New York, Sept 1.-The joint Auglo-French financial commission, which arrived in this city on sat urday for the purpose of negotiat- ing a loan for the allies, yesterday established headquarters in the fin aDcial district Their proposal to borrow one billion dollars with out 'epOsittng collateral security is a novel and startling proposition to the bankers of this city, through whom they hope to negotiate the loan.

 American bankers have been urg- ing for several weeks that Great Britain should float such loan in the United States. It is said that many New York bankers will urge that Canada be requested to join Great Britain and France in pledglug the bonds. It is stated that Canada's credit is better in the United States than that of any foreign couLtry, and that her sig nature to the bonds will insure a ready market for them among the American people, hasten their ab- sorptton by the masses, and thus relieve the banks of the necessity

Atlin, B. C., Sept. 9-Last Mon day, while on tour of inspection, A. T. Henning, watchman at the reservoir at Upper Otter creek, en- countered a mother bear and two cubs. Although the spot where MT. Henning met the bears was over a mile from the reservoir, he easily outdistanced them and arriving at the reservoir, plunged into the water. The bears followed quick ly to the edge of the pond, but seemed satisfied to remain on shore. MT. Henning kept we'll to the center Of the miniature lake while the bears ragged around the shore, meanwhile keeping captive the unfortunate man. Althuogh at the deepest place in the reservoir there Is only four feet of water, MT. Henning being a small man coula barely keep his head above

of carrying them beyond a very short time.
 It is further urged that the Notation of British loan in this country would do more to stimu- late business than anything else that could take place just now, and that such a loan, especially if it had Canadian endorsement would be quickly taken up by investors, and remove the danger that Amert- can securities owned in Europe would be forced onto the American mal ket in such quantities that they could not be cared for easily with out a break and that it would make the holders of similar securities in this country free to engage in new and to improve old ones, which would create additional home markets for manufactured goods.
 James J. Hill arrived in this city yesterday for the purpose of par in the deal, and will insist upon the loans being made. It is believed that he will favor the larger loan. MT. Hill hurriedly left St. Paul, accompanied by M. R. his confidential secretary. He will lay before the New York meeting data showing that if the loan is no. made commerce will be Daralyzed and Americas surplus crcUs will be useless.

 Mir. Hennine Is now very busy explaining why he did not use his S0-30. which he had with him at the time. He speaks rather inco- hcrently of his having had only one rifle and eight shells, and of his not having had time to Bhoot from the moment of meeting the bears until his arrival at the pond.

Denounces Child Labor Bill.

T do not believe for minute that the 72.3l3 people who voted in Sep tember for the new child labor law will stand for a weak ening of it's provisions before 1t has been given a fair trial. " This was the opinion expressed today by Murray A. Auerbach of Little Rock in speaking of the bill introduced into the Legisla- ture last Thursday. proposing to make exemptions to the l4-year age limit which went into effect Jan. 1St.
 If this bill goes through it will mean that the Legislature is deliberately setting aside the expressed will of three fourths of the citizens who voted in Sep- tember. " Mir. Auerbach re- ferred to the fact that in none of the other states which have established a flat 14-year limit and abolished exemptions for poverty has such an exemption been restored. There is al- ways some other. better way to meet the few cases of absolute need which result. Missouri in 1911 abolished its exemption of of the poor children. who most need the protection of law, and yet we do not hear of any hard ship resulting.
 Tn New York there has been for years scholarship fund for children over IA whom the rais- ing of the educational standard or the physical test required has kept from working, and the largest number of children, which has ever been receiving scholarships at any one time in the entire city of New York is 70. 1 don't believe many Ark ansans would admit that We have any poverty problem to compare with that in New York SlumS. -
 Mir. M. J. McMahon, Deputy Commissioner of Labor, of Little Rock is also opposed to the bill. Tn common justice. he says, not only to the children, but to the voters of Arkansas, it seems to me that the law should be al- lowed to stand for at least year before any changes are consider ed. "
