The Governments Making This Agree
nent With the United States Will
Allow Prisoners to Have Supplies
Sent From Native Lands.

WASHINGTON, March l9.-An ar
rangement between Great Britain and
Germany and Austria, by which rep
resentatives of the United States will
inspect and report upon alien prison
cafps in those countries, and distrib'
ute to prisoners supplies from their
own governments or other sources,
was announced last night by the state
department, and it was stated that
through the good Offices of the Ameri-
can government similar arrangements
were under contemplation between
Russian and France and Germany and
Austria.
The agreements are based upon re-
concentrations in a report by Chand
Ter F. Anderson, formerly counsellor
of the state department, who confer
red with the foreign offices of Great
Britain, Germany and Austria last
November and visited some of the de-
tention camps in those countries.
The departments sta ement in part
follows:
Through the good Offices of the
United States an arrangement has
been entered into between Great Brit
ain and Germany and Austria-Hunga
ry, and a similar arrangement is un.
der contemplation between Germany
and Austria-Hungary and Russia and
France, by which representatives oil
the United States in these countries
will be authorized to inspect and re
port upon prisoners calhps and dis.
tribute to the prisoners the supplies
from their own governments and from
other sources.
"The basis of this arrangement is
briefly as follows:
~ Each Of the belligerent gov
ernments undertakes to furnish for
the information Of the others a com.
plete statement of its policy with re.
gard to the treatment of prisoners
with full details showing the supplies
furnished and the conditions of their
life during internment, supplemented
by copies of orders and instructions
issued to the commandments of the pris.
oners' camps.
80. The belligerent governments
will permit the representatives Of the
United States in each country to have
access to the prisoners and will allow
the prisoners to furnish statements
about their treatment, authorizations
of life and requirements which they
wish to have communicated to their
own government.
1T is understood that the United
states in undertaking this work as
sumes no responsibility of any kind
beyond the mere transmission of the
statements and the distribution Of
supplies furnished, as above indicat-
ed, in accordance with such restric.
lions and regulations as are imposed
by the governments concerned"

BUSINESS IMPROVING

In the August American Magazine

an article entitled The Money Side OF
War;" which is full of newsy and i'm

business prospects in this country he
says in part:
Suppose we come back now to the
situation in America: Those perplex-
ing and even agonizing days seem now
to have passed. There has, in effect,
been a tremendous reversal of condi-
tons. Money is easy; we are import

tor in the international loan market.
These foreign loans have been so scat
tered that perhaps the total of them
has not been fully appreciated, but just
let me enuremate: To various munich
palities and provinces in Canada.
American investors have since January
L, 1915, loaned over $60,0OO,0OO to
Russia $25,000OO0, in addition to pri-
vate credits which that government
has arranged to almost the same
amount; to France, $4,000 900, or
Whereabouts; to Germany, about $1O,-
100000; to Switzerland, $4,000 900;
to Norway and Sweden, about $3,OOO,-
600 apiece; to the Argentine, SAC, 0OO,-
900. The grand total, therefore, of
these foreign loans that we have made
since the war broke out, is about $685.
