REAL MONTANA PROSPERITY
SHOWN At STATE FAIR

Helena, Montana, Sept. %. Especially }
The thirteenth annual Montana State
Fair is under way in Helena this week
and never before in the history of the
city has the capital looked as bright or
has the fair been as pretentious as it is
this year. Monday the gates swung
open under conditions by far more IA
vorable than any previous year.
Big crops, real prosperity in Mon
tana and cooperation between the rail-
roads and the state fair made it pos
sible for larger crowds to attend than
during any previous year and at pres
ent it appears as if all past records
will be broken before the week is fin
ished.
Monday started with some of the fin
est running races in the history of the
fair. Tuesday marked the first flights
of DeLloyd Thompson and the first
"loop-the-loop' ever given before a
state fair crowd. The auto racers

LOAN FOR ALLIES
ASSURED, BELIEF
JAMES j. HILL TO LEAVE NEW
YORK FOR HOME AT ONCE,
SAYS WIRE.
TO EXCLUDE WAR MUNITIONS
Bankers Split on Question Of Including
Battle Supplies Among Exports
to Be Paid for by Proceeds
of Loan

New York, Sept. 20.-PourparIe
have been opened for having the pow
erful firms of so-caIIed Germanc con-
nections join in floating the great war
loan. Kuhn, Loeb G. Co. stand at the
head Of this influential class of bank
ers. James J. Hill, the northwestern
magnate, close friend Of the two
factions, was reported to have brought
them together.
Receipt in St. Paul of a telegram
from James j. Hill, who is in New
York acting as one of the principals
in the billion-dollar loan negotiations
with the allies, said that Mr.. Hill
would leave New York for home at
once.
Although the telegram contained no
further information, bankers in the
Twin Cites accept this as conclusive
evidence that the gigantic deal with
the English and French governments
is assured, as Mr.. Hill and j. Pier
pont Morgan have been this recognized
leaders in the negotiations.
New York newspapers and financiers
who learned of the receipt Of the tel
egram in the Twin Cities We're sur
prised at the announcement that Mr..
Hill had concluded his business. While
he has indicated nothing definite, it
is believed here that more than $780,
900 of the loan will be raised by
Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Morgan and the New
York bankers.
Loan to BE Divided.
According to those close to Mr.. Hill
the loan may be divided into three or
four parts, one part for wheat in the
West and Northwest, one for cotton
in the South, one for provisions, and
the fourth nationwide loan. 1t is
said that the money that will be placed
in the bank will be used only as p3lr-
chases are made, and that none of it
will leave the country.
Mr. Hill has been insistent that
the loan be made, and that it exclude
munitions of war, and his associates
say that the latter point is gained, al
though Press dispatches said it was
still an issue.

GEOGRAPHERS BELIEVE LAND
FOUND BY sTEFANssoN RISES
FROM SHALLOW WATER.
THIRTEEN LIVES ATE LOST
Insane and Suicides-Southern Wing
of Party At Work On Nc
kenzie Delta.

New York, Sept. 20.-Satistied by
Vilhjalmur Stefanssons announcement
that he is alive and we'll on Banks
Land, in the Arctic, explorers and ge-
ographers directed attention to the
new land he reports he has discovered
In the far north.
in Stefansson's own report the new.
ly discovered land is located near 78
degrees north latitude and III degrees
west longitude. He actually saw about
100 miles of coast line running in an
easterly direction and apparently peEe.
trating to a distance of 20 miles in.
land, where from u hilltop the explorer
saw mountains at a distance of 80
miles
Cyrus C. Adams, president of the
Association of American Geographers
declared in a statement that Stefans
sons new land lies about 100 m lies to
the north of Prince Patrick island, and
that the most southerly part of the
land which the explorer visited is con
siderably to the east of the most east.
ward extension Of Prince Patrick
island.
Near PoIynia Islands.
The lands nearest to it, Mr.. Adams
said, are the Polyria islands, little
group north Of Prince Patrick island
about IS or 80 miles from the new
land.
Mr.. Adams said the most northern
part of the new land as far as Stefans
son saw it, appears to be farther north
than any other land in the great Parry
archipelago, to the north OF the A5leTi
can continent.
Mr.. Adams expressed the opinion
that the land discovered by Stefansson
rises from the continental shelf in shall
low waters that surround the Parry
archipelago and that its discovery
shows that this part of the Arctic
ocean is comparatively shallow.
Mr.. Adams also pointed out that an
other notable achievement was Stef
ansson's completion of the charting OF
the northeast coast of Prince Patrick
island.
Tested Theories.
Stefansson to test the theories which
had been set forth by DR.. Nansen and
others that the unexrlored portion OF
the Arctic ocean is a deep basin vir
tually devoid Of land. Other explorers
had asserted that land of considerable
area lay undiscovered there.
The southern wing of the expedition
is pursuing it's scientific work in the
Mckenzie delta and reports no mishap
except the death Of Engineer Daniel
Blue Of the power boat Alaska. This
is the 18th death among the members
of the expedition. Eight men perished
on the ice while trying to reach Wran.
gel island and another accidentally
shot and killed himself there. Another
in the Mckenzie country went insane
while lost and committed suicide by
shooting.

Geneva, Sept. 20.-The Lausanne
Gazette says It has learned that
the German government has decid-
ed to issue a declaration annex
ing to the German empire the oc-
s. pied territories in France and
Belgium.

ended as had been hoped, before
winter.

the German government intends
to organize the conquered territory

SOMETHING DOING At
THE NEXT SESSION

From the representations of the
Washington correspondents it is evil
dent that the session of the national
congress which is to meet in Decemcer
will have plenty of business before it
and will probably be one of the most
important and interesting sessions in
the nations history. Doubtless our
relations with Germany and other for
eign countries will be thoroughly
threshed out, as well as our relations
with Mexico and the extent to which
this country should interfere in the af-
fairs of Mexico. First and foremost,
perhaps, will be the question of pro-
viding an adequate national defense.
There are all sorts of views as to what
may constitute an adequate defense
and some will oppose any larger appro-
priations for the army and navy than
have been made in former years, while
others will demand the building of the
biggest navy in the world and an army
several times the size of the present
one.
National finances will occupy large
share Of attention. Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo has announced that
the administration will press the adop-
tion by the government of the budget
system of governmental expenditure.
The subject of the appointment of a
tariff commission will be urged by
many, so that the entire question of
tariff may be considered by experts on
the matter and reports made to con-
gress. Measures for building up the
merchant marine will be discussed once
more and it is likely that the admins
tration will make another effort to pass
the ship subsidy bill, which was de-
feated in the senate last spring through
a filibuster.
Among other subjects that, accord
ing to students of nation affairs, will
command attention at the coming ses
sion are rural credits, the prevention of
railroad strikes, the relation of the
railroads to the interstate commerce
commission, the granting to manu-
facturers and business men of freedom
to combine in foreign trade SO as to re-
duce selling costs, the development and
government Of Alaska.
Certain important questions that at
tracted wide attention and consumed
much time at the last session will
again come up. The prohibitionists are
ranging their forces to make stronger
fight than ever before to secure at the
coming session the passage of reso-
luton providing for the submission to
all the states of a prohibition consti-
tutional amendment. Unless this is done
the prohibitionists declare that they
will make national prohibition the issue
in the presidential campaign of 1916.
The sutfragists will also doubtless be
before congress in advocacy Of suf-
frage amendment to the constitution.
Altogether it bids fair to be very
busy and lively session and in all prob
ability an exceedingly lengthy one. -

TRENCH CLEANERS
BUTCHER SURVIVORS

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The official an
nouncement that steel helmets have
at last been adopted in the British
army, is welcome imitation of what
has already proved great success
among the French troops. An officer
under General Castlenau, in Cham
payne, has lately written testifying
to the great utility of these and SINH
lar ancient and modern devices for
protection in the trenches. The he'll
NETS are covered with the same grey
blue cloth as the uniforms, and even
the water bottles and other equip
ment are treated in like manner. The
use of the helmets has now become
universal.
A new use has been found for knives
by what are called the trench clean
ers," who, after the first line has
passed with the bayonet, follow on and
despatch such of the enemy as offer
resistance. These knivers are describ-
ed as a sort of knuckle-duster, the
blade being strapped to the back OF
the hand, and can be effectively used
either as a weapon of offense or de.
tense.
