In climate and topography Bulgaria is
much like Servia though Bulgaria's
mountains are higher and she also
has more level land in the valley of
the Danube and on the Black sea.

GERMAN GAIN IN VOSGES

gonne forest. This seemingly indi-
Gates that the long expected offensive
in the west will not much longer be

In these attacks the Germans claim
that they occupied some French
trenches. The French admit this, but
say the German progress was accom-

that in counter attacks the French re-
gained most Of their lost ground at
Hartmans-W eilerkopf. and later re-
pulsed another violent attack against
that position.
Hartmans Weilerkopf. which was
taken by the French during their
spring and summer operations, prob
ably has been the scene of as much
hard fighting as any place on the

SEEK LOAN OF ONE BILLION
Want Huge Sum On Government
Enthusiastically involved.

New York.-The present plan Of the
joint Anglo-French financial commits
sion, 1t has been reported, is to Dor
row one billion dollars In the United
States on straight British and French
government bonds without any col
lateral.
II this vast sun Of money Is OBJ
tanned, 1t was said. 1t is to be spent, to
the last cent, in the United States for
wheat. cotton, meat and other COM
modify shipments. including NUM-
tions OF war. 1t will therefore, in the
opinion OF financial authorities, be
classified as a commercial loan.
Whether the neutrality Of the Unit
ed States would be Questioned. in case
the bankers financing the loan should
accept straight British and French
government notes as security. has
been given serious consideration. 1t
was said fnanciers familiar with the
plan had every reason to believe
Washington would not interfere.
The two chief obstacles that seem
ed to appear obvious were the ques-
ton whether Washington would re-
gard unfavorably the issuance of a
loan based on British and French gov
N bonds as being %unneutral.
and whether the banks of America
could assimilate such a loan without
collateral. In some quarters it Is be-
lieved that the banks could do it. If
so, 1t will have been neither equaled
o approached in the history Of
American finance.
