Some subscription is expected in HoI-
land and Switzerland. 1t is said here
that although German banks made
every effort to secure participation in
the loan, they have been vigorously eX-
cluded, as Japan found no difficulty
in securing the amount in New York
and London.
KOTetiyo Takashi. special Japanese
financial commissioner, informed the
Associated Press today that the S150.-
100000 would suffice for Japan's re-
quirements for a year or a year and
a half. at the expiration of which time
in his opinion. the war would be over.
Three New York banks are concerned

despite the hitch in the negotiations
Russia would very shortly obtain an
other loan in France. The Japanese
loan is expected to be issued next
week.

A singular fact is that the young wo-
mans mother who lay in an adjoining
room, began to show signs of the ap-
proach OF death soon after the death
of her daughter. Like her daughter. the
mother also is greatly emaciated and
the physicians at the hospital say that
her low vitality is due principally to

A specialist in bypnotiSm and psych-
olOgy who investigated the ease has
made public his conclusion that the
