st. Paul. Sept. 1.-THE 81. 900. 000.-
900 loan to the English and French
governments practically has been
closed In New York by James ]. Hin,
]. z. Morgan and other financiers, it
became known In st. Paul on reliable
authority.
AS a compliment to James j. Hill,
who was seventy-seven years old, the
greatest single financial transaction
In the history of this country prac-
tically was assured when the English
and French commission met the
American bankers. Mr.. Hill has been
directing the loan negotiations since
his arrival in New York last Monday.
What is the most surprising fea-
ture of the gigantic loan, 1t is ex-
planned, Is hat none of 1t will be for
munitions of var. The entire sum is
! to be for grain, cotton and provisions.
The var munitions will be provided
for in a different manner and entire.
ly aside from the loan.
Mr.. Hill has bitterly opposed a war
munition loan and hat is what has
been holding the financiers In dead
lock i'm New York. Mr.. Hill said that
every section of the country will cor
tribute to a loan for grain, cotton and
provisions, but not for war munitions
German Bankers VIII Help.
Instead Of opposing the loan Ger
man bankers over the country have
pledged to support il II 1t does not In

A big point that has been gained
for the West and Northwest by Mr.
Hill is that the money that comes
from this section shall be in payment
for crops and IL shall be drawn only
as the foreign government buys the
crops and live stock of the Northwest
This assures the disposition of the
record breaking 1915 crops of tn,
Northwest and also il will absorb tn.

Another surprising feature of tn,

WOULD PREPARE FOR WAR

In the discussions Of the lessons
Of the European war as applied to the
military problems OF the United
States no man In congress has a
larger part than Representative Julius
Kahn Of California. Mr.. Kahn. as
president Of the National Defense
league Of the United States, is an ear

that for the United States. at least,
preparedness for war Is the only in
suranee against war.
"Militarist," his very good friend.
Representative Richard Bartholdt OF
Missouri, calls him, in their debates
on the subject, "Pacihst," retorts Mr..
Kahn, for Mr.. Bartholdt is committed
TO the cause OF peace, and Is one Of
the country's most noted advocates OF
arbitration as a cure for war.
