manufacturing powder in Gov
eminent plants now for SO cents
per pound and the officers in
charge state that the more we
manufacture, the cheaper we can
produce it. There is little doubt
but that from eight to ten mill

London, Sept. 30.-Asserting that American bankers naturally prefer a loan with some S10,0000G0 profit to the importation of gold which brings no profit, the Manchester Gurdian de- clares editOriaily: "There is no reason, however, why the British gov ernment should indulge in what has every appearance of being a blunder as costly politically as financially"
 Insisting that the loan would be invalid unless approved by parlia mcnt, the Guardian adds:

 "The successful circulation of the nglo-French loan in the United States is, in itself, an event of such magnitude in 7 our relations with America that any purely financial criticism on the precise terms Of the loan must take secondary place. All the circumstances of the financial operation are unprecedented.
 We ourselves, never before in modern history, have sought {. for eign loan. No country ever before has placed a loan for anything like such an amount abroad, not even in England, and it is safe to say that none of our enemies could borrow such an amount in the UT1ited~States at any price.

 Yankees Drive Hard Bargain.
 The Morning Post, in an editorial explaining why the terms of the American loan are necessarily high, says:
 ~"There can be no question that our American cousins with their usual astuteness have taken full advantage of the allies necessities and obtained a magnificent bargain, especially as the operations will prevent the col lapse which might have occurred in American export trade if there had been debacle in the exchange on London"
 The Post, like many other papers, complains of the governments pro- crastination, contending that but for the delay, it might have obtained bet ter terms.
 The Daily News also finds the high terms of the loan decidedly discon- certing at first sight, but recognizes that they are duo to exceptional cir- cumstances and that it.+isi undoubtedly worth the large expenditure to solve the exchange problem.

 The Financial News says "excep- tional circumstances will prevent the loan becoming humihating, although we must expect to hear plenty on that score from German sources.
 Americans have no personal inter- est in making things easier for the al lies, although the defeat of the allies would mean immediate German an- nexation of the United States, but whether or not we have paid too dearly will depend upon the success of the operations"
 The Financier describes the loan as "a triumph of finance unique in the history of the world" and thinks it is useless to cayil at terms which the commissioners found to be the best obtainable.

MANY SURPRISES IN
THE NEW GAME LAWS:
SEASONS SHORTENED

Nimrods and followers of the rod

the latest game and fish laws have
several surprises in store for them
There have been a number of changes
throughout. In some cases the sea-
sons have been shortened and in num-
Der of instances the bag limit has
been reduced.
Deer season, which possibly is of
greatest interest to the sportsman at
this time, has been cut in every dis
trict. In the Southern California dis
trict, including portions of San Ber-
nardino, Imperial, San Diego, River
side, Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura
and Santa Barbara counties the sea-
son lasts for only one month, Sep
tember.
In Mendocino county and the coun-
ties adjacent the season is open from
August Is until October IA. The sea-
son is also the same about the Lake
Tahoe country. HIII
Spike bucks are now protected by
law, but the bag limit of bucks each
season is still effective.
The rabbit season which was open
for six months during the 1913-1914
season, has been reduced to 215
months. The season opens now on
October -, and closes the last of De-
cember. The bag limit, which was
