Whether or not the allies are allow
ed 10 use their big loan in this coun-
try to purchase munitions of war is of
no consequence whatever. If the war
continues England and France will
he obliged to transfer gold to this
country and this with the interest on
American securities held in France
and England will pay for all the war
munitions they are likely to buy. 1t
merely releases the loan funds to
buy food, clothing, machinery, etc
To separate the two is merely of SEN
timental rather than actual import
ance. The real Importance of the
loan from the allies point of view is
to tie this country closer to their
cause. Up to within a short time it
has not seemed possible that the
allies could be beaten in the long run
but, with the crushing of the great
armies of Russia, the gradual exhaus-
ton of France, the failure of Italy to
make Roadway and the seeming lack
of loyalty among a large proportion
of the English people, renders the
outlook for. the allies far less bright.
If they are facing defeat they need
the support of the United States to
prevent the imposition of too severe
terms. If1they owe the citizens of
this country a billion dollars the Unit
ed States cannot afford to have them
squeezed beyond ability to pay. The
big loan is1a legitimate investment
for American bankers and it is an
anchor to- 5windward for Great Brit
ain and FRANCE.

BULGARIA. IN TURMOIL
Apparently Don't Know Which Way
nv to Flop,

LondonY Sept. 19.-The political
situation in the Balkans is still
| shrouded with considerable mystery.
| There is now talk in Berlin of the
Bulgarians Selling by force, If they
cannot get them otherwise, the port
ions of Macedonia taken from them
by the Serbians and Greeks at the
close of the last Balkan war. 1t is as
serted that Bulgaria has called the
Macedonian Bulgars to the colors
and that there Is a warlike feeling in
existence among the Bulgars general
~.
With Bulgaria surrounded by Ser
bia, Greece and Rumania, and her
coasts open to attack by Anglo
French, Italian, and Russian fleets
however, it is believed here that Bull
garia will hesitate before throwing i'll
her lot with the Central Powers and
Turkey, fsssE sfSs ssi,as.sass1ss1
Turkey is declared to be having her
own troubles over thescession or the
Dedeaghatch Railway. The Mussul-

A dispatch to Reuters Telegram
Company from Sofia, dated Sept II,
says
THE Opposition leaders at their
audience with King Merdinand de-
clared that it would be fatal for the
country to continue its neutral policy,
and in order to safeguard the country
against a policy which would be con-
trary to the interests and sentiments
of the nation, they recommended the
formation of q coalition Cabinet and
the immediate summoning Of Parlia-
ment.
"The King listened attentively to
the speeches of the Opposition lead
ers and promised seriously to consid-
er the views expressed by them. AT
ter the audience the King summoned
Premier Radoslavoff.
Five political parties were repre-
scented at the audience and the lead
err of each outlined at length the
views of his party on the political
situation. The eagerness of the King
to receive the deputation has consid-
erably relieved public feeling"

The loan to the allies is said to be
now assured and the American pub
lie will doubtless soon have a chance
to absorb the securities. While there
seems no reason to doubt the securi-
ty offered, with the war at its present
stage, the bonds are for men who are
willing to take little risk and
should not be considered for trust
funds where absolute safety is de-
handed
