imperial government regrets that the
attitude of her enemies. who are so
entirely opposed TO peace. makes it inn
bring about the realization of these
lofty ideals.
Germany Wanted Peace.
Germany and her allies We're ready
to enter now into a discussion of peace
and had set down as basis the guaranty
of existence. honor and free develop
ment of their peoples. Their aims, as
has been expressly stated in the note
Of December u, 1916, We're not directed
toward the destruction o. humiliation
of their enemies and We're, according
To their conviction, perfectly cOmpau-
bic with the rights Of the other ma
tons.
No Designs Against Belgium.
As TO Belgium. for which such warm
and cordial sympathy Is felt in the
United States. the chancellor had de-
clared only a few weeks previously that
its annexation had never formed part
of Germany's intentions. The peace TO
be signed with Belgium was to provide
for such conditions in that country with
which Germany desires 10 maintain
friendly. neighbOrly relations, that Bel
GUM should not be used again by Ger
many's enemies for the purpose OF in
stigating continuous hostile intr1Gues-
Such precautionary measures are all the
more necessary as Germany's enemies
have repeatedly stated. not Only III
speeches delivered by their leading
men. but also in the statutes OF the
economical conference in Paris. that II
IS their intention not TO treat Germany
as an equal. even after peace has been
restored. but to continue their hostile
attitude and especially to wage sys-
tematic, economical war against her.
The attempt of the four allied pow
ers To bring about peace has failed,
owing to the lust for conquest of their
enemies who desired TO dictate the con-
ditions of peace. Under the pretence
of following the principle of national
ity. our enemies have disclosed their
real aims in this way. viz: to dismem-
her and dishonor Germany. Austria
Hungary. Turkey and Bulgaria To the
wish IF reconciliation they oppose the
will Of destruction. They desire fight
to the bitter end.

Bay AND BAYOU AND

Hundreds sought bay and bayou

night Bayview and Chicoway Inn

ing was splendid, and enjoyed by
many, and at Bayview, which was
crowded from. early - the afternoon
until the last light bell had gonged

premium. Many of the bluejackets
who were in the City for the day Wis
tied one or both of these places, and
derived a gret deal of enjoyment.
1t was stated that for several
hours at Bayview park yesterday pa
irons even donned wet bathing suits,
the supply being hardly equal to the
demand. There are a large number
in stock there, and scores of persons
carried Individual suitings, and the

FIRST INLAND WATER
TRANSPORT TRIED

London. June 3.-The first stage
of a striking experiment in inland
water transport was completed with
the arrival N Eondon the other day
of two barges laden with coal from
colieries in the north of England.
The barges were propelled for 100
miles by a detachable motor.
The new device consists of a four
cylinder, Horsepower marine en-
CINE, capable of hauling two boats
with a load of 100 tons. 1t is mount
ed on the top of the cabin, and con-
tro]led from the helm. Petrol is en-
poyed for starting, and paraffin
when running. The engine and at
UaCnmenJs can ne transshlpped from
one barge 10 another in a few min
utes, and it is stated that its use
means economy in time and money
by comparison with towing by horses.

Grand Ridge, June 3-The excess

to excite great apprehension. The

weeks to fall off and those early
melons have rather wilted than grown

time, and if moisture is soon had

Maj -Gen. Erasmus N. Weaver,
chief of coast artillery % the L. S.
army has reported to the chief of
staff:
Further experimentation with the

Practice with torpedoplanes-sea
planes from which torpedoes are fired
has shown it is difficult to insure
the torpedo taking the desired course.
If the young American inventor
succeeds in solving the problem of
directing a torpedo by wireless from
an airplane, the antidote for U-boats
may have been at last discovered.
There are now certain limitations

London Banks Pay OF
Notes Here With Gold

Local bankers were interested yes
terday in the action taken by the BANK

that it would not affect local institu-
tons inasmuch as they have Withdrawn
most of the large balances which they
were carrying in London prior to tne

market. $1,000.
IL was stated in one quarter that pos
sibly the reduction in the London rate
indicated a desire on the part OF the
English bankers to encourage the re-
tention of American banking balances
on this side of the water until the ten
sion in this local market had been re-
lieved. 1t is TO the advantage OF tne
British to keep interest rates down III

ter borrowing terms.
IL became known yesterday that the

arranged to pay off to-day the S5O.OOo'-
600 credit obtained from American
banks eighteen months ago, are meet
ing the obligation with gold, much TO
the surprise of local banks, which eN-
tended the credit. The London banks,
it is stated, have made a special ar,
rangement with the Bank of England
whereby the gold required is re leased
to New York from the Ottawa deposl-
tory.
This particular credit was arranged

months at AZ per cent. An American
committe of bankers. headed by Frank
A. Vanderlip. of the National City
Bank, handled the transaction at this
end, and the plan involved the dis
tribution of the loan among banks
throughout the country. The London
banking institutions on whose account
the credit was arranged and which are
now meeting the maturity were Lloyds

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Stiffness of local money rates yester-
day had a depressing effect on the
leading foreign exchanges in the local
market. Francs. sterling and Italian
lire were all substantially lower. Lire
went to 7,35 TO the dollar. compared
with 7.19 the preceding day. Demand
sterling declined to s4.75@s. Spanish
pesetas yielded nearly half a cent on
the fresh gold imports TO that country
and the high money rates. Russian ru-
bles were not much changed. About
the only exchange that moved up was
Swiss francs. which touched new high
record for the war period Of 400 for
sight drafts. II is understood that
there is some buying Ct Swiss francs
in this market by interests which con-
vert them into German marks, and thus
are able TO negotiate payments in Ger
many that could otherwise not be pro-
vidpd for. At the prevailing ratio be-
tween German marks and Swiss francs
the German unit is worth about 1912
cents. compared with liz cents before
the United States broke with Germany.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with a week ago, are given in the table
below. American bankers have sus-
pended all dealings in German and
Austrian exchange. so that daily quo
tations for either marks or kronen are
no longer available.
