TO note that the crisp loan, which was

covered 1t is surely beyond doubt
that no more perfect juvenile ball is
ever given elsewhere.

BOURSE SEMl.PARALYZED
French Finance Minister Crit
cised for Planning Loan.
IBy Cable % The Tribune. J


Paris. Jan. 1.-THE Bourse remains
in a semi paralyzed condition, specula-
tors and investors holding aloof. and
business is restricted to purely profess
sional transactions. Prices are nominal
and the trend OF feeling is gloomy, in
view OF the tension between Rumania
and Bulgaria.
The French Minister of Finance has
been severely criticised by the public
for his determination TO issue new
January treasury bond loan of s2O,0OO,-
600. at six months redemption, at an
increased rate Of 3i2 per cent, instead
Of as hitherto at rates Of from "a To
8 per cent. These treasury loans are
usually made every January TO meet
the current but unvoted needs of an
annual national budget.
Public criticism blames the minister
for making the issue at the present I'M
precedcnted high rate Of 3l2 per cent
but expert financiers and bankers de-
fend the minister's action by showing
that he is not the arbiter of rates OF
national credit, but is obliged to come
into the market like any private Dor
rover and accept the ruling prices Tor

NEW SUCCESS FOR REJANE
Actress Appears in "Alsace,' a
Powerful Melodrama.
fBy Gable TO The Tribune. ]

Paris. Jan. 11.--Mme. Rejane won one
Of the most brilliant triumphs in her
career last night as an Alsatian-French
mother in a patriotic melodrama in
three acts, "Alsace," by CASTOR Leroux
and Lucien Camille. which was pro-
duced last night at the Theatre RGjane
The action turns on the conflicting
emotions Of a young Alsatian who Is
French at heart, but who is married to
a German woman whom he really loves.
The conflict becomes heartrendine
during the mobilization for war be-
tween France and Germany when the
young patriot, who is compelled to join
his colore in German regiment, shouts
"Vive la Franco" when those about
him cry Mort aux Francais!" The lad
who is shot by the Infatuated Germans,
dies in his mothers arms, who, i'm the
presence of her sons German wife. ex-
claims, AT last he belongs TO me-"
The play is splendidly staged and
surpasses anything ever yet seen in
Paris as a realistic and homeIlke pict-
ure of Alsatian life. 1t is far better
even than was done in the famous
'L'Ami Fritz
At the end of the first act, as the
French family clandestinely chant the
French national air, La Marseilaise"
in their Alsdtian homestead. hurri-
cane Of patriotic applause is aroused.
As a vibrating melodrama Of Gallo
patriotism "Alsace" Is a great success.

Christiania. Dec. 31.--There has been a
revival Of the agitation in Norway against
the importation of American meat, large
~ based on an article appearing in local
paper from its Chicago correspondent,
which conveyed the impression that Nor
way was being used as a dumping ground
for the meat Of horses and diseased ami
mails which could not be sold elsewhere.
The American Minister who on pre-
vious occasions has obtained fair treat
ment for American meat by satisfying
the Norwegian authorities that 1t was Of
good quality and carefully inspected, has
made a public statement in which he
points out that the American authorities
do not inspect stamp or certify horse
meat, and that the article complained of

stamp and certificate. against which there
has never been any complaint.
The chief inspector Of meats for Nor
