The first step toward financing the second in stallment or the liberty loan was tar ken by the treasury today with the offering of $;l0u,0it0.0o i' treasury certificates of indebtedness. It is the largest- block of such securities yet offered and the Interest rate, 3 13 per cent, is one-fourth of 1 per cent higher than the previous offerings. Subscriptions are to close on Aug. 7 and the certificates are payable on November 15, next, indicating that the second installment of the liberty Iran will have been floated in the first half of November. Although the treasury has remained silent on that subject, the general impression here is that the loan will be offered in September and that it will be a total of J3. 000,000,000. When the first liberty bonds were offered JS68.OOO.00O In certificates were outstanding, and when the fis cal year closed on June 3. a total if $626,000,000 of this amount had been redeemed through the method of accepting the certificates at par value in exchange for bonds. This method has been preferred by treas ury officials because It puts a large part of the cash Involved in bond payments actually Into the treasury long beforehand and minimises the strain on the money market; at the time of final settlement. Payments for the certificates will be made on August 9. two davs nft er the subscriptions close The of ferings will be made throuuh the re serve banks and in denominations of from $1000 to $100,000.

As a result many firms that heretofore- never went in for fighting ships are now building de stroyers. The present program ap pears to be based upon the belief that the United States should throw all Its forces against the submarine campaign between now nnd next spring. Reports that the navy Is preparing to make an offensive with major craft In -conjunction with the Hrltish fleet appear to have no foundation. Experienced naval officers are unan. imous in the belief that It would In- unwise to endanger the grand fleets of the allies toy exposing them to the great guns Germany has on the coast. The best Judgment In the navy Is that a number of minor craft, rein forced by ships of the monitor type, carrying great joins, should engage the shore batteries In an attempt to destroy the submarine base. It is probable that during the next few months an offensive will be- attempt, ed against the Belgian coast. MeUtodlHt. There will be no preaching service tomorrow. Hunday school at 10 a- tn.
