Further advices regarding the arrest of
Prince and Princess Won RnGolin state that
they have not been formally arrested, but
have been banished to their estate at Poeeu,
from which they are not allowed to leave.
The reason for their banishment is that the
Princess, who is related to the Prnssan
family Of Radziwill and the French family of
TalleyTand-P erigordra manifested sentiments
which were resented in high circles in Ger
many, and the Prince aroused equal enmity
when he took her part.

Chancellor emphasized that besides being u
business transaction, he appealed to the
patriotism of the country to use its gigantic
resources to carry on the war successfully
for Great Britain and her Allies. The ho,d-
es of both the old wal loan and consols,
have the right to convert their securi-
ties into the new loan, the conversion of con-
soils to be on the basis of seventy five pounds
consols for fifty pounds of the new loan.
The time will come, he said, when the ne
oessity for the further loan will be apparent,
and a prompt decision is required, it is not
desirable that q big loan should be kept
hanging over the market. The total realiz-
ed deficit between revenue and expenditure
until Saturday was five hundred and eigh-
teen million pounds, while the daily war
expenditures IS now nearly three million
pounds and is still rising. The new loan
has been issued in small bonds of from five
pounds to twenty five pounds and may be
obtained through the Post Office. If a
higher rate of interest should be offered for
subsequent war loans, the holders of this
loan will receive the higher rate.
