Chicago. Sept. 16.-Senstor J. Ham
ilton Lewis today made public a letter.
protesting against the proposed billion
dollar war loan. which she has sent to
Secretary Of the Treasury NcAdoo and
the federal reserve board.
Senator Lewis said his purpose in
making the letter public was SO that
the public might take counsel with the
bankers looking to the proper guard
ianship Of the money of the people,
the loan he said. would invite repe-
tition Of the pauics Of 1873 and 1898. In
the course OF his letter the senator
says
The amount demanded by these
fnanciers of Europe is S1.o01010,000.
The statement from two official
bankers of the government is that the
amount of unusable money in America
in excess of reserve and money already
obligated is $2.00000o,00o
1T viii be seen that if the billion
sought goes to the foreign bankers.
one-haf of all the available cash for
America is taken from she American
people. This al a time when the Amer
lean people and the American govern
meut have no other source in the world
to resort to IN the event of any emerg-
7ency breaking on the United States.
This amount OF money leaving us
means
one hundred millions taken from
10 Of our commercial centers.
cone million taken from 1000 of our
agricultural and manufacturing cea-
ters.
@Au this ar a time when the revenues
of America show d deficit 0ccasioned
by the European war cutting on inn
ports and necessitauHg the borrowing
by America from itself, or the iucreas-
ing of the taxes Of the citizens if there
be a deficiency of money in America to
meet an American government loan.
The effect of this foreign loan would
be to take $1,000. 100000 from our peo-
pie of their own money and lend it TO
nations who are spending $15000,Q9
day. In so days all that money will be
spent by the entente and we viii have

Coincident with Earl Eitchener's op-
tmistic remarks in the house of lords

creasiug disposition TO reassume the
offensive at many points on the east

They are not only pressing their at
tacks against the Ausrians in Cell

up the German rush in mid-Poland

thrown back the invaders near svient-

The Germany battery stlll holds out
at the brideghead near Dyinsk, al
though the Russians apparently are
holding their opponents in check in

Counting their captures in Galicta,
the Russians lately have been taking
more prisoners than they have been
losing. In England hopes are rising

incauttous prediction when he declar-
ed Germany had shot her bolt, but that
his statement was based on facts. 1t

British prize court today condemned
the greater part of the American pro

The case has been pending for sew
eral months. The steamships were
seized last November, and although
efforts were made by the America
owners to obtain an early trial, the
British authorities set the hearing for
June. The hearing closed last month.
In a lengthy judgment Sir Samuel SAID
it was plain these ships were carry

Says Idaho Building Empty.

ga Beautiful Shell" is the fitting
term to apply to the Idaho building
at San Francisco, according to H. A..
Barber, of the Model Store, who re-
turned last week from two month S
trip to the exposition cities. To the
Times Mr.. Barber stated that after
entering the Idaho building full of
pride about the Gem state, upon
leaving he looked hurriedly about
and then threw his Idaho button out
into the bay ashamed to face the
people with that emblem after seeing
the farcial display from this state.
In the Idaho building was abso-
lutely nothing. About the floor
were plenty of evidences that ex-
hibits had been torn out, showing I'M
painted floors in spots in contrast to
the other painted sections intended
for public gaze. The information
was given Mr.. Barber that the pres
ent executive intended using the
Idaho building for a rest room for
Idaho people. Mr.. Barber's state
ments have been corroborated by
other people from this city as to the
chaotic condition of affairs in and
around the Idaho building Twin
