BROKERS' COMMISSION QUESTION
ON AMERICAN SECURITIESIS
CAUSE OF SURPRISE IN u. S.

writer proposes that the 5 per cent.
exchequer bonds needed to acquire the
American securities might be created
By an issuance to the public with the
intimation that subscribers could pay
for them either IN cash or approved
American or Canadian securities. IN
this way, he says, the issue would
serve the double purpose of obtaining
securities and cash for war purposes,
which would stave off the necessity
of issuing a fresh war loan that
would probably have to be issued on
a five per cent. basis, giving holders
of the previous Y per cent. loan the
right Of conversion into the new loan.
The holders of the previous war loans
would have no right of conversion in
case the issue We're in short term ex-

mission for the sales Of American Sc
curities under the plan Of Reginald
McKenna. chancellor of exchequer, for
the mobilization of such securities, has
taken the treasury authorities rather
by surprise. the point not having been
considered before hand al all, accord
ing to the financial column Of the
Times. Its Importance, however, is
fully recognized now that it has been
brought to notice. and it is stated that
some arrangements will be made to
meet the case.

Post suggests that the government

BRITISH WAR CORRESPONDENTS
DESCRIBE IN Detail THE BALKAN
SITUATION AND POSSIBLE MOVE

Saloniki. according to the Daily Mail
whose Saloniki correspondent says
that the retreat of the Entente allies
was so brilliantly carried out that the
large forces Of Bulgarians were unable
al any point to overtake and defeat
them In fact, the Bu!Sarians were sc
deceived by the rapidity of the ma
neuvers and the precision of the move
ments of the Entente troops that they
lost much time in bombarding certain
positions near Strumirza, which the
French forces had abandoned on the
preceding day.
According to the correspondents OF
the Times and the Morning Posts, the
Entente forces will halt on the line
from Karasuli, in northern Greece on
the Vardar river, to Kilindir, Greece.
which they will try to hold until the
Saloniki positions are fortified. This
line already IS fortified and there is a
strong British force, MADE up mostly
of cavalry. TO the north and north
east of Ki!indir an the Dorian railway.
The correspondent of the Morning Post
quotes the Bulgarian minister at Ath-
ems as saying that Gievgeli and Doir-
an, southern Serbia, both of which are
in the hands of the Teutonic allies, will
be surrendered to Greece
The Athens correspondent of the
Times believes the whole future posi-
ton turns on whether the Bulgarians
invade Greece. He says the Greek gov
eminent can be trusted to run no un-
necessary risks and ad6s that only
events that unite the sovereign. the
government and the people will force
f.refee tn abandon her neutrality.

TURCO-CERMAN
THREAT AGAINST
EGYPT GROWING

Rome Dec. 1.-THE Turco-German
threat against Egypt is becoming
more grave daily, in the belief of mill
tary men here.
The construction of a railway line
from Damascus to the Egyptian from
tier has been pushed with extraordi-
nary speed it is stated, and ii is eX-
pected that il will be finished by the
first of February, there being only so
miles more Of track to lay before the
Sinai peninsula is reached. This rail-
way, which has double tracks. is con-
sidered by military men to permit of
a concentration of half million men
in one month, together with the nee
essary supplies and ammunition, at
the Egyptian frontier.
About 100000 Ottoman troops, COM
manded and drilled by German off,
GERS, already have been concentrated
between Alexandretta, Aleppo and
HONS, it is stated.
Army engineers are laying miles of
tubes for carrying drinking water
across the desert and also are pro-
viding material for the construction Of
bridges with which to cross the Suez
canal.
German emissaries are said
to be beginning the Senousi to attack
Egypt from the west. while an at
tempt also is being made to induce the
Abyssinians to march into the Sudan.
German officers are reported to be
acting as propagandists, organizers
and military instructors.
The Rome newspapers ask if, after
the lesson of the Balkans. the En-
tente powers are going to allow them
selves to be taken by surprise in
