House of Commons Hears
Discussion of Brjtain's
Financial Condition.
NEED FOR ECONOMY
Lioyd-t.eorge Says Idea to Aid Wepk
States Finds "Greater Favor On
Continent Than in England"
sources Declared Good.

London, Feb. 23.-This was money
day in the house Of commons.
Chancellor Lloyd-Gcorgo again took
up the question Of the financial re
sources of the allies, and made it
clear that it was largely upon their
superiority in money that they re-
lied for final victory over the Ger
mans. While he admitted that the
question of a Joint loan by all of the
allies for the benefit Of the weaker
states was being seriously considered,
he said that this idea found greater
favor Oh the continent than here
Sir Thomas Whitaker opened the
discussion by moving resolution APP
proving the arrangements made by
the chancellor of the eXchequer, with
the finance ministers of France and
Russia
There must he said, be mutual
confidence and complete cooperation
among the allies; also there must be
great national economy, for we will
be subject to a tremendous financial
strain. BY aiding Russia, we are
laying the foundation for a CONNER
cial entente which should last for
generation.'
Austin Chamberlain declared he
was ready TO give cordial support to
the arrangement made by the allies
conference. On the whole. he said,
it was wise resolution. which the
British minister of finance could we'll
assent to.
Lloyd-George cited the fact that the
government had raised $1OO,0OO,OOO IN
London on six and twelve months
bills, which had been considerably
over subscribed, as proof that the re-
sources of the country were not in
critical condition.

MANY ARE
EN- TERINC
FOR PARADE

/ Entries are coming in several every
/ day for the big flower parade and
trades procession to be held here on
the last day of the county fair, ac-
cording to DR.. Martha Bledsoe, presi-
dent of the Business Women's club, in
charge of the big closing event of the
fair DR.. Bledsoe declares that prac.
tically all the mercantile houses in
town are to have floats on the occas-
ion, and that the interest being taken
in the affair by others is indicative of
much bigger parade than the one
held last year. An addition expected
to attract considerable attention is
that for roller skaters.
The committee is especially anxious
that all who will be in the parade take
ont entry numbers just as soon as pos
sible. This will do away with much
confusion. No entries will be accept
ed when the parade begins, as was
done last year.
The following persons have been an
nounced as chairmen of the commit
tees. Anyone wishing to enter should

Trend Of Trading Yesterday.

Chicago. Sept S.-Wheat prices
took an upward turn today Opening
prices which ranged from lac to 11ac
higher with September at 93isc to 94c
and December 901ac to 81 1-Sc. were
followed by a slight reaction and then
a fresh advance.
Corn rose with wheat. The market
was also affected by the Iowa state
report showing per cent loss in the
crop condition during August. After
opening unchanged to 3-Sc off prices
scored a moderate general advance
Wet weather gave firmness to oats.
Trade, however, was not large
Provisions felt the influence of un-
settled quotations for hogs. The mar
ket was nervous within a narrow
range.
Subsequently. although wet weather
counted against the bulls, absence Of
export demand led to setback in
wheat. The close was firm, 7-Sc to 1c
to 7-sc net higher. with September
73 7-Sc and December 81 1-sc to 81 lie.
Later bearish reaction occurred in
corn owing to the prevalent high tenn
peratures over the entire belt.

St, was drowned in St. Joseph's lake
at Notre Dame Thursday morning at
II o'clock. The body was recovered

According to the stories Of eye wit
nesses. young Reiter had stepped down
upon a ladder into the water from a
pier. While standing there he re-
marked that he would not go clear

AS the words left his lips, he doubled
in pain, according to witnesses, and
went under the water. The body did
not return 10 the surface
Reiter was a member of a party OF
altar boys of st. Pa(rick's church who
were having a picnic on the shores OF
the lake a number of the boys went
into the water, and Reiter, although
he could not swim. was asked 10 join
them. 1t was while standing on the
pier ladder, with his body half in
the water that his hold released and
he slipped into the lake.
One OF the boys dived after the
body when 1t failed to return to the
surface. He caught hold of the boys
clothes but was not strong enough to
lift il 10 the surface. Several of the
other members of the party ran to
the college grounds shouting for as
sistance, and several students made
their way 20 the scene, among them
Leslie Yeager. who is an expert SWIM
mer. After repeated dives he located
the body 10 feet northwest of the
pier and it was raised to the surface.

and the police worked over the body
for SO minutes After two tsnks of
oxygen had bee exhausted hope Of
reviving him was abandoned.

Kern Sees Slight
Chance For War
Against Mexicdns

While in South Bend Thursday
as a member OF the Indiana dem

W. Kern in a short interview
stated that he did not believe
there is much possibility OF the
United States becoming involved
in war with Mexico. The sena-
tor declined 10 discuss conditions
at length. stating that the situa-
tion is at present rather too deli
cate, and he is not in a position
to speak on the question.
However. he permitted it TO be
said that the possibility Of war
with the Mexican nation is small.
There are two reasons for
this" he said. First. we are not
seeking war with any one and
second, there Is nobody down
there 10 fight. Although Mexico
is a large nation, still it could
not cope with the United States.
Ii would be rather prepOsterous
for us to send an army of say
100000 men down there, which
would be pTOba bly, necessary.
