American eagerness 10 subscribe for the
new British war loan is explained by a
contemporary by the fact that these Sc
curities, offered at 49, run three years,
draw Ss4 per cent. and are not subject to
taxation. On the other hand, the British
treasury was willing to allot one-half OF
the issue. or s25ooAOOO. of the bonds to
American bidders for the reason that thas
was the easiest and most natural way OF
securing gold TO relieve the British mar
ket and avoid an abnormal discount rate.
II was purely a business transaction, on
both sides. The Americans desired safe
securities Offering fair rate of interest.
and the British wanted gold for their war.

One of the silliest stories that the Hong

is one which alleges that the Filipino
jupta had received with great pleasure
the news of Bryan's nomination and
would proceed 10 raise a fund of $4,000, 600
for the Democratic campaign. This
fund.- says the story. would be regu-
lated by the pledgl that they (the MEM
bers of the junta). would receive from
Mr. Bryan in regard to the disposition of
the Philippines" The yarn goes on to
say that there are indications that an I'M

An American. DR.. Knopf, recently won
the prize for the best essay on the treat
ment of consumption, in a Berlin compe-
tition. The Philadelphia Ledger learns
that the essay was not on the cure of the
disease, but wholly a plea for its preven-
ton by means of right living, the proper
course OF which is pointed out in the pa
per. This says the Ledger, sis the
common sense way to treat the subject,
since an ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure. but it VIII not be so popu-
lar with patients. They want to live as
they please and have the doctors cure
them when they get sick as the result of
their own imprudence." That. indeed. is
the way of human nature.
