Fear Is Expressed That Submar-

that the submarine which may have

anything about the Arabic
A high official of the Admiralty. i'm

Arabic yet available, said
Would # not be lamentable If the
submarine should have been lost and
we should never learn what happen

Value Of English Pound, Sterling,
Sinks to the Lowest Level in
Its History Of Trading in the
United States.
CAUSE AND REMEDY is
SUGGESTED BY BANKERS
If Conditions Continue Nothing
But the Most Absolute of Ne
CeSSitieS viii Be Purchased BY
England From This Country.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The tremen-
dous export trade of the United
States i'm which the country leads
the world for the first time is inn
perilled by alarming drops i'm foreign
exchange rates, notably sterling At
the close of business the English
pound brought only 4551-2 I'm Ameri-
can money, this being a drop of 81 "a
cents below normal, and drop of
s ga cents since last night The
twenty-four break in values was with
out precedent.
Exchange marked the lowest value
yet recorded i'm an excited market
where every day recently has set
new record Of depreciation Sterling
is headed downward with a momen-
tum and velocity that promises to
take it to levels unthought of ten days
ago. In the face of rapid depreca-
tiou bankers are wondering tonight
how much longer Great Britain will
P. pay the premium and buy goods in
this market that she can get else
where where the value of her money
. is greater
Bankers are of the opinion that
American factories auc producers will
feel the pinch if rates went much
lower and that a cancellation of war
orders for everything except what
Great Britain cannot afford to do with
out-powder shot rifles. shrapnel,
aeroplaues and automobiles would
follow and that there would be few
new orders placed by London I'm Am
erica except for positive necessities.
The reason and remedy seemed
clear I'm the mind of international
bankers The English pound has be-
come deprecated they said, because
London failed ta provide p method
here for paving the big bills now com
ing due to- American shippers. The
remedy would be, they thought, to es-
tablish quickly mamoth credit loans
I'm this market America does not
want British gold to pay for supplies
The vaults of Wall street and the
banks I'M the interior are checked with
gold What New York bankers want
TO do is TO- lend Great Britain an enor-
nous sum of money to be spent in
paying bills here ON approved c0llat-
eral of high class American railway
and industrial stocks and bonds. lt is
believed this will restore conditions
TO nearly normal Apparently Great
Britain intends to adopt this course.
