The fact that we are at war is borne have passed through this city to Aver. Mass. The government wants a loan of five billion dollars. Last spring the people did not realize that we were at war and they over subscribed the loan 50 per cent. and I think that with you now understand what is wanted. The bonds are real first mortgag- es on the United States government and are backed by the wealthiest ma per cent. but they are tax-free, which counts for good deal.

Gerard Imagines Things,
Former Chancellor Saws


OF my several conversations with him

reichStag speeches, In which I stated
that Germany would exact positive
guarantees that Belgian territory and
politics would not in the future be
exploited as a menacing factor against
us. | did not make any statement
as 10 the nature Of these guarantees.
I'm the progress OF our oonvorsa.
ton Mr.. Gerard suggested that the
realization of far-reaching aspira-
tons in Belgium would give King
Albert merely a sham authority and
asked whether II would not be bet
ter for Germany TO forego such plans
and instead of them endeayor 70 ac-
quire Leige, which Hr. Gerard thot
possible of achievement.
Perhaps this suggestion was bal.
intended TO provoke a r.. from me.

he wrote down what was said about
Russia He dealt but superficially
with Germany's eastern war aims, OBJ
serving that the United States interest
in this direction was very limited and
that Germany undoubtedly would have
a free hand there. For Russia and
Serbia he also revealed very slight
sympathy Mr.. Gerard did not OBJ
tain out OF my mouth any OF the
statements concerning these coun-
tries which he attributed to me-"
The former chancellor then OBJ

when diplomats undertake to ex-,
plot their official career for Journal

misled into putting into the mouths
Of foreign statesmen utterances which
either are the creation OF an ample
Imagination or are based on faulty
memory. Discussion Of political opln-
ions Is bound TO be transitory and
fleeting."
The former chancellor then touched
upon what he regarded as the ethics
of Mr.. Gerard's disclosures as COM
pared with the European idea.
"You Americans are an !mpetuous
people" he said. "You do not seem
TO permit even your retiring diplomats
