.ROTHSCHILDS FIX
BIG FRENCH LOAN
Will Borrow Here PraCti-
cally Unlimited Amounts
for Government.
FIRST CREDIT FOR
ONE YEAR AT 5 p. c.
Proceeds Will Pay for War Pur,
chaseS in This COuntry-H. p.
Dawson in London.

Definite announcement was made
Yesterday by J. p. Morgan & Co. that
arrangements had been completed for
q loan the proceeds of which will be
available to the French government for
/ the continuation of purchases of war
/ supplies in this country. The negotl-
I GtiOns were carried on with the ROths-
/ Childs Of Paris, who, in view of their
powerful influence in the world of
finance, II is understood, were led
through patriotic motives TO lend their
support to the scheme.
Members of the Morgan firm stated
that it was impossible to say at this
time what the initial loan would be.
Originally the amount was fixed at
S30,000,000, but it is understood that
this has since been raised to a higher
limit, estimated anywhere from S40,-
100000 to S75,000,000. The collateral
will be American securities, which, ac-
cording to yesterdays announcement,
viii be deposited in the Morgan vaults
The firms statement reads:
THE Rothschilds in Paris have ar
ranged to borrow in this market for
period Of one year a considerable
which the Rothschilds will make avail
for the payment Of its commercial OBJ
legations in this country. The loan
will be secured by high grade Ameri-
can railway bonds to be lodged with
!. L. Morgan e. Co. in New York. II
+ impossible to state at this time the
amount of the loan.
Unless present plans are changed,
the interest rate will be close to per
cent. II is understood that a number
of New York banks will share in the
loan with the Morgan firm, including
the Guaranty Trust Company, the Ma
tional City Bank and the First Ma
tional Bank. There will be no public
Offering.
1t is believed that within the next
few months further loans will be made
running into many millions of dollars,
as the banks of this country have in
their vaults hundreds of millions of
dollars available for investment. The
surplus Of the New York Clearing
House banks alone over the legal re-
quirements is in excess of S2OO,OOO,OOO.
Frances need for the establishment
Of war credit here was again brought
to attention in the figures showing the
value of goods taken out of this port
for the week ended June 10. Exports
for that period tot-lled S8,27O,566. Al
though exchange on Paris broke to
new low levels yesterday it is now be-
licved by experts that the new arrange
ment with France will be followed by
frmer tone TO the market.
Members o. Morgan & Co. refused to
discuss the presence in London OF
Henry 2. Dawson, which has been sur
rounded with so much secrecy, but the
understanding in financial circles is
u.at Mr. Dawson has gone abroad TO
answer the crcitisms that have been
made in Parliament against his firm in
its capacity of commercial agent for
the British government in this country.
1t was also understood that Mr.. Davi,,
son will arrange for the deposit and
transfer of the collateral which is TO be
deposited with his firm.

U.BOAT DESTROYS
CARGO, FREES ship
Norwegian Steamer Given
Choice of Torpedo or
Loss of Goods.

Newcastle, England, June 22.-The
Norwegian mail steamer Venus ar
rived here to-day minus the larger part
of her cargo, which was thrown over
board, the captain asserted, under a
threat of a German submarine COM
mander that otherwise the Venus would
be sunk.
The captain says that the Venus was
hsiled by the submarine and given the
alternative of jettisoning all foodstuFs
en- board or being sent TO the bottom,
and that in order to save his boat sew
eral hundred casks of butter and many
cases Of salmon and other timed fish
were consigned to the sea. The re-
mainder of the freight on the Venus,
consisting of wood, was permitted to
remain on board.
This is the first time that German
submarine boat is reptted to have per-
mitted a vessel to escape under such
terms.

Members of Commons
Asked to Give Up Pay

London, June 22.-The voluntary
REIMBURSEMENT of their salaries BY
members of the House of Commons
for the period Of the war was sug-
gested in the House to-day BY Sir
Arthur y. Markham, Liberal. Pre-
mier Asquith promised to consider
the question, although, he said. he
thought it was a matter for the
House itself to decide.
Mr.. Markham's plea was based
on the necessity Of economy and
retrenchment in all branches Of the
public service" but he said he was
willing that members with private
incomes of less than $4,000 should
continue TO draw the emolument OF
$4,000 paid TO members of the
House.

London. June % From the moment

was every indication that the new war
loan. which gives the Chancellor Of the
ENcheQuer blank check for a sum
which may amount at maximum
20 $1,000 100000 100000, was
going TO be q gigantic success. The
number of subscribers to the Novem-
Der loan totallcd $4,000, but by 10
O'Clock this morning more than 4,OOO,-
coo application forms had been dis
tributcd Early to-day the secretary
Of the Bank of England said:
The new loan is proving as popular
Il 10, more so, than any preceding
loans. The public is taking II up pri-
marily with the purpose Of helping
things along toward the desired early
finish Of the war, rather than with the
desire OF making money
At the Bank itself, where only null
t.plcs Of hundred pounds were avail
able, there was Disk and STEADY
stream of applicants which never
wavercd for an instant. The large
Joint stock banks were even buster,
while the postotfices exhausted their
supplies before they had been open an
hour.
The issue was the sole topic of con-
versation throughout London to-day.
There seemed a unanimous opinion
even among the poorest, that It was
essential that they participate, even
though unable to produce more than
five shillngs for one voucher.
Edwin Montague, Financial Secretary
Of the Treasury, met representatives OF

Bill Passes Commons Enabling
Government to Control Situa4
tion-PrOvides Penalties.

London, June 22.-An Order in
Council is about to be issued prohib-
iting expectation of all goods to Hol-
land except those consigned to The
Netherlands Overseas Trust, a measure
which is expected to stop the trade
now believed to be passing through
Holland into Germany. The announce
ment was made in the House Of Com
mons to-day by Captain +. G.. Pretty
man, Parliamentary Under Secretary
to the Board of Trade.
Expectation of goods TO The Neither
lands Overseas Trust would be equiva-
lent to a guarantee that no goods,
either in the form received or in a
subsequent form, would reach coun-
try hostile to Great Britain.
Trust Plan Approved.
Mr. Pretyman told of the govern
ment's intention while introducing the
customs expectation restriction BILL
which later passed all stages. He ex-
planned that a partial arrangement
with The Netherlands Trust had been
in operation for some time, and that
the British Consul had made a favor
able report. He added that the sooner
the trade now passing through Hol-
land into Germany was stopped the
better it would be for the interests OF
England. The bill would enable the
extension of similar control over the
exports to other neutral countries.
Provision is made in the bill for a
fine of $4,000 or imprisonment for two
years for violation of it's terms. Con.
signors and shippers will be equally
responsible.
To Hold Exports to Normal.
Mr.. Pretyman said it was proposed
not only to regulate the number OF
consignments exported, but to keep a
careful record of the amount of each
article going to certain countries, and
to prohibit further expectation imme-
dately it appeared that more of any
article was going to any country than
could normally be consumed there.
A special committee will be APP
pointed to deal with licenses for ex-
porting cotton. Mr.. Pretyman said all
cotton products would be on the pro-
hibited lists.

For Beautiful Hair,
N0uriSh the Scalp

Dandruff must be removed and the
hair roots nourished to stop falling
hair and itching scalp. 1t is unneces-
sary to have thin, brittle. matted,
stringy or faded hair. No matter how
unsightly the hair, how badly it IS
falling, or how much dandruff. Paris
ian Sage rubbed into the scalp is all
that is ever needed. The hair roots are
nourished and stimulated to grow new
hair, even all dandruff is removed with
one application, and itching scalp and
falling hair cease; the hair becomes
soft, sGffy, abundant and radiant with
life and beauty.
Partisan Sage, daintily perfumed
liquid, is one Of the most pleasant, in
MIGRATING and refreshing hair tonics
known, yet perfectly harmless and
inexpensive. After the first application
you will be surprised and delighted
with Partisan Sage, for there is moth
ing that will so help to double your
present attractiveness as luxuriant,
glorious hair, and this tonic treatment
is all that can possibly be desired.
Be sure to get Partisan Sage from
Bowditch, Webster Co, or at any drug
or toilet counter, as there is no other
so effective.
Sold and guaranteed in Gardiner by
