HALF-BILLI0N
PROMISED
Loan to Allies May Be In
creased to $780,
100000
PROPOSAL NOT
WHOLLY ACCEPTABLE
To New York Financiers--
Interest to Be s
Per Cent.

New York, Sept. ls.-Another secret
meeting--the third within three days
was held yesterday between members OF
the Anglo French financial commission
and representatives OF New York, Chi
eapo, Boston and other out OF town
banking houses, WHO are endeayoring 10
reach an agreement on the terms OF the
proposed mammoth credit loan to Great
Britain and France.
No further word was Forthcoming
from the commission than its mief
statement of Thursday night that 50
much had already been accomplished
that it was hoped definite statement
could soon be issued telling of the prog
ress already made.
The proposal, said to have been made
by American bankers, that the commits
sion would be loaned half the sum they
originally asked for was widely credited
Yesterday. The commission let 1T be
known soon after its arrival here, that
II was seeking billion dollars. Five
hundred million, it is said, have been
promised.
This proposal has not appeared 70 DC
altogether acceptable to the commission,
and it is believed that the sum viii be
increased by 100000, 900 or possibly TO
$3.50, 100000 before negotiations end.
Whatever is loaned, it Is generally be-
Iicved the interest rate win be Gye per
cent TO the investor and about five and
one. half per cent to the underwriters.
Whether the big credit should be used
TO pay for shipments OF war munitions
as well as wheat, cotton and other COM
modities has been the subject Of much
discussion among the commissioners and
their financial agents and other confer
ees here. II is believed that much
larger loan could be fioated il it were
understood that the credit would apply
only TO commodity shipments and that
munitions OF war would be paid for in
some other manner, possibly by direct
shipments of gold.

PICKING UP
Demand for Paper Money Is
an Indication of I'M
provement
OUTPUT INCREASES
$4,000 SHEETS A DAY
This, However, Is Not to
Augment the Total
Amount

Washington, Sept. ls.--Improved bus
mess conditions are indicated by the in
crease in demands for paper money, ac-
cording to treasury department officials
To meet the demand for United States
notes and silver and gold certificates,
Secretary McAdoo yesterday authorized
the director of the bureau of engraving
and printing to increase the daily out
put Of paper money by 10000 sheets. Di-
rector Ralph, of the bureau, said the in
creased demand shows that money is
circulating more freely. Mr.. McAdoo's
order does not increase the total amount
Of paper money, but is designed to keep
up the reserve stock of the treasury
in order that notes which come in for
redemption may be re-issued immedi-
ately.

New York, Sept. ls.--Since 1910, when
the last of the Vanderbilt cup contests

no auto race OF national Importance mas
been held in the vicinity Of New York.
To-day. however, when the new Sleeps

the track which has been constructed py
men who had the advantage OF studying
the construction of the Chicago, indian

ranking of foremost player of the year
A study of Johnston's section of the
draw and the record he made therein
shows that he played and won seven
matches against the best Of the eastern
and western racquet wielders. During
these matches, Johnston faced oppo-
nents in 81 sets, of which be captured all
but six. Reduced still further, the
score sheets prove that his progress
through the tournament was accom-
plished by playing 200 games, of which
he won 1853 and lost l06
The complete record of the tourna-
ment, which opened with an entry of l2S

The complete record Of Ty Cobb's ten
years in major league baseball is clear
index of the wonderful ability of this
diamond star. Cobb joined the Detroit
club on Aug. 20, 1905, and during the
decade in which he has played for the
Tigers has rolled up grand batting
average of .35s in l ,239 games. In this
period Cobb went to bat 4,6s5 times,
making 1929 hits and SIS runs. He also
has ass stolen bases to his credit, an
average of As and fraction year.
That the national game still holds
big corner in the hearts of Americans
was never more clearly demonstrated
than when, a few days ago, President
Wilson pitched ball out on the diamond
at the opening of game between anna
teur teams near Washington, ID. c. The
occasion was 20 raise funds for the. en-
tertainment of veterans at an eneamp-
ment. Although matters Of grave inter
national importance had been discussed
earlier in the day by the president and
Secretary Lansing, both Of them, as well
as other members of the cabinet, drove
10 the grounds from their official quar-
tiers as though nothing but peace reigned
over the entire globe. The weather was
blistering hot, but President Wilson and
the other visitors remained interested
spectators throughout the game, fire.

The National Conventions.

Chicago. aspiring to the title OF
1.-THE Convention City" wants to play
host next year for both the demo-
Gratis and the republicans.
The question of locality as respects
the national convention possesses
more interest for the latter than for
the former With eastern men, mid
die state men, and western men on
their list of presidential aspirants,
the republicans must consider the in
huence of local sentiment on the
non1ina ting body.
But the democrats. as matters
stand. have but one candidate. If
they cannot elect Mr.. Wilson they
cannot elect anybody. This is ap-
parent to all experienced politicians.
1t may be that their case is hopeless.
But they could not afford to confess
as much by turning down the man
under whose leadership the record
upon which the party is appealing
for Endorsement has been made.
What would democratic stumpers
say in behalf of any other candidate?
How could they give to the dethrone-
ment of Mr.. Wilson any other as
pect than that of despairing grasp
at a straw? Who would subscribe
to a campaign fund for promoting
impossible fortunes?
Since it must be and will be Will
son, what has the democratic COM
mittee to consider but the question
of personal comfort for the dele
gates? There must be. of course. a
building suitable for convention pur-
poses. Lodging accommodations are
likewise factor Railroad connec-
tons play an important part. The
weather is a minor matter. When
the delegates warm to their work
and visitors to the spectacle, the sun,
however industrious, will not be an
object of special study. In the good
old summer ting he has way of
making himself disagreeable every
where. His activities are all in the
days wash.
Still. the democratic convention
should be a lively meeting, and
should be we'll staged. A platform
covering what has been done and
what remains to be done will not be
easily prepared. At St. Louis in
1888 Mr.. Cleveland was the only man
in sight. There were many demo-
Gratis who would have been glad to
throw him over, but none proposed,
or would have joined. such a move
ment. His denomination by acclama-
tion was conceded before the conven-
ton assembled.
There was, however, spirited tus-
sic over the platform; and Mr.. Cleve-
land got the worst of it. The tariff
plank he had sent out for adoption
was rejected, and he was forced to
stand, not on revision of his record,
which he desired, but on the record
as he had made it the previous De-
cember. And, later he was laid out
at the polls.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-07-12

he has changed his mind and gone
over to the gold side to come out and
admit his error, and try to repair the
damage he's done
YES. l like that in him."
And now that he's at last on the
right side he may do some good in
future"
"If he'll only stick. Politicians have
such a way of changing from side to
side on questions. But, after this, II
ever he comes out for free silver
coinage again he'll ruin himself"
And thus two of his countrymen
disposed of the great champion Of
the gold standard, apd the minister
of finance in the Hayes administra-
ton who had written his name large
on the financial history of the United
States.
Said one of Byrons heroes on the
eve of conflict: IF I fall. see that
my name is spelled correctly in the
reports" Statesmen should see that
their names are not attached to
measures with every provision OF
which they are not in agreement. All
important legislation carries more or
less compromise; but in some COM
promises are perils which though
small when accepted may attain very
large and dangerous proportions at
a later day.

That Excess Baggage Provision.

Senator Cummins has a grievance
He is not responsible for the excess
baggage provision in the amendment
to the interstate commerce law bear
ing his name. He opposed the pro-
vision. And yet because the provision
is a part of his amendment he is be-
ing lambasted by travellers all over
the country.
1t is a serious matter, for the rea-
son that Mr.. Cummins is supposed to
have the White House in mind, and
is now taking a look around in the
interest of his candidacy. At this
season of the year travellers are
thick; and it is annoying for him to
meet criticism on this score every
where he goes. He is protesting
loudly against the unjust punish
ment
II was while the fight was on in
Congress in the fall of 1893 for the
repeal of the silver purchasing clause
of the Sherman act that two men
fell to discussing the matter and what
it was all about. They were very
lazy. and therefore the more earnest
in their expressions.

Hughes and a Deadlock.

Taking for text a letter written
from New York by a staff CORE
spondent of The Star, in which it was
predicted that if the situation in the
next republican national convention
became encouraging the name of Mr..
Justice Hughes would be presented
the New York Times says:
There will certainly be dead
lock in the convention for the rea-
son that there are a dozen candi-
dates already and that nobody can
command majority. If the dead
lock IS prolonged and it becomes i'm
possible to nominate any of the can
didates who lead in the ballotinp
the convention will turn to some new
name. The first name that would
occur to the delegates would be that
OF Justice Hughes. How, in such a
case. he could prevent his own nomi-
nation is not easy to see. He can
prevent any organized movement in
his own behalf. but he can hardly pre-.
vent the convention, on the thirticth
or fortieth ballot. from seeking a new
name and finding his. That the dead.
lock will not be short one the mum.
Der OF candidates, and the aImos,

strengths. makes very probable. l,
