LONDON, March 3.-The discovery of
immense frauds on the Bank of England
causes the greatest excitement in financial
circles. 1t is impossible to state the amount
or extent of the forgeries, as everything is
involved in mystery. The Bank OF Eng
land cautions the public against negotiating
certain 500 and 1910 U. 3. bonds, sggre-
eating $4,000. 1t is thought the forgeries
were perpetrated By ring of American
swindlers. The forgeries were discovered
by the Rothschilds noticing in some bills a
difference in the color of the ink used. The
reward for the forgers is increased to $500
pounds.

on the Bank of England reach a million
dollars.

Julian Goldsmid put the question of which
be gave notice last week in regard to the
excess of the Geneva award over the ac-
tual losses sustained by the United States,

amount. The tribunal had under the
terms of the treaty of Washington choice
of two methods of payment; one, the reim-
bursemeLt of individual losses, and the
cided to adopt the latter method. following
could not go behind that decision.
The explanation was received with
cheers.
