TWO PLANS FOR
 4 PEACE LEAGUE
ORGANIZATION OF NATIONS AP- PARENTLY HAS FIRST coNsiD-
 ERAT1oN AT CONFERENCE.

Paris. = With the resumption of the meetings preliminary 10 the peace conference, it is apparent the move ment to create a league of nations is being carried on by two forces hay ing the same object, but differing as to the means for making eIeetive the decisions of the proposed world society. One of these represents the contention that the decisions of the league must be backed by it's com bined physical forces while the other represents the view is findings can be enforced without the aid of com mon world police force
 Diplomats watching the movement of the two ideas as they come Into being before the conference seem i'm pressed with the view that both are moving toward q common ground which, for example, might provide that the nations could reserve for each individual case their decision whether they would utilize armed force or avail themselves of other means.
 There is reason 10 believe such an arrangement would meet with the support of some of the European statesmen and there is nothing to in- dieate it would be rejected by the American representatives.

ONE MORE LOAN
 SAYS SECRETARY
VICTORY BOND DRIVE PROBA- ELY WILL BE LAST THREE
 WEEKS IN APRIL.
NOT OVER s6,000,00O,00
After Next Loan Government Will Issue Bonds, But They Will Be Marketed Through Banks and
 Other Financial Institutions.

Washington. = Only one more big war drive is planned by the Treas ury Department, Secretary Glass said here. This will be the victory loan to be fioated probably the last three weeks in April. The amount will not be more than S6.000, 900, 900 and may be S5060,000, GOO.
 ''I expect the victory liberty loan 10 be the last intensive campaign for the sale of government bonds" said MT Glass Reports that there would be two more issues this year, aggregating s12,000.000. 900, are en- tirely without foundation not only as to amount, but also as regards the number of campaigns"
 More bonds probably will be is sued by the government even after the next campaign, but it is planned to market these quietly through banks and other financial institu-t tions, without the usual campaign of advertising and soliciting. The amount of securities to be sold in this manner will not be determined for months, until the treasury gets more definite idea of the volume of expenses growing out of liquidat- ing of war contracts. the allies needs for future loans and the de- mands arising from continuing the policy of making loans to railroads, financing the next wheat crop, con tinuing shipbuilding and other inter- nal obligations.
