GREAT GERMAN LOAN
OVersupscripton Shows Confidence
in Government

Berlin, Sept. 2S. (via London.) -
While details regarding the subscrip-
tions to Germanys third war loan are
still incomplete. everything indicates
the great success of the issue. A
number of cities which have reported
complete totals show considera bly
larger figures in subscriptions than
for the March loan, and none of them
reports a decrease in amount.
Comparisons with the March loan
indicate that the larger subscriptions
of 100000 marks and upward, will
show total 80 per cent. above those
for the last loan.
Some optimistic estimates in bank
ing circles are that the subscriptions
to the new loan will total 12,OOO,0Oo,-
600 marks (S3,000,0 ,00O.000)
Advices from Berlin through Lon
don last night were that estimates Of
the subscriptions to the new loan
ran as high as $2,75O.O0O, 900. Figures
from Berlin late in March gave the
total of subscriptions to the second
loan, which closed on March 10 as
So, ,140 0O0,G 900.

EC'WIN D. MOORE RESIGNS
Bookkeeper Nearly 80 Years for H.
&. Bradford Company

Edwin d. Moore. who has been
bookkeepper and cashier for the II.
f. Bradford company, manufacturers
of knit underwear, has resigned Mr.
Moore's physician recently informed
him that he had been too long and too
steadily confined to a line of work
that was taxing his nervous system
beyond its capabilities. To continue,
the physician said, would eventually
result in collapse. He advised a
long rest and Mr.. Moore is going to
take the advice.
Mr.. Moore will leave the Bradford
company in the 29th year of his ser
vice. Only two men are today work
ing in the factory who were on the
payroll when he entered the com
pany's employ. He is one of the best
known men with the knit goods in
dustry in Bennington and he has pas
sed practically his entire life in the
village, has acquired host of friends
who earnestly hope that the propos-
ed change will accomplish the desir-
cd purpose and also that his resigna-
tion does not mean his removal from
the community.

London, Sept. 23-No further news
from Bulgaria has reached the Brit
ish public and even in diplomatic cir
cles inability to explain the Balkan
riddle is expressed NJ. Mincoff, first
secretary of the Bulgarian legation,
said today:
up to now we have been the only
civilians in the armed camp of Eur
ope. Rumania and Greece have been
modified for a considerable time and
even Switzerland is under arms.
"Why, therefore, is it so astonish-
ing that Bulgaria should follow suit?
Why should mobilization mean any
change in our national policy?
Il am not prepared to make any
prophecies as they might fail of full
flment owing to unexpected develop
ments. We must wait and see
The greatest uncertainty still ex-
lists even in official circles in Lon
don as to the intention of King Ferd-
inand and his advisers. In fact, it is
not yet certain that the mobilization
has begun or that the date has been
set for it. One report from AAthens
says that the mobilization has been
postponed.
1t is known, however, that the en-
tente Representatives at Sofa and
other Balkan capitals are still busy
trying to reconstruct the Balkan
league and thus prevent Rumania,
Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia from
fighting among themselves AS the
bulgarian government appears to
have made its mind despite the op-
position of some parties it seems like
ly that these diplomatic efforts will
have many difficulties to overcome.
The central powers have already
commenced their attempt to make
their way through Serbia and one of
the intervening neutral countries to
the Aegean With Russia more than
holding her own against the Austro-
Germans in Galicia and Nolhynia it
is believed here that the Balkan pow
ers would hesitate before going con-
trary TO the wishes of their big
neighbor and former protector.

SAW CUT OFF HIS NOSE
Owner Picked Up Severed Organ and
Waited for Help.

Rutland, Sept. ga saw, falling
from 15-foot scaffolding, today cut
off the nose of William Dwyer of
West Rutland, who was working as a
plumber at the house of William Gill
lam, GA River street. He had just
finished connecting an eayespout
when fellow workman asked him If
he did not smell smoke coming from
inside the structure.
Dwyer, who was moving a ladder
raised his head. AS he did so, the
ladder dislodged saw on the scat
folding and the jagged blade struck
him across the face, severing his
nose. The tip of the severed organ
flew into a barrel OF shingle nails.
Dwyer calmly picked up his nose and
waited until the arrival of DR.. l.. A.
IIeidel, who, by means of many
stitches, tried to return the nose to
its place. 1t is doubtful if the opera
tion will prove successful.

sULPHuRlc AcIC. SCANDAL
London Paper lntimates that Pur-
chase irregular.

chase irregular.
London. Sept 23-Great promin-
ence is given by the Globe today to
what it describes as the scandal of
sulphuric acid" 1t says:
In the spring Of this ye.., .ur reas
ons believed to be good and sufficient
doubtless. but which we hope will be
made the subject of an inquiry by
the House of Commons. the firm or
c. Tenant Sons & Co., by no means
remotely connected in the family
sense with member of the Cabinet,
was commissioned to buy large
quantities of sulphuric acid in Amer
ica. Why no attempt was made to
secure the acid in this country we
will not stop to inquire"
The Globe asserts that the methods
employed in the shipment of the ac-
id were so defective that hundreds
of thousands of pounds were lost. 1t
is said that ships were damaged by
escaping acid, which released noxious
gases endangering the health of the
crews
In one case, according to this news
paper, the crew refused to leave
port, and the acid was held up in New
York for two months. Two steam
ships are said to have been damaged
so badly that there was nothing to
do but to buy them, at a cost of $780,
OOC.
The Globe suggests two questions ::
Why the acid was not shipped in
proper vessels and who has made
good to the owners-Tennant e Co.
or the government?
Mrs. Asquith, wife of the Premier
was Miss Emma Alice (Margot)
Tenant, a daughter of the late Sir
Charles Tenant, and a sister OF
Lord Glenconner (Sir Edward Ten
ant, Bart,) who was created a peer
in 1911. The immense fortune of the
family is derived from what are said
to be the greatest chemical works in
! the United Kingdom.
