The old lady darted quick look at
Ingersoll; but he was smiling. He had
schooled himself for an ordeal, and his
expression did not change. Tollemache,
too, created a diversion by seizing a pin,
holding it high above the surface of the
water, whereas each of the girls had sought
apparently to lessen the distance as much

Announcement comes from Missouri
to the effect that the Democratic state
administration is seurrying about in
search of the wherewithal to meet the
eStravagant expenses of government in
that state. By getting the attorney
general to resolve a doubt against the
public school fund, which has always
heretofore been resolved in it's favor,
the state auditor has taken away over
100000 from the schools and credited
it to the general ven fund. Add
tional taxation of corporations is also
proposed to fill the yawning hole in the
state treasury. If the Democrats in
that state Cor in the n~ation) ever win
cut again, they ought to be hog-tied
with a spendthrift trust.

PROPOSED LOAN TO
GREAT BRITAIN AND ALLIES

Great Britain and France have sent
commissioner TO the United States to
negotiate a loan for a billion and a half
dollars, but offer no security other than
their own bond issues.
Protests have been piling up IN
Washington and New York, coming
from all sections of the country,
against ~loaning the money, but the
principal objection seems to be that by
50 doing citizens of this country Will
ne aiding the Allies.
1t is rather late in the day for Amer
leans toraise thi $ issue. Had the Unit
ed States refused to furnish the bellg-
elents with foodstuffs and munitions at
the beginning of the war, peace would
have been accomplished months ago.
Now, if Great Britain and her allies,
or Germany and her allies, wish to
borrow money, let them have it, pro
vided they can give proper security.
We might as well lend them money as
to sell them food and munitions.

Omaha Horse and Mule company for
500 horses a week, and at the same
point the French government has just
placed a $1,000,000 order which re
quires that at least 5000 of the horses
must be delivered within 90 days. Up
to date South Omaha has sent $4,000,
600 worth of horses to the Allies, and
it is expected that the business will be
doubled within the next IL months. Ar
rangements are also being perfected
for the purchase of 5000 horses a
month at Des Moines. Orders for
horses and mules began to come in one
monht after the outbreak of the Eu-
rcpean war, and for the period Septem-
her 1914 to June 1915, we exported
them to the value of 500, SIC, 800, com
pared with an expectation of less than
S3,000,000 for the similar period 1913
1914. Exports of mules for the 1914
1915 period were valued at $l2, 200, 900,
compared with s5S0,000 for the similar
period 1913-1914. The average life of
a horse in the European war is esti-
mated as eight days.
