STILL SEEING CABLEGRAMS
Great Britain Fails to Heed American
Protests. -

( Washington, Oct. 13.-Secretary
Lansing said that representations to
Great Britain regarding the confsca-
ton without notice of commercial ca
Diagrams sent from the United States
to foreign countries by the way of
England has met with no success so
far. 49,.
Protests in individual cases, he said,
also have accomplished little although
conditions in this regard are some
what improved.
1t was learned that the American
government recently requested Great
Britain at least to notify the senders
at their own cost when messages were
destroyed. This policy, it is said, is
being pursued by the French cable
companies. -. "

ADVISES SWISS MILiTARISM
Colonel Roosevelt Denounces Hypher
sted Americans.

New York, Oct. 13.-"The foreign
born population of this country must
be an Americanized population-no
other kind can fight the battles of
America, either in war or in peace"
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt so as
serted in speech on "Americanism
before the Knights of Columbus at
Carnegie hall. Colonel Roosevelt said
at the outset it was the duty of i'm
migrants to learn English and it was
the duty of America to provide them
means to learn English. He suggest
ed also adoption of a military system
similar to the Swiss.
IF an immigrant is not fit to be-
come a citizen he should not be al
lowed to come here" said Colonel
Roosevelt. eff he is fit he should be
given all the rights to earn his own
livelihood and to better himself that
any man can have.
There is no room in this country
for hyphenated Americans he said.

BILL APPROVING
B|CL0ANP PASSES
House Of Commons Acts Undni-
mous|y on Measure.
MAY NOT AFFECT EXCHANGE

Rate of Interest Draws Forth Some
Criticism-John Dillon Says Success
of Loan Was an Index of Popular
Sentiment in America Toward the
Allies.
London, Oct ia loan bill to con.
firm the action of the government in
raising a loan of $5O0,OOO,OOO in the
United States, in conjunction with
France, passed through all stages of
the house OF commons.
1t is expected to receive the royal
assent as soon as the house of lords
has formally passed it.
Previous to the passage of the bill
Reginald McKenna, the chancellor of
the exchequer, explained the reasons
for the loan and it's terms and replied
to criticisms as to the rate of inter-
est charged for the loan and the profit
to be made by the underwriters.
These criticisms were made by a few
members of the house.
A large majority of the members
save the bill their unqualified support
and it was passed unanimously. -
1t is not believed here that the pas
sage of the loan bill will have an i'm.
mediate effect on the rate of ex-
change. In fact, it is believed the
government will have to come into
the market and sell exchange before
any pronounced or permanent i'm.
provement can be attained.
During debate on the bill there was
some criticism on the rate of interest.
John Dillon, supporting the terms, de-
clared the success of the loan was an
index Of popular sentiment in America
toward the allies.
1T was a business transaction, but
more than that" he said, "and 6, z
and per cent would not have sue
ceeded in obtaining the money if it
had not been for deep wave of SYM
pathy in America in favor of the al
lies. 1t is therefore, a mistake to
criticise the loan, to which we are
now committed, as if the people of
the United States had taken advan-
tage Of our necessities"
