Gen. Hamilton, Il realized that we had

parallel from the sea to the strait and
there was little scope left for tactics
which would bring fresh battalions

it was thought, simply being trans
ferred on it's books to the credit OF
the loan syndicate.
This having been done, should it be
found desirable to have one-fourth OF
the entire credit available in New
York, the bank would be called upon
to transfer one-fourth of the subscrip-
ton to New York. The idea of tieing
up the full amount of the loan at once
seemed to be repugnant to both par
ties to the negotiations.
The Commissions
Many American bankers were of the
opinion that the one-half of l per cent
allowed them for their services would be
on that basis for each year of the loan
Thus if the loan should run five years,
il was thought the banks would obtain
the bonds at 97., or two and one-half per
cent Give times one-half Of one per cent?
below par.
Another proposed feature it was report
ed was that the short term bonds where
five or 10 years should include the priv
ilege of conversion to long-term British
and French government bonds paying A
per cent interest at the end of the short
term period. BY that time. it was
thought, the war would have passed into
history and the long term bonds, being a
first mortgage on Great Britain and
France and having a life Of 50 to 100
years, would be regarded as a prime in
vestment and would fetch more than par.
In the absence Of official announcement
the situation was said to be encouraging
today. In this connection 1t was reported,
but without confirmation. that a member
Of one Of the chief New York banks Of
the so-called pro-German group had
made overtures to the commission look
ing toward placing It's name on the sub
scription rolls.
