Mammoth Credit
 Loan Arranged
To BE UNDERWRITTEN BY SYM
 DIcATE OF AMERICANS
TO PAY 59o INTEREST
Amount of the Loan is Placed at Be-
 tween '$eoo,ooo,ooo and ss.ooo,ooo,-
 ooo-Seeured by Government Bonds.

New York, Sept 1s.-The proposed mammoth credit loan to Great Britain and France, it was reported tonight, is to be underwritten by a large sym dicate of American financiers and bankers who are to receive com mission for their services. The secur- ities offered, it was said, will be Brit 1sh and French 5 per cent. government bonds and the price to the investor is to he par.
 Between $500, 900 and $500, 1000, 900.
 The amount of the loan, it was re- ported, is as yet undetermined, but will be between $500, ,O00, 900 and $s00,- 100000.
 Whether munitions of war will he included within the scope of the pro- posed credit, so far as could be learned tonight. has not been decided.
 The underwriting syndicate, it was reported, will be the largest of it's kind ever established in the United States and probably will be open to nearly all national banks. trust companies and state banks that may care to par ticipate. While the amount of the commission to be paid these banks was not expressed in percentages. it is understood that the profit will be a small one. possibly one-half of one per cent.
 Victory for American Financiers.
 elimination or the reported d1f1Cr- ence in opinion between American financiers and members of the Anglo French commission over the manner of placing the loan apparently has re suited in a victory for the American financiers. Previous reports indicated that the commission felt that the loan should be placed by subscription and that there should be no underwriting syndicate.
 The American conferees were re- ported to favor adoption of a plan whereby a syndicate would underwrite tfe big issue and would receive at least one-balf of one per cent for its l services. This. it is reported. has been ! the plan tentatively agreed to.
 Foreigners Maintain Silence. Efforts to elicit an expression of the commissions views on this point to- night, were futile. The various mem bers the delegations have been spending the day out of town, and it was said at their hotel that some of tthem were not expected to return till tomorrow. However. word that an agreement had been tentatively reach ed on this detail of the negotiations one of the chief considered, came from several other sources whose ability to speak with authority cannot be ques- ! toned.
