GERMANY May PROTEST
BILLION DOLLAR LOAN
BY U. s: TO THE ALLIES

WASHINGTON, Sept 15.-Germany
is likely to lodge with the United
States protest against the flotation
of a billion dollar loan to the allies in
this country.
This was learned in official German
quarters here today. Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador, in re-
ply to an inquiry as to the truth of the
report, said he had received no in
structions from his government. He
admitted, however, that in the event
that the loan is made without security
he probably will file protest alleging
that the financial proposition repre-
sents a violation of American neutral
ity.
His contention is that while a loan
on ample security would have the ap-
pearance Of straight business propo-
sition, loan without security would
have the aspect of assistance furnish
ed belligerents by neutral country
for other than purely business reasons
In high official circles it was said
that the United States government
neither would approve nor disapprove
the loan which is being negotiated by
representatives of the European allies
in this country.

BY the same method used by John
Locke, of Hagerstown, who escaped
from the county Jail nine years ago.
Ben F. Miller, who had been held at
the county Jail awaiting trial for burg
larry, made his escape early this morn
ing by saving off an iron bar, climb
ing up the chimney and sliding to
the ground on rope made of knotted
bed clothing. The Jail delivery was
made about l O'Clock. and it was
more than a half hour before the es-
cape was discovered by Sheriff Steen.
The flight had been carefully planned.
Miller was arrested on August II
after he had entered the basement of
Ben Barters house. South Eighteenth
street, and had committed several rob
berries in other parts of the city. He
was only captured after a thrilling
chase through Glen Miller park.

How Miller secured the saws to cut
the one and half inch bar is a puzzle
to Sheriff Steen. II is presumed, how
ever, that he received the tools in
letters which he has been receiving
the last two weeks. He has been re-
ceiving letters almost daily from his
wife in Louisville, KY, as well as from
many firms for which he had worked.
He would have been taken into court
two weeks ago, but his wife pleaded
