GERMANY AROUSED
 BY LOAN TO ALLIES
Leading Berlin Financiers Agree Con- ditions Are Very Unfayorable for
 England and France.

Berlin, Oct. 1.-The Anglo French loan which is being raised in the United States has aroused great in terest in Germany.
 Leading financiers of Berlin," says the Overseas News Agency, "agree that. although British despatches leave some features of the loan in doubt, the conditions are very un- favorable for England and France. few years ago no one in either country would have thought it pos sible that such loan would be issued ill the United States at 96 and re- deemable in five years. This means that England and France are paying about six per cent interest. It is generally believed also, that in ad- dition to the bonus of two per cent. paid to the syndicate of underwriters other bonuses will be given, particu- larly, according to the American cus- tom, to the leading house.
 ''In some quarters it is remarked that if the loan is offered for public subscription it will be a strange kind of neutrality on the part of a country which also finances sales of war ma- terial to Germany's enemies"

she would be given coal enough to reach Emden, the nearest German port. A British ship would be sent to Harwich. All this is generally understood as an established rule of war. But when a foreign aviator. through lack of gasoline is obliged to land upon neutral territory he IS. interned for the rest of the war. Ap- parently he does not come under ths class of the warships, for in that case he would obtain a few cans Of oil and would be given a chance to fly home. Tn the same way, if tho flying machine were given equal rights with the warship, a broken ma chine might stay upon neutral ground in order to get repaired before it once more took to the open sky. In times to come all this may be regu- lated, but at the present time a num- Der of aviators walk around in Dutch and Danish and Swiss fortresses and express their opinion of rule which to them seems entirely unfair.
 Peculiar Rule.
 When an aviator lands in the sea and he is picked up by a neutral fish ing or merchant vessel he may go home freely. If however he is pick ed up by a torpedo boat of neutral nation, that neutral nation is obliged to intern their involuntary guest. This rule however only counts for aviators.

BITTER

Complain Action of British GoV- ernInent Has Cost Them Heavy

fCorrespondence of tAe Associated Press.l
 Christiania, Norway, Oct Nor wegian ship-owners complain bitter ly against the practice of English warships in forcing Norwegian ves- sels bound for Norway to put back to British port. In many cases these Norwegian ships have been outside of the war zone, and, on their being forced to return to British ports they have been the victims of German sub- marines. Had the vessels been left alone by the British ships they would have reached their home port safely.
 Protests from Norway to England have been met by the answer that the British government will hold itself responsible for Norwegian shipping that is treated in this manner but the

WAR BIRDS NEED SOME LEGAL RIGHTS Rules That Apply to Seamen Are
 Vastly Different

Correspondence of the Associated Press.l
 The Hague, Sept. 19.-The large number of foreign aviators who day after day come tumbling out of cloudy sky into the territory of the Ne11perlands have drawn attention to the absolute lack of legislation re- garding shipwrecked aviators.
 No Law for Aviators.
 sInternational law and the law of various nations have regulated the rights of foreign men of war who are foLced to seek a temporary refuge into a neutral port. The foreign warship may repair the damages it has suffered and it may take on board sufficient coal to sail to next home port. If a German cruiser should suddenly arrive in Dutch harbor

Norwegian owners continue to their ships destroyed.
 Case of Trondhjemsfjord.

The question has become especially acute since tner Norwegian- American line steamer Trondhjenasfjord was tor Iedoed by German submar1nenJuly 31. An English cruiser had stopped the steamer, put prize crew on board and directed the vessels's course to Kirkwall, when the torpedoing oc- cured. The Norwegian press com blaming against the British admiralty assert that the steamer was loaded in York under the supervision of three inspectors from the British consulate who sealed the ships hatches, and among the ships pa- pers was an affidavit from the con- sulate to the effect that the ships had no other cargo than. what the papers showed Aside from this, the No~- wegian government had guaranteed that possible contraband would not be reshipped from Norway to any of the belligerent countries. Notwithstand- ing this the ship was seized, prize flag hoisted and the unlawful prize was directed toward Kirkwall. The chief of the German submarine torpedoed the steamer because it was bought from England last December and was therefore, according to his instruction considered to be an English ship.
 Loss of Millions.
 The loss of the Trondhjemsfjord amounts to several million dollars, only partly covered by insurance. There was no contraband on board according to German rules. The car go consisted of 6O,000. bushels of grain, pork and tobacco.
 The loss of Norwegian ships since the war broke out a year ago amounts to about $10,O00,0 900 of which only four million was covered by insurance the rest falls on the ship owners. The majority of the ships have been torpedoed by German submarines, several without warning.

to go free no matter who saved them. But the aviator who is fished out of his wrecked machine by an of ficial vessel belonging to neutral navy losses his liberty for the rest of the war while he would be all lowed to go home if he waited few minutes longer for a fishing sloop.
 One Way Out.
 A rather complicated question arises, when an aviator just before he is approached by naval launch dives from his machine and claims his right to liberty as a distressed mariner" Unfortunately ride of several hours upon the choppy waves of the North sea sitting on the wings of disabled flying machine seem to produce a state of abject seq. sick ness And the aviators who might have availed themselves of the tech nica1 rights of their case as dis tressed mariners" were usually in such an advanced state lof seasick in- difference that they cared not what happened as long as they were hoist ed on board something stable.
