Britain May Go Across the Pacific for Loan of Fifty Millions
 of Dollars.
NEW PROBLEM IS UP
Scheme Is Expected to Check the Flow of Gold Now Going
 to the U. S.

LONDON, Dec 6. - The Morning Post refers to Japanese loan as. the operation to which 1t has allud- ed. when. in dealing with the Amer lcan Federal Reserve Boards warn ing against investing in foreign treas ury notes. the paper said it believed details had been concluded by which a large amount of dollar credits would shortly come into British pos session for three years.
 The newspaper says this loan will immediately place fully $5O,OOO,OOO at the service of Great Britain in the United States and that it prob ably constitutes the very cheapest form Of obtaining dollar credits in that country at the present time. It contends that this was the real req son for the loan. which was not made because Great Britain needs more money to conduct the war, as this is obtainable at home
 The Morning Post incidentally thinks it possible this will check the flow Of gold from the United States to Japan. which it believes desirable. The newspaper adds that the whole operation is exceptionally interesting, showing a remarkable improvement in the economic condition of Japan and the close cooperation existing between Great Britain and her Allies in finance as we'll as in other Dur- nnenr

How the Germans Make Sure That There Is Unemployment in
 Belgium.
FACTORIES LIE IDLE
Invaders Make Rules to Suit Their Own Needs
 So DepOrtatiOnS
 Can Continue.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-Vicomte Dayiy- mon. son of former Belgian minister of foreign affairs, has informed cor respondents that appalling details of the German deportation raids have been received from Belgium. particu- larly from Antwerp and Waterloo The vlcomte renews his plea that the United States take action.
 Among the Belgian men dcported from Antwerp, the Vicomte says, were six priests, a vicar, many teach CTS and students, and married work men dwelling in Antwerp and the suburbs of Borgehout and Berchem. At the central station at Antwerp another number of deporters have been distributed in groups of 70 to SO. who were given tickets without indication of their destination.
 Deported From Antwerp
 Already 5,OOO people have been de- ported from Antwerp. At Waterloo an men be,ween the ages of 17 and 50 were called out and the street barred by soldiers. An actual razzia of able-bcdied men followed. The re- usal of the municipalities to furnish lists of the unemployed is given by the German authorities as the direct cause of the carrying off of the em- ployed men.
 A Brussels paper controlled by the Germans says that all this Is due to the fact that owing to their scru- ples, Belgian workmen generally re- fuse to work on repairs of railway material, under the preteXt that ifI it was repaired the material even mally would be employed for mili- tary purposes.
 Cause of Unemployment
 The Belgian authorities explain the unemployment of Belgian workmen by saying that 6OOOOO are condemn ed to idleness, due to the measures taken by the German authorities themselves. Industry has been crip- pied since the first year Work has been made impossible by decree for bidding the Belgians to work out l side their homes, as in Belgium most of the industrial districts get their workmen entirely or partly . from villages and hamlets five or ten miles way
 Il has become impossible to run the remaining factories. This coun- try of light railroads has been de- prived of its cars and rails, which were sent to the Russian front. Tires of bicycles have been seized | and worltr'en are unable to reach the

School Teachers Ask
For Better Sidewalks
and Street Crossings

Better sidewalks and cleaner and
more serviceable crossings in the
streets in some portions of Sibletown
have been petitioned for by the people
of that section and the matter will be
referred to City Commissioner w. II.
Lynch, superintendent of streets and
public improvements.
The Associated Aid Societies first
took up the matter when the discovery
was made that an unusual number of
shoes for small folks were being re-
quested. Investigation developed the
fact that the youngsters-and grown
ups, too-were compelled to travel
over wet and muddy crossings and over
pavements that were in poor shape.
Downey school children probably
suffer more than any other group OF
residents. The teachers there have
taken up the matter and they have
joined with the parents of many of the
youngsters in appealing to the bureau
of health for relief. 1t is expected
that Council will consider the matter
next Tuesday.
