War Loan Report

Each presented cheerful picture of
the condition of the branches of gov
eminent over which they preside. The
chancellor's statement on the sub
|seription to the largest war loan ever
fioated was eagerly awaited. He an
nounced that the loan had been over
subscribed, but did not mention the
amount. The chancellor said there
were nearly 100000 applications for
the bonds. a great number of them for
small amounts, and added that the
small subscribers would be given
preference in the allotment.
Mr.. Lloyd George estimated that A.

worth of good foreign securities were
held in Great Britain at the beginning
of the war while the assets of the
country were estimated at another
l., 10000, 100000 pounds (s65, 1000, 000, 000)
and that the country's credit was
nearly $4,000, o00,0 900 pounds ($90,000,-
oo0.000). Mr.. Churchills most per-
sistent critic, Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford. retired, wanted explana-
|tions of the recent naval management,
but Mr.. Churchill declined to give
these on the ground that the time
would not be ripe until all the factors
could be discussed.
1t is a noteworthy fact that a great
majority Of the recent criticisms OF
the government have come from Lib
Ieral and Labor members of the House.
The important Liberal newspapers
have suggested that It would be for
1.-THE interest of the people for Parlia-
ment to remain in almost continuous
|r7ession SO that the government could
1 be called upon for frequent explana
4 tions as to the conduct of the war.
The decision to have the House Of
Lords re-convene earlier than the
House of Commons. which is a very
|unusual action. was made at the re-
quest of Lord Curzon, who said that
an adjournment until February was
altogether too long.

Ye justly object to Germanys taking
counter measures and carrying the war

But we could not object to her exacting

Mr. Taft sees little danger of the pol

with a European nation soon, at least,
one reason being that the present strug-

therefore unlikely to begin new hostili-

Were we to abandon the doctrine, he
continued, land thus in effect notify the
European governments that so far as
our remonstrance or intsrposition was
concerned they might take possession of
Santo Domingo or Haiti or of any of the

fore the Sociological Section of the
meeting include "The Family and Tu-
bereulOsis taking up questions of
childhood infection, prenatal and early
care of children, and those dealing with
the school child; the difficult problem
of what to do with cases discharged
from tuberculosis sanatoria, with re-
ports of investigations which will be
the basis for interesting experiments
to be tried in New York and Phila.
delphia in the employment of eonsump-
tives in the white goods trades; and
the relation of public health problems,
both state and municipal to tubereulo-
sis.
Among the most interesting papers
before the Pathological Section will be
several significant reports dealing with
the most recent experiments in attempts
to immunize cattle against tubereulo.
sis. The Clinical Section of the As
ISOLATION will discuss some Of the latest
methods Of the treatment of tuberculo-
