ACTS ON MOTOR DUTIES

=, Pa>Scn Measure Propused
by Mcl<cnnu.

LONDON. September 3o.--By vote
Of ia 10 s, the House OF Commons
to-day passed the motor import duties
proposed In the budget presented by
Reginald Mckenna, Chancellor Of the
.NcheGuer.
Mr.. Mckenna Withdrew the proposed
import duties Oh hats and plate glass.
Premier Asquith pleaded with tho
uncompromisinG free traders not to
force division on the motor duties
proposal. but his plea was futile. In
the course OF Il brief speech the Pre-
mier said that government regarded
the import taxes as an integral part
of the budget. which represented the
unanimous Judgment of the united
Cabinet. He thought his own free
trade record above suspicion, and il
lie considered the budget to prejudice
the cause OF free trade he would not
subscribe 20 Il. he declared.
These import taxes, the Premier said.
were being imposed TO regulate foreign
exchanges. and anything proposed In
these abnormal times could not he
taken as an example OF the kind OF
taxation that wonld ne imposed in time
Of peace. The object OF the budget
he added. was to produce revenue.
diminish unnecessary consumption and
check superfluous imports.

LOAN AROUsES GREAT
INTEREST IN GERMANY

BERLIN September ~ (by wireless
TO Sayvil!e).-The Anglo French loan
which is being raised in the United
states has aroused great interest in
Germany.
Leading fnancicrs OF Berlin" says
the Overseas News Agency, agree that.
although British dispatches leave some
features Of the loan in doubt. tho con-
ditions are very unfavorablc for Eng
land and France. 4 few years ago no
one In either country would have
thought it possible that such a loan
would be- issued in the United States AT
as and rcdecmnhle in five years. This
means that England and France are
paying about per cent interest.
1T is generally believed also that, in
addition to the bonus Of > per cent paid
to the syndicate Of underwriters. other
bonuses will be given, particularly. ac-
cordinG to the American custom, to the
leading house.
"ln some quarters II is remarked that
if tho loan is offered for public sub
scriDtion II will be strange kind of
neutrality. on the part OF country
which also finances sales of war ma
tcrial to Germauy's enemies.
The general impression is that the
financial situation of England and
France is such as TO leave them no
choice. This Is indicated by the fact
that 2-per-cent bonus was given to
tho syndicate"

NEW YORK. September 3O.-That
wireless telephone communication from
the Atlantic seaboard to Hawaii. 81 dis
lance of $500 miles, is now an accom-
plished fact, was announced to-day at
the offices of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company. Exceeding
even in success the transmission of the
human voice from Arlington, Va, to
Mare Island. Cal, distance of $500
miles. accomplished yesterday, it was
stated that subsequent experiments
had resulted in successful telephone
communication between Arlington and
the naval radio station at Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaii. The distance over which
this wireless communication was held
is greater than the distance from New
York to London. Paris, Berlin or Rome.
The voice had to travel over the whole
of the United States. a distance of $500
miles. before II encountered the moro
simple wireless conditions which exist
over large bodies of water. For the
purpose of this test, ii was stated that
the receiving was done OH small wire
