Washington, D. c., Sept. IT, -
Revenue legislation in the coming ses.
sion of congress was discussed today
at long conference between Secretary
MoAd0o of the treasurery and Repre-
sentative Claude Kitchin of North Car.
olina, majority leader of the next
house of representatives
Democratic leaders are convinced
that legislation must be enacted to
swell the government receipts in view
of the prospects Of continued war in
Europe.
Customs receipts have not shown
any tendency to increase, and internal
revenue receipts are not equal to a few
years ago. The certainty that large
appropriations will be demanded for
the army and navy also must be taken
into consideration.
Many revenue measures have been
suggested, including the restoration of
the duty on sugar, the lowering of the
exemption limit of the income tax and
an extension of at least a year of the
emergency tax law which expires Jan
.uary l.

BRYAN TO TALK
PEACE IN EUROPE
MAY GO ABROAD At REQUEST OF
FOREIGN LANGUAGE NEWS
PAPER EDITORS.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 17.-Plans
to send Former Secretary of \ State
Bryan on a mission of peace to the
warning nations of Europe were the
subject of conference here today
between former cabinet officer and
Dr. VIM. Forgo, representing editors
Of American newspapers published in
foreign languages.
In his statement, DR.. Forgo said that
Mr.. Bryan had already given him the
impression that If the trip we're under
taken, Mr. Bryan himself will for
the love of the cause, not only sacri-
flee his time, but will also pay his own
expenses" The statement lauded the
former secretary of state, saying that
'1n all Europe, belligerent or neutral
countries, there is no American held
in greater esteem than Mr.. Bryan"
Dr. Forgo said Mr.. Bryan would
probably announce his plans after to-
days conference.

Long Missing Explorer Has
Made Important Find in
Ice Bound Regions
STEFANSON ALIVE
AND WELL IS REPORT
Is Fitting Up Expedition to
Continue Exploration
Toward the West

Nome, Alaska, Sept. 1.-THE power
schooner Ruby arrived from Herschel
island, on the Arctic coast west of the
mouth of the Mackenzie river, yester-
day afternoon with news that Vilhjal-
mar Stefansson. the Canadian ex-
plorer, who with two companions,
Storker Storkerson and Ole Anderson,
set out from Martin Point, Alaska,
March %, 1914, over the frozen Polar
ocean to search for supposed new
lands in the Beaufort sea, is not only
alive and well, but has accomplished
every purpose for which the hazard
GUS journey was undertaken.
Captain S. F. Cottle, master of the
Ruby, says that Stefansson Is now on
Banks land, east of the Mackenzie,
outfitting for continuance Of the ex-
plorations to the westward to ascer-
tain the full extent Of the new land he
discovered southwest of Saint Pat
rick's land. Stefansson discovered
a continuance of the continental shelf
several degrees west of Banks land
and even determined it's southern
limits, but was unable to continue his
explorations to the north and west.
Stefansson told Captain Cottle that
after leaving the supporting party on
the Ice north of Martin point he and
his hardy companions set their faces
to the north, but after continuing their
journey ninety days they decided to
return to land. They turned back
and landed on the mainland at a point
near which the power boat Mary
Sachs Of the Stefansson expedition
was wintering. Here the three men
outfitted for another three months'
trip. They again went on the ice, go
ing north and west and discovering
the continental shelf.
Stefansson spent some time explor-
ing his new find but at length, owing
to scarcity of provisions, was COM
PEELED to set out on the return journey

Moreover" the premier added, in a
tone of deep conviction, "the Serbian
army has been reorganized and is well
supplied with munitions. It would
render most difficult for the enemy
crossing of the mountainous country.
He would require at least 100000 men

Paris. Sept. II. - A dispatch to the

that the leaders of all the opposition
parties In Bulgaria have held a meet
ing at which It was decided to publish
an appeal to the country explaining the
international political situation as a.
fecting that nation. The appeal will
be made on the ground that under
present circumstances the attitude
taken by the government is perilous.
The Bulgarian governments decision
to make terms with Turkey has met
with considerable opposition. Advices
from Bucharest recently represented
a majority of Bulgarian statesmen as
favoring rapprochement with the
Quadruple entente, Serbia and Greece.

In reality, they were two separate and

HALF BILLION To

American Bankers Are Not
Willing to Raise All of
Sum First Asked
PRO-GERMAN BANKS
ARE TO CONTRIBUTE
Position Taken That Nation
Must Extend Credit to
Win Export Trade

New York, Sept. 17.-Another Sc
cret meeting, the third within three
days, was held today between mem
bers Of the Anglo-French financial
commission and representatives Of big
New York, Chicago, Boston and other
out OF town banking houses who are
endeavoring to reach an agreement on
the proposed mammoth credit loan to
Great Britain and France
No further word was forthcoming
from the commission than its brief
statement Of last night, saying so much
had already been accomplished that
1t was hoped a definite statement could
soon be issued telling of the progress
made
The proposal said to have been
made by American bankers, that the
commission would be given loan OF
half the sum originally asked, was
widely credited today. The commits
sion let 1t be known soon after it's ar
rival here that it was seeking a bill
lion dollars. Five hundred millions,
it is said, have been promised.
This proposal has not appeared to
be altogether acceptable to the COM
mission and it is believed the sum will
sibly to $750.O00,00 before negotia-
generally believed the interest rate
will be five per cent in the investor
end about 5k per cent to the under
writer
Whether the big credit should be
used to pay for shipments of war mu-
ritions as well as wheat, cotton and
other commodities, has been the sub
tect Of much discussion among the
conferees. It is believed a much larg-
er loan could, be fioated If it were un.
derstood that the credit would apply
only to commodity shipments and that
munitions would be paid for in some
other manner, possibly by gold ship
ments.
Great Britain and France. It Is said,
oppose this plan, however, and are de-
sirous Of having the big credit cover
exports Of every form.
Increasing willingness on the part
of certain socalled pro-German f1nan-
cial institutions here to participate
was manifest today These banking
houses, it was said, are pro-German
only in sympathy, and If invited, many
would subscribe large sums to cred
1t loan which would operate toward
continuance of the present prosperity
enjoyed by American exporters.
Az on yesterday some Of the most
prominent bankers of the financial sec
ton were again absent from their
desks today and it was assumed they
had TONED the commission in confer
ence. The idea Of holding secret
meetings was largely due, it was re-
ported, to the number of threatening
and insulting letters received by the
commissioners, and the hint, dropped
by the police, that 1t would be well
not to announce any days program In
advance.
The presence OF the commission
here and the publicity given their ne
gotiations have had tonic effect on
the foreign exchange markets. Ster-
ling was up today to $470M, more than
twenty cents above its low level OF
three weeks ago, and other foreign
money values were correspondingly
strengthened.
