Louisville subscribed $9,305,35O
to the Liberty Loan. Its allotment
was 100000.

1t was a mistake to say that Lex
ington had fallen behind in her
allotment of Liberty Bond subscrip-
tons. She Jagged at first but took a
squirt on the home stretch and largely
oversubscribed the amount. The cap
ital of the Blue Grass is usually up
to snuff.

"The secret of the sale of Liberty
Bonds is the advertising thew were
given" remarked Mr.. A. C. Sine. of
this city, to us Saturday, "and it
shows very plainly that advertising
nays" he added. Mr., Sine is right.
Nothing offered in the history of the
country was ever better advertised
than the Liberty Loan Bonds, and
the fact that the amount was over
subscribed by half shows how rapid
ly they were disposed of. "Advertis-
ing Pays" is a slogan in which there
is far more truth than poetry.

On paper it will be the biggest thing
Of its kind ever displayed 20 the resi-

British Politicians Predict
Appointment After Hint
by Bonar Law
Premier Is Determined
General Election to Result If
Nationalist Reject New
Offer

London, March l6.-In discussing the
Irish situation in the House OF Com
mons to-day. Andrew Bonar Law. Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer. declared the
attitude of the Nstionalsts might COM
pei an appeal to the country, on the
ground that the Nationalists were I'M
willing to permit the government 20 get
on with the war.
Nothing which has happened in the
House of Commons since | have been
a member" he said, Seemed TO me
more deplorable than the lamentaole
result of our recent discussion OF the
Irish question. This was despite the
fact that there exists among all parties
a stronger desire than ever before 20
get some settlement of this veXed ques-
ton.
"If good will could do it there would
be a settlement tomorrow. The whole
House desires IL, and | am not sure
but that there is as much sympathy
with the Nationalists in the country
generally as in the Commons.
THE Nationalists have threatened 70
establish themselves as an opposition
on old lines. But the government can
not be conducted in times like these on
the ordinary methods of party pro-
cedure. and IL may be their procedure
will compel an appeal TO the country,
this appeal being on the ground that
the Nationalist members won't let US
get on with the war.
Surely there could be nothing worse
than that. The Premier has already
indicated that if there was any hope Of
results from the appointment of a COM
mission he would be glad 10 consent,
but he has received no answer from
any of the Irish parties, and we are
now earnestly considering whether any
action on the part Of the government
is possible"
Mr.. Bonar Laws statement was in re-
ply to question by Sir James Henry
Dslziel, Liberal member for Kirkcaldy
Burghs, who urged statement on the
s~uation, which. he said, was "impor
tant in time like this, when revolu-
ton is in the air." adding: an view of
the grave state Of things in ireland 70
is desirable that We have a frank dec
larstion from the government as 70 the
present position and future possibil-
tiles"
Replying to a question by John Dill
lon as to whether orders had been
given the people of Dublin TO remain
indoors on st. Patrick's Day, the Chan
cellor stated that no such order had
been given.
Predict Offer by Cabinet
In political circles it is said that Mr.
Bonar Laws declaration that the gov
eminent vas ready to set up a COM
mission to settle the Home Rule ques-
ton will soon be followed By a definite
offer to do so. Although the Nation
alist leaders still decline 20 participate
in any negotiations concerning Home
Rule or indicate what attitude they
will assume toward such a proposal,
friends OF Premier Lloyd George say
that he has made up his mind that
the Irish question must be got rid Of,
and that il the Nationalist reject the
offer or resort 10 obstructive tactics
general election will follow, at which
the government will ask for mandate
to peremptorily deal with the whole
Irish problem.

There is no necessity for further com
me1t.
Although I am not politically friend
ly toward the present national admin
istration of Colombia, ! have absolute
confidence that the moneys that may be
paid as indemnity, according 20 the
pending treaty, will be handled m the
same manner as would be done In the
United States by the government, and
will be devC ted 70 the construction OF
railroads. sanitary Improvements OF the
ports and other public uses.
1t must be borne in mind that in ac-
cepting this treaty, which was drafted
By the American government, Colombia
has made quite a sacrifice Of her ideals
of honor and dignity, which are char
acteristic of the Iberic race, who viii
sacrifice TO its ideals all material in
terest. Therefore ! feel confident that
if the Senator'S of the opposition were
better acquainted with conditions IN
Colombia, they would appreciate the
Justice and fairness OF that country 5
claims and thus help 10 establish con-
fdence and a solid friendship between
the countries % South America and
North America, also supporting thereby
request made by the fair-minded
President, Mr.. Wilson. considered
throughout the countries Of the south
ern continent as continuing Lincoln's
policies.
With the approval of this treaty the
United States will gain a good deal, as
they will obtain the confidence and
friendship of sO,OOOOOO Of lbero-Amer-
leans, and they will materially control
the markets of large and friendly
continent, which will greatly help TO
solve the grave problems that now oc-
cupy the mind Of public men in this
country. that is the excess Of capital,
population, industries, and also misery.
As regards the possibility of war
between the United States and Ger
many, in my opinion, all South Amer
lean countries will be on the side of the
United States. as this would give them
the opportunity TO reciprocate the as
sistance received when they obtained
their independence and the duties to
which they are bound the Monroe
Doctrine. The interests OF the entire
continent are identical. feel sure,
therefore. that these nations would be
on tho side of the United States. also
IL the war was against any other
power.

Ideals Sacrificed by Colombia
In Accepting Treaty, Says Reyes

General Reyes, formerly President
of Colombia, came here recently TO
aid in bringing about the adoption
of the treaty NTH Colombia.
By GENERAL RAFAEL REYES
In a general way the Colombia treaty
is similar to the one that Mr.. Root, as
Secretary Of State in the Taft Admin
istration, drafted with Mr.. Cortez, then
Minister of Colombia, and which was
duly approved by the American Senate,
although approval was denied by the
Colombian Senate. II has, therefore,
bound both the Republicans OF the for
mer Administration. as well as the
Democrats Of Mr.. Wilson'S party, to
approve the present treaty under dis
cussion.
As TO the insulting and unfair
charges that have been made against
Colombia, Of blackmail. etc, respect
due nv country and myself prevents
me from lowering myself TO reply TO
these. | just want TO state that this
shows an entire lack of knowledge OF
the feelings Of honor and dignity Of
Colombia and all other Ibero-American
countries, and al fair-minded North
Americans. would ask this question,
however: What would your opinion be
if a similar charge was made against
YOUR own country. If it happened 70
be a weaker nation, that had been de-
spoiled Of its territory by a stronger
country, and when claiming its rights
and demanding that the titles OF the
territory of which it had been dispos-
sessed be legalized, could get no other
reply than that il was "blackmailer"?

The treaty was Withdrawn, instead OF
going 20 a vote, out Of consideration
for the Colombian government. The
Administration, in view Of the recent
attacks on the treaty, is planning 70
forestall at least a part OF them by
having the treaty rewritten before
Congress again assemblies.
Responding 10 the charge that Co.
lombia surrenders nothing and the
United States gains nothing under the
treaty as it stands, made in the minor
ity report, the Administration is said
TO be planning 20 include in the new
treaty two concessions one OF terri
tory, 70 include New Providence and
surrounding islands, in the Pacific. just
OF the entrance 70 the canal, and the
other an option on another canal route,
that of the Atrato River.
II the United States should acquire
an option on the Atrato River route
il will be in possession Of options on
two routes besides the Panama Canal
itself. the other being the Nicaraguan
route.
The islands in question were referred
TO before the Senate Military Affairs
Committee by Major General Leonard
Wood more than a year ago as present
ing an excellent base for an attack on
the canal.
It is thought that if these two cor
cessions are included in the new treaty
that the document may be made more
palatable 70 some Of the Republican
Senators. and there will be better
chance Of its ratification. Counting
Knox, La Toilette and Gronna as firm
~ hitched for the treaty, its friends
must gain seven more Republican Sena-
tors and hold all the Democrats in
line TO obtain its ratification. This IS
not regarded as probable.
The end came suddenly to-day. sur
prising Senators who had feared the
special session Of the Senate would run
into next week. President Wilson was
officially informed Of the desire OF the
Senate 70 adjourn, and responded that
he had no further communications 70
make to it. Whereupon the special ses-
sion adjourned.

Seal Bone Deposits
Will Be Mined by u. 5.
Contract Let for Harvesting
Huge Fields in Pribylov
Islands

Seattle. March ia contract to har-
vest millions Of dollars worth OF seal
and walrus bone deposits on the shore
of the Pribylov Islands has been
awarded by the government 10 George
F. Brooks.
The deposits represent a vast store
OF aforementioned fertilizer, Wnlch
is an important item of cargo Tor yes
sells engaged in the Alaskan trade.
These deposits represent the accumula-
ton Of a century or more and are prop.
ably the largest in the world. One OF
the deposits is two miles long, BY mar
a mile wide and fully six feet deep.
Officers Of the Geodetic Survey TINS
last summer surveyed this one deposit
and found it to be composed Of the
bones of seals principally, the remains
Of the enormous slaughter up 20 tne
time the government passed prohioi-
tory laws. The deposit appears as u u
had been piled up by man, but is really
the work OF small pieces OF ice which'
when tossed by waves, showed the bones
further and further above hign TIDE.
Mr.. Brooks has purchased machinery
for the grinding of the bone. The APP
paratus will be taken north and oper-
ated as much as possible during the
winter. There is abundance OF coal on
the islands for fuel.
The contract has been arranged after
an investigation ordered by Secretary
OF the Interior Redheld. The govern
ment is sure OF s35 ton for the ground
bone, and after paying the CONTRACT
price 10 the Brooks concern TINS VIII
leave a handsome profit.
In addition to the one large deposit
described there are smaller piles OF
hone on all the islands Of the group
similarly piled. The value Of these de-
posits cannot be estimated. According
TO a report made to the Interior Depart
ment bv the Bureau Of Fisheries. fer
tilizers worth many millions can be
manufactured. Markets for 1t can be
found in the Pacific Northwest states.
