NEW FRENCH LOAN
IS A HUGE SUCCESS
Subscriptions to New Issue of War
Bonds Estimated at Four Bill
lion Dollars.
GOLD FROM PRIVATE HoARDs

PARIS, Nov. 27.-Paul Leroy
Eeaulieu, the economist, estimated
today that subscriptions TO the new
French war loan may amount to
2O,OOO,OOO.OOO francs $4,000. .OOO,-
OOO9.
OF this amount perhaps one-half
will be cash subscriptions, the re-
nainder representing conversion into
the new loan of earlier issues of
treasury notes and national defense
bonds. No official figures are yet
available. and other estimates OF the
total are at wide variance with that
of M. Leroy-Beaulieu.
Officials of the Treasury department
express great satisfaction with the results
thus far. Lines. of subscribers at the bank
of France and many other 'places today
were as long as these which waited
yesterday.
Promptness with which all classes have
responded to the call of Finance Minister
Ribot has given rise to many odd in
cidents. A man with the cap and blue
blouse OF peasant was asked at the
Bank of France what denominations OF
bonds he desired. The clerk Judge from
his appearance that he would subscribe
for a 100 to 1000 francs.
II don't care" the peasant responded.
'The less paper the better. But give me
100000 francs worth"
He paid one-tenth of this sum in gold.
significant detail of the loan sub
scriptions is the increase OF gold held
by the Bank Of France, coming from
private boards.
