COMING WAR LOAN
WORRIES GERMANS
Failure of Issue in September
Would Be Fatal Blow to
COuntry'S Credit.

Zurich, July 18.--Telegrams from
Berlin announce that the Minister of
Finance is engaged in preparing a new
war loan bill to be submitted TO the
Reichstac as soon as it meets on
August 10, and the loan to be issued
in September. The price Of the issue
probably will be 80 and the rate of
interest and general conditions the
same as in former loans.
Financial circles in Germany are
looking forward to the issue with some
anxiety, as its failure would be a fatal
blow to German credit. The last lean
was successful only because the gov
eminent modified savings banks,
mortgage banks and insurance com
panies, and these already have ex-
hausted their reserves.
