A GREAT OPERATOR

Sometime last week perhaps about four or five days before there came announcement that the pope would 1n tentative way suggest basis for peace negotiations, there came infor- nation to some of the leaders in the business world that peace propositions might be speedily made One of these leaders said that they would probably consist of first no annexations and no indemnities; second freedom of the seas; third, disarmament, and four, the restoration to Germany of some of her colonies. When asked what was meant by the freedom of the seas he said dis armament of the great navies The rea- sons are excellent for surmising that some of those who are in touch with affairs at Washington were informed of the coming of peace propositions, all though they did not know from whom these propositions would come. They were of opinion, however, that they would be due to German diplomatic strategy and would not be accepted by the allies.

will be on the market by the time the frost colors the leaves. Another reason ahle inference refers to the rate of in- terest which the secretary will deem 1t expedient to nominate in the bond. He has already authority from Con- gress to market s3000,000,000 more bonds at the rate of 315 per cent. But if the rate should be increased to 4 per cent for the next loan Congress must grant the authority. As the secretary evidently plans legislative action, au- thorizing a large increase in loans it is presumed that he also deems a rate of interest of not less than per cent as the one necessary to fix upon.
 Therefore there are two reasonable inferences respecting the new loan. one being that 1t will be in the market in the mid-fall and that a special appeal will be made to the farmers and the other being that the rate of interest will be fixed at # per cent.
 I is also suspected that the secre tary does not look for so large con tributions to the new loan as were those which were made by the corpora tions when the first liberty loan was upon the mark ct
