Lugano, July 5.-The German-Swiss

That these measures are taken to pre-

have been passing daily, bound east

was tighter in the city to-day than
since ,fe first few days Of the war.
Even small mortgages of about $1,000
m real estate have been vigorously
closed down. with the result that num-
hers Of small men are IN state OF
absolute panic.
The new half year passed, heavy
money for the war loan began to pour
In today. Five Of the big London joint
stock banks expected TO take a half
billion dollars between them, and the
rest will subscribe propOrtiOnately All
financial authorities agree that the loan
looks like having extraordinary sue
cess Even the conservative element
believes McKenna viii get MS five bill
ions.
Another point which bankers took up
with the Chancellor was the question
Of the British income tax for foreign
loan holders. They did not ask that
this be RENTED before subscriptions
close in England, because otherwise
Enclishmon would arrange 90 have
their holdings taken up in New York,
bu. they asked that as soon rs the
stipulated date is passed NcKenna in
troiuce q short legislative act freeing
foreign holders from the burden of the
income tax
Their view IS that it is impossible TO
expect American subscriptions while
the tax is enforced, with the effect
that the yield is only $50 per cent.
For this reason they do not believe that
the proposed Morgan war loan issue
has yet passed the stage Of initial ne
goistions. but, on the contrary. there
i' no likelihood of its fotation until the
income tax point is finally settled.

SPY FIRING PARTY
USED NO BLANKS
Scots Guards Veterans Dis
pensed with Old Custom in
Executing Muller.

Passengers arriving by the American
liner St. Louis yesterday told a drs-
matte story OF the end Of the spy Null
Ter. who was shot in the Tower of Lon
don on June %. Although the story IS
current throughout London, the censor
will not permit a word TO be published
In the newspapers.
Muller's appeal against the sentence
OF death was heard in camera by hye
Judges June 81 and dismissed the same
day The following evening he was
taken from BriXton prison TO the Tower
Of London and handed over to the
military authorities.
That night he was guarded in his
cell in the Round Tower by a detach-
ment of the Honorable Artillery Com
pany. the most famous volunteer regl-
ment in England
During the night the Scots Guards
we're called upon to supply firing
party. Eight men were chosen, all OF
whom had been wounded at the front
and were about 70 return. In their
case there was no conjunction what
ever about shooting a German, and
consequently the formality OF half the
squad being given blank cartridges and
the other half ball cartridges man
knowing what his rifle contained
dispensed with
Muller was led from his cell about
$3.50 a. m. The firing party was al
ready awaiting him at the old moat
The chaplain said a short prayer, Null
Ter was blindfolded, placed in chair,
the officer gave the command Ready,
Present! FIRE." And within half a
minute from his leaving the cell the
German spy was dead.
According to British law, an inquest
was held six hours later. There it was
stated that Muller received eight bull
let wounds in his chest, all within a
space of two inches. The shoulder
blade was blown clean away and splin-
tiers of it were found in the chair.
