The Success of The Loan.

Comments in the English press on the
terms of the Angio-French loan all strike
the same note. From the point of view
of the powers seeking credit here the
cost OF the loan is high. Yet it is recog-
nizsd that the bargain was one dictated
by necessity and therefore not without
ito decided advantages to the borrowers
as we'll as TO the lenders.
Great Britain has never in modern
times sought 70 float loan abroad. Yet
no other country has ever placed loan
approaching $500 900, 900 in Britain, hith-
erto the undisputed banking centre Of the
world The people Of the United States
and the bankers of the United States have
seldom interested themselves in foreign un-
derwritings. Il is Us unprecedented a
thing for us 10 lend $500, 900, 900 abroad
as il Is for Great Britain and France To
borrow that amount from a single for
eign nation. For that reason, perhaps.
the further one goes back from our Allan
tic seaboard the less interest is shown in
the present Anglo British credit. Under
such conditions unusual concessions had
to be made by the borrowers if the loan
was TO have striking moral as well as
technical success. 1.-THE London Times"

that "in such circumstances we need not

Sir: Permit me 10 thank Mr. Dushan D.

entitled Austria Worse Than Turkey
He says: AT the meeting of the South
Slavs from Austria resolutions were passed
which bitterly denounced Austria, asking OF
the Allied powers to unite them with their
fellow brethren in Serbia" This means tina,

ing 100000 Slavonians who wish to be an
nexed to neither Serbia nor Russia? The terri
tory occupied by these people amounts to
over $4,000 square miles, territory equa
TO Bulgaria and larger than Serbia herself
They have already adopted a resolution which
has been handed 20 President Wilson and
the Allied powers. They did not ask that
they be annexed 70 any country whatever, but
they did ask that they be made an indepen-
dent nation, such as Holland, Belgium and
Switzerland Will they be granted this re.

pampered and lionized, the Just claims and
interests of her allies were wholly disre-
garded and the seeds of dissension were as
s;duously sown, bringing forth an abundant
harvest 10 all concerned The great powers
will not recognize such annoying "trifes" as
the conflicting interests and rival aspirations
among the lesser nations. They arrogate
such royal prerogatives only TO themselves,
in pursuance Of which they are now on the
warpath, and as it now happens that the
united Balkan power is highly precious to
either side, they deem it worthy of their
effort to try and patch up hasty and tempo
rary IMPROVEMENT among the small states
in order 10 align them on their particular
side, thus acquiring an additional formidable
weapon which might be trained effectively
on the opposite camp
Greece, untrammelled by outside obtru-
sions and meddlngs would be only too eager
to accept Bugarias challenge by cheerfully
knocking the chip off the shoulder of Ferdi-
nand and accepting the outcome Of the en-
suing struggle with a glad heart.
As for the Bulgarian fighting qualities,
which are so unduly exaggerated here, the
Grecian army has had the chance of esti-
mating its true worth in a string Of battles,
which began at Kilkish and ended at upper
Tzoumaya.
Greece of 1915 possesses a fighting ma
chine which is as fit, in regard to personnel
and equipment, as any army ever was, and
has attained its present high standard of
efficiency through the fostering care of Pre-
mier Venizelos, coupled with the inspiring
leadership and the strict discipline which
King Constantine, its recognized head, Yields
over it. And should the Bulgarian threat
materialize into an actual warlike move on
the Serbian frontier, Greece would be found
! ready to discharge her treaty obligations
toward her ally as behooves the honor and
dignity Of q nation such as Hellas In such
ar event the Hellenic divisions could be de-
pended upon to hammer the ambitions for
aggrandizemcnt out of the proyerbially hard
headed Bulgars, and likewise instil some
prudence and moderation in the breast OF
their equally ambitious Car, squelching one
forever this recrudescent Bulgarian chau-
vinism. CHRISTY D. KOZIAS

a Star Conductor.

The announcement that Arturo Tosca-
mini will not return TO the Metropolitan
Opera House this season exceeds III public
interest anything yet disclosed regarding
the years plans. Maestro Toscanini has
become a prime favorite in the conductors
chair. and his decision not TO quit Italy
during the war will be regretted by opera
goers here, whether or not they have
agreed with his handling Of some Of the
German works which have fallen to his
baton.
Signor Toscanini, during his stay here,
has come TO be regarded as more than
ail eminent artist and a splendid musician
he has become a star conductor" like
Nidsch and Weingartner, with an attrac-
tiGn for the public similar to that of singer
stars and actor stars. His habit Of con-
Quoting without scores, his pleasing per-
sonality, contributed to build up this repu-
cation as well as his brilliant perform
ances as director. At any rate, the fact
hat Toscanini was to direct an opera
was reflected at the boxofiice, just as the
fact that Caruso or Farrar was to sing.
And that fact, in turn, was reflected IN
the $4,000 salary he drew, for the emolu-
ments of the operate world are not
based entirely on abstract artistic merit
Through his decision not to return the
war has again indirectly hit America.

from Vimy 70 Hill No 70, curving outward
ebout Lens. The Germans are fighting
desperately 70 hold back the French who
are pushing up and over the Nimy ridge
and to expel the British who by occupy
ing Hill No. 20 have for the moment won
the key 70 Lens.
This particular operation is interesting
because It discloses perfect illustration of
the nature Of the struggle In the west.
Coordination Of British and French at
tacks has resulted In two advances which
have created rather deep and narrow
salient about the city Of Lens. The initial
success. If il be maintained, means the
ultimate withdrawal of the whole German
line In this sector. II does not mean that
the line will be pierced, necessarily or
probably; It will be reconstructed to the
east.
But such a withdrawal apart from
local advantages, affects the general Ger
man position because 1t brings the Allies
rearer to the lines Of road and rail vital
TO the whole German position in France.
Il also expels the Germans from the
ground most advantageous for defending
he railroad lines and throws them back
into the plain.
It is wholly improbable that the Allies
will pierce CT expect to pierce the German
lines. This Is always the maximum Of
what IS possible, and therefore the least
likely 10 occur. But local success, which
includes the capture Of Lens and its coal
mines, prepares the way for another
offensive. this time with Douai as the OBJ
iective. If q second OF third offensive.
whose benefit was only local, should carry
the Allies beyond Douai, then the Ger
mans would be obliged To leave Lille and
probably all Of northern France.
The thing 10 keep In mind is that the
Allies in Artois are slowly and surely
pushing the Germans back. They drove
them off the Lorette Hill in May. They
seem at the point Of expelling them from
Lens now. Precisely in this fashion Grant
moved west around Petersburg and Rich
mond until Lee was compelled to leave
the Confederate capital, because his re-
naming line Of communication was I'M
perilled.
The Allied movement is not by the
flank. It is rather a wedge slowly driven
eastward across the German line of COM
munication. IF Lens should fall, the net
advance for six months would hardly ex-
coed ten miles at the most. But if the
rate were maintained, and the country
favors the Allies as they advance, the
Germans would have to leave France
within the next twelve months. The mind
Of the world has been captured by the
idea of a drive" sudden, decisive
thrust through; this may come, it is al
ways possible; but it is well to recall that
a steady push will achieve the main object
in time, and the present operation, so far,
nothing more than rather
"nibble"

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff


There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
It entirely. To do this. just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this Is all
you will need). apply 1t at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning. most If not all. Of your
dandruf will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
OF the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous. glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel a
hundred times better.
