STATEMENT

William R. Compton. Federal Dr.
rector of War Loans for the Eighth
Federal Reserve District, is in re-
ceipt of message from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in connection
with the rumOrS which were circu-
la ted TO the effect that there would
be no Fifth Liberty Loan, or Victory
Loan, as it was termed The Sec
retary of the Treasury has definitely
advised him that the Victory Lib
erty Loan Campaign will begin not
later than April 21st. The require
ments of the Treasury are impera-
tive and cannot be financed without
such a campaign
The form and terms of the securi-
ties to be issued remain to be deter
mined. Whether they be bonds or
notes, it is absolutely essential that
the widest possible measure of dis
tribution be realized This will
necessitate a campaign of the same
character as was conducted in the
past, through the existing Liberty
Loan Organizations. They have
pledged again their united support
in order that the Victory Liberty
Loan bonds or notes may be dis
tributed as widely as possible
among the American people.
Mr.. Compton has been further in-
formed several times that the Treas
ury expects to issue a form of Sc.
curity which will meet the require
ments of the situation and one
which will appeal both to the patri-
otism and commercial sentiments
of the country.
The financial needs of the Gov
ernment are great and must be
promptly provided. II must not be
said that the Liberty Loan Oreani-
cation of the Eighth Federal Reserve
District having responded so nobly
to the tasks imposed during the
previous campaigns, will allow per-
sonal or private interests or views
to interfere with the last obligation
which it will be called upon to per.
form, in so far as Liberty Loans are
concerned.

"Treachery," Write English
Editors of "Gross Outrage"
Some Calling for Damages

LONDON. June 23.-The sinking OF
the German fleet at Scapa Flow is re-
garded by most editorial writer's here
as a fresh example of German faith
lessness. There are many indignant
denunciations of the act of the Ger
mans, "A gross outrage" "A DELHI
crate violation of the armistice" and
'"rreachery" are some of the express
sions used by this mornings papers.
1t is contended that the carrying
out of Admiral Won Reuters order au-
tomatically annuls the armistice and
renders the adpiral liable to the
death penalty and all concerned to
long terms Of penal servitude. Some
newspapers demand that the allies ex-
act fullest penalties, including i'm
mediate payment of f70.000.000 gold,
as the value of the feet.
Several writer's. however, express
the opinion that notwithstanding the
Outrageous" act. the allies are there
by relieved of an awkward question
as to the disposal of the surrende cred
fleet. which owing to a divergence
of opinion between America and Great
Britain and the other European
powers might have developed into
differences dificult to compose Those
who advocate this view, neverthe-
less. regret that the ships were sunk
while the fleet was in Great Britain's
keeping. az she had favored the sink
ing of the ships in the face Of con-
tinental opinion.
