THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
WILL START APRIL |
PoStpOnement Caused by Con-
geStiOnr Fuel Shortage
and Bad Weather

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Subnormal
economic and business conditions
brought about by a variety of unfore-
seen war developments, has caused post
pOnement of the third Liberty loan I'M
til about April /.
Originally set for February Is, ii was
stated on high authority today, the is
sue-after conferences of high govern
ment heads-has been held up until a
restoration of normal conditions shall
have brought a more receptive market"
That the loan when finally placed for
sale will bear 1-2 per cent interest ap-
peared probable today. Intense opposi-
ton of large banking interests to at
tempting to sell from three to six bill
lions Of bonds which il is expected the
loan will carry, was believed today to be
forcing the hand of the government.
These causes brought the delay in the
loan:
First. The unprecedented transpor-
tation tie-up. ProduCa- unable to
move their products, cred vast loss
es. General congestion o commerce too
operated to work a general money strin-
gency.
Second Fuel shortage, with a five
day suspension of industry, and six
voorhees, Mondays. Labor suffered heav-
lily in loss of wages; manufacturers suf-
fered. all shippers suffered as the right
Of way was given to coal and other ship
ments laid on sidings.
Third. Unexampled bad weather. Two
thirds OF the congregational element"
according to Liberty loan headquarters
was lacking during February. People
stayed indoors, there was a minimum of
mingIing in public places. Open air
speeches and even indoor gatherings
would have been sparsely attended.

EUROPE IS FILLED
WITH WAR CRISIS
AND UNCERTAINTY
AIStro-German Relations Are
Strained and Contending
Forces Expect Great Blow in
West

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Europe has
suddenly become filled with tense crisis,
that may at any moment change the
complexion of the war from its present
comparative passivity and bring about
final mastery. The relations between
Germany and Austria are strained as
they have been at no other time since
the war began; the contending forces
along the west front are on the tip toe
of expectancy for the delivery of
giant blow; the allies themselves are
just passing through the final phase OF
q critical situation concerning the au-
thority of the Versailles war council,
and Russia is revealing an internal sit
uation of growing confusion that may
turn out to be the greatest crisis of ali.
At no previous period OF the war has
there been so intense a feeling of gen.
eral suspense as now exists. 1t is as
if an instructive belief had begun to
circulate that the early days of spring
were preparing the ground for civiliza-
TONS supreme crisis.
The critical situation in Russia,
which is the most spectacular for the
moment, must be judged with extreme
caution The Willingness" of the Boil
sheviki to sign a German peace, and
the announced intention of Lenine and
Trotzky to reply to the German de-
manks are coupled with definite state
mAnts in Petrograd that de-mobiliza-
ton OF the army and navy had been
stopped and that orders have been given
to resist the German advance.
After the moral victory won by the
Bolsheviki at Brest-Litovsk, the pres
ent new peace program so suddenly an
nounced, may turn out to be only a
temporary measure, dictated by a crisis
within the Bolsheviki circle of leaders
that has no lasting significance.
But whether this be true or not, Won
Hindenburg can put no trust in the
permanence of any peace signed at
Petrograd while the war continues in
the west. The era of crisis now rife
throughout Europe will be particularly
liable to explosive tendencies in Rus
STA until the war ends on all fronts.
Won HindenburgE situation today is
no less disquieting than it was yes
terday.

Although there are now 35,l46 cases
OF Spanish influenza in the army

paitment announces its belief that the
worst is passed. 1t is also exclaimed
that fear Of the mnlady itself was not

Senate at Washington, resolution
calling for an appropriation of $1,000

AS u result of 1886 cases OF the

mated that every fourth man in the
camp has been seized. and about ten
per cent of sufferers have contracted

Jersey Trolley
are S Raised
To Seven Cents
New Rate Stands Until
April, When Penny
Transfers End

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 27.-Trolley
fares on the lines Of the Public Ser
vice Railway Company will be seven
cents beginning October Is, instead of
five cents. Permission to charge the
higher rate was granted to-day by the
Public Utility Commission. The rate
is effective until April /, 1919, when
the company is permitted to charge
only six cents The charge of one
cent for an initial transfer, permission
for which was granted in July, still
stands.
Tha trolley company is Obliged to
file with the commission before Octo-
Der 10 statemens of its payroll cx-
pendtures and a complete comparative
income statement of the current year
and preceding years, and these state
ments must be flied monthly during
the period that the increased fare is
charged. Failure to do so will be
ground for rcvokin9 the permission to
increase fares.
Increase Called Justified
The commissioners stated that Will
early in August they had ruled unfavor-
ably on an application by the company
TO increase its fare to seven cents and
charge two cents for transfers, condi-
tions had changed since then, and the
increase now Was warranted. One OF
the chief reasons impelhng the com
mission to act favorably on the present
application, it was said, was the in
creased wages which the National War
Labor Board has ordered the trolley
company to pay.
"Ihc now conditions which have ars
en-" the commission states, ARE the
further increase in wages ordered to be
paid by the petitioner 70 its motor
men and conductors by the National
War Labor Board on August ! last. l.
will be noted in our former report that
in ca .ulating the amount of additional
reven.' necessary to be obtained by
the petitioner there was allowed the
sum of 81 ,0S6O00 for increased wages.
This was the full amount of increased
wages which the company claimed ii
would be obliged TO pay.
Old Opinion Cited
"A. that time ,lc matter Of wage
adjustment had been submitted to and

tional War Labor BOARD. and in efer-
