There is cash market in foreign

GERMAN SUBMARINE COMMANDER SAYS
 HE SANK THE ARABIC
 IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
Continued From Page One,

press dispatches today announcing that submarine commander had reported to Berlin that he torpedoed the Arabic be- cause he thought her changes of course meant that she intended to attack him. Officials did not comment on the press reports Through Count Won Bernstorff. the German ambassador, assurances have been given that full satisfaction will be accorded the United States in connec- ton with the destruction of the Arabic. on which American passengers lost their lives Consequently, while some officials indicated that the submarine comman- der's explanation seemed unconvincing there will be no judgment until Berlin Is heard from formally.
 In the meantime, attention is being given the case of the Allan liner Hes- perian. Secretary Lansing today cabled to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin asking that he report any information that might be available there Although all reports from London declare that the Hesperian was torpedoed, the belief that she struck a mine still Is prevalent in naval circles here.
 No confirmation has been received Sd far of reports that an American named Wolff, member of the crew, was lost with the Hesperian. It was pointed out that the situation would not be changed if this proved to be true. The American government has taken the ground stha. the placing of American lives in leopard, by illegal acts is grave an offens, against the rights of neutral nation as the actual destruction of life.

bot on this subject and what the outcome or the conference was, If held, have no been disclosed by dispatches from Eng. land. This. it is believed, is doubtless due to the rigid censorship.
 With England, France and Russia act ing in concert in the American none, market. 1t was thought tonight that tho matter of floating a large credit loan here would be correspondingly simplified. II was pointed out that the three govern ments probably would lend their names jointly and Individuality to the loan and that, in addition to the notes of these three nations, the American lenders would be fortified by the further security of approved collateral.
 This collateral, if it takes the form oi American stocks and bonds, as popularly predicted, would make 1t possible for banks in every big city in the United States to participate. Their help wou, l be needed financiers here thought, for the swelling flood of American exports is pouring out with such sweep that al ready Europe is debtor to the extent of billion dollars or more and a method must be found soon of paying the bill.
 The minimum sum which the three gov ernments must borrow here to restore the value of their moneys. from the pres ent depreciation to normal, was estmat- ed at half a billion dollars.
 Should Great Britain, France and Rus sa find 1t impracticable through the terms imposed. or other conditions, to borrow this great sum here, it was learned tonight on excellent authority that the three nations contemplate paying the bill in gold
 Already s6O.0OO 900 in gold has been sent to America by land within three weeks This Is but the start of the yellow stream that will flow across the Atlantic. 1t was said, if America Is unprepared to lend.
 The impression seemed to prevail in England two weeks ago that the United States did not want to lend, but desired gold Enormous stocks of the precious metal were drawn to London and Paris, as if by a magnet, to be available for quick transportation to New York, if nee essary.
 F'inanciers here attributed this misun- derstandng at London, Paris and Petro- grad to the censor It was largely due to the inability of New York bankers to make clear the situation that the joint commission sailed for the United States.

GRAND DUKE SENT TO UNIMPORTANT POST. IN CAUCASUS BY GEAR
 WHO SUCCEEDS HIM
fContinued from Page One,

Moltke as chief of the German general staff
 The post to which Grand Duke Hicholas has been transferred IS oi relative unimportance as compared with the prestige and vast powers of his former office as commander in chief Of all Russia's great fighting units. The Caucasian campaign presents only minor aspect of the war. The Rus san and Turkish forces involved in the struggle In the Black sea region are not large.
 Although there was heavy fighting in the Caucasus earlier in the war, hosti,i- ties have been conducted along perfume tory lines for several months only.
 It Is Russian tradition that the Elm peror. The Little Father" should in person lead his armies, particularly at time of grave peril Hence, 1t Is pos sipie that sentiment may play a large part in the removal of the grand q Ike This idea would be further suppot ted by the fact that the military ability of the grand duke has been loudly praised by military observers. He also has been described as the idol of his men in the field.
 The grand duke treated his officers with marked severity His punishments or them have been swift and hard and he has made no ist.nction between the loWly subaltern or the man of nigh ran nl< and political influence. This course has brought out some ill feeling against him ir bureaucratic circles. In return the grand duke is credited with having just cause for complaint at the manner m which the administration at Petrograd failed to support his men with arms, ann munition, provisions and hospital sup plies.
 Grand Duke Nicholas is a second cousin Of the Emperor He took an active part In the Russo-Japanese war. making a distinguished record, and he was made president of the council of the national defense of the Russian empire in 1906 lie was appointed commander in chiet of the Russian armies in the field in early Au- gust of last year.
