New York, Sept. 1o.-The Anglo
French commission, seeking way to
meet the huge bills of Great Britain
and France for American munitions
and other supplies, reached New
York today, was welcomed by j. P.
Morgan and met approximately 100
prominent bankers, insurance heads
and leaders in other lines OF finance
late this afternoon at a reception in
Mrs. Morgan's library. Tonight the
commissioners were dinner guests of
a party of New York financiers
Five hundred million dollars is the
smallest sum which the commission
hopes to borrow. They would much
rather have a round billion In view
however, of the many difficulties
which lie in the way of floating a
credit loan of such proportions in Am
erica, it was thought that the COM
missions task would be almost of
herculean proportions and would re-
suit in borrowing the smaller sum.
The entire proceeds, of course, would
be used in paying for American sup
plies.

this time it involved both the cen
trail powers, on the theory that Aus
tria after having her ambassador vir-
tually dismissed from the country,
might stand with her ally in relations
with the United States.
Unofficial reports that a second
note had been started from the Ber-
lin foreign Office for Washington fur
nished about the only basis of optim-
ism in official quarters so far as the
submarine controversy was concern
ed. There was no official intimation
that another communication was on
the way, but the American reply to
the note on the Arabic probably will
be delayed until officials can learn
whether to expect anything addition
al from Berlin.
1t may be stated that if nothing
comes in the nature of modillca-
tion of Germany's explanation an
American note will reach Berlin prob
ably early next week which will set
forth the views of the United States
in n brief unmistakeable manner.

spending $S00,000 for Fairgrounds and
changing the hours New York could
accomplish more than by spending, az
the New York board proposes, $1,000
