NEW LOAN RUMOR
DENIED BY BARON
English Warcraft May Convoy
American Liner Bearing
British Financiers.

Whatever happens, nothing can
change the attitude of Great Britain
and her allies in the war For them
there can be only one end
This was Lord ChIef Justice Read
ing's parting word as he sailed on the
American liner s.. Louis yesterday for
Liverpool. accompanied by Sir Edward
Holden, his daughter Mrs. Warren; Sir
Henry Darlington Smith and two secre-
taries. The two French members OF the
commission and Basil Blackett are re-
naming here to round up the details OF
the $500 .OOO, 900 loan, the final con-
tracts for which were signed Friday.
Until We have had final victory
continued Lord Reading. "there will be
no end of the struggle for us. The
British nation is prepared TO MAKE
everv sacrifice 10 attain this end. Moth
ing that can be done will be omitted
No efforts will be spared, and we Will
continue with minns directed solely 10
our purpose" This doctrine OF faith,
delivered in n voice grim with serious
ness, was the answer TO question put:
"Do you think the Allies are contem-
plating the abandonment of the Darda-
nelles?" go.
Lord Reading was quite willing 70
| talk with the ship news reporters, and
/ granted them a twenty-minute inter
[ view on the promenade deck just be-
/ fore the ship sailed. Plans had been
/ made to take him down the bay in j..
p. Morgan's yacht, the Corsair, but as
/ this would have perhaps caused HIM
and other members of the party more
/ trouble in embarking, he elected to
/ board the ship at the pier.
Speaking for himself and members
of the commission, Lord Reading said:
II have been here five weeks on my
| first visit to this country, but nave
/ been so busy that | saw little OF the
! land. | am indeed glad that the loan
negotiations are over We are quite
J satisfied with the result. No bargain
1 is a good bargain unless both sides are
/ satisfied, and complete satisfaction Will
/ be the result of this loan. The persons
with whom we dealt kept very proper
regard for American interests, OF
course. but am satisfied that they did
not try to exact too much.
an regard to a reported new loan OF
| $500. 900. 900, can state there is moth
/ ing to this story. We have hardly had
a chance to breathe after closing the
present one and have had no time to
/ think of another. ! am really only now
feeling quite safe and satisfied"
as that because you are on an
American ship" suggested one of the
reporters. =.
J at may not be as safe as you think"
| laughed Lord Reading.
/ His lordship mentioned his visit TO
Washington with real pleasure, par
titularly the meeting at dinner Of the
members of the United States Supreme
/ Court. In conclusion, he voiced the
hope that he might soon visit America
again under more happy conditions,
b when his time would not be entirely
occupied by business.
Robert Bacon, former Ambassador TO
/ France; William 2. Summeryille, Basil
Bracket and p. A. s. Franklin, vice
president of the International Mer-
/ camille Marine, we're on hand to bid
| Lord Reading bon voyage.
! The st. Louis carried 705 passengers,
all cabins being taken, and is due to ar
rive at Liverpool one week from to-
day. She may be conveyed to port by
b British destroyers.
