BACK TO '9s.

Another ten strike has been made by the state department, under the guidance of Secretary Lansing, in mailing as an absolute mendacium the assertion made by propagandists that the United States during the Spanish war requested Germany not to send arms to Spain. A. search of the records of the state department failed tc. show any such evidence. The de- partment never considered 7 such a step, Berlin was not approached, nor was the shipment of arms and mu- ritions of war from Germany to Spain interrupted during 1897-98 And at that time Germany was on most friendly terms with the United States. Just why the American government did not want to embarrass Berlin with such a request is made manifest by this point, brought out by state de- partment officials:- It has always

BIG SYNDICATE TO
 UNDERNEATH LOAN
Nation Wide Movement Here for
 Huge Credit for Allies

New York, Sept. 20.-The largest world has ever known was in process of information today to handle the proposed "billion dollar credit loan to Great Britain and France, which has now shrunk, it was reported to a sum, yet to be determined, between $6OO,OOO,OOO and $SOO,OO0,OO0.
 This mammoth syndicate, according to tentative arrangements said to have been agreed upon, will be nation wide in it's character and will com prise national and state banks and trust companies from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A number of so-called pro-German financiers, it was report ed, will join the syndicate if it be finally agreed that the proceeds of the tig loan shall be available only for commodity exports and not for muni- tions of war.
 Bonds Taken at Par.
 The bonds of the British and French governments issued to secure the issue will be taken at par. The bonds will pay five per cent. interest and will be a first lien upon the en- tire British Empire and France and her colonies. Even the staggering sums raised by bond issues at home, with which the war has been carried On, will come second to the loan to be foated here when the time comes to pay the principal.
 For the first time in. history, the English pound sterling has yielded

Unequal Rights.

(New Haven Journal Courier)
 The supreme court of the state of Oregon has affirmed the constitution ality of the Sunday closing law. In uphOlding the law all material in- dulgences are unlawful save thea ters, drug stores, physicians offices, livery stables, meat markets, baker ies or undertaking establishm ents." One is tempted to rub ones eyes to be sure one is in the land of equal rights and opportunities after this formal revelation of discriminatory concessions.
 If a layman can be trusted to con- sider a court decision of this charac- ter he finds himself forced to con- sider as probably constitutional ir the state of Oregon and indulgence toward which Il majority of the peo- pie appear to be inclined. All that the community has got to do is to pitch in and indulge at pleasure, and then the court will decide, as it did in the case of the theater, that it is necessary as uffording needed men tai diversion. This is Oregons for mal way of doing what this section of the country has been doing infor- mally for years. It is well known that in the state of Connecticut, for example, it is practically impossible for citizen to pass Sunday with out violating the Sunday observance laws, not that he wants to, but that if he strays a foot from the old Puritan sraight and narrow path he runs into danger.
 One of the real reasons why Con- necticut has hesitated to meet a Sun day observance law that might cover the situation is the fear that the dis advantages of such a law, for example as the Oregon law, would out-balance the advantages of letting progress along normal lines find it's own level. Connecticut has gone a long distance from the standards of the Puritails and practically this advance has been secured without legislative assistance. It would seem, after all, that the in vestment of discretionary power ill prosecuting agents would in the long run best meet the situation. Then public opinion, the only safe guide to what is best and proper, would be, as it should be, in full control. The Oregon method would never suit the needs of Connecticut people.

Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 20.-Ths possibility of conscription in Canada probably will be given attention by the Canadian Trades Union congress which convened here today. P.

first place in international finance to the American dollar in this respect the whole big issue of bonds will be pay able in American dollars, principal and interest. For generations past, Great Britain's bonds have been pay able only in sterling.
 Five or Ten Years.
 The bonds will run five years or ten, it is not yet known which.
 In agreeing to have the issue hand led by an underwritering syndicate, the Anglo-French financial commits sion whose errand here is to establish the loan, apparently has deferred to the views of American financiers, the original intention of the commits sion having been reported to provide for general subscription to the bonds without the underwriting as a mid dle man.
 As soon as the definite terms of the proposed loan shall have been agreed upon in their entirely, banks and trust companes throughout the country, it is understood, will be in vited by a general announcement to become parties to the syndicate of underwriters.
 Small Profit for Banks.
 These banks will be given a small profit on the transaction, some where ir the neighborhood of one-half of one per cent, it is believed. Upon this point there had been marked divergence of views, the commissions previous reported attitude having been. that bankers and investors should pay the same price for the bonds. A great many American bank CTS, it is said, demurred to this on the ground that they would be put tc considerable expense in handling the bonds and that reasonable re- turn for their trouble was no more than equitable.
 The next big question to be settled, it was said, was whether munitions of war should be paid for out of the proceeds of the loan. The commits sion is said to believe that the loan should cover munitions; a great many American bankers thing it should not A factor that enters vitally into the
