LOAN TERMS PLEASE
 BRITISH FINANCIERS
Amount of Credit Shade Higher Than Was Looked for Originally in
 in Some Quarters.

London, Sept 29, 1:40 P. M.-The definite announcement of the terms On which the Anglo-French loan is to be issued in the United States was about in line with the expectations of British fnanciers. Though the yield is shade higher than had been looked for originally in some quar- ters, the general opinion is that heroic measures were necessary to remove the deadlock in exchange transa actions which had been allowed to continue for so long.
 It is felt here that the advantage rests with America in obtaining such a good rate of interest and facilities for it's export trade, although Eng land also reaps benefit by the post ponement for at least five years of payment of the debit for goods re- ceived.
 The question of exchange is now of first importance. Belief is ex- pressed in banking and exchange cir cles that further measures will be necessary to bring the rate more near ly to a normal figure. It is known that a good deal of money is being held for remittance as soon as cable transfers reach 4.8O.
 Gold is still going out and will con- tinue to go in payment of munitions

TROLLEY EXTENSION
 WILL BE SOUGHT
Chamber of Commerce to Begin
 Work on Three Propositions

Trolley extension work, so much needed in New Britain, is not to be allowed to lapse. One important ex- tension through the northwest sec tion of the city has been achieved this year and now the Chamber of Com merce is considering two further ex- tensions Extension of the East Main street line from it's present terminus at Fairview cemetary eastward to the railroad crossing is desired by resid- ents living beyond the tracks. Service for this same section, the upper end of East street including the Seymour Park section, was proposed some years ago by an extension from the Hartford line at the junction of East and Dwight streets and it was thought at the time that the work would be carried out at once, but bad business conditions put 9 quietus on the pro- position and it was never taken up again.
 line, which now terminates at Pleas ant and Fairview streets, is to be sought. Some years ago the trolley COIIlpdily lOSC US CHdILSr privilege to extend in this direction by allowing 1t to lapse, but 8 renewal was secured from the legislature when Ex-Mayor Hol1oran was in the senate. Wheth- CT it has again been allowed to lapse is question that will be investi- gated by the street railway extension committee of the Chamber of Com merce. An extension of the line through Stanley street if possible is desired by The Hartford Auto Parts Company, which will soon be housed in the new factory on East Ellis street.
 Residents of Stanley street south of Pleasant have for years sought troll ley extension in that direction, but without success although the matter was urgently placed before the off, cials of the Connecticut company. Another trolley extension that is de- sired is on Shuttle Meadow avenue from the terminus of the Arch street line. The extension committee of the Chamber of Commerce is to take up the matters at meeting within the next few days and it is understood will lend every effort to the work.

BERNsTORFF DEPENDS TURKS. Declares Armenians Atrocity Reports
 Have Keen Exaggerated

Washington, Sept. 29.-Count v1n Bernstorff, the German ambassador yesterday sent a communication to the state department saying reports of Turkish atrocities against Armer- ians were greatly exaggerated, and defending in part in the action of~ the Turks, as having been provoked,
 While the ambassadors letter does not deny that extreme penalties have been imposed on Armenians by the Turks, it is stated that attempts fs stir up rebellion and revolt and trea~ sonable activity has made the "Ar~ menian policy a necessary war time measure.
 Since Turkey has let 1t be known that no foreign interference with her Armenian policy will be permittee, the United States will probably avoid the matter as a subject for any formal protest, unless Americans oe- come involved.

Merchants Must Give Employees . Holiday to Comply With Law.
 The majority of the retail stores will close all day on Tuesday, Oc- tober 12. Columbus Day. which is a legal holiday
 This is according to the scneduie approved by the Merchantle Bureau of the Chamber of Comnerce early in the year. New Britain stores kept opeR all day Washington's Birthday, and it is, therefore, necessary to dose on an additional holiday to acover the State law.
 The Chamber secured the ruling of the Attorney General through the State Bureau of Labor, that the law calls for the closing of Mercantile abnshments employing female help for seven full holidays with pay, dur ing the year, before they can avail themselves of the provisions of the law allowing working or female help overtime during the ten day period previous to Christmas
 The ruling of the Attorney Gen. eral clearly shows that neither the closing of a store for parts of days, nor the keeping of the store open ana allowing, the female help time off, can be considered as in any way com plying with the seven holidays pro- vision.

HAYDEN WILL
 MEET UNION"
Congressman Agrees to a Conference at Adams Ho- tel Thursday with Women Interested in National Suffrage for Women.

In response to a request made to him by a committee representing the Congressional Union for woman suf- rage last night, Congressman Carl
 Hayden consented to receive a delega- ton for q conference on the national suffrage amendment, on Thursday afternoon at the Hotel Adams. this city. This move is part of a series of organization endeavors by repre- sentatives of the national body, work ing to strengthen the favor of congress toward what is known as the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
 ! Mere acquieScence in the provisions of this bill, however. is not all that the union will ask. In many ways, it will urge congress and congressman to work for the bill mentioned, and also against another amendment, said ] to have certain insidious evasions and delays concealed in it.
 I Tonight's meeting of women inter ested in national suffrage at the roof garden of the Jefferson hotel. is the most formal portion of the program so far. Miss Alice Birdsall. the well known attorney, will preside, and among the speakers will be General Secretary Mrs. E. N. Phillips of the Young Women's Christian Association. A member of the delegation that motored to Tempe last night to pre- pare Mir. Havden for the Thursday conference, admitted last night that the congressman had been very affable but claimed it wass something of victory that he had consented to meet the delegation. Those who lent their i,resepce last night in support of the conference scheduling were Mrs. Kate Munger, Mrs. Pauline Colodny, Miss ,9irdsan and Miss Stevens, who has inst come here from the great Califor- ria. conference, where the 'demonstra- tion week was programmed for Wash inston early in December.
