PAISH PLAN SOON
TO BE ANNOUNCED
British Financial Expert Says
Statement Is Likely To Be
Made This Week.

Sir George PaiSh, who came over
here as the special financial adviser
OF the British government, TO arrange
for a working agreement between Eng
land and the United States to replace
the broken down machinery of the in
ternational exchange market, and Basil
b. Blackett, Of the British Treasury,
who accompanied him, were visitors
to the financial district yesterday,
when they conferred with important
bankers
An attempt was made to obtain from
Sir George d definite statement with
reference 70 the plans being consld-
cred by himself and Mr.. Blackett on
the one hand and the Federal Reserve
Board and bankers here on the other.
He referred all inquirers, however, to
Chairman Strong, of the Federal Re
serve Bank and to Secretary McAdoo,
both of whom were uncommunicatlve.
He did say in answer 10 a question
as TO when a specific declaration would
be made about the Sl00,000,OOO credit
plan that he believed a statement would
be given out at Washington before the
end of the week. The plan is for the
Bank of England or the British gov
ernment to establish a credit against
which American bankers may draw eX-
change in payment for sales of Ameri-
can securities, which it is expected
will be made in large amounts when
the Stock Exchange reopens. The
credit is TO last for six months.
Yesterday demand sterling receded
again, 10 4.871s, and cables got down
to 1.877s. An international banking
/ house connected with the city note
/ syndicate was heavy seller of cables.
Marks declined to S65s for demand
and S6% for cables, while francs sold
at 5.14l5 and 513, respeo ..vely.
In exchange circles it was said many
stocks which had been sold and car
ried on the other side for some time
we're now being brought over here be-
cause of the relaxation in exchange
rates. A good deal of the buying
of sterling cables yesterday was
ascribed to preparations for the Lon
don Stock Exchange settlement

PRINCE OF WALES
GOES TO THE FRONT
Gets Warm Reception by
Allied Troops on Cross
ing Channel.
fRn Cahla 70 Ths Tribune. |

London, Nov. 1.-THE Prince of
Wales has gone to the front. He
crossed the Channel yesterday and had
magnificent reception by the troops
of the Allies who saw him disembark.
A trainload of wounded soldiers was
alongside the quay, and when the news
became known that his royal highness
had Joined the active forces there was
tremendous enthusiasm.
Several of the injured men were held
up to the windows OF carriages to see
him. and he shook hands with some
and spoke to others. The prince was
in khaki and seemed very ft and in
excellent spirits. When the war broke
out the prince, then attached TO the lst
Grenadier Guards, was exceptionally
keen on the route Of marches and other
features of a soldiers training. lie
was full of enthusiasm and confident
that he would get his chance of gong
on active service, but his hope was not
at first realized, for when his regiment
was ordered to the front he was trans
ferred TO other duties.
The young prince did his best 10
move the authorities. He even made a
nersonal call on Lord Kitchener at the
War Office, but the Secretary Ior war
was adamant. He pointed out that the
nrince had not served his full course
of military training and that until tn's
had been done no exception could De
made even in favor of the heiT 10 lne
