the loan OF half a million dollars or
tmore, was not to be pressed by the
;commission. tits believed now that If
credit Is secured for other commodi-
ties, there will be no difficulty In Sc
curing ammunition. It is believed the
actual cash will not leave the banks
at all. The plan is to have each bank
make a book entry OF the amount
which 1t will contribute to the loan
and credit this to the New York banks
financing it. Small amounts OF this,
may be called for on pro-rata basis,
but this will flow back into the banks
as fast as spent, SO that there will not
be any one time any large amount OF
money taken from the institutions. It
is planned to call for perhaps % per-
cent Of the loan at the outset. This
will save interest charges to the allies
governments and will prevent any
strain on American finances. Further
amounts will then be called for later.
It has been suggested that the notes
carry conversion feature, which will
permit them to be turned into long
time government bonds.
Bigger Flags.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-Germany
today advised American ship owners
to paint bigger American flags on
ships that traverse the war zone. The
advice was communicated by Ambas-
sador Bernstorff to the state depart
ment which issued this statement: !:
'"The department is in receipt OF. q
from the German am
bassador to the effect that he has
been advised by his government that
merchant vessels which desire to show
their neutral allegiance by painting
their national colors on the side, often
make the mistake OF having these dis
tinctive signs so small that, they can
not be made out from distance
"The German government suggests
therefore, that the foregoing be
brought to the attention Of American
ship owners in their own interests"
