 TAKEN UP BY SENATE
Will be Passed Today in About the
 Form 1t Passed the House.

Washington, Sept 13.-The war credits bill was taken up by the sen
 ate today and prepared for passage
 the shouse by unanimous vote last

 The only contest today was on an amendment by Senator Brady. which was rejected, proposing a specific ap- propriation of about s5,000,000 for newspaper and periodical space in ad- vertising the new bonds. Senator Brady cast the only vote for the amendment.
 Amendments of the senate finance committee adopted included those in creasing from one-seventh to one- fourth of one per cent of the bonds and war savings certificates, the ex- pense allowance for Notation and de- creasing from one tenth to one twentieth per cent. the allowance for the indebtedness certificates.
 An amendment rejected would have required the allies to pay expenses of floating bonds for their loans. It was offered by Senator Poindexter.
 Senator La F'ollett's amendments propose that the bonds should be of of s2O or some multiple of that sum: that they should be re- deemable at the pleasure of the Unit ed States after five years from date of issue, or otherwise mature in twenty years, and that the rate of in terest for the certificates of in debtedness> and war savings certif1- cates should be not more than four Fer cent.

Seeing that after the natural ex.

many could not soon contemplate a
fresh struggle, Great Britain ana
America would think, after a Scheld-

Germany itself would be regarded
as a second-rate power, Great Brit

maritime superiority by Britain ana
North America would henceforth dom
mate the world. But reaction
through an unsatisfactory peace, on
our internal political life would be
the worst result. With the first JOY
at the ending of the war the ques-
