Plan for Raising Money Be-
fore Third Liberty Loan
Is Launched in April
ISSUE WILL BEAR
PER CENT INTEREST
Plan Looks to Systematic Investment of
Every Bank of Country in Short Term
Securities-Supreme Duty of Patrio-
tism, Says McAdoo.

NAoAA, tSdyO IuCAuOO.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Three bill
lion dollars will be raised in advance of
the third Liberty loan which probably
will be launched in April, by sale of
certificates of indebtedness under a plan
looking TO systematic investment of ev
cry bank in these short term securities.
\ comparative scheme for prepar
ing the way for the third loan an
nouneed last night by Secretary Me
Adoo provides for the issuance of $500,
100000 or more of these certificates ev-
cry two weeks, until the total runs to
$4,000, 100000 by the middle of March.
Every national bank, state bank and
trust company is asked to set aside each
week about one per cent of its gross re
sources for investment in the certif-
Gates in kilograms sent out by Mr.. Me
Adoo.
The first Of the $5OO,0000O0 certif-
cate issues under this plan was an
nounced last night. They Will bear

cent issues. will be dated February 5,
and will mature May @ Subscription
books are 10 close February Is. The
certificates Of this and other future is

Special Gable to Evening Public Ledger

Amsterdam, July 10.
The German military critics. in dealing
with the new offensive. present confused
and cheerless comments to their readers.
They are not even sure whether this is
Hindenburgs third blow or his fourth
or his fifth. Some say that the enemy
was again completely surprised. while
others will have it that the element of
surprise was absent on this occa sion.
\" one shows more than very mod
crate enthusiasm General Won Ardenne
In the Dusseldorfer Nachrichten, has no
more cheering comparison to make re-
garding the crossing of the Marne than
to ilken 1t to the crossing of the Pjave
by the Austro- -Hungarians exactly a
month previously. He adds the pious
hope that time will not prove the conn
narison to be accurate in further par
ticulars. .7'
He holds that the Entente forces were
again surprised. but in article in the
Berliner Tageblatt he shows that he has
ms doubts regarding that point. He
hlhts at the anxiety caused IN Germany
ny the long pause in the big scale plans
o, Hindenburg and Ludendorff. and
ADMITS the effectiveness of the En-
tentes activity on other parts of the
front. He concludes by saying that at
the end of the second day the German
enort had not been completely sue
cessfu..

War Correspondence Headquarters on
y the Western Front, July 10.
While the battle IN Champagne is
being fought by the French and
American troops the British armies
from Flanders to the Somme remain
dramatic counter.blow between Sois.
sons and Chateau.Thierry, with its
menace of turning the ienemy's right
flank, will have great effect on
them. 1t is what they have been
hoping for.
1t is 1 nthe tradition of the Foch
school Of strategy which he has had
to deny himself so long because of
enemy superiority in numbers at the
beginning Of the offensive, but now at
last the balance OF numbers on the
western front has begun to tip in our
favor. and Foch Is able to use his
reserves with greater freedom and
surety Of striking power. The great
patience Of the French general, whose
motto is attack" WAS put to the
severest strain after March 81, when
for many weeks he had to husband his
forces and remain on the defensive,
but yesterday the hour Of waiting
passed and, after checking the
enemy 'sienormous efforts on each side
Of Rheims. he seized the psychologist,
cal moment to strike him on the right
wing Of the German salient between
the Aisne and the Marne.
Much Depends on Battle
The British army's future depends
intimately on the progress of that
French counter-stroke and on the
necessity of the German Crown Prince
for more men to replace all those
dead and bleeding soldiers who lie on
the slopes and in the valleys east and
west of Rheims. He Is as deeply
engaged now as he was at Verdun
and cannot call off the battle which
he began after months Of preparation.
Opposite the British front, in some
old French chateau behind the German
lines, far beyond the zone Of the Brit.
ish Runf1re, there is group of men
who must be reading the reports from
the Crown Princes staff with extreme
anxiety and nervous tension. Chief
among them Is Prince Rupprecht of
Bavaria. commanding the group Of
armies against the British front. and
with him are his army commanders
and corps. commanders. among them
SiXt Won Arnim. who was the oppo-
nent Of the British in the first battles
OF the Somme. and Won Bernhard.
who. II liz said. has the most passionate
hatred of British among all the Ger
man generals.
These men have been preparing an.
other wide offensive against the Brit.
lsh front. They are the men who
have their eyes on the coast as the
goal Of their desires and are ready
even now to make another desperate
bid for 1t. They have been working
hard since their previous efforts came
to a dead halt after heavy losses
The hundreds Of thousands of men
under their command have been put
to the utmost strain. building light
railways over the battlefields. making
and repairing roads. digging new gun
pits and communication trenches and
weaving network Of telephone wires.
so that on given morning all the
material Of war shall be at hand for
the assaulting troops and every means
ot communication shall be ready for
them.
