London, Oct. Recommending on
the speech made by ViscOunt Grey,
former secretary of foreign affairs, at
Westminster on the subject of
league Of nations, the Daily Telegraph
refers to criticisms that the allied
governments had not devoted much
thought to a league Of nations. a criti-
cism with which Lord Grey disassoci-
ated himself. The newspaper says:
THE ministers are fully occupied
with the war, but the prime minister
has most strongly declared himself a
believer in the project, and Lord Cur
zon has given a considered statement
in the house of lords on behalf of the
government favOring the league, while
Lord Robert Cecil has declared he
would join no government opposed to
the realization of this ideal.
There have been many references
by ministers and political leaders to
the same effect and none in the OPP
pOsite sense. The ideal of which
President Wilson is the foremost adj
vocate Is already in the possession of
the people and we believe its prac-
teal realization is assured"
Lord Grey supported President
Wilson's views on every important
point and he did we'll to emphasize
that the league Of nations is not a
substitute for victory. In the mean
time we have in the present great al
lance the germ Of a league and there
is no reason why its twenty-one mem
bers should not devise machinery for
using their immense power against
malefactors among the nations

London, Oct 12-Germany's armies
are In retreat from the Belgian coast

$50 miles.
The submarine bases on the coast
are being abandoned.
The great advance of the allies east
Of Cambria and st. Quentin continues,
forcing Withdrawals north and south
south. Around the bend at LaOn,
which must soon be evacuated, the
Germans are falling back. They are
yielding the Chemin des Danes to
the east and further in that direction
are retreating in the Champagne as
far as the Argonne forest, where the
Americans are sharing in the advance
of the allies.
Latest allied reconnaissance show
that the Germans have nothing of
military nature afioat, and nothing In
the air along the Flemish coast. The
Germans are now engaged in blocking
the harbors of Ostend and Zeebrug-
&c.
North Of the Scarpe in the direction
of Douai the British have passed the
Drocourt-Q ueant line and reached the

Beaumont.
At Ouiery-la Motto, further north,
they have arrived at Henin-Lietard on
the Douai- Carvin road.
The British and Americans under
Field Marshal Haig continued their
advance, the fourth great advance in
Picardy. Many more prisoners have
been captured and thousands Of
Frenchmen freed from the iron rule of

Nearly 10000 French civilians have

the advancing British and Americans.
Four thousand civilians were found

government which could scarcely
afford to provide for the require
ments of a short war at a time
when high military critics have been
urging thoughtful men to reckon on
a long drawn out conflict.
Fitch Men Favor
lax Exempt Bonds
Other bankers contend that the
government would do we'll to return
to a tax-exempt bond as the secu-
rity best adapted to attract invest
ment support under such conditions
as now prevail. The plea is made
that with the heavy increase in in
come taxation it would be easy for
the government to sell few billions
of tax-exempt bonds carrying a a
per cent interest rate.
An interior banker, known as
high authority on investment condi-
tons, who has served prominently
on Liberty Loan committees, OBJ
jected to this expedient as imprac-
ticable, adding: "You could not
place five billion loan or an eight
billion loan this way. Rich men
would make large purchases, but
their combined support would be in
adequate, in my judgment, to insure
the success of a great per cent
loan. l think that the government
should face conditions as they are
and raise it's bid for capital to a
figure where the inducements would
compel investments on a tremen-
dous scale.
"The fact that the government
has the highest credit of any bor-
rover in the land is no reason why
it should expect to stay Oh a per
cent basis in 6 per cent money
market. The success of the next
loan should not be threatened by
offering an income return out of
conformity with the changed condi-
lions which borrowers now face.
Would it not be foolish for the gov
eminent to attempt to swing an i'm
mense a per cent loan at par when
the old 4s are quoted nearly 4 points
below that level?
patriotism is all right, but the
buying power Of any community has
to be appealed to effectively when
an attempt is made to offer about
the largest loan that the world has
ever seen. I believe that conditions
call for a az per cent issue, in or
der to make the bonds go like hot
cakes
In considering the possibilities Of
the next government loan offering,
the activities of the proposed War
Finance Corporation must be taken
into account. This corporation,
among other things, is empowered

change their bonds for any later is
sues bearing a higher face rate in
terest, the government would commit
an act of bad faith should it now is
sue per cent bond under par. A
sale of it's obligations at discount
would Immediately discredit the Dor
rowing capacity of the government
and by the masses Of the people
would be regarded as an evidence Of
the weakening of their country's
credit. 1t should be the aim of our
government to keep its investors
happy and satisfied, and such an act
would ALLEVIATE the good will Of many
small purchasers Of past issues.
Either course would result in read
iustment of stock and bond values to
some degree, although it is question
whether present prices have not al
ready in large measure discounted
this reimbursement. AS an alternative
why not consider tax free per cent
bond? Outstanding issues should, OF
course, receive exchange privilege.
One sagacious banker has said to me
that, in his judgment, the entire war
can be financed at per cent II IN

nent tax exemption.
1 believe that the past high press

Loan bonds. if persisted in, will keep
the whole financial fabric constantly
agitated. But I am not prepared to
say that the financing of war needs
through frequent sales of Treasury
certificates Of indebtedness running

to give any greater market stability;
in either event bank funds must be
tied up in a very large measure.
