Following the revolution, and despite
the fact that the authority of the new
republic has not been generally accepted,
the American group Joined with the other
groups in making to the provisional gov
eminent substantial advances to enable
1t more firmly to establish It's authority
and to return to normal conditions
throughout the country
Meanwhile there had been in negotla-
ton during a period of many months a
loan agreement which. in its general
terms, appeared last month to meet the
approval OF the six governments, OF their
banking groups and the Chinese govern
ment, and to be ready for signature.
These terms were intended to cover
two points. The first was to enable the
Chinese government to reorganize its adj
ministration on an effective modern basis,
to pay of its large outstanding debts and
to build up Chinese credit. The second
was to protect the interests of American
and European investors.
"As announced in the statement given
to the press, the present administration
at Washington. with a desire to be OF
assistance to China and to promote Amer
lean interests in the far east, has de-
cided that these purposes may better be
served by the adoption of different and
Independent policy"

AMERICAN BANKERS
DROP CHINESE LOAN
Announcement Follows Con-
ference at Office of J. P.
Morgan & Co.

NEW YORK, March 20.-As a result
of the statement by President Wilson
that his administration would not request
the American bankers heretofore interest
ed in the "six-power' loan to China to
continue to seek their share, the four
banking houses in the so-called Amer
lean group have announced their entire
withdrawal from the negotiations.
The announcement followed a confer
ence of the banking interests concerned
at the offices Of j. P. Morgan & Co. In
concluding their statement, which re-
views in considerable detail the negetia-
tions thus begun under the Taft admin
istration, the bankers say:
"As- the American group had been
ready to serve the administration in
the past, irrespective OF the heavy risks
involved, SO it was disposed to serve the
present administration IL requested. But
deferring to the policy now declared. the
group has withdrawn entirely from the
Chinese loan negotiations and has so

Desired by Government.
Beginning with their explanation OF
how the American banking interests be-
came interested In the negotiations, the
statement says:
1.-THE American group. consisting Of j.
p. Morgan & Co.. Kuhn. Loeb & Co.,
the First National Bank and the Ma
tional City Bank, was formed in the
spring of 1909 upon the expressed desire
of the Department OF State that a finan-

This group thus became interested in
Chinese loan matters, not primarily FOR
its own profit, but for purposes indi-

Knox. The American cooperation with

powers enabled the United States to ex-

ney General as being along the east bank
of Rock creek, south of the line of K

cordng to the line of the water front, to

All these tracts Of land are included in

referred to Col. Langfitt for investigation
and report. In his report Col. Langftt
said that the fill in question had been
made largely by dumping materials from
excavations. ashes. ETC., without cost to
the owners, who. he said. in some cases
had received compensation for the privi-
lege of dumping. In consequence Col.

TWO NOTED AUTHORITIES ON ALFALFA

growing of alfalfa, the Hon. A. P.
Grout of Winchester, ILL.,, one of the
largest alfalfa growers in the state,
has this to say:
MY success at first in growing al
falfa was not startling, but on the
contrary I met with many discourage
ments Had it not been for the dod-
dies, (sheep and hogs) that seemed SO
fond of it, and thrived SO well on the
small quantities l was able to furnish
them, it is doubtful if l would have
kept up the struggle. A knowledge
iof its wonderful feeding value gained
by experience was the incentive that
urged me on.

ience, and believe in the experience
OF every alfalfa grower. when just az
