SAVING NEEDY
FROM LOAN SHARK,

Kansas City, NO.. Sept. 13.-To
save the needy from men who
charge excessive interest on loans
for small amounts, william VOL
ker,. q philanthrophist of this city,
provided the funds several years
ago with which the city opened a
municipal loan shop. AS start
money was lent at an interest rate
Of per cent a month and the free
legal aid bureau said to 1t that
those already in the net of the 30
per cent men" so called were freed
from their unjust obligations. The
needy were given an opportunity
to deposit their valuables with the
municipal loan shop at the low
rate Of interest. H..
The thing was tried as an ex-
pertinent, but the business pros
pered so that a reduction in the
interest rate to one and one-half
per cent has been ordered.
I'VE found there was no need to
charge per cent on pledge loans"
Mr.. Walker explained today. 1T is
not necessary to charge more than
enough to make expenses. II the
business justified 1t within the
next six months there will be an
other reduction. A year ago we
could not have done it, but the
large volume Of business since
then has put too much money in
the treasury, and our purpose Is
not to make money"
The office averages 1,500 loans a
month. About 100000 a month is
loaned out to persons in need OF
ready money, according to the flg-
Y1ras of Ralph Perry city loan
agent.

GERMANY SAYS u B0ATaGoMNdANDER
VIOLATED ORDERS BY MISTAKE

Washington, Sept. 13.-G Germany explanation of
the unsuccessful attempt to destroy the liner Orduna
July g. submitted to President Wilson in the form
of note that the submarine commander violated his
instructions, which were not to attack any liner but
because the weather he was unable to make out the
nationality or character of the Orduna
The Orduna was bound from Liverpool to New

inc until she was out of range.
To substantiate the statement that the German
commander was inclined to follow his orders it was
stated that he soon after allowed the steamer Norman
die carrying cargo of lumber, to pass unnolested
The German explanation may figure in the discussion
of the submarine issue between Lansing and Won

SAYS MEMORANDUM
WAS BIG SURPRISE
HOke Smith Declares Unless Order I'm
Council Is Modified Congress- WEI

Council is Modified Congress WEI
Act.
Washington, May 22.-As chairman
OF the Congressional committee Sc
lccted to study the subject Of cotton
exports, Senator Hoke Smith, of Gcor-
Sia, issued a statement tonight in re-
ply to the memorandum Of the British
foreign Office published Thursday. He
declared that the British communities
ton surprised all familiar with the
facts and astonishcd students OF inter
national law"
At the last session of Congress-"
he added, "thcre was strong scnti-
ment in favor of stopping the cxporta-
ton OF munitions Of war to the allies.
Unless this order in council is modified
when Congress meets, the expectation
Of munitions of war will be stopped,
and the action by Congress may go
much farther"
The Statement quotes the provisions
as to shipment of cotton contained i'm
the British announcement, also the
statement that these were described to
the British ambassador here by Amer
lean cotton men as "conccding all that
American interests could properly
ask, and the further statement that
the provisions OF tho arrangements
were acceptable TO the United States"
Il take issue with each of these
Statcmcnts,' Senator Smith continues.
NO representative OF American cotton
interests was authorized to make any
SIch agreement No representative of
American cotton interests made any
such agreement. 1t is strange that the
British government should have reach
ed the conclusion that this arrange
mcnt was acceptable to the United
States government.
The senator quotes from a commun-
ication handed to the State depart
ment October 26 by the British ambas-
sador, saying that the ambassador had
been advised by Sir Edward Grey that
cotton was and would remain on the
free list. On that assurance, he says,
American growers contracted for sales
in Europe in January and February for
delivery III the subsequent months.
For Great Britain to seize cotton
after the first of March under these
circumstances" he added, "bccamc an
act especially severe and will subject
Great Britain TO heavy damages. AL
most entirely us a result of the illegal
action OF Great Britain, cotton has de-
creased in price over two cents a
pound in Great Britain and in the
United States"
Concluding his statement, Senator
Smith says:
Let me hope that the British gov
ernmcnt, in accordance with the cor
dial good will which has existed be-
tween the people Of the two countries
for more than Il hundred years, will
cease disregarding International law
to the injury of our people"
