On March 4, Brisbane followed
Hearsts suggestion with the fol-
lowing editorial, giving the credit
| for the idea to three members of
the United States Cabinet"
Within a few days, to the writer
of this editorial, three members of
the United States Cabinet. the three
most influential, those that would
have most to say. under the Presi-
dent, if war should come, have said
the same thing, and here is the
substance of it.
The United States will not pay ex-
travagant prices for war supplies
We have been making up tables of
figures based on years past, We have
had statements prepared as to the
average prices during past years of
steel. oil, copper, powder, etc. And
if we get into this war and begin
buying with American money well
pay the average price for years past,
not the extOrtionate war prices THAI
unfortunate Europe has had to pay.
To Proft by Example.
we have not been studying Eu-
rope and its methods in vain. We
observe that England has comman-
deered raw material, and has paid
what these raw materials cost plus
a small reasonable profit.
I'VE shall not pay for products like
steel, copper, coal and oil, two, three,
seven, hundred and thousand per cent
profit. We shall pay a fair profit, and
no more. The government will not
ask What will you charger The gov
ernment will say, You have so and
so and we know it. We want it, and
this is what we will pay YOU for it,
IF those interested doubt that this
quotation is given accurately; if they
question that the three most impor-
tant members of the Cabinet speaking
under the President, who, of course.
cannot be quoted, said exactly what

At the morning session of the SUBJ
committee Albert Bushnell Harte,
whose name appeared on the LIST of
pro-Germans, testified in his own be-
half.
He stated that his views had always
been pro-ally and that his writings
had either been strictly neutral or
friendly to the allied cause He cited
certain articles published by himself
in various newspapers and elsewhere
in defense of Belgium and condemning
the invasion by Germany.
Prof. Harte produced three of his
associates at Harvard University to
testify as to his attitude on the ques-
ton of the war.

Three Powers May Present
Solid Front at Peace
Conference.
By Z. G. FITZHAMON.


cial Cable Dispatch).
London, Dec. 1O.-One of the prin-
cipal matters discussed at last weeks
interallied conferences here was the
prolongation Of the allied pact of
London, made in 1914. Unless ii is
extended, this pact will automatically
expire with the signing of peace.
The parties to this agreement pledg-
ed themselves not to make separate
peace 1t is not treaty or alliance.
'Dut may be best characterized as
gentleman's agreement"
Whether the imminence of President
WILSON'S arrival i'm Europe or en-
thuslasm over his ideal of freedom
or the seas contributed to supplying
the stimulus to the three powers to
renew this pact is a delicate question.
Uneaslness Over Wilson Plans.
In weIl-informed circles the view
prevails that renewal OF the pact
at this time may have been decided
upon by England, France and Italy
with view to insuring a solid front
Tor the event of an impasse that
might arise at the Peace Confererse
To say that there is alarm felt
here with regard to the world peace
congress would be incorrect, but it
Is an uudeniable fact that certain
press dispatches from Washington
and New York have produced a
distinct note of Uneasiness in the
public mind. The implication con-
tanned in some of the dispatches
that President Wilson is coming to
the Peace Conference with the de-
liberate intention of acting as arbi-
ter or dictator. is not taken serious
ly by responsible newspapers here.
Asquith Gives Warning.
Members of the government are
naturally silent on these delicate
subjects. Ex-Premier Asquith, how
ever. warns freely against the mis-
chief makers who are secretly at
tempting to undermine the friend
ship between Britain and America.
Influences that need to be
watched are at work. They are
trying to make mischief between the
British Empire and the United
States" says the former premier.
L can see many symptoms. We
are being warned of the rapid and
unprecedented growth Of the United
States navy, the vast development
of the American mercantile marine,
and probable American economic
penetration Of Siberia and Eastern
Russia.
These are samples of what I
mean In must be clearly under
stood that the League of Nations
does not mean the cessation of in
dustTial and mercantile COmpeti-
ton"

DEVELOPMENTS ARE FAVORABLE
 TO THE ALLIES
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Manchester, Eng, Sept. 27.-Speak- ing at conference of the National liberal federation today Herbert H. Asquith, former British prime minis ter. said the development of the sit uation during the last two months had been highly favorable to the al- lied cause.
 But the more confident We are in our faith in ultimate victory the speaker continued, 'the more more we should be on guard that our un- exampled sacrifices are not wasted, frittered away, without securing clean peace and setting up of new international policy which will chain up forever the furies of war"
 By "a clean peace" MT. Asquith said he meant peace which would be attained for the world object, for which the allies have been fighting. The only peace the allies could ac- cept, MT. Asquith concluded, was one that guaranteed to all nations, small or great security against sinister pre- datory ambitions and full right of self determination.

Germans Allies Crumbling.

In fact the emphasis laid everywhere upon the conditions which the Bull ,gars must meet almost overshadowed the very real feeling of satisfaction over this sign that the expected crumbling of Germans lesser allies is at hand.
 Collapse of Bulgarian resistance of course would be of tremendous mili- tary advantage tA the entente and might quickly affect the attitude of Turkey.
 Neutral diplomats in Washington ap- peared, if possible, even more lm- pressed by this prospect than the rep resentatives of the allies. Some even went so far as to express the opinion that since Bulgaria has dared to defy her master, Germany's more powerful colleague Austria. may gather cour- age to disregard German pressure and come out with an unqualified pro- posal for cessation of hOstilities.
 The United States is not at war with Bulgaria and the Bulgarian minister still occupies his legation here.

ard of right and privilege for all peo- ples and nations or shall the strong dc as they will and the weak suffer without redress?
 Shall the assertion of right be haphazard and by casual alliance or shall there be common concert to oblige the observance of common rights?
 He added:
 mo man, no group of men, chose, these to be the issues of the strug- gle.
 "Thev're are the issues of it.
 Shortly before the president start ed speaking, news of the further suc- cesses of American, British and French offensives on the western front reached the meeting at the Metropolitan Opera house and this gave dramatic point to MT. Wilson's peroration-that "peace drives" can be effectively neutralized and silen- ced only by showing that every vic tory of the nations associated against Germany brings the nations nearer the sort of peace which will bring se- curity and reassurance to all peoples and make the recurrence of another such struggle of pitiless force and bloodshed forever impossible and that nothing else can.'
 Germany is constantly intimating the "terms" she will accept; and al- ways finds that the world does not want terms" declared the president.
 "It wishes the final triumps of justice and fair dealihg."

ALL SET FOR
 LIBERTY LOAN
 DRIVE TO-DAY All Over Subscriptions Will Be Allotted by the U. s.
 Treasury. DRIVE LAUNCHED BY PRESIDENT WILSON Soldiers In Training Camps Released For Short Per iods to Assist in oWrk.
By Associated Press.

Washington, D. C.. Sept. 27.-All over subscriptions to the Fourth Lib erty Loan will be allotted by the treas ury department.
 This announcement was made to- night on the eve of the opening of the three weeks campaign in which the American people will be asked to sub scrhe not less than $6.O00.0O0, ,00O-- the greatest war loan in the history of nations.
 The drive was formally launched tonight by President Wilson in an ad- dress to Liberty Loan workers in New York City.
 In Chicago today Secretary Daniels spoke to the American Bankers Asso- citation and Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board, discussed the loan to- night in an address to the Philadel- phia Chamber of Commerce.
 Thousands of soldiers will partici- pate in Liberty Loan demonstrations throughout the campaign.
 The dar department, it was an nounced, has issued an order releasing soldiers from training camps for short periods that they may aid in adver- Using the loan, and the navy depart ment has asked it's personnel to CO., operate as fully as possible with the Liberty Loan campaign.
 One of the new features of this carxpaign will be the use of the indus trial honor pennant
 When 75 per cent of the total num- Der of persons on an industry's pay roll has bought bonds the industry will be permitted to fly an honor pen nant
 Altho the campaign does not open officially until tomorrow, telegrams received tonight at the treasury indi- cated that sales were being made in some parts of the country.

Therefore. directly and formally the American government has nothing to do with the proposal made to the French general commanding the al lies in Macedonia.
 Actually however, the Bulgarian af- fair must Ie considered as an impor- tant phase of the world war situa- tion, so the announcement from Paris that not only the entente govern ments, but the United States must be consulted before Bulgarian proposals are considered, was not surprising.
 Can Quit on Our Terms.
 If the Buigarians really are ready to quit the war on the entente's terms there is little doubt that her offers will be entertained.
 There will be no "round table" peace discussions, however, with op- portunities for secret German mach nations to confuse the issue and bring the situation as it was hoped to creat through the recent proposal frof Austria.
 If Bulgaria can meet the test of sincerity the time has come when she may find safety in dropping out of the alliance with the central powers.
