VICTORY LOAN TO
OPEN APRIL q
AND END MAY 10
Secretary Glass Announces
Dates for Next Big Measure
to Raise Funds for U. S.
Part in War.

WASHINGTON, March 13-The vic
tory liberty loan campaign will open
Monday, April 81, and close three weeks
later-Saturday, May 10. Secretary
Glass announced the dates last night
together with the fact hat short term
notes maturing in not over five years
would be issued instead of longer term
bonds, The amount OF notes to be
offered was not disclosed, but 1t has
been generally understood that the loan
would be for a minimum Of S., 900, 00O,-
900 with the treasury reserving the
right to accept all neutrality-suspicious..
Mr.. Glass said the interest rate on
the notes and the amounts to be eX-
empted from taxation would not be
determined until "A week or two before
the campaign as they would be based
upon financial conditions at that time.
II was intimated, however, that the
notes might bear interest in excess Of
4 Ia per cent, the interest rate On
the third and fourth loans.
After studying financial conditions
in all parts Of the country said Mr..
Glass, Il have determined that the
interests Of the United States will
be best served at this time by the liz
suance Of short term notes rather than
of longer term bonds which would have
to bear the limited rate Of interest
Of 4 IA per cent.

SWEDISH PLAN Of
KAISER BLOCKED
Advices Reveal William Antic-
ipated Asylum Months Be-
fore War Ended.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-William
H~ohenzollern, two months before the
armistice was signed, planned an asy-
lum in Sweden, but was prevented from
going to that country by the Swedish
government, diplomatic advices made
public today disclose.
The former kaiser's plans had reached
the point, the advices said, where a
deal was virtually closed for him to
rept Castle Stora Sundby, situated on
one of the large lakes in the center
of Sweden, about four hours run by
train from Stockholm. The castle is
owned by old friends, Prince and Prin-
cess Wedel.
Preparations for the reception of the
former kaiser are said to have gone
so far hat vast sums were spent in
putting the castle in repair and COM
ment was critical in the vicinity be-
cause of the scarcity and cost of ma
terials in Sweden at the time.
When the Swedish government
learned OF the purpose to which the
castle waste be put, representations
were made and William Hohenzollern
changed his plans, with the result that
in a few weeks he fled to another cas-
tie in Holland,

PRIEST BLAMES T|SZA FOR
KILLING WHICH LED TO WAR

BERNE, March iS.-Charges that the
assassination OF A%rchduke Francis Fer
dlnand and his wife at Saraievo on
Juno rs, 1914, was the result of a de-
liberate plot led by the late Count
Tisza, former Hungarian premier, are
made in a pamphlet written by a priest
who was the spiritual adviser of the
Duchess OF Hohenberg, wife Of the
archduke, according TO a Vienna dis
patch to the Frankfort Gazette,
The pamphlet, entitled the Sarajevo
murder and Count Tisza's responsibility
for the world war" Is said to have
made a profound impression in Aus
tria.
II Is declared Francis Ferdinand re-
peatedly refused to go to Sarajevo and
II was only an appeal TO his courage
that induced him to make the trip,
THE most elementary precautions
were omitted" 1t is stated by the
priest. He was simply led into a trap
prepared by the court at Vienna and
by the Hungarian aristocracy, headed
by Count Tisza."
The general idea of the pamphlet Is
that Magyar m%agnRtes, with consent
Of the Vienna court, wished to get rid

j. s. MAY REFUSE
TO TAKE GERMAN
SHIPS IN CHILE
Hurley Says Condition of VeS-
sells Allotted to America by
Allies Will Determine Final
Action in Matter.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The
American government may not accept
the 100, 900 or more tons of German
shipping in Chilean waters allocated
to 1t by the allied shipping commits
sion, Chairman Hurley, of the ship
ping board, says final action will de-
pend upon both the condition Of the
grant n the ships.
Mr., Hurley explained that the origi-
nal proposal, made when he was in
Europe, was for the United States to
take over the ships and use them until
the peace treaty was signed when title
to them would be determined. This
offer was refused by Mr.. Hurley, who
believed that their use for so short
a period would not Justify the board
in standing the expense of the repairs.
Information that the ships finally
had been allocated to this country has
just been received at the state depart
ment, Mr.. Hurley Immediately ordered
an examination of the vessels to de-
termine the extent of repairs that would
have to be made. Since the vessels
have been tied up for more than four
years, most officials believe hat their
engines are in very bad shape and that
their hulls also have been more or
less damaged.
The exact conditions under which the
ships have been allocated to this coun-
try have not yet been transmitted to
the shipping board. II these should
provide for the use of the vessels only
until peace Is proclaimed, some of
ficials said they would not be acceptable
as it would require several months TO
put the craft into commission.
Three hundred thousand tons OF Ger
MAJ transatlantic shipping now in
German ports have been allocated to
the United States, Most of the ships
are in good shape and they will be
gotten out as soon as the American
crews can be assembled and sent to
Germany, German ships which were laid
up IN Peru and Uruguay were char
tered some time ago by the United
States and are now in operation.

ing the subject and the arguments on
both sides thoroughly. When the news
came over to the house the last night
of the session that so senators had
signed. a round robin against it, l said
that the league of peace could not he
ratified, because it takes two-thirds %

States. will be issued both in registered
and coupon form, and the coupon notes
will be in final form and will have
attached the interest coupons cover
ing the entire life Of the notes. | am
hopeful that the notes in final en-
graved form will be ready for delivery
by the opening Of the campaign on
II am led to adopt the plan Of is
suing short term notes rather than
long term bonds largely because of
the fact that | believe that a short
term issue will maintain n price at
about par after the campaign is con-
cluded far more readily than would
be n longer term issue.
Il have not yet reached a conclu-
sion as to the rate Of interest and ex-
emptions from taxation which those
notes will bear because this decision
must be based on existing conditions
Immediately prior to the opening of
the campaign.
Il take this opportunity to repeat
what | have already stated, that It Is
the intention of the treasury depart
ment TO carry on the same kind Of
intensive campaign for distribution as
heretofore. 1t would be a most unfor-
tunate occurrence II the people of the
United States failed to take these notes,
thus placing the burden Of subsCrlp-
tions Of the banks. The business Of
the country looks to the banking syS-
TEN for credit wherewith to carry on
its operations, and II this credit Is alb
sorbed to a large extent by the pur-
chase of government securities, there
will boz many limitations placed upon
the supply of credit for business pur-
poses, Our merchants ana manufac-
turers need ample credit for setting
the wheels Of industry In motion for
peace-time production and distribution
and the wage Garner Is directly inter
ested In seeing that these wheels are
kept moving at a normal rate In order
that fun employment at good wages
may continue and where readjustment
conditions have necessitated a slow
ing down Of industry, 1t Is vitality Inn
portant hat activity be resumed and
labor re-employed at the earliest posi-
BILE moment,
Il therefore ask the American people
once again to give their support to
their government In order that this
great loan may be made an overwhelm-
Ing success by the widest distribution.

TIE-UP AT
new YORK SERIOUS

NEW YORK, March 13.-The ham
pered movement of coal barges and
the congestion Of freight on the piers
became more serious today as the
striking harbor workers and the en-
ploying boat owners continued in dead
lock over the terms of a settlement Of
their controversy over wages and hours
of labor.
The demoraliZed conditions Of the coal
barge service has resulted in so dimin-
ishing the supply Of steam coal in the
city that transit companies have APP
pealed to the public service commission
and the naval authorities for aid. A
complete hut down of service on the
elevated and subway lines of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit company was
predicted today by Frank Hedley, gen.
eral manager Of the company when
the four days supply on hand is ex-
hausted. Similar conditions are said
to exist in Brooklyn and manufactur-
ing plants throughout the city are be-
ginning to feel the pinch Of the coal
supply shortage.
