GERMAN LOAN
CoOBt1nusd FROM FTst ras.S

O62 500. 900 and Germany s6.250.OO0-
900 in long term loans whereas Eng
lands war expenditures up TO the
present time are hardly less than Ge--
many's and soon will exceed Ger
manys. for England is now spending
nearly 100000 pounds sterling (S25.-
00O.0O daily against Germany's not
much above 100000 pounds sterling
1915, 200. 0O0). That means that Ger
many is spending % cents per capital
daily and England IS cents. ! doubt
therefore. whether Englands finan-
ciers possess confidence that their re-
sources will outlast ours.
Everything said abroad about Ge--
many putting on pressure and using
force TO secure subscriptions TO the
loan Is a pure invention. We appealed
solely to the financial power and pa
triotism of our fellow citizens. Our
success must open the worlds eyes
TO a recognition OF how strong Is Ger
many's financial power and how strong
her will.
Il am confident that the success OF
this loan. which proves that we are
standing firmly on our own feet will
contribute toward the good relations
between Germany and the United
! States. notwithstanding the Morgan

Army officers, IL was learned today.
are trying to learn the identity OF
persons instigating attacks upon
American soldiers; whether they are
simply bandits or whether operating
Indirectly behind the bandits there
are lawless clements among the
Americans themselves.
Investigation has been under way
for some time regarding the actions
of few Americans suspected OF caus-
ing trouble in the immediate vicinity
OF the Rio Grande. No American is
believed 20 have attacked soldiers
directly. the Investigation covering
suspected smuggling plots and re-
ports that the general exodus OF Mexi-
cans is furnishing a field for ricn
profits for persons desiring to buy
cheaply the property Of these refu-
gees.
II has been reported that some law
less elements are interested in stir
ring up further trouble in order TO
cause the Mexicans to let lose or
property more freely. These include
not only Americans but Mexicans on
the other side OF the river Reliable
reports have been received that some
Mexican military men In Matamoras
have received revenues in the form OF
illegal taxes upon smuggled live
stock. The constant army patrol
tends 10 interfere with smuggling.
Governor James f. Ferguson. or

officials that martial law under the

OF continued reports OF laxness In civil
administration. None OF the respon-
sible officials OF this section has been
suspicioned but few minor officials
have been closely watched for some
time. One complaint in particular
has been made that these suspected
persons when offering their services
