view to large extent.
President Wilson still has high
hopes that peace discussions will re-
suit from the steps already taken and
about to be taken by the United
/, States. 1t was made very plain by
officials in the confidence of the pres
ident that his attitude is based on ac-
tual information from Berlin and
London and is not merely expression
Of hope for success.
The administration is withholding
its next step until the reply of the
entente allies is received,
The nature of the note is not ex-
pected to be much Of surprise to
the president as it is practically GER
tain he has in possession an accurate
outline of what the note will contain
On this outline, it was stated by
those close to the president that the
pathway to peace has not beer
blocked by any obstacles that cannot
be cleared away
Another element was injected int
the situation when it was limited tha

THE LIBERTY LOAN.


 Early indications are that the s2OOOO0OO OOO issue given the happily te 'The Liberty Loan," will be great y by banks of the before the treasury close June 15 The attitude of the bankers in every section has been most encouraging attitude of the public which is depended to ab sorb the big issue should be enthusiastic.
 It is great popular loan for great national purpose British statesman remarked early in the war that the victory determined by "the last s5OoOOOOOO It probably fall to provide that last decisive loan But before it reached there must be many bill lions poured the allied treasury The present issue 2OOOOO0O0O golden bullets but the beginning The magnitude of the sums wanted need frighten no one They are huge but small compared with tiona resources and our individual ability contribute We have nation of wasters. It is estimated that we have used up 900 year careless ment of personal affairs and in expend lures for indulgence and amusements. Our extrava- gance on the whole may have done great harm. but it is no longer excusabe We have better for money
 Wise retrenchment is universal duty. We must save to win putting our savings bonds The money will go pay the operating expenses of the armies and naves fighting the battle of worlddemocracy
 This is not merely duty. It is privilege to every man or woman capable of patriotic inspiration It is pleasure to contribute in such cause.
 But never has patriotism paid bigger material div dends than it will pay in this AS the New York Times well says Every dollar spent for the liberty loan helps those working the Every dollar the nation spends back with interest to those who enable the nation to spend The monef borrowed to spend The spending wages anF prosperity for the thrifty To save and lend ito country or our allies is to benefit yourself equally and to provide the funds to ease those perhaps unable to lend to the country
 "There is no way spending such sums without pro ducng what are called good times-tha is the free cir culaton of funds with rising prices Such oupourng of wage funds such of profits was never in sight before"
 The loan will pay dividends which, thought not high should satisfactory considering that they are nontax able The bonds are a good investment for personal funds because they are as good cash all sorts of financial purposes-they will be accepted in payment for almost any purchase obligation, security for they superior cash because they draw interest They the best possible investment of trust funds for they are absolutely the soundest securities m the world
 Other forms of investment generally quiescen just now taking a back seat while the Liberty Loan goes through They may well do for their turn will come The money isn't leaving the country It is merely being assembled for redistribution These billions will be flowing faster than through all the business arteries and veins of the nation And the quicker buy the bonds, the the process will be accelerated.

British aeroplanes today shot
down seven German balloons in a
resumption of vigorous aerial
offensive by British flyers.
Three of the German balloons
were set afire by incendiary shells
while far aloft and fell flaming
to the ground. Two more were
struck down by British planes
while lowering close over the
German lines.
In the case of the other two,
the British airmen, careless of

COMMISSION. EFFINGHAM, H.,
May S.-Traveling on a new spe-
cial train, the French war commits
sioners resumed their tour of the
middle west today, following the
wreck which shook up members of
the party last night. The new spe-
cial left Effingham at 9 a. m. Its
schedule was largely kept secret.
II was learned early today that
investigation at the scene OF the
accident, near Arcola. disclosed a
broken rail about 30 feet behind
the rear end of the wrecked train.
This might have been broken by
the two heavy engines pulling the
| train.
Government officials practically
decided today that the derail-
ment was an accident. The train
was composed of five steel cars
| drawn by two engines and was
running eastward at 40 miles an
hour over the Pennsylvania line.
Three cars were dltched and all
| aboard shaken up, but none hurt.
Some members of the French
commission inclined to the belief
that German plotters had spread
| the rails.
