STORIES OF THE STREET.

She was caught with the book in her
possession, but as the proprietors Of the
store recovered IL, and she had two small
children, it was determined to relent in
this case, and not prosecute her, under
the circumstances.
The capture of the thief had made
little sensation at the book counter of the
department store, but 1t was not until
long after it was settled down again that
the floor walker, who had the book,
glanced at it to observe the title.
1t was "The Woman That's Good"
This is being told at the expense of Con-

GETS FIVE MILLION
UNITED STATES IS ALLOTTED
HALF OF BRITAIN's WAR LOAN.

HALF OF BRITAIN'S WAR LOAN
LONDON, Aug. I'm the house of
commons today, Mr.. Benjamin Louis
Cohen, conservative member for the east
division of Islington, asked the chancel-
lor OF the eXchequer, Sir MichaeIs Hicks
Beach, the reason of the early closing
of subscriptions for exchequer bonds. The
chancellor said the lists were closed as
soon as the bonds had been subscribed
Tor. He had received an offer from an
Anglo-American house to place half the
issue in America on the same conditions
as issued here. This, he added, assured
the success Of the loan. But there was
another reason. Last Thursday the re-
serve OF the bank Of England stood at
the lowest point for years, and he was
advised that great relief might be af-
forded here by the movement of gold
from the United States, If a large part
of this loan (910,O6O,OO0) was taken
there.
In substance, the chancellor Of the ex-
chequer said
When 1 made the usual confidential
inquiries to ascertain whether the pro-
posed terms were likely to be attractive
1 received such very moderate encour-
agement that accepted an offer already
made to me by leading Anglo-Ameri-
can house in London to place half the
issue in the United States On the terms
had decided to offer it here This
part of the issue was already taken when
the loan was issued in Great Britain
In conclusion, the chancellor Of the ex-
ehequer said:
Il regret any disappointment caused
by the early closing of the lists, but
hope it may to some extent be mitigated
by consideration of the very important
points l have just mentioned"
The allotment of such a large portion
Of the war loan in America has not been
we'll received in many quarters The
Daily Chronicle, in its financial article,
says:
THE people are so engaged that they
have not stopped to consider to what
humiliation we have come to In being
forced to appeal to foreign money mark
cts
The Daily Telegraph says: ''The result
Of placing the bonds at high premium
is that the Americans may Immediately
sell them back and so defeat the object
our bankers have in view, but there is
also evidence that the Americans wish to
invest in high class securities"
