AhkERS MAY REFUSE LOAN b., port that Commission is Finding Difficulty in Placing the Unse-
 cured Bonds Offered.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-It is re- ted that a deadlock exists between
 commissioners of the British and ench governments here to arrange
 huge loan and the bankers financ-
 the loan as to the purposes for ich the money may be used. Many Americas most prominent fiEan- rs have offered to subscribe to the notwithstand> ls the fact that
 bonds are not backed by the usu- securities or collateral on the un- standing that proceeds are to oe d to finance the purchases of the ropean countries other than mu- ions.
 t is even reported that the plans .aising the immense loan in Amer
 may be abandoned for the time 1 that the Allies are prepared to elsewhere for the money and will iertake to create a new source of ,ply for munitions.
 That the European powers are on ir knees begging the United States supply the money is said to be the w held by many American bank 2, and it will not surprise Wall 4eet should the negotiations be spped, by the commissioners.
 t is understood that tremendous ssure is being brought to bear ,n President Wilson to have him estigate the loan and the effects ich it may have upon the business erests of the country. The claim is de that cotton shippers who have lions of dollars worth of cotton ,1 up in England have been active securing subscribers to the loan, ying been promised a settlement Ger the bonds had been placed.

IMAGE TO NAVIGATION DISCOVERED BY DRAG NET

Giving still further proof of the
 ue of wire drag surveys in finding
 )merged rocks that menace the
 ss of passengers travelling in the ast waters, the United States Coast l Geodetic Survey has discovered iubmerged rock at the side of Clar- :e Strait channel. It lies in such position that in foggy weather it ,resented an unknown danger.
 News of the discovery of the rock Is announced yesterday by lnspec- q J. F. Pratt, of the Geodetic Sur r. The rock was found by one of B survey services two-wire drag srties now operating in Southeast h Alaska. It has depth of l2 st of water over it at mean low wa J and has a width of fifty-five yards it's upper surface. Kelp grows on fs rock, but at nearly all times ex- Sot slack water is lowed under by sal currents so that it cannot be re- Id on as a means of locating the dden menace.
 The rock lies 1900 yards from Pt. anhope in latitude 56:00:20 N,
 d longitude 132sS6:45 West, and n readily be plated on the charts
 it's position coincides with the up IT left hand portion of the only H. thom sounding off Pt. Stanhope Ho other rocks, both kelp marked gre discovered between the hidden hril and Pt. Stanhope. As Clarence .rait forms one of the most impor Int channels in Southeastern Alas | waters, the charting of the sunker Pck is of the greatest value to thu dwelling public.
 Last spring the United States Coas nd Geodetic Survey sent the tw' ire drag parties to Southeastern laska waters. The navigation men ,es just discovered during the sum ,er have justified the work man, mes over, according to mariners, ad ing greatly to the safety of both pas sngers and ships. There is a gen ral demand in shipping circles a fell as the travelling public on tn llaska routes that the governmen bntinue the work.-Seattle Times

U-BOAT EYES PUT OUT
 WITH OIL ON THE SEA.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-A curious story has reached this city in a roundabout way concerning novel measures taken by the British gov- ernment to combat the German sub marines. A New Yorker in casual conversation yesterday with the sk'p- per of an AngloAmerican tank line steamer, sailing from New York har- bor for the war zone, inquired if he was having any touble discharging cargo on the other side.
 "Not with the last three or four cargoes," replied the skipper. "Our point of delivery is indicated to us by latitude and longitude. It is al- ways some point in the so-called sub- marine war zone. When we reach that spot we start our pumps and dis charge our cargo of oil overheard, meanwhile steaming in constantly widening circle. When our tanks are empty our work is done, and we come home again for more oil."
 The eye of a submarine is it's peri scope. If that be blinded the subma- rine is helpless. A submarine rising to look for prey merely thursts it's periscope out of the water and a p'c- ture of the surrounding sea is -e. fiected on a mirror below. If there is oil on the surface of the water the periscope reflector is "gummed" ard the picture cannot be transmitted To clean it's periscope the submarine must come to the surface and open it's matches; it cannot be done while the vessel remains submerged.
 "I have wondered" said the skip
 per of the tanker, eff the spraying oi oil on the waters has had anything to do with the increased success o1 the British patrol boats in combat ing the submarines"
 An officer of a United States war
 ship now in New York harbor, saic
 yesterday that he had never heare lof oil being poured upon the waters Ito blind submarines. The oil woulc
 dim the picture he said. but woult
 not destroy the reflection altogether The only way to cleanse the peris cope of the oil he said would be fol : the submarine to come to the sur face to enable the members of thu crew to reach it from the deck.
 At Bayonne, where the Standard Oil tank ships load, an official sai' last night that he had never hear' of any steamer emptying her carg : upon the sea, but it might be don : unknown to persons on this side There are several tank steamers em ployed by the British governmen which carry from 45,000 to 5000 : barrels of oil at loading and tn 8 Admiralty orders could be sent t 9 their captains he said,. without tn t Standard Oil people being any wiser

President Gets Bar of
Gold For Wedding Ring
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Oct. 20.-Presi-
dent Wilson to-day received a dele
cation of women and girls from Cali
fornia, who gave him a piece of gold
from California mine and also bar
of gold to make a wedding ring for
Mrs. Norman Gait, his fancee. The
delegation also brought petitions
signed by 100000 Californians urging
the President to visit the San Fran
cisco exposition before it closes in De-
cember. Later the women gave to
Mrs. Gait a cluster of California
orange blossoms.
The petitions were presented by
Altha McCuen, an 11-year-old school
girl C San Francisco, whose letter of
invitation to the President was the
best of those written by the grammar
school children of that city,
Miss Esther E;ull, of San Francisco,
the bearer of the orange blossoms, told
the President it had been planned to
give them to him, but that the women
thought it better to present them to
Mrs. Gait.
