ASQU|TH ASKS
VOTE OF CREDIT
British Premier Wants ST.
SO,OOO,OOO More.
SEVENTH SINCE WAR BEGAN

Total Of ss,a1o,ooo,ooo Appropriated
by House of Commons in Little
More Than One Year-NearIy Three
Million Engllshmen Now in the
Ranks.
London, Sept. 16.-The seventh vote
of credit since the outbreak of the
war, bringing up the total to e1,262,-
100000 ($6,310,O00,0 0,00O), was moved in
the house of commons by Premier As
quith, The amount asked for was
$3.50, 100000 (S1,250,0 600 ,000).
The premier also announced that
nearly 100000 men had enlisted. He
made this statement in reviewing the
financial and military situations, so
far as military exigencies permitted;
but this requirement necessitated in
many instances only vague references
to the trend of events.
The growing expenditures for the
war were emphasized by the premier.
He said the average daily cost from
April l to the end of June was e.,
100000 ($13,500, 0,000); from July l to
II, G3,O00000; from July Is to Sept
IL, f3,500, 900. Thus the total for
this period in round figures is e500,-
100000. There has been repaid e50,-
100000 to the Bank of England, G30,.
100000 has been lent to foreign gov
ernments and 2S,000,000 lent to the
dominions
Abnormal Items Kept Secret.
Comparing actual expenditures since
the last vote of credit with estimates
Mr.. Asquith said there had been some
abnormal items to be enclosed which
would not be in the public report, but
that these expenditures were incurred
for the purpose Of financing necessary
operations. Part of this amount was
to be repaid in a few months and the
remainder represented advances for
future expenditures.
Reviewing the military situation Mr.
Asquith stated that in France and
Flanders the position of the British
troops had been strengthened every
where by large reinforcements of men
and munitions and that there had
been a considerable extension of lines
taken over from the French.
In the Dardanelles, he continued,
the British had made substantial
gains. though they had not succeeded
in dislodging the Turks from the
crest of the hills. The British now
hold a front of more than twelve
miles.
In the east, Mr. Asquith said, the
Russian army remains unbroken. He
asserted that the superiority of the
Germans was only in artillery and
that their objective was still far out
of reach.

ALLECE PLOT
AGAINST LIVES
Allies Finance Commission
erS Warned by Police.
MUCH OPPOSITION SHOWN

Run on Banks Participating in FIota-
tion of Proposed Loan Among the
Threats Made by Those Who object
to the Deal.
New York, Sept 16.-The pro-Ger-
man campaign against the fiotation of
a billion-dollar credit loan in the
United States to Great Britain and
France appears to assume the proper
tions OF countrywide plot, threaten
ing even the personal safety of the
six members of the Anglo-French
financial commission.
Members of this commission, of
which Lord Reading, lord chief jus
tice of England, is chairman, have
doubled their bodyguards. They have
been requested by the police of New
York not to announce in advance their
plans for any day and in no instance
to appear on the streets without de-
tectives guarding them
More than fifty threatening letters
have been received by the commits
sion Their contents run the scale
from abuse to threats against the
lives of the commissioners Some of
the most threatening of these letters
have been turned over to the police
for investigation, it is said, and New
York detectives are reported to be en-
gagged in seeking the writer's.
Members Go About SngIy.
Largely upon advice of the police
the commissioners do not visit the
financial section in a body or even in
couples. Each commissioner travels
through the streets of New York un-
accompanied by any other commits
sioner in his trips about the city
Whether this active opposition is
sporadic in its nature or is organized
is not known. Bankers and other
callers at the headquarters of the
commission have expressed the view.
CLEANED from their talks with the com

commissioners themselves is that Ii
is of an organized nature.
Other forms of the opposition to
the fiotation of the big loan, accord
ing to word received by the commits
sion, has been evidenced in wide
spread threats by depositors that par
ticipation by the banks in which they
have funds would be followed by with
drawals.
In the case of savings banks, the
drawals of funds approaching the

Alfalfa Blight.

Colorado is suffering from new
menace to its alfalfa crop. in the
shape OF the black stem blight which
first made its appearance last year,
but which is spreading fast The
first cutting on the North Side tract
this year is not quite up to the stan
dard. but the shortage in the crop Is
attributed to the heavy snow fall
and the cold weather in May. 1t

some sections every field is affected.

The disease appears after late
freezes or frosts and Is so often taken
to be merely frost damage.
When the field is suffering from
the black stem blight the general ap-
pearance is that Of field that might
be suffering from lack OF moisture
The alfalfa is short and the plant
seems TO be little OFF color
Closer examination will show
many yellow or orange colored leaves
which may be taken to be merely the
effects Of frosts. True frost damage
Is usually lighter in color, and more
often shows on the top leaves OF the
plant. With day or two parts OF
he stem will have d semi-transpar-
ent appearance
Later this will become yellowish to
olive green. In a few more days the
stems become brownish in color and
have the appearance of having been
vanished. There is a reddish brown
color found on some healthy stems,
which must not be confused with the
follow of the disease germ.
Past experiences has shown that
The only successful way of handling
this condition is by cutting the al

growth TO start at once and will also

When the crop is cut, however. one

amount OF hay which the field shoul,

has shown that this will mean al
