SHOWS U. s. BELIEVES
 ALLIES WILL WIN
London Daily Mail Declares in Com menting on Great Demand for
 Loan to England and France.

London, Oct. 4, HAY a. m.-Lon- oon newspapers, which at first were inclined to complain at the terms on which the Anglo o-French loan is being raised in the United States, are now less critical, pointing out that the great demand for the load already re- ported from America has a definite moral effect.
 "It shows, as nothing else could, not only that Americans want us to win, but also that they believe we shall win,'' says the Daily Mail.
 It is now being explained that con- ditions here and in the United States are different; that money commands 8 higher price in America; that American underwriting syndicates are accustomed to large and even ultra liberal commissions, and that coun- try as large as the United States calls for higher advertising costs and dis tribution expenses Tn short the bar gain is regarded as a better one on being studied more closely. The Times, which last week criti- c:sed the terms, now says: We are rot sure what a British syndicate would expect for spreading a loan of $500, 100000 for the United States among investors all over Europe-a geographical area no larger than that which the American syndicate has to care for.'
 It is expected there will be some discussion of the terms of the loan in parliament, but the more favorable attitude of the London press is re- garded as significant.

Shelving The Tariff.
(Exchange.l

It is reported on what is said to be, good authority that President Wilson has decided to finance his scheme of preparing our army, navy and nation for eventualities by means of a bond issue rather than a new revision of the tariff. Opinion will differ as to the wisdom of such a decision but many high tariff opponents will be of the opinion that it is best not to com plicate the plans for national and rational defense now by bitter fight over tariff schedules. Two things must be done and the president prob- ably appreciates the fact. The is- sue of free sugar should not be pressed in view of the deficit that is staring the government treasury in the face and some sort of practical legislation should be worked out and given legislative approval that will prevent this country becoming the dumping grounds for foreign goods at cut prices after the world war Is ended. ~
 It is said that if the presidents plan for defense is not so radical that it will lead to protest on the part of the taxpayers, yet it is sufficiently comprehensive to give a great impetus to the upbuilding of the army &nd navy toward that formidable strength. actual and potential, that means as- sured safety for the republic. A united nation will stand back of such a plan, where it would balk on one that calls for extravagant and un- limited expenditure.

An Era of Health.
(Norwich Record )

If any one doubts that this is an era of health propaganda he must, in deed, be oblivious of what is going on about him. Municipal, state and national agencies are using forces funds at their disposal to further the interests of public hygiene. Educa- tional influences are directing their energies to the spread of the lessons of procurable health in public print and in documents of both official and unofficial character. Novels and short stories, the literature of biography and travel, the platform and even the pulpit are proclaiming the gospel of health far and wide. The medical profession, more enthusiastic if not more interested than any other group iE the promotion and outcome of the modern hygiene movement, may well stop from time to time to inquire about the sanity of the methods of the propaganda. The religious doc Urine of past ages involved the threat of harm; it inculcated fear of the de- struction or danger that was sure to follow the violation of the law. This dismal attitude has long since been replaced by religion of love, of up- lift and joyous anticipation. In the health propaganda, likewise, much of the pessimistic attitude, unconsciously perhaps, has been introduced in the past. The fear of disease has been held over the heads of the people. Rarely have we seen the more appro- priate spirit of the modern better health" movement better expressed than in a recent pamphlet of the Life Extension Institute. Tt is not a fear of illness or of death that we should encourage, but love health, a sense of responsibility for the care of our bodies, desire for bodily endurance and efficiency and full achievement. If the mind is fixed on these ideals, and the already known means of ap- preaching them are utilized, the need less miseries that embitter the lives of so many may be left to take care of themselves. 1t is not so much necessary to fight disease as to culti- vate health for the happiness, con- tentment and moral gain that 1t brings" There is something unusual ly optimistic and buoyant In such words. They embody thepsychologic cue to comfort and happiness for many a patient, without implying that 'man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death," or that health is not a condition of matter, but of mind" Tc inspire a love of health does not mean to exclude the great body of scientific knowledge which is the best that science can offer today regarding disease, or to replace medicine by crude metaphysics. The ardent love of health insures a mind receptive to the lessons of modern medicine.

LICENSE BALLOT SHORT.
Temperance Workers at Andover Rush to, Willimantic for Them.

Andover, Oct. "A dearth of bal lots among the temperance workers for voting on the license question was the cause of 8 mile-a-minute trip of Former Rep. B. Parker Stearns and Rev. J. J. Lockett to willimantic and back to procure the necessary ballots. When the absence of the ballots was discovered voting was already in progress. Messrs Lockett and Stearns procured an automobile and shot away to Willimantic, ten miles dis tant for the ballots and returned with them in about twenty minutes.
 Andover is voting on license for the first time in years and the temperance advocates have been working hard to swing it from license into the dry column.

which Bulgaria undoubtedly is, the government which is said not to have supported the premier with a suffi- cient majority in the Sobranje would not be able to remain in power. Since the cabinet of M Radoslavoff took over the affairs of the country over two years ago it's position never has been shaken. After all there is nothing provocative in it's policy for any one, and it is astonishing to see the attacks made in part of the foreign press against the attitude of the Bull garian government"

 PredOminance in Balkans.
 The foreign office explains that the fact that Russia alone sent an ulti- mathm to Bulgaria was due to vol untary recognition on the part of her allies of this nations predominance in the Balkans and of her moral claim upon the gratitude of the Balkan peo- pies.
 Whether England, France and Italy will withdraw their representatives at Sofia in case Russia takes this ac- tion has not yet been decided Rus sia felt compelled to make this move, in view of the failure of all efforts tc bring pressure through other means on King Ferdinand. It is the view of the Russian government that the recall of it's minister would convince the Bulgarian people that King Fredi- l hands policy is dangerous.
