Green vistas.

Washington is a city of beautiful
vistas just now. Every street presents
a picture Of surprising spring lowell
ness. The soft fringes Of foliage are
blending overhead, and every day adds
to the depth Of the shadows cast by the
sun. To those who have never seen the
capital blossom the sight is q surprise.
The parks, too, are aglow with the first
fresh tones Of spring. Shrubs are show
ing the colors Of the early blooms. Mag
nolia trees are beginning to bud. The
turf is taking on an intense green hue.
Taken altogether, Washington presents
a spectacle of wondrous refreshment to
the eye, after the baroness of winter.
Few cities approach it in respect to the
number Of shade trees in the streets,
and this fact gives it an especial ad-
vantage in the early days when every
bud and blossom and tender leaf adds
to the brightness Of the air. There is
NO moro satisfying sight in America
than these long lines Of powered streets

Germany Smashing Again.

Germany renews the offensive on the
west front with ferocity that indicates
a desperate determination to get some
where in order to justify the terrible
penalties that have been exacted by the
allies. Already signs appear Of grave
discomfort at home on the score of the
casualties, for which nothing more than
a shifting Of the lines in enemy territory
now appears. If either Amiens or Arras
can be taken, each with a certain mill
tary value, the offensive can perhaps
be measured as a strategic success. Thus
far the renewed assault has yielded only
slight gains, the latest accounts indicat
ing that the French and British are
holding their own at virtually all points,
with heavy enemy losses.
After the first shock Of, the offensive
Of two weeks ago feeling prevailed
that there would be an allied counter
offensive on large scale. Intimatiens
to that effect were conveyed in official
comments on the battle. But save for
. few movements, to gain definite posi-
tions for the Strengthening of the de-
fensive lines, there has been nothing ap-
preaching general counter attack. 1t
il possible that Gen. Foch has vetoed
plans for such q movement. Possibly
tho losses suffered in the defense in men
and guns, especially the latter, have been
such as to make an immediate counter
Offensive hazardous. If Germany per-
sists in exhausting her forces in assaults
that yield only immaterial territorial
gains It Is perhaps the better Judgment
to permit her to do so.
Rumors Of impending changes in the
German high command are heard. The
fact that Gen. Maekensen is under or
ders to proceed to the west front is
by some interpreted as move for the
replacement Of Won Hindenburg. his col
league, Won Ludendorff, having, it is in
timated, lost the confidence Of the kaiser
in the course Of frank expression of
his dissent from the general battle plan.
But changes in the higher personnel are
Of small moment. The displacement Of
von Hindenburg is extremely unlikely,
though there is no calculating the vaga
ries Of the German emperor.

Tho Third War Loan.

Announcement of the terms Of the
third liberty loan contains one surprise.
The bonds will mature in ten years, in
stead Of twenty, as was to have been
expected from the sequence established
in the frst and second loans. The first
reaches maturity in lo47, or thirty years
from date Of issue; the second in twenty
i've years, or in 1942, and the third win
4all due In 1928. Whether the fourth
loan will be for fifteen or twenty years,

and third loans. 10 for future decision.

per cent July Is, and the final payment
40 per cent August 10. This skips
June payment, for the reason that in
that month income tax payments are
due, and it is figured that to exact bond
instailments then would impose too heavy
. strain upon the public purse. Thus
these third bonds are easier to pay for
than those of either Of the preceding
issues.
In one other respect the bonds of the
third issue will differ from the others.
The first interest coupon will stand for
129 days instead of half a year, SO as
to bring the first interest payment on
September Is instead of November 9.
This will avoid conflict of interest pay
ments and divide the Treasury burden.
These bonds, at Al per cent interest,
running for ten years, will be the most
attractive issue of the series, so far.
The higher interest rate and the shorter
period of maturity Will appeal to many
who seek them as an investment. The
fact that they cannot be converted into
the bonds of any subsequent issue, of a
higher rate of interest, will not deter
buyers.
The big drive begins tomorrow. All
is ready for it. The bonds are already
being printed. There will be no delays
in delivery, as in the first and to slight
extent in the second issue. The Treas
ury's printing equipment is now in
shape to meet all demands, and the out
flow of the securities will be as rapid as
necessary.
There is no maximum figure for the
issue. Three billions are asked, and
three billions will be loaned. More is
expected and all oversubscriptions will
be taken Washington will take its
quota and beyond.
