The next night Sophy acted as show

The two men looked at each other

orously. The roar Of the Strand came
family into the room. On the mantel-
piece a very ornate French clock was
ticking lightly. All these sounds
seemed suddenly occentuated. They
beat time to a silence almost tragical
in its intensity.
Graillot took out his handkerchief
and dabbed his forehead. He had writ
ten many plays, and the dramatic in
stinct was strongly developed in him.
'1ouise" he muttered under his
breath.
"She is very different, know" John
went on, after u moments hesitation.
''She Is very clever and a great artist.

Amsterdam, vet. 11.-German newspa-
pers received here reveal a number of
long articles apparently intended to pre-
pare the public for further develop
ment Of the peace movement and con-
tanning favorable references to Presi-

article in the Tageblart takes the form
of an imaginary appeal to President
Wilson from some friend familiar with
Europe, for example Henry Morgan
THAI, former ambassador to Turkey,
painting a picture of Germany misled
by the false pan-German prophets but
loving peace with its whole soul, and
having learned its lesson, now ready
for a Wilsonian peace.
Professor Gravenitz. in the vossische
Zeitung, reviews the events which grad
ually alienated the United States from
Germany when President Wilson was
trying to bring about peace. his efforts,
however, being nullified by the German
military party. Today" the professor
concludes. I'VE have a government
strong enough to assert it's will for
peace. and it is again the Presidents

ticle seeking to show that the German
people have confidence in President

to send the Liberty Loan campaign
forward with a jump from the ST.
2S9,s7S,200 total where the record
stood tonight. This represents an
increase OF s245.0o0,0OO over yester-
days total and included few sub
scriptions recorded today. following
Presiden. Wilson's appeal for an
oversubscription to give the loan sig
nificance.
st. Louis still leads the districts
with Minneapolis End and Boston
third. Public meetings and parades,
arranged for Liberty Day, have been
called off nearly everywhere because
Of the influenza epidemic, but thous-
ands Of volunteers have been enlisted
for house to house canvasses. In
Washington, the Importance Of the
day as stimulus to the loan is con-
sidered so great that most govern
ment departments will suspend bus
mess to permit employees and officials
to give all their attention to the loan.
President Wilson will participate in
the celebration at New York and Sec
rotary McAdoo at Chicago. Com
menting in the days showing, the
treasury department said: THE f. +,
Of high official pleas for united sup
port Of the loan and emphatic declar-
atoms that peace talk should not
cause a slackening of subscriptions

ury. The loan review added briefly
stated the situation tonight is that
$532000.000 must be subscribed on
every one Of the remaining seven
working days Of the loan IL the total
asked by Secretary McAdoo is to be
