PRAYERS SUGGESTED FOR
PEOPLE OF WARRING NATIONS

Rev. Richard Bolton, moved by
the horrors of the war in Europe,
that the more fortunate
people of this peaceful section
should offer up prayers for their af-
f1icted brethren across the sea, that
peace may be restored and that the
butchery of human beings may
cease. To this end he suggests that
at a certain time each day those
who may be disposed should Join in
a brief prayer for the purposes men
toned 1T was thought that just at
noon would be a time that would
suit most people, and Mr.. Bolton
would be glad to welcome all to All
Saints church at that hour, or at
any other that may be decided upon
as most convenient.
The idea is strictly non-scctarian,
and Mr.. Bolton suggests All Saints
church merely because 1t was not
known whether any other suitable
place could be had 1t is his hope
that all. regardless of creed or de-
nomination, might come together in
this common prayer for the good OF
humanity.

SWEDEN GETS LOAN
OF 100000 HERE
Money Provided by Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. and National City Bank
to Pay for Supplies.
GERMAN EFFORT RUMORED

Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the National
city Bank have bought from the Swedish
Government 100000 two year 8 per
cent Treasury notes due December |.
1916. The notes arc now being offered for
sale by the bankers at 100 per cent. and
accrued interest The principal purpose
of the loan Is to provide the Swedish
Government with commodity credits in
this country.
This is the second loan to be afforded
to neutral country OF Europe since
the outbreak OF the war. the first being
a loan OF 100000 to Norway At the
time tho loan was made to Norway the
Swedish Government was also in the
market for financial accommodation. but
there were certain details at that time
which combined to hold up the transac-
ton. The National city Bank made the
loan TO Norway alone.
Tho arrangement under which the bank
ers bought the notes from the Swedish
Government provided that the proceeds
OF the sale should be devoted TO the pur-
chase OF commodities in this country and
does not in any sense mean that "a ship
mert OF gold TO the borrowing country
will follow the loan.
The arrangement is not unlike that
which has been made in three cases TO
helligerent nations in Europe. France and
Russia. At the outbreak OF the war
credit for sl2.0O0.OOO was extended to the
French Government by j. y. Morgan &
CO.. IL being specified that France should
draw against that credit for supplies in
this country. During the week OF Oc-
tober 25 the National City Bank extended
further credit OF $40, 900. 900 to France
for the same purpose. This loan was in
the form of one year s per cent. notes
Meanwhile the National City Bank had
made an advance OF $1,000. 900 to Russia
Since that time Russian agents have
been making heavy deposits IN New York
banks against the purchase OF munitions
of war and supplies and movement IS
already under way to form company
here TO be known as the Russo American
Bank. which will not only arrange for
credits but also generally superintend the
purchasing and transportation of supplies
There have been several reports within
the last fortnight OF efforts on the part
of belligerents to get direct war loans
In this city. The most insis,ent has been
that Germany Is In the market. Up 20
this time II German Government agents
have been at work they have not been
successful.
Bankers who are familiar with Swedish
finances said yesterday that the financial
position of the country is very favorable
and that its per capita debt on December
81, 1912. was less than $40. The external
debt OF the country Is about si3S.556. 0O0.
and It's internal debt $22.7S0,000. The
country is said to possess assets estimated
at about si7l.94s.000. or more than two
and one-half times the national debt.
