900 loan made by a group of New
York bankers to the government Of
France, to be used by France as .
checking account against the pur-
chase of supplies in this country. has
fopened the way, In the opinion OF
New York bankers, for Germany and
Austria to negotiate similar loans
here with view to having them
made available to pay for shipments
OF cotton and other supplies from the
United States. There were indica-
lions today that overtures had been
made looking toward loan to Ger
many. AS to the amount Of this loan
and that desired by Austria. reports
varied.
1t is believed in addition, that En-
gland and Russia might pursue a
similar course. a.
The $1O.OOO.OOO loan to France lie
to be distributed among number Of
banks both iu and outruf New York,
according to announcement made at
the National City Bank. No gold

In connection with the French
loan item, 1t was reported at trust
worthy sources that German mercan-
, tile and industrial interests had built
up huge credits in this country dur
ing the past month. Estimates placed
the amount of these balances ut be-
tween $5O,OOO.0OO and $75.000.O00.
These credits already have been re-

including considerable wearing ap-
parel. 1t is known also that heavy
shipments of canned meats and SIM

these German interests. which are
expected to continue their purchases

BUREAU OF MINES
EXPLAINS FIRST
AID METHODS

Washington. Oct. BIN line
with its campaign to reduce the
number of deaths in the mines OF
the United States. the federal bu-
reau of mines some time ago ap-
pointed a committee of eminent phys
icians and surgeons to develop an
deficient method of resuscitation to
DO administered by miners or other
persons to a fellow workman over
come by electric shock or by gases

i by physician or sui icon in time

AS a result of this committees re-
port just made. the bureau of mines.
Through Director Joseph "A. Holmes.
recommends the following procedure
In rendering first aid to those in need
of artificial respiration.
The recommendations apply not
only to men who are overcome by
electric shock or gases in mines. but
also to persons suffering from the
leffects of Illuminating gas poisoning
Tor from electric shock anywhere. The
recommendations are, therefore. of
importance to many thousands Of
workmen: 's~W1N
In case of gas poisoning, remove
victim at once from the gaseous at

patient from the current with sim
gle quick motion. using any dry
such as clothing, rope
or board. to move patient or wire.
Beware of using any metal or moist
material. Meantime have every eff
fort made to shut off current.
Attend instantly to the victims
breathing If the victim is not
breathing, he should be given manual
artificial respiration at once.
IF the patient is breathing slowly
and regularly, do not give artificial
respiration, but let nature restore
breathing unaided
In gas cases, give oxygen. II the
patient has been a victim OF gas. give
him pure oxygen, with manual ar
jtifcial respiration.
The oxygen may be given through
breathing bag from a cylinder hav-
ling reducing valve. with connect
ling tubes and face mask, and with
an inspiratory and an exploratory
valve, OF which the latter communi-
Gates directly with the atmosphere.
No mechanical artificial resuseita-
|ting device should be used unless one
operated by hand that has no suction

Use the Schaefer or prone pressure
method of artificial respiration. Be-
lgfn at once. "A moments delay Ii
