ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT

Secretary McAdoo realized from the be- ginning, and was reported to have frankly spoken to those with whom he was h. co inference about the matter that the orly market for $2,000 000O00 of bonds and for subsequent issues which it was his forecast he would be obliged to offer, was the people of the United States, or
 with the financial institutions in this country England, France and all the other allies have found markets not only at home but in the United States, where they could place their securities and receive in turn cash or it's equiva- lent in credit But world conditions, Sec retary McAdoo said, were such that 1t would be impossible and in fact, not desirable to place any of the bonds with investors in foreign countries.
 But details of this kind and many others were carefully considered by the secretary before he made his public of- fering One of the most important of
 the details was what the rate of interest upon the bonds should be. The decision involved careful consideration of a good many factors, some of them very tech nical. But Secretary McAdoo also real ized that it might he inevitable, and it was certainly probable, that the next offering of bonds made by him would carry a higher rate of interest than 313 per cent. It is the common expectatio in the financial district that new is sue will bear as much as per cent, ano the secretary was careful to provide, In order to prevent discrimination against the first issue of bonds, that these could be exchangable for bonds of the new is sue that brought a higher rate of inter- est Probably bonds of the liberty loan
 will not be actually exchanged for the bonds of the new issue, but instead there will be stamped upon them a pledge by the government that thereafter these bonds will bear the higher rate of inter- est.
 It was only at the last moment that
 Secretary McAdoo felt justified in saying that within the next F months the Unit ed States must have as much as $10,0O0,- 900 900 in order to carry on the war, nearly one-fifth of which would be ob- tained by war taxes. The figures of them selves are spoken of as revealing the ma gnitude of the undertaking upon which the United States has now entered as one of the allies in the war with Ger many, and now the most powerful of any of the allies in resources of all kinds-food, munitions, supplies, Red Cross aid, and, if the war continues foJ two years, in fighting men and fighting apparatus

It is the understanding here that when Secretary McAdoo was in informal con- suitation with fnanciers of whose judg- ment he had high opinion at the time he was contemplating an offer of $2000, - COG 000 he intimated that it was his pur- pose 10 float that stupendous loan with out any expense at all in the form of commissions. He knew that 1t must uu floated at par. There would necessarily be some large expenses entailed in adver- tissing and in the campaign of education which Secretary McAdoo planned But aside from those expenses, the cost of placing the loan would be- in dollars and cents, nothing. But it would, he was sure, entail great cost in form of service. for, in order to succeed it would be necessary for men of finance, men of the 1, banks and business men, all over the country. to undertake free of expense a campaign of education, giving much valu- able time to the work since the people of the United States had little or no ex- perience in investment in government se- cI1rities.

Dukhonin's Army
To Refuse Separate
Peace, London Hears

LONDON, Dec. Measuring mes.
sages from Russia to the effect that no
separate peace will be tolerated, but
that the armies under General Dukho-
min will fight on, have been received by
the Russian Embassy in London.
DR.. J. o. Gavronsky, special commits
sioner Of the Russian Provisional Gov
eminent, and n. n. Nordmann. director
of the Department o. Economics in the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who are in
London, declared in a statement TO The
Associated Press to-da. that IL was
only q matter of a few weeks, it may
be sooner, when the Bolsheviki will be
completely repudiated, as the forces in
South Russia, which is overwhelmingly
opposed to a separate peace, control the
supplies and are working quietly but
surely in the right direction.
DR.. Gavronsky said:
"One thing is sure-there will always
be Russian front. And q question
which may bear close consideration
soon will be whether the American
army could not be employed advan-
tageously where the Eastern front re-
mains firm. The people who have the
welfare of the country at heart will
never submit to the Bolsheviki, and IS
soon as they see an opportunity they
will overthrow them. When the reac-
ton sets in is the time TO consider
sending an American army. Americans
would have such stimulating effect
that the whole country would rally to
fight to make the world safe for democ-
racy."

Then Notified Allies

LONDON, Dec. IA Reuter- dispatch
from Petrogrsd says that pending final
instructions from his government, Sir
George Buchanan, British Ambassador,
has issued a statement pointing out
that Leon Trotzky's note proposing an
armstice reached the embassy nineteen
hours after the commander in chief
had received orders to open immediate
pourparlers with the enemy for an
armistice. The Allies were thus con-
fronted with an accomplished fact.
II was impossible for the ambassador
TO reply TO notes addressed TO him by
government that his own government
had not recognized. He added that gov
ernments like the British, which derive
their powers direct from the people,
cannot take a decision in matter Of
such supreme Importance without first
assuring themselves that the decision
would meet the approval Of the people.

Expect Cermany's
Conditions Will
Block Armistice

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The German
and Austro Hungarian armistice condi-
tions are expected here TO be such as
TO arouse national indignation in Rus
STA and to speed the complete over
throw of the MaYimalists, who are
militarily helpless, and in order to ef-
feet any kind of an armistice must
submit practically to the extravagant
demands of the. enemy countries.
A coincidence was seen to-day in the
publication in Petrograd of the secret
treaty between the Entente Powers
and Italy simultaneously with the de-
livery of the momentous, address by
Chancellor Won Hertlng p the Reichs-
tag in which the German statesman
voiced the warning and threat to Italy.
The publication Of diplomatic cor
respondence by the Bolsheviki govern
ment has strengthened the belief here
in the hypothesis that the Maximalist
leaders have been under the direct in
huence of Germany. Some diplomats
here are of the opinion that the pub
lication Of the secret documents in
Petrograd was result Of the direct
instigation of Germany, carefully de-
signed to discredit. especially in the
case of Italy. the war aims Of the AL
lies.
The fact that Chancellor Won Hert-
ling selected Italy out Of the whole
list of allied nations upon which to
draw the attention of the world was
regarded here to-day as being sig
nificant. 1t was viewed as being some
thing more than an effort to brighten
Italy into concluding a separate peace,
and as being a sinister hint Of catas-
trophe overhsnging Italy which is in
the minds Of Germany and Austria to
execute.
Three hundred thousand Bohemians,
Croatians. Slovenes and Serbs, all Aus
trian subjects. are fighting in the Rus
sian army, according TO semi official
information received here to-day. These
troops comprise a part of the Austro-
Hungarian soldiers who surrendered
without resistance TO the Russians
early in the war. They afterward
asked to be admitted irto the Russian
army to fight Germany and Austria
Hungary.
A diplomat in position to know the
facts declared to-day that if the Ger
man government and the Bolsheviki
agreed upon an srmistite Germany and
Austria Hungary will not derive more
than a very small part of the benefits
they may have expected from 1t. Not
half Of the more than 100000 Austro-
Hungarians and Germans held as pris-
oners Of war in Russia, it was asserted,
will consent TO return to their coun-
tries during the war
