Chicago Bankers Slowly Com
ing to Support of Higher Rate
for Next Liberty Loan.
MANY REASONS OFFERED

Valor of Outstanding Bonds
' and Attrai-t Investors.
BY FRANK M. HCSTOX.
CHICAGO. IIL. Jan. 20. Chicago
bankers are slowly coming to the- sup
port of a S jr cent live-year liberty
loan as the best solution of the Tress
urj'i financial problem In the present
market. The Government has to rats
f .004.)4.S00 through bonds by June
3. There has been mut-h speculation
ever the rate of Interest on the next
In I ted State war loan.
It has been iM'rttd that i IS per
rent rat Is necessary tn order to sell
the bonds anl deal fairly with sub
scriber to the flrt Issue. It Is quite
probable the markit fcr liberty bonds
already has discounted the next Issue
and the answer to the rates in the next
loan possibly may be fount In the mar
ket for tbe second liberty bonds at the
moment. The second ts. this term be-In-
used to dtsttngui . the last Isaue
from the conversion 4s. a the price of
9 ar practically on a 4 " pr cent
basts. These bond sold at i' 12 Satur
day and closed at .!. The low price
touched so far Is Js.lv.
Balk of Llaaldattoa Over,
ft would reem. therefore, that ths
bulk of the liquidation In these bonda
la over and that the next war loan
rnnM be brought out it l IS basis. If
fiot too large, without a concession In
price under par. providing other con
unions, such as maturity, taxability
and so on. are the t-ame as the terms of
the second ts. The Liberty Js are
Hint; close to a 3.5)17 per rent basts.
If the next war loan were brought out
st par on a J- per cent there would
still be a comfortable margin to assure
the success of the loan, providing It
was tjx exempt, as was ths first lib
erty loan and had the same maturity.
There Is a distinct advantage, bow
ever. In making the next liberty loan
I 14 short maturity. It would enable
the country to find a proper level for
the permanent financing, which Is Im
possible undT present conditions. A
five-year 4 per cent bond, tax exempt
except as to Income, as provided In the
ond liberty loan, would deal fairly
with the Investor and would be at
tractive as an Investment and In con
formity with the going ratea of Interest
for such Investments, and It would not
Mnd the government to the higher rate
for a long period of time.
oeh Uss Weald Stabilise Others.
It la believed by Investment bankers
that such a loan would tend to stabilise
the market value of outstanding bonds,
which would be sought by permanent
Investors and thus create a larger de
mand for them.
Another advantage of the five-year
S per rent bonds would be that It
would not be brought In competition
with outstanding- loan time, htgh-grsdrj
Investment. The Investment situation,
necessarily, will bo compelled. If It has
not already done so. to ailjuat Itself to
war conditions. These conditions nat
rally are reflected In the money mar
The effort has been through our Fed
oral reserve system to stabilise Interest
rates and keep them as nearly uniform
as possible and thie should have
similar effect on Investment yield. The
continuous advancements In the rate o
interest on liberty bonds, with the
accessary conversions of previous
issues, baa a tendency to disturb In
vestment conditions as they relate to
outstanding high-grade bonds.

It Is not alone the novelty in the
presentation of "On Trial." at the
Raker this week, that appeals most slid
makes lor such excellent entertain
ment. It Isn't Just the story, cither,
although that is of tremendous Inter
est, romantic, threaded with mystery
and absorbing in theme.
Rather It Is a combination a happy
combination of the story and the
unique way in which it is unfolded.
Old Methods Vsed New Way.
There hare - been revolving stages
snd other clever devices for quick
shifting of scenery, hut they bave
heretofore been identified mainly with
plays wherein the time element snd
rspidlty of plot development counted.
In "On Trial' the Idea is used in an
altogether different way.
Two huge stages exchange places
with ejeh other In rapid sucessinn ay
the play progresses. One stage is set
always and unchanged, as the court
room. The Jurors are in the box. the
Judge on his bench, a self-con fessed
murderer sits prisoner and his court
appointed lawyer and the prosccutm?
attorney wage a legal battle before the
bar of Justice. As each witness is
called to tbe chair and sworn and be
gins his or her testimony the lights
begin to fade softly and then the stacre
is plunged In total darkness. The
voice of the witness gradually dies
away, a swift swirl of wheels rumbling
is borne across the darkness as the
new scene Is rushed Into place, the
Ights flare up and the scene of which
the witness is telling transpires be
fore the audience.
' Courtroom ceee Realistic.
All the tedious details of the actual
rslimony. all the bickerings and chal-
englngs of the lawyers are saved for
he next scene, when we have whirled
back to us the courtroom, with the
witness Just finishing, apparently, the
enactment of the scene we have Just
looked upon.
It is a brilliant idea of visualising
he testimony, and everyone of us thus
becomes a self-appointed Juror and
Its In judgment at the tria'.
The story Is intensely dramatic. It
tells of a murder, and finds the mur
derer. Then as witness after witness
dds his or her bit, a chain of circum-
tantial evidence is woven about the
prisoner, which makes his motive rob
bers'. He will not speak in his own be
half, and even when his little daugh
ter adds her testimony his reserve re
mains unbroken. Finally, in the last
big act, his wife comes to the stand
and saves her husband by disclosures
that make the unwritten law a mo
tive for the crime.
Walter Gilbert Gets Credit.
The play is splendidly presented and
quite as much credit goes to Walter
Gilbert, stage director, and to Walter
Siegfried, his assistant, as to the art
Ists. Kdward Kverett Horton gives us
one of his best and most forceful pieces
or dramatic acting. His scene with
Ruth Gates, as his wife, in which these
two alone parry thrust for thrust, he
suspicious and accusing and she. guilty
and Oghtlng to allay his suspicions,
makes one or the strongest and most
convincing scenes ever witnessed on
the Baker boards.
Miss Gates Is superb tn the role, pic
turesquely colorful, and dominated by
a nne repressed emotion that never
spills over. Her work, and Mr. Horton"s
in this scene, seems constantly a men
tal process, as if they actually battled
wits, not words.
Whole Com pa ay Good.
A clever little child. Olga Levit, has
the roie or their daughter.
Two fine pieces of work are the
prosecuting attorney, forceful in the
keeping of Smith Davies, and George
R. Taylor's excellent counsel for the
defense. Betty Barmicoat qualifies as
Jealous wife, and rJugnne Shake
speare contributes a splendid dramatic
moment as a trapped thief. James
Guy-Usher haa a big role and one he
plays In fine fettle, as the villain. A
hugely augmented cast furnishes
other support. "On Trial" is well
worth while.
Fresh troubles are reported to have
broken out throughout Austria. Gen
eral strikes have taken place, and in
Vienna and Neustadt all the war manu
facturing plants are reported to have
been closed. In these towns 100,000
men are said to have quit their Jobs.
The movement is political and eco
nomic and has as its basis the desire
for peace. Anti-Germanism Is declared I
to be prevalent throughout the coun
try. -
On the western front in France and
Belgium the military operations ap
parently are Increasing all along the
line, as compared with those of the
past few weeks, when little or no fight
ing, except artillery duels and minor
raids, was carried out.
Entente allied warships have bom
barded Germany's submarine base at
Osteud. on the northern Belgian Coast,
while around Ypres. between Lens and
St, Quentln, on the Chemin Des Dames,
on the St. Mihiel sector and north of
the Khlne-Marne Canal, there has been
a notable increase in tho operations
by the Infantry. The probabilities are
with the return of good weather the
expected big battles may take place.
One Indication of the probable early
commencement of fighting is the re
sumption of serial activity on a large
scale, especially on the French front.
Saturday the French airmen had a
good day operating Hgatnst the Teu
tone, sending down eight enemy ma
chines in fights in tho air.
