Rockefeller and his brother, Frank. The billionaire oil king announced that he would at tend his brother's funeral st Cleve land. It took the reaper to settle the grim, silent hatred that existed, for what reasons themselves only know, between the two brothers for nearly a score of years. v "John D. Rockefeller and Will lain Rockefeller will attend the funeral ol their brother, Frank, in Cleveland," was the laconic official statement from Rockefeller's Standard Oil of fices here today. Neither friends, associates, mutual business Interests nor family ties succeeded in breaking down the mys terious wsll between the two men. For seventeen " yesrs they neither spoke, wrote nor referred to ea'h other. They were chums in boyhood. They fought their esrly business bat tles side by side. They shsred their first successes as they shared their childhood poverty. They were un usually close as brothers. The break came In 1900. In thst rear Frank announced that he had left the Standard Oil cpmpany, never to return, and that he had taken a vow never again to speak to his brother. The quarrel was said to have been over business affairs. Ties Itself In s Knot How fishes get off the book Is slwsy Interesting, for the mast talked of fish Is the fish that got sway.

At the same time, the allied high ' commissions will probably be here. 8uch men as Arthur J. Balfour; for mer Premier Vlvlanl of French and I other -notables, will offer suggestions, make known the peace terms of the allies and clinch the co-operation of this government. The senste 4s expected to place sn unwavering approval upon the seven billion dollar war bond Issue bill by tomorrow or Wednesdsy. With the bond Issue out of the way both houses will consider taxa tion problems. Suggestions tor rais ing nearly $2,000,000,000, about hair the first year's wsr expenses, by sdded taxes, are formally before con gress today. The selective conscription bill Is now before the senate military com mittee, while,' other war-time bills, like espionage, wooden shipbuilding plans and finance measures are due for early action. The federal shipbuilding board Is to organise a $50,000,000 corporation today to build and operate the one thousand wooden ships. The selective draft measure now seems likely to pass, though Presi dent Wilson may have to exert fur ther pressure upon the measure. Overshadowing the congress' course Insofar as the public Imagination Is concerned, is the visit of the silled high commission England's and Prance's noted officials, braving the perils of the deep and possibly the fat of Kitchener, that they may counsel with their newest war allies, America. Aside from co-operative questions, the issue of peace terms I vital for them. The allies know each other's terms, and they know the broad principles of President Wilson's terms. But these views doubtless will be co-ordinated In a general agreement as to when America and her allies shall regard Prusslsnlsm as obliterated for all time. Mere discussion of such terms does not mean a peace move. In fact, of flttlalt say the nation Is In this war to the last dregs and discourages any talk that peace Is on the horlson, ' The nation Is building a war struc ture to last at least three years, they emphasize always.
