GERMAN BANK
THWARTL
National Institution Plan
ned to Counterfeit
Allies Influence.

Impetus for launching a German
American National Bank was given
last night by several thousand Ger
msn-Americans and their sympathiz-
ers at a mass meeting in the Amster-
dam Opera House, called by the Amer
lean Truth Society to protest against
the proposed Anglo-French war loan
The announcement was made by Bern
hard II. Ridder, managing editor OF
the "New Yorker Staats-Zeitung.' lie
severely criticised the American bank
ers interested in the loan to the Allies.
eff we want to maintain our position
we must fight for it, Mr.. Rider said.
IF our banks see tit to loan our money
in a way Objectionable to US we have
the alternative of establishing German
American national bank. We are now
confronted with the happr task of kill
ing the loan and of forming power
full German-American bank at the same
time
In conclusion Mr.. Ridder said the
proposed billion dollar loan TO the Al
lies is as secure as the snoring OF the
new subway. He also prophesled that
II made. it would be just as disastrous.
r. s. Mccain, editor of water
ways and Commerce" a monthly mag
azine, acted as chairman and opened
the meeting with a brief outline OF its
object.
There is one lesson which the Brit
ish firm, Rufus isaacs Co. has
learned since they have been in this
country. That is that American public
opinion does by no means coincide with
that expressed by the American press
in general" Mr.. Mccain said.
jeremiah OLeary. pesident OF the
American Truth Society. threw a bomb
into the meeting by announcing that
the American Truth Society had de-
cided to institute a libel suit against
a New York paper for "willfully mis-
representing the reports Of recent
meeting held by the American Truth
Society" Mr.. OLeary explained that
the paper had reported one Of the
speakers of that meeting as calling
President Wilson Judas"
This was a dastardly lie Mr..
OLeary shouted. "and / will prove in
court that the reporter who wrote this
story invented this Incident
James Franklin Trautman. intro
duced as "a newspaper editor of Mil
waukee." read a newspaper clipping,
which, he said, was an editorial from
Canadian newspaper. II pointed out
that obtaining the Anglo-French loan
in this country would materially ce-
ment the friendship between England
and the United States and make it i'm
possible for this country to allow the
British and her allies to be licked"
THAT is just exactly the situation"
Mr.. Trautman declared. For this rea-
son II is the duty of every fair minded
American TO protest against this loan.
which will be not only unneutral. but
also very dangerous TO our America"
He asserted that the declarations of
Rockefeller and Ford that they would
not participate in the loan and would
not tolerate their banks TO participate
in IL had shaken the bottom out of the
Anglo-French borrowing commission"
"The bankers may give them the
money" he said. "but the people will
see TO it that the subscriptions will 90

CAR CONCRATULATES
FRANCE ON SUCCESS
Poincare, in Reply, Says World
Admires Russian Valor.

Paris, Sept 28.-Emperor Nicholas
telegraphed today to President Poin-
care, from the General Headquarters
of the Russian army, his congratuls-
tions on the French success in the
Champagne region. He said:
"On learning the news Of the great
success won by the glorious French
army take the occasion TO address to
you as we'll as to your valiant army my
warmest fluctuations and most sincere
wishes for the future unalterable pros
-perity of France" -
The French President replied; 81
thank your Majesty for the felicia
tions addressed to our armies en- the
occasion Of the fine success they have
lust won with the cooperation Of their
allies over the common enemy. beg
your Majesty to accept my warmest
compliments for the magnificent valor
of which the Russian troops daily give
example and which compels the admit
ration of the entire world

Merits Loans Sole Hope.
"Of course, this may be because he
il less intelligent, but, on the other
hand. he may have better information
than we have.
There are two sides TO the loan.
Internationally it would stimulate
lines Of commerce in which we are an
Interested, but If it is TO go In the west
il will have TO be on Its merits as
straight investment proposition nen
the proposal is put up TO US we Chi-
cago bankers will lay 1t before our
boards OF directors, and none OF US
will know until then what Will De conc
about it. It would be only the widest
kind Of guess to say how much OF tne
loan Chicago or the Middle west VIII
take" .
self and those who have been closely
associated with il in the negotiations
in the East are equally in doubt about
what part the West will play. What
Ia regarded as the extraordinarily hand
LAG per cent. is expected to carry the
day. and the yield to the underwriting
syndicate of nearly per cent Will. 1T
ia hoped, bring about the cooperation
OF the distributing houses. 1t IS an
open secret that the high yield to IN
vestors was determined upon almost
entirely because of the attitude of the
West toward the loan.
I'VE wanted to run no chance, SAID
a member of the mission to-day, "of
the bonds selling at a discount from
the offering price" And there was a
hint that later on new loan might DE
sought, if the present one was well
absorbed.
Lamont Explains Plan.
At $3.50 O'Clock, at the Blackstone
Hotel, Thomas W. Lamont, of j. p.
Morgan e. Co., had met about thirty
five representatives of the leading bond
houses OF Chicago. including men from
the bond departments of several OF the
banks. He explained the terms of the
statement that Lord Reading was to
give out later, and told of the stimuli
taneous meetings that were occurring
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, so that the bankers and
distributing houses In all those centres
should be able to start simultaneously
with the project.
"The plan" said Mr.. Lamont, "is, in
effect, to organize the whole country
into separate districts; for instance,
J. P. Morgan & Co. will have associated
with them as syndicate managers and
rs issuing houses in the Chicago dis
trict all those houses and banks here
that signify their desire to take part
in this operation. The local syndicate
managers in this and all other districts
will, in turn, appoint a small executive
committee, which will keep In touch
with New York and with all the other
centres, so that the whole plan can be
handled as q unit"
There was a unanimous opinion ex-

Great Britain and France. To this it
has attached terms which mean yield
to the investor Of almost 5lz per cent
per annum, and carry with them a con-
version privilege calculated, upon the
return Of normal conditions, to prove
of distinct value TO the holder Of this
bond.
"The interests Of the small investor
are also consulted in the decision
which the commissioners have arrived
at to issue the bonds in denominations
as low as 800 and TO allow subscrib b.
ers to make instalment payments for
the loan. II ia to be noted that, az
the commission has stated, this is an
external loan, free from all present or
future English and French taxes. II
is proposed by the commission that the
proceeds of the loan be handled so as
In no way TO disturb our own money
markets, and 10 that end the general
plan will be to leave the cash realized
from the bonds on deposit with bank
ing institutions which become members
of the syndicate throughout the United
States.

pressed at the meeting, said Mr.. La
mont. that the arrangement 70 extend
credit TO Americas customers-"to al
low valuable customers TO give deferred
payments for commodities purchased
as one Of those present put twas
absolutely necessary for the preserva-
ton of the American export trade. Sew
eral Of those present spoke of the fact
that with so much grain movement
centring in Chicago this whole dis
trict was especially interested IN the
success Of the credit.
There is another meeting called Tor
tomorrow to put the arrangement IN
definite shape for the Chicago centre.
1t is expected that an executive COM
mittee to arrange for the underwriting
will then be called.
Ii was noted that Lord Reading's
statement referred to munitions OF
war. 1t was explained that this was
because there could be no sharp line
Of demarcation drawn between these
and other purchases under the Allies
credit. Anything that tends TO staoil-
ize exchange automatically makes mu-
nitions' purchases or any other pur-
chases here for the allied countries
easier to pay for.
incidentally, IL became hno"n uui III 5
the afternoon that Jacob H. Schitf, of
+ Kuhn, Loeb & Co., had told bankers
interested in the loan that he had
taken his coat off and was going to
do all he could" When the fotation
was we'll under way, he said, the Ger
man opposition would fade away.
It is planned to have payments for
the loan made by subscribers in three
equal instruments, the last probably to
come on January Is, though this will
depend on the time it takes to organize
the underwriting synd cate. The bonds
will be listed not only on the New
York Stock Exchange but throughout
the United States Because Of this and
because of the 500 denominations. it

BEST THEATRE.

Tonorrow, "The Voice in the Fog '' A lively story, probable consistent and withal sensational serves as the foundation of this feature. Donald Brian in the leading part gives a masterly performance. He joins great histrionic skill to marked per- sonal magnetism and wins his audi ence from the very start Scarcely less clever was the work of Frank A. Connor in the role of the villain. He is a polished and a probable vil- lain and in spite of all his wicked ness no audience will withhold it's admiration of his daring and his re- sourcefulness.
 The adventures of an impecunious lord. the plottings of"a gambler and criminal are woven into a very pretty love story, in which Adda Gleason as kitty" Killigrew," the American heiress, figures to decided advantage The development of the plot gives the Lasky directors vel come opportunity for charming real ism in the setting and for the intro auction of those life-like types to which in every Lasky play we look forward as a matter Of course.

 of Interest.

Little Rock, Nov. 10.--I. II. Nak- dimen of the City National hEk, Fort Smith. has submitted to Presi- dent Futrall of the University of Arkansas an offer which has been gratefully received by Inc teachers. He offers to lend them S20,C00 or more on their personal notes, w'th their warrants as collateral, at o per cent. Since none of the warrants must be carried full ycar. thr aV- craze loss to the teachers will be about per cent, The average loss last year was 10 to t2 per cent. There has been no money in the state traas- ury te pay these warrants since last July. Mir. Nakdimen says he does not regard 1t as a money making tran saction, as the profit to the bank will he almost nothing, but that he is only trying to help the university meet an emergency for Which they are not responsible.

BILLY BRYAN NOW ASSAILS WILSON
 AND ROOSEVELT
Man Who Deserted Post in Crisis Says World Needs
 Another Pentecost.

Washington, Nov. 10.-William J. Bryan today added a chapter to his disagreement with President Wilson over the question of national defense by issuing a formal statement in comment on the presidents recent quotation from the Scriptures in support of his advocacy of military preparedness. The same quotation had been used by Colonel Roosevelt in a recent article.
 'It is not surprising that Mir. Roosevelt should consult the Old Testament rather than the New" said Mr Bryan's statement, ''be- cause he classes Christ with the mol lycoddles, but why should the presi- dent, Presbyterian elder, pass over the New Gospel, in which love is the chief cornerstone?
 Tt is all right for Mir. Roosevelt to sound the trumpet, because all col OTIS are rcd to him, but the president is a man of peace and he is in a po- sition to know that no one is threat ening to attack us. It is surprising, first, that in looking up Bible author ity he should ignore the teachings of Christ, and, second, that he should select a passage that refers not to preparation against imaginary dan gers. but immediate action to meet an attack actually made. What the world needs today is Pentecost, not an Arma geddOn.'
