NKIASHINGTON, August II
wv Lloyd George, speaking
in the British house Of commons
yesterday. has given the prelimin-
airy reply ofthe Allies to the peace
proposals which have come
through Pope Benedict, accord
ing to the way the diplomats here
read the words Of the British pre-
mier. His words are regarded as
4 preliminary indication Of the at
4itude to be adopted blythe En-
tente in the event that Germany,
claiming 64,e the victor sh6idel
attempt to dictate the terms upon
which the war shohld end.
In the opinion OF the diplomats
here there will be no early reply
TO the Pope by the President, and
the difficulty that confronts Presi.
dent Wilson Is recognized. 1t is
appreciated that he canpot well
refuse to enter into discussion

made by the Vatican, while, at the
same time, he. must frame his re-
ply TO the peace proposal so that
his words viii barmonize with the
statements oisaims made BY the
Allies.

" Is thought here that the question
Of the Alsace-Iorraine restoration TO
France, which France has made her
minimum is the stumbling block to
any progress towards peace along the
lines saggested by the Pope. The ques.
zion Of the German colonies Is not re-
garded as SO important nor beyond
adjudication.
In his statement in London yesterday,
Lloyd George said that the difficulties
faced by the Allies are daily growing
less, while daily the power Of the En-
tente Ia increasing. In Germany, on
the contrary, while their power OF Of
Tense and defense grows daily weaker,
their diffieulties are multiplying.

the world will begin to reap the
fruits Of her valor. -

Preliminary crop estimates through

There is no chailee that, with rea-
sonable economy, England can be

DANZANSKY RlDORSED
FOR JEWISH CONGRESS

One Of the most enthusiastic gather
i1gs of the Jews Of the Capital was held
Thursday night in the Hebrew Home
II was called by representatives elect
ed by several charitable, social and
religious Jewish organizations in this
city for the purpose of urging their
brethren to support the candidacy OF
Bernard Danzansky as delegate from
the Capital Of the United States to the
Jewish Congress, which is to be held
here on September 3
This Jewish congress Is the first in
the history Of the Jews in America
and is considered TO be the most inn
settlement in the new world. In every
city in the Union the campaign for
delegates to this congress well-nigh
approaches the heat and fervor that
generally marks occasions for general
elections in the United States. The
Jews OF Washington, for the first
time enjoying the right OF suffrage are
anxious and eager 10 take advantage
OF this opportunity in exercising this
privilege. which all OF them consider
az a duty.
1t is commonly agreed by those ac-
quainted with the situation that to
such a congress only the ablest OF
the race and its best representatives
must be delegated. 1t is for this rea-
son that about a dozen representative
Jewish organizations in this city have
decided to urge and to appeal to their
co-religionists in the Capital to send
Bernard DanZansky as their spokes-
man In this high and important Jew
ish assemblage.
Committees were appointed by the
various organizations to canvass this
city In all its sections and urge upon
the Jews the election of Mr.. Dan
Zansky on Sunday June 10, when cleo
tionS will be held.

over-exertion. from the heat. In some
cities as many as a dozen

FREIGHT RATE BOOST
URGED BY INVESTORS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Hears Railroad Security Holders.

One Of the most remarkable hearings
ever held before the Interstate Com
nerce Commission took place yester-
day afternoon, when members Of the
Railroad Securities, In connection with
the pending application Of the rail-
roads to be allowed TO increase their
freight rates urged the commission to
take action which viii stabilize the
stocks and bonds OF the roads, not
only in the interest of the people, but
war measure.
The owners Of more than s., ,O00, ,Oo0, 900
In railroad stocks and bonds were rep
resented by individuals and by officials
Of life and IRE insurance companies,
savings banks, fiduciary and financial
institutions, and trustees OF estates.
This was pointed out IN an address to
the commission by s. Davies Wartield,
OF Baltimore, president of the CONT
mental Trust Company of that city.
and chairman Of the board Of the Sea-
For the first time in history the COM
mission heard the people of the coun-

Asks Margin Of Safety.
The address of Mr.. Warfeld. pointed
out the necessity OF permitting the
lish such a margin Of safety, which
We will call a surplus. beyond their
actual requirements for meeting their
fixed and other charges, as will es-
tablish their credit and admit OF their

Mr.. WarfeId declared that three
fifths Of the capital OF the carriers,

and other evidences of debt; that

holder a fair return on his money"
Mr.. Kingsley said that the factor
OF safety which was none too high at
the close OF 1916. is already receding.
and Will continue to recede unless the
roads have relief.
He concluded with the statement
that having been granted and having
assumed the power to regulate these
public carriers and fix Their rates II
follows that in all cases where insur-
ance directors have bought railroad
securities with sound Judgment. your
duty to use your power to protect
the integrity OF these securities Is
akin at least to the duty of the gov
ernment to protect the lives and lib
erty Of the people"
Whatever may be the reasons for
II. the fact is that unless assistance
is given the public confidence will be
so shaken in railroad securities as
to cause contraction in one OF the
most important bases OF credit in the
country" said Robert F.. Maddox,
president Of the National, Bank of At
lanta. THE only way in which this
confidence can be maintained is by
action on the rart of the commission
toward the carriers as will convince
the public that the needs OF the rail-
roads will be met"
