OWEN URGES WORLD PACT
TO END TEUTONC PLOTS
Speaks in Senate on His Plan for an
international Union Against
Germans.

Senator owen Of Oklahoma spoke in
the Senate yesterday in support Of his
joint resolution proposing an interna-
tional government and police to main
tain peace. end competitive ornaments
and the ambitions Of military dynas-
ties He said it would be madness for
the world to temporixe with the Teu-
tonic conspiracy to destroy the democ-
racies of the world"
SeveR-eighths of the people Of the
world. he continued, are at heart op-
posed to the ambitions Of the Prussian
military autocracy. and the United
states should strenuously take steps to
induce every neutral nation to COM
war on Prussianism.
Il believe the principles which are
laid down in the proposed resolution as
basis Of International government
viii be acceptable, in substance, to all
the nations Of the world and to the bet
ter elements of the Teutonic people
but are not acceptable. of course, to
the war-mad Prussian pan-German ele-
ments. There is some reason to believe
that the German people are about ia
awake from their dreams, and that
oven the military group may be coerced
by German opinion.
The destruction of Prussian mill
tarism may come in one of three ways
-hrst. by consent of the military lead
ers before physical destruction comes
second, by the will Of the German peo-
pie before physical ruin ensues; third
by the physical force Of the military
powers Of the entente allies.
Tho third means would be more cost
ly in life to all nations. but will be
applied il necessary"

GOVERNMENT PROFlTlNG
BY UNCOLLECTED INTEREST
Making Nearly $4,000 a Day by
Failure of Certificate Hold
ers to Act.

The government is making a clear
profit of nearly $1,000 a day on the pro-
crastination of bankers and others in
collecting money due them for short
time certificates of indebtedness, issued
months ago and now past maturity.
More than a month has passed since
the last of these certificates matured
and at present approximately s25,
900 OF the issue is 'till outstanding.
AT 81 per cent Is crest, the rate on
the liberty loan and the rate paid by
foreign governments for money loaned
them by the Treasury, the amount rep
resented by outstanding certificates,
would yield approximately $4,000 a day'
The entire proceeds of the liberty loan.
SO far as paid in (there yet remains
one installment to be paid), has been
spent for domestic needs or loaned to
Americas allies, and the Treasury is
now meeting demands upon it largely
with the proceeds of the first issue Of
certificates, $500, 900. 00o, In anticipation
OF the second liberty bond issue.
Some of the SIS. 100000 outstanding is
undoubtedly deposited as collateral for
government deposits. some has not been
turned In apparently because the hold
ers are careless and some certificates
may have been lost. but all have ceased
to bear interest.
