PROCEEDS TO BE SPENT
 IN AMERICA

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Represen- tatives of Great Britain and France who came here for the purpose of floating loan are asking that the United States take $1.OOO,OOO,0OO in- stead of s5OO,OOO,OOO as was at first proposed. They pledge that if Amer jeans take a loan of S1,000O0O,000 that every cent of it will be spent in the United States for cotton, meat wheat and other war munitions.
 It is also stated that if the United States does not take a loan 1t will naturally be necessary for Great Brit ain to purchase all the cotton, meat and other supplies possible in other markets where the British and French exchange are higher
 LOAN LIKELY TO BE PLACED
 That the loan will be placed in New York is not questioned by bankers here. In fact, 1t is the solution of the situation that New York bankers have been begging and praying for for the last five weeks. Large papers, includ- ing the World. Times and Herald and practically all of the financial publi- cations are urging that the loan be for S2,OOO.OOO,OOO. because they claim that 1t will require that amount to main tain normal British values for Brit ish exchange for year.
 Conferences have been held today between American bankers and the foreign representatives. No annouce- mems have been made as to the pro- posed loan, but it is accepted here as a fact that it will be on five per cent basis with freedom from any in- come or other tax charge.

CANADA MUST MAKE
 LARGER SHELLS HEREAFTER

MONTREAL. Sept 14.-Dr. A. Thom as says that undoubtedly a number of larger Canadian plants have ma chinery heavy enough to manufacture bigger shells. The result of the man. ufacture of munitions to date in Can ada is that shrapnel is being accu- mulated faster than 1t can be shipped this forming the bulk of Canada's present production. Attention must be turned to heavier shells. and while Mr. Thomas says the Dominion would naturally obtain the preference and get her full of orders of this nature, the majority of orders must go to the United States, since that country is much better equipped.
