BRITISH AFTER MORE CASH
SEEK TO OBTAIN 100000 AD-
OPTIONAL CREDIT.
Bankers Committee in America and
London Reach Formation of
Terms of Issue.

New York.-Plans to extend sup
Elemental credits to the British
have assumed definite form. A COM
mittee of American bankers is being
formed to cooperate with a commit
tee representing London financial in
stitutions. Forms of the new credit
have been narrowed to two.
The first plan is the acceptancy by
trust companies and state banks of
finance bills drawn by London banks
and bankers, of six months maturity,
at between 4 and 5 per cent. Such
bills have been taken by some trust
companies in this city.
The second plan contemplates TAX
ing by national banks Of British &C
ceptance of bills drawn in this coun-
try on account of exports of commo-
dities. Such bankers acceptances
may u nine months and be taken
by national banks, which in turn, may
rediscount them with federal reserve
banks. The interest rate on these
nine-month bills will be slightly low
er than on those of shorter maturity.
The British committee has said that
it is not feasible to secure these new
British borrowings by deposit of
American securities held in Great
Britain as collateral, but that the
British are willing to secure these
forms of obligation by British govern
ment bonds. New York bankers have
accepted that proposal.
The amount of the new credits will
certainly reach $500, 900, 900 soon, and,
according to bankers, will likely run
to $500, 0O0, 900 before the end of the
war.

BRITISH METHODS
ARE mINDEFENS|BLE
BLOCKADE DENOUNCED BY SEC
RETARY LANSING IN NOTE
TO GREAT BRITAIN.
U. S. WILL SUBMIT NO LONGER
Three Points Emphasized in Long
Document Will Either Cause
cessation of Practices or
Open Break.

Washington.-The United States in
its latest note to Great Britain cover
ing exhaustively British interference
with American trade since the begin
ming of the European war, declares
that the so-called blockade instituted
by the allies against enemy countries
on March II, is ineffective, illegal
and indefensible." Notice is served
that the American government "can-
not submit to the curtailment of it's
neutral rights" and it cannot with
complacence suffer further subordina-
ton of its rights and interests"
Ambassador Page to whom the note
was sent by special messenger for
delivery to the London foreign office,
was instructed by Secretary Lansing
ito impress most earnestly" upon the
British government that the, United
States must insist that the relations
between it and his majesty's govern
ment be governed, not by a policy of
expediency, but by those established
rules of international conduct to
which Great Britain in the past has
held the United States to account
when the latter nation was a bellig,
erent engaged in a struggle for ma
tional existence
The note is nearly $4,000 words
long, and the three points emphasized
are;
1. 1t is incumbent upon the
United States government to give the
British government notice that the
blockade, which they claim to have
instituted against the enemies Of
Great Britain under the orders in
council of March II, cannot be rec
ognized as a legal blockade by the
United States.
2. The United States government
feels that it cannot reasonably be ex
pected to advise it's citizens to seek
redess before tribunals British prize
and appellate courts) which are, in
its opinion, unauthorized by the un
restricted application of international
law to grant reparation, nor refrain
from presenting their claims directly
to the British government through
diplomatic channels.
8. The United States has no Other
course but to contest seizures of YES
sells upon coniectural suspicion ant
the practice of bringing them into
port for the purpose, by search OF
otherwise, of obtaining evidence, fol
the purpose of justifying prize pro
c~eedings, Of the carriage Of contra
band or of breaches of the order o
March II.

BRITAIN RAISES AGENCY TAX
American Firms With Foreign Con-
nections Must Pay Income Levy
on Net Earnings.

London, Eng.-The chancellor of
the %exchequer, Reginald McKenna,
promulgated an order under which
agencies Of American mercantile
firms operating in Great Britain will
be compelled to pay an income tax
on the basis Of their total earnings
In Great Britain. Hitherto these
agencies have only paid an income
tax on the profits expended in this
country.
The new tax may have the effect
of discouraging the importation of
commodities which in war times are
considered Injuries. Armour & Co.,
the Standard Oil Co. and similar
firms duly incorporated here and pay
ing an income tax as such, will not
be affected.

however, that Whitlock will refuse to

REQUESTS ALL NATIONS TO
STATE REASONS FOR PRES
EMIT POSSIBILITIES.
CONSTANTINE CHANGES MIND
Monarch Knows His Tenure is Doubt.
full If He ~Disregards Wishes of
the People-To Take a
Vote On It.

Berlin.-Taking as its text AS
quith's and Brands speeches, Vor-
waerts, in an editorial entitled, War
to the End" calls on all the govern
ments, including the German, to dis
card rhetorical generalities, come into
the open and declare what are the
concrete objects for which the ma
tions are fighting, as the first essen
tial step on the path of peace.
Premier Asquith's expression of
the objects of the war last fall was
lacking in clearness and full of
phrases" it says, but, at any rate,
1t was more specific than his assur.
ance now, that England is determined
to continue the war to a successful
end and exhaust all her resources to
attain the common highest goal.
Less hazy is Frances new man,
BRAND, in stating the object of driv-
ing the enemy out of the occupied
provinces, including Alsace-Lorraine
but BRAND also soon loses himself in
clouds of rhetoric, when he says that
France will not make peace till JUS.
tice is re-established by victory and
all the guarantees of a lasting peace
obtained.
THE defense of the Fatherland
freedom, justice, culture-all that nc
longer suffices today. These are
words which each can interpret as
he likes, and it is really high time
to speak more intelligently and to
the point.
1T seems almost as though both
parties to the war fear to betray theil
plans to each other, for it is not only
France and England that shroud their
war goal and peace conditions in fog
The German government is no less
reticent."

A Canadian Invasion.
(Railway Age Gazette. )

For the first time since 1901 steel rails are now being quoted openly at less than $2S per ton. This basic price was stablished for Bessemer rails at the time of the formation of the United States steel corporation and has been maintained by the cor poraton and independent mills alike since that date.
 Very recently the Algoma steel company a Cana dian corporation, has entered the market in this country, quoting open hearth rails at s25 per ton on board cars at mills, or $27.6O on board cars at Chicago, as com rared with $30 at the mills quoted hz the manufacturers in the United States. This creates very interest ing situation in the steel market, and at least three roads, the Pere Mar quette, the Big Four and the Toledo and Ohio Central, have given this company rail orders at these prices. The reasons why the Algoma steel company is able to quote this price on rails are evident.
 The European war has created a business depression in Canada much more acute than in the United States, with the result that the rail require ments of the Canadian railways are materially reduced. The steel com pany is therefore seeking new busi- ness at reduced price to prevent the closing down of the mill. The fact that there Is no tariff on ore moving from the United States into Canada, ard the recent removal of the tariff on steel products into the United States now enables that company to direct it's attention effectively to this country. Situated as it is on Lake Superior, it is in a position to deliver rails by water at any of the lake ports, and it may therefore become serious competitor of the mills in this country.
 While as a business matter 1t may be expedient to reduce the price on the rails delivered in this country to maintain the output, it will be inter esting to note whether the Canadian roads do not demand a similar re- duction. It will also be interesting to observe the attitude that the steel companies In this country will assume toward this new competition and the extent to which the roads in this country will avail themselves of this reduction in price. and the effect, if any, on prices in this country.
