EDITORIAL NOTE. william Le-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeItzendorf,
the Iatter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the pOssessOr of it's innermost
secrets.
The English "Who's whOo says of
him: "He has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental coun-
tries and is considered by the govern
ment (Of Great Brittany an authority on
such matters" Another authority says:
hFew people have been more closely as
ISOLATED with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than he"
LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret information at his command
than any contemporary in civil life, and
tor the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueuk works as voluntary
assistant.

KAISER'S EOlCT, NEW PEACE BID,
 CALLED WHINE
Emperor Startled, Royal Proclamation Shows, British Assert.

London, Aug. 3-The Kaiser's proclamation to the German people disclaiming "the empty shadow of am- bition and schemes of conquest is regarded here as much the most di- rect of the long series of peace bids that are being voiced in Berlin and Vienna.
 Coming simultaneously with the opening of the Allies greatest offen- sive, it is 8 warning to Germany. '"The enemy is stretching out his hands toward Germany, but he shall never have it. New nations continue to enter the war against us." This is interpreted as more of a plea for the Allies to state their peace terms than has occurred thus far.
 The imperial pronouncement com pines, in the British view, a warning to the German people of greater hard ships ahead and an invitation to the Allis to indicate their peace terms, as- surfing them more directly than ever before that Germany is willing to consider conditions which last Autumn | were utterly excluded, at the time when Germany flew peace kites la belled Look at the war map"
 | There have been no allusions to the war map recently, least of all in this utterance, which the London evening papers characterize as a whine.
 1 It is unquestioned in the most au- thoritative circles in London and 1 Paris that the German government is desperately fearful of the conse- l quences of fourth winter of war. | Austria is putting terrific pressure on Germany to make a peace move, while important elements in Germany are strongly supporting Vienna, espe- cially in Bavaria and Wurtemburg. l The poorer working classes in all the German cities find living almost impossible under present conditions. They remember the horrors of last winter and fear they. will be a hun
 dredfold worse this year.
 | Particular weight is given to the Kaiser's proclamation because Ger many had received the great speech I of Foreign Minister Balfour, outlining the war aims of the Allies. The Kali ser's utterance is regarded as the di- i rect and immediate answer to Bal four, shrewdly designed to appear i generally acQuiescent while leaving the way open for ample haggling.
 If the peace campaigns should re- suit in placing Germany at the coun- cil board she would instantly spread
 out a demand for a peace highly ad-
 vantageous to her. The Kaisers
 speech might, together with other re-
 cent developments, prove a basis for
 initiating peace negotiations if the Allies were able to accept any Ger
 man move as made in good faith. but
 they are unwilling as yet to do this. There is an intense determination
 in London and Paris to inflict such
 a defeat upon Germany as will force ithe docile masses of the German peo-
 pie to understand that Germany real ly has been defeated. Unless this ii
 done, it is spointed out, the people would be told by the government that
 a victory had been won. The auto- cracy would claim the credit; il
 would be more strongly entrenched
 in power and would be able to resume its plottings>, against Europe.

Germany Planning
 Manufacturing Firms
 In Neutral Countries

Copenhagen, Aug. 3.-Gerrnany is believed to be making preparations for the establishment in Denmark and Sweden, of large number of branches of well known German factories and industrial firms, says the Svenska Dagbladet. These plans if carried out would be very detrimental to neutral trade since the countries of the Allies would be naturally suspicious of all neutral firms which might be serving German interests. The paper suggests a combination of industry and finance to offset this German influence.

the rock is a sapling of mountain pine, symbolical of America. The de- sign portrays m vivid manner the idea of the sculptor-fearlessne of spirit and consciousness of power.
 The obverse side of the quarter dol lar is intended to typify in a meas ure the awakening of interest of the country to it's own protection. The law specifics that the obverse side of the coin shall bear not only the word Liberty" but also a representation of Liberty. and the designer has embod- jed the two in happy manner. Lib- erty is shown as a full length figure, front view, with the head turned to the left, stepping forward through the gateway of the country, represented by a passage through a low wall oil which are the words: Tn God we trust" The left arm is upraised bear ing a shield in token of protection while the right hand Is holding forth an olive branch, indicating the desire for peace, while at the same time IS drawing the cover off the shield as

The law also necessitates that the reverse side bear an American eagle which is shown on the coin in full flight, wings extended across the field and displays the idea of strength and freedom in vivid manner. Above the eagle is the inscription: United States of America and below "E Plur-
 bus Unum" and Quarter Dollar" The lettering is connected above on the outer circle of the coin by thirteen stars.
 The ten cent piece owing 10 the snallness of the coin, is of more simple design but is still distinguished by remarkable beauty. The obverse shows a head of Liberty of great beauty although devoid of the classic outlines of designs of Liberty on the older coins. A winged cap covers the head.

The report of the treasurer of the United States for the year 1916 con- tains an interesting and instructive article dealing with the new silver of the designs stamped upon the va rious pieces of the issue.
 The majority who have taken notice of the new coins have been much impressed with the singular beauty of the designs. From the artistic standpoint the coins are well entitled to the appellation of works of art as they combine the highest type of portrotnre possible in metal with a variety of design both novel and har- mon1ons. Probably nothing so ornate has ever been issued by government in the form of minted coin.
 In addition, the various designs express an idea tha is both beautiful and interesting.
 The new mintage also has the dis tinction of being the first that has been issued by the United States in which the several denominations were of separate design. Yet they, at the same time conform in every way to the statutory designation relative to the general features of design which may be stamped upon metal coins issued by the United States govern ment.
 The new issue comprises three coins of ten, twenty five and fifty cent denominations. The process of selecting the new designs began in January, 1916. Following conferences between the director of the mint and the American commission of fine arts. noted sculptors were commissioned to prepare sketch models and total mitted.
 From this array three sets were chosen. The designs for the ten and fifty cent pieces are the work or Adolph A. Weinmann, the noted New York sculptor. who has designed some of the most famous of American monuments. The beautiful fifty cent piece was modelled by Herman A. Me- 4ss.i MO achieved world wide fame  through his masterly work at the Chicago, Paris and Bunalo expositions.
 The symbolism of the coins is beautifully expressed. The half dol lar bears a full length figure of Lib :. erty, indicating the first principle of our government. Behind the beau tifully modelled figure and forming a background is the stars and stripes flying to the breeze. The figure of Liberty is progressing in full stride toward the dawn of a new day, typi- fled by rising sun on a distant hori- zon and bears in her hand branches of laurel and oak, symbolical of civil and military power. The reverse side of the coin shows an eagle Of exceedingly graceful design perched high on a mountain crag with wings unfolded. Springing from a rift in

Chicago, Feb. 20. - Wheat - The
transportation problem IS much talked

provement as yet. The trouble APP
pears TO be not with the shipment Of
foodstuffs destined abroad or war ma

laneous merchandise machinery, lum-

abroad, for which car space is not
available, due to the fact that SO much
Of the worlds tonnage has been com
mandeered by foreign governments.
The speech OF Lloyd-George today was
given a very bearish Interpretation by
the pit element. The fact remains,
however that food destined for eX-

caused by the miscellaneous merchan-

Corn-The almost entire absence
from the market Of some Of the indus

brings the premium rather than the

Some Of the setback in the futures
