London, Sept. 30.-The British are
battering the third line of the Ger

French are maintaining their often

the Argonne apparently have been
unable to make important gains and

some quarters. A short breathing

London View Of Loan Sc
cured in America.
COST WILL BE ENORMOUS
Twenty Million Dollars Is Paid for the
Privilege of Buying American Prod
ucts, While the Interest for Five
Years viii Be s125, 5,o00, 900.

New York, Sept 3O.-Because the
credit loan bonds will be sold four
points less than their par value Great
Britain and France will have placed
to their credit here not $500,OO0,00O,
but s4S0,O0O,0 900. In other words, the
two nations are paying s20,000,000 for
the privilege of buying American
products at top of the market prices.
The $40, 200, 900 will buy this privilege,
1t is estimated. for only few months,
possibly for year, when the credit
probably will be exhausted.
Furthermore, the two countries
will pay in five years s125,000,000 in
interest.
A total cost of s145, 100000 will be
shown when the final bill is paid.
London, Sept. 30.-The definite an
nouncement of the terms on which the
Anglo-French loan is to be issued in
the United States was about in line
with the expectations of British finan-
ciers. Though the interest Is a shaae
higher than had been looked for origi-
nally in some quarters the general
opinion is that heroic measures were
necessary to remove the deadlock in
exchange transactions which had been
allowed to continue for so long.
Ii is felt here that the advantage
rests with America in obtaining such
a good rate of interest and facilities
for its export trade, although England
also reaps benefit by the postpone
ment for at least five years of pay
ment OF the debt for goods received.
Belief is expressed in banking and
exchange circles that further meas
ures will be necessary to bring the
rate more nearly to a normal figure

A New Sign of Surrender.

If Ger nan soldier finds it necessary
to surrender to Frenchman, he neither
waves O white flag nor gives up his
sword. He sits down and takes off his
boots. The Germans are much better
shod than the French and a French
soldier invariably forces an exchange of
shoes if he is fortunate enough to cap
ture German. The Germans have
learned this and several bodies onl find
ing it necessary to surrender have seated
themselves and begun taking off their
shoes at the approach of the French. -
