Roosevelt and Ishii

T INDEED, the situation as regards in
trigue develops international and
historic phases. Mr.. Roosevelt tells how
IN 1902, by insisting on arbitration, he
possibly prevented German occupation Of
Venezuela. an incident which threatened 70
bring on war between Germany and the
United States. A reply credited to the
Berlin Foreign Office says that Mr. Roose-
welt Thought the best guarantee of South
American conditions would be the estab-
lishment Of a German state in South Bra
zil," statement which the Colonel prompt
" denies. At the same time yiscount
lshii, head of the japanese mission, de-
clares that agents of the Kaiser, working
both here and in Japan, have been trying
for ten years to embroil the United States
and Japan in war.

RUSSIA

A WEEK of the All-Russian Congress
n leaves Russia on the brink Of civil
war. AS the congress convenes, General
Korniloff is eulogized as true patriot by
General Alexieff, recently resigned. Five
parties are discernible in the political con-
fusion, four of which are represented in
the congress. When in the opening ses-
sions Kerensky appears and defends his
course, the Bosheviki forces appear to lose
ground, so that agitator Lenine is ordered
arrested. The tide flows in favor of Keren-
sky and moderate coalition cabinet. Then
by one vote the congress apparently accepts
the coalition idea and by another over
whelmingly rejects it, leaving Russia in
peril of civi:, strife. Meantime Russia is
made aware that the continuance of Amer
lean aid is conditioned upon Russian con-
tlnuance in the war against Germany,
while the Entente Powers seek to persuade
the Provisional Government to reimpose
the death penalty for both military and
civil offences.

The Disloyal Press

FOLLOWING the amendment to the
trading with the enemy" bill making
it possible for the Postmaster General to
revoke second class mail privileges, orders
are sent to several papers to show why
they should not be excluded from the
mails. Among these are Victor Berger's
Milwaukee Leader" which is promptly
barred; The Illinois Staats-Zeitung,"
THE Newark Frei-Zeitung," and THE
New York Call" In addition "Pearson's
Magazine" goes bankrupt, largely owing
to its pro-German policy. Max Eastman,
editor of THE Masses" recently barred
from the mails, learns President Wilson's
views on freedom of speech and the press
in times of war, namely, that time Of
war must be regarded as wholly excep-
tional, and that it is legitimate to regard
things which would in ordinary circum-
stances be innocent as very dangerous to
the public welfare"

the dscredted German system of autocracy.
Whatever may be the motive behind it, the
note in question cannot be regarded as a
peace proposal offered in good faith"
Another Western paper, "The Indianap-
oils News" spoke its mind as freely as
the preceding journals. 1t had this to say
of the German plan:
"The German government is mistaken in
thinking that there can be any bargaining
over Belgium. Its armies must get out un-
conditionally, or be driven out. The world
is not interested in any concessions that Ger
many may be willing to make to the nation
that she has enslaved, but it is deeply inter-
ested in the restoration to that nation of the
independence and liberty that rightly belong
to it, Germany cannot be allowed to use for
trading purposes what does not belong to
her 1t is highly improbable that the impe-

PEACE

THERE is little of great moment TO re-
Il port on peace, discussion of which
continues largely by means of speechmak-
ing in England and Germany. Chancellor
Michaelis refuses to state Germany's aims
at this time, while Terestchenko in Russia
and Miner in England assert that the
Kaiser is still for German peace that
Germany is still unrepentant and doml-
mated by the Pan-Germans. German Sec
fetary of Foreign Affairs Won kuehlmann
asserts that the Kaiser and his people are
Ct one accord. and denies the report that
Germany ever offered separate peace to
England or France. At the same time the
postscript" to the German reply reported
last week. in which Germany offered to
rcnounce Belgium on certain terms, IS de-
clared "non-existent." 4 hint that Nj
chaelis NAV be forced from Office is seen in
the statement that his health Leaves very
much to be desired"
From England comes word that on the
strength of promises the Kaiser IS given
renewed power, with permission to gamble
further on the theory that Russia is out
of the war and that constitutional reforms
will be granted. Count Czernin, Hun
garian Minister of Foreign Affairs, de-

FINANCE

THE second Liberty Loan is launched
i on its four weeks career. With
goal Of three billions, the bond issue will
nevertheless be extended to cover half OF
all subscriptions over that amount, five
billion sale being hoped for from among
ten million buyers. The s400,OOO,00o is
sue of Treasury certificates, also opened
this week. is quickly oversubscribed. Fur
thermore, to keep the money market easy
during the period of the Joan a money
pool from which s2OO,OOO,O00 will be avail
able is formed.
The other notable financial event Of the
week is the signing by President Wilson
of the 50 ,535 100000 war tax bill, calling
for immediate operation Of wide scale
of income and excess profits taxes. In the
meantime the Senate agrees under press
ure from the White House TO rush the
soldiers insurance bill through before ad-
iournment.
