ection. The registration books
will close within a few days,
yet out of some 1000 voters

only one sixth have qualified
to vote and unless some rapid
work is done within the next
few days five sixth of the peo-
pie will have to be sworn in
if they exercise their right of
franchise.
On top of this is the fact
the coming election will be
one Of extreme importance to

THE LOAN TO THE ALLIES

0S to whether or not AM
II ericans should make the
contemplated loan to the
allies there are differences Of
opinion. Naturally those who
are pro-ally will look with ia
vor upon the loan while the
pro-Germans will regard it as
an improper move.
News reports indicate the
loan will be made and expert
opinion is it will have a good
effect on our export trade. In
his financial review for Sept.
25, Henry Clews says:
"The English and French
gentlemen who have come to
New York as representatives
of their respective govern
ments to negotiate a. credit
which will have for its object
the restoration of the Sterling
and French exchanges, will
unquestionably be successful
in their mission and the com
plete details Of the interna-
tional arrangement soon will
be announced. This is an i'm
portant market factor consid-
cred from any angle. In the
first place it provides for the
continued unrestricted expor-
tation of American products.
At the same time it removes
one of the most active incen-
tives for the sale by foreign
holders of their American Sc
curities. At the low figure
which exchange touched at the
beginning of this month, ster-
ling funds were at a discount
in this market of more than
ia, which meant that after
selling their stocks and bonds
in New York foreign holders
could turn the proceeds into
their own national funds on a
correspondingly attractive bas-
is, thus adding the rate of the
discount to the English equiva-
lent. If the credit that is now
Being negotiated fulfills its
mission the discount will dis
appear and the incentive to sell
will be correspondingly cur
tailed. Meanwhile money at

The lowering of exchange

London, Jan. 20.-Growing con-
vietions that aeroplanes and not Zep-
pelin terrors made the daring night
attack on the east coast last night
did much today to calm the minds of
Londoners. Despite the definite state
ments of several persons that they
saw Zeppelins, officials of the cities
visited by the raids frankly express
ed their doubts The belief that
bombs were dropped from aeroplanes
and not from dirigibles is support
ed by statements of the police at
Yarmouth. who say the outlines OF
invaders were plainly visible in the
early evening skies. They are POSI-
tive the raiders piloted aeroplanes
The government remained silent
today about the air attack. This was
tasen 70 mean tAat an investigation
was Hndev way and that the war off1r6
hoped to- later relieve the public
mind with the assurance that aero
planes and not the dreaded zeppelins
had crossed the sea to attack Eng
land.
In the absence of official informa-
tton the best reports tonight put the
number of bomb victims at seven,
with possibly two more. Five per-
sons were killed at Yarmauth the
Yarmouth police report, and two 9TH
ers are dead at Kings Lynn. The
cities and towns definitely known to
have been bombarded are the follow
ing: Yarmouth, Kings Lynn. Sher-
ingham, Snettisham, Gorleston,
Grimston. Boston, Darsingham and
the environs of Sendringham
All were attacked within a few
hours and telephone wires were hot
with warnings to interior cities of
the approach of the raiders. All the
raiding air craft are believed to have
Dispatches from Hunsten-
ton, near the raiders 'rea, today de-
MED the report that a Zeppelin was
brought down there by the fire OF
warships off the coast. On the con-
trary it is stated an airship was
sighted drifting liesurely seaward
early today. Unofficial reports
brought word that three airships fly
ing eastward were sighted off the
coast of Holland early today. They
are believed to have been returning.
Two persons were killed at Kings
Lynn.

port five dead Dispatches from
