NEW YORK, October Am impor-
tant announcement, indicating the sue
cess Of the Anglo French loan, was
made today by ]. P. Morgan & Co. 1t
was to the effect that no subscriptions
to the underwriting will be received

The statement follows:
I'm behalf of the managers Of the
underwriting syndicate of the Anglo
French external loan J. p. Morgan &
Co. announce that no subscriptions to-
ward the underwriting will be received
after 10 o'clock tomorrow Tuesday
morning"
Subscriptions Pour In.
Subscriptions for the loan continued
to pour in today. Among those seeking
to subscribe were a considerable num-
Der of British and French citizens, re-
siding abroad.
These investors sought the bonds be-
cause the rate of interest Is a full per
cent higher than that on the previous
ever, their subscriptions were rejected
today. although indications were that
an appreciate amount of the ponds
have been disposed of in England and
France. To do SO. however, would de-
feat the object for which the credit
was established-the sterilization OF
exchange, which requires that the
money for the. bonds be available In
this country.
The foreign orders came by cable and
from the New York financial agents OF
London and Paris houses with wealthy
clienteles.
London Opposes Subscriptions.
LONDON. October 4. 3 p.m.-Reports
that persons in England have been at
tempting to subscribe to the Anglo
French loan being raised in the United
States ELECTED the following statement
from the government today:
THE treasury point that 1t is very
undesirable in the public interest that
persons or firms in the United King
dom subscribe to or purchase the forth
coming Anglo-French loan in America.
THE main purchase Of the loan Is to
give support to the American ex-
changes. Remittances from che United
Kingdom for the purpose either of sub
scribing to or purchasing the loan or
of replacing funds already in America
which may be employed for such sub
scription or purchase would have the
effect of defeating the object.
Holders of the loan who reside in
the United Kingdom will be liable to
an income tax on the dividends, as in
the case of income from other secur-
tiles abroad, and dealings In the loan
will not be permitted upon any stock
exchange in the United Kingdom

Managerial Trials
Told by a Manager

I've given up trying to explain to peo-
pie why can't have pictures nOe that
every night They don't know that the
from the producers.
They suppose we go down town or
somewhere else, look 'em over and pick
out just what We want. If they knew
that there are many scores of new pic
lures every day. and that no exhibitor
can possibly see them all or even very
many Of them, they might not be so
critical. Also they don't realize that in
the case Of the leading features we have
to bind ourselves in advance to take the
features that are turned out by a GER
tain company. for a certain period Of
time, and that we have to take what
Is offered to US. regardless Of whether
they prove satisfactory or not. The only
chance we have to display our own
judgment in the matter is in selecting
the company which we will patronize.
Then if we make a bad guess we have
to suffer for il.
Not long ago 1 made a contract with
a big company-One that has done a
whole lot of advertising and shouting
about its big features-but before 1 had
tried it long found myself losing money
The pictures did not prove popular, but
1 could not change until after I had
given 30 days notice. Now, after have
gone over to another company, the one
which 1 abandoned comes along with a
good feature and people ask me why 1
don't get 1t. They are the same ones
who didn't like the first ones.
II motion pictures were where we could
get them and pick out Just what we want.
and get them just when we wanted them,
this game would be easy. But it isn't
that way. We have to make the best we
can out Of conditions just as they are
And at that think you'n find that people
on the average are better satisfied with
what they see at a motion picture show
than they are with what they see at the
theatre.
When you so to count up the number
of different shows we run here through
out the year you'n find, I think. that the
proportion of good pictures is remark
ably good compared with the good shows
one sees on the regular stage.
Some of these days, probably, we win
be able always to get Just the pictures
we would like to have every day. and
then I'll be willing to stand by my own
judgment in picking out the shows that
I put on

Interior Movies

A Danish engineer, Professor Friedrich
sen. has built an apparatus consisting OF
a rather stiff rubber tube, II milimeters in
width, and ending in a small steel pipe
which contains a camera. He has equipped
the little apparatus with a minute arc
lamp, which lights the interior of the
stomach sufficiently to photograph it and.

One can readily understand that this in
vention Is destined to disclose vast hori-
IONS to medicine and surgery, and (this
mayhap will not be understood quite so
readily to our eXtra-medical habits. A
brief explanation will evidence even this
latter assertion.
Photography Of the stomach may be-
come a most delightful diversion from the
customary - and much-abused - photog-
raphy of the physiognomy Indeed. it
will be of much greater value and
purport. One will be able to offer IN
token Of affection, the photograph OF his
own 'tummy'' with an autographs dedi-
cation. 1t would be an easy matter to
corroborate a verbal protest, like for ex-
ample: tSir, your cynicism upsets my
stomach by exhibiting the little in
Simultaneous picture that escapes all con-
troversy.
And concerning the kinematography Of
the digestive channels. which the Danish
inventor has apparently made also pos
sible, any one can see how great an ap-

Until the war broke out few Ameri-
cans had heard the word bosche or
boche, the French soldiers nickname
for German. 1t doesn't appear in
the Academy's dictionary or in such
editions of Littre as most of us can
get hold of. In Delvau's slang diction-
airy its definition is "Mauvais sujet,
dams Target des petites DANES, qui lie
preferent au muche"; which last word
Delvau defines as "jeune homme poll,
doux, amiable. reserve" A letter from
Thomas Ogilvy to the Spectator sup
plies some additional information He
says M. Theodore Joran is his author
ity for saying that Littre does define
bosche, and defines it as ulcer or pes

related to the Latin bucca. which
means first the cheek, regarded as a
