Advances by America
Necessary, Paris Thinks

Paris. Sept. 1.-The French and BRIT
ish delegates who are to go to New
York TO confer with American bankers
on the abnormal exchange situation
will probably propose that the Ameri-
can bankers advance sums sufficient TO
stabilize the exchange market. IL -
understood that American securities
will be offered as a guarantee and that
the proceeds of the loan will be used
in settlement OF bills for American ex-
ports now due.
II is believed that the French and
British Treasury departments will find
il possible to acquire a sufficient
amount Of American securities By eX-
changing them for treasury bills or ma
tional bonds, on he basis Of realizing
prices in New York. or by simply bor-
rowing them from European holders.
The opinion is held here that Amer
lean hnanciers would prefer to adj
vance money On American securities
rather than have the securities sold
in the open market. Sales OF Amerl-
can obligations in the United States
in this manner would constitute an OBJ
vious means OF paying American bills,
and il is believed the depreciation on
account of heavy sales would be less
than the losses now incurred in eN
change transactions. Paris banks re-
Gently arranged among themselves TO
place in New York S50000.000 of Amer
lean stocks and bonds 10 be sold for
credit account.
Among bankers OF this city the opin-
ion is expressed that unless ehectivs
measures are taken quickly TO stabilize
the exchange market importations from
the United States TO Europe must fall
of to such a point that only war ma
terials will be bought. The French
will prefer to do without other impor-
tations rather than pay six francs TO
the dollar.

welt Announces Plan to
Aid National Defence.
PRIVATE VESSELS
WOULD BE INCLUDED
Coast Guard. Harbor Police and
Radio Operators To Be Part
of New Force.
From The rrihuns Rursau }

Washington. Sept. Acting Secre-
tary Of the Navy Franklin d. Roose-
welt announced to-day his plan for the
creation Of a naval reserve. II is be-
lieved Secretary Daniels will approve
IT, and that il will be put into effect
this fall. The plan calls for virtually
no action by Congress. and will require
an appropriation for clerical work
Fifty thousand men arc called for in
the acting Secretary's estimates, in
GLIDING retired officers, who are al
ready part Of the reserve created by
law; former enlisted men. numbering
about 10000: members of the coast
guard. lighthouse service. harbor po.
lice. etc. and volunteer civilians who
have had experience in some branch
only an appropriation for clerical work.
This reserve. il is expected will be
Of tremendous assistance in times of
war. Although the civilian volunteers
would not be available for service on
board regular warships, they could be
used 10 relieve seamen in the navy
yards. shore stations, etc. who then
could be placed with the fighting force.
To Enlist Radio Operators.
Il is planned also to enlist the SER
vices Of amateur radio operators, Of
whom IL is estimated 1000 would be
needed in war time, and others could
be pressed into service as local pilots.
signal men. gasolene motor experts and
helmSmen.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt intends
20 visit the second Plattsburg training
camp soon TO get an idea of the organ
ization necessary TO make similar
plan practicable for the navy. He be-
VOC
manpuvres next summer for volun-
teer reServists, giving them lnstruc-
ton on board reserve ships Of the
navy.
His plan further calls for mobil-
ization of private vessels, from mer-
chant ships down to motor boats. and
il il possible that the owners Of such
craft will be asked to assemble for in
struction as 10 how their vessels could
be used in time Of war a catalogue of
private vessels is being made h. the
Navy Department. including those
whose owners have volunteered for re-
serve duty and vessels that might be
commandcercd.
New Motor Boat OF Value.
Mr.. Roosevelt says type of motor
boat has appeared on the Atlantic
Coast which has become very popular
and would be of great value as sub
marine destroyer. Il has motor OF
35O-hors epower or more and a speed Of
more than thirty knots. and by reason
Of its shallow draft is in no danger
from mines or torpedoes.
The reserve plan is separate from
the naval militia, which is under the
control of the coast states.
The training manPuvres, according
TO present plans. would take place next
summer at three points on the At
lantic Coast Massachusetts Bay, Long
Island Sound and Chesapeake Bay
and at a point on the Pacific Coast not
vet determined.
Mr.. Roosevelt's plan dovetails with
Secretary Danielss scheme for naval
betterment. The Secretary VIII ask
for an increased personnel and will de
mand radical change in the enlist
ment system to obtain an increase IN
The number Of enlisted men.

BIG U-B0AT LOSS

American Surgeon Says De-

Forced Kaiser to Yield.
iBy Telegram 10 The Tribune J

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2.-"Germany's
nronnise to cease her submarine at
tacks on neutrals is not a diplomatic
concession, but indicates the tardy
recognition by the Kaiser Of the entire
failure Of his war zone policy de-
clared DR.. J. William White, University
of Pennsylvania professor, author and
traveller. who returned to-day after
several months in active practice with
the American hospital ambulance. at
Neuilly-sur-Seine. DR.. White has been
close observer Of events in England
and France and has written series OF
articles dealing with the progress and
probable result of the war.
81 have excellent reason to believe,
continued Or. White. that the num-
her OF German submarines available
for a continuance of the policy or muir
der and piracy has been so greatly
diminished by the destruction OF large
numbers oil them that cessation OF
their active use is being practically
forced on Germany az this moment. l

thentlc fhcts.
These facts show that by various
ingenious devices. with only few OF
which Germany is as yet familiar the
mortality among the German sub
marines recently has been enormous
and il seems 10 me preposterous under
the circumstances 10 speak OF the mere
nromise TO refrain from further assas-
sination as a great diplomatic triumph"
Referring to the probable continu-
anre Of the war, DR.. White said:
"There does not seem 10 be in the
minds Of any Of the Allies the slightest
idea OF finishing the war in any other
way than by conclusive victory over
Germany. I heard no peace talk either
