and $14, 900, 100000.
"To raise is to IA billion dollars on

bonds on recurring instruments seems
to some people an impossible task.
IT is a stupendous undertaking but
tt is not impossible for America. 1t
is not easy but it can be done. Our

our success Is certain. we have only

NO PROPOSALS
FOR SEPARATE
PEACE MADE
German Secretary Denies
Making Any Offers To
France Or England
STORY WAS BEING
USED IN RUSSIA
Reported That Russia Was
To Be Abandoned By
Her Allies

Amsterdam, Oct. 3-GeTmany has
made no proposals whatever for a
separate peace to France or Great
Britain. DIR. Won KuehImann. the
German foreign secretary, makes this
announcement, according TO an Of
| fetal statement received from Ber-
lin, in answering the speech made
by General Verkhovsky, the Russian
minister Of war, before the democra-
tic congress in PetrOgrad. The state
ment reads:
The Russian war minister. Gen
eral NeTkhovsky. asserted at the
Petrograd democratic congress that
the imperial chancellor, Dr. Mich
aelis) had stated among other things
at Stuttgart that Germany was ready
to return Alsace- Lorraine to France.
The imperial chancellor's utterances
at Stuttgart are generally known and
the assertion of the Russian war
minister is an invention.
General Verkhovsky further stat
ed it was Germany's intention to
make a separate peace with Great
Britain and France at the cost Of
Russia and that Great Britain and
France had informed the Russian
government that they would not be
parties u any SUCH BIopOaal'
Il herewith state that Germany
has made no proposals whatever for
a separate peace either to France or
Great Britain.
Last month reports were clrculat-,
ed in Russia that France and Great
Britain had received offers from Ger
many to make peace at the expense
of Russia They became SO inRistent
that the Russian government OBJ
tanned from France and Great Brit
ain formal denials that they would
make peace with Germany to the
detriment of Russia. General Verk-
hoysky made this announcement be-
fore the democratic congress in
Petrograd on Sept. 2s.
The reported statement Of General
Verkhovsl<y as regards Alsace-Lor-
raine has not been received previous
ly in this country.

greater quantities than those Fequir-
