 RE EIGHT BILLIONS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan, B. Published reports that the third lib erty loan would be for $8.0OO,0OO,- 900 at AZ per cent interest, one-half per cent above the rates on the sec ond loan. were denied today by Secre- tary McAdoo. In a formal statement he said:
 g "The report that the next issue of liberty bonds will be $S,000.0O0,O0O and at AZ per cent and on March 15. 1918, is wholly unfounded. I wish could make the patriotic newspaper men realize how mischievous and hurtful to the interests of the country such speculative statements are.

 GIVES WAR AIMS
Absolute Freedom of the Seas; Evac- uation of Russia; French TerTi-
 tory Must he Freed

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan, B.

 Specifically touching the situation .r Belgium and France the President said: Belgium. the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored without any attempt upon the part of Germany to limit the sovereignty she enjoys in common with all other free nations. All French territory should he freed and the invaded portions re- stored to that country. The wrong done to France by the Prussians in 1871, in the matter of Alsace-Lor- raine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should he righted in order that peace may once more be made secure in inc ipterest of all"
 Referring to Russia the President said in part: They call on us to say what we desire. Whether their lead CTS believe it or not. it is our heartfelt desire that some way may be opened whereby we may be privileged to as sist Russia in attaining her utmost hope--liberty and an orderly peace. The day of conquest and aggrandize- ment is gone by. So is also the day of secret covenant entered into in the interests of particular governments" '"
