SALE OF TREASURY
+ BILLS WITHDRAWN
BY ANGLO-FRENCH
Morgan & Co. Make An
nOuncement of Change of
Plan Following Reserve
Board Warning

New York, December 1.-The abandon
ment by J. P. Morgan & Co. of the pro-
posed sale of a limited amount of short
term British and French treasury bills
at the request of the entente allied gov
err ments was announced here today and
came as a surprise to the financial COM
munity. The action of the British and
French governments was taken out of
regard for the attitude adopted against
the sale by the federal reserve board
The surprise was heightened by the fact
all arrangements for the Offering had
been perfected
Other plans to finance the pressing
needs of the British and French govern
ment are already under way, it was I'M
derstood. but they have not yet reached
definite stage. A member of the Nor
gan firm informally stated that no other
plans had been formulated but it was
learned from reliable sources that the de-
NAL had been made as a matter of policy
The plans under contemplation, it was
intimated. will involve large amount
of dollar credits available to Great
Britain, if not to her chief ally.
British institutions and private inves-
tors still retain large amounts of Amer
lean securities, although they have been
largely modified by the British treas
ury. There have been no cancellations
OF orders for war supplies or any other
materials by the entente allies, accord
ing to the bankers acting for those in
terests, and no appreciable dimuntion of
orders is expected.
The British government continues to
hold large reserves of gold in Canada
and the more remote colonies and these
reserves, it is believed, will be employed
to meet immediate exigencies, including
sterilization of exchange

sy HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, December 1.--(Special)
Representative Heflin's fame as a cam
paign orator assumed a still brighter
glow this morning when Secretary OF
War Baker extended to him the invita-
ton of democrats of Cleveland to deliver
there Wednesday night the principal ad-
dress on the occasion of the state wide
celebration of the reelection of President
Wilson.
Ohio democrats. the secretary ex-
planned, are SO jubilant in that their
state gave an overwhelming majority in
favor OF the President that they are
deterIG.ued fittingly to celebrate. The
secretary added that they had considered
all the orators of national reputation and
had finally settled unanimously on Mr..
Heflin. In all probability he will accept.
! Mr.. Heflin informed the representative
of The Age-Herald that the announce
ment of his candidacy for the Senate in
an afternoon newspaper of Birmingham
was unwarranted.
Regarding the possibility of him enter
ing the race against Senator Banxhead.

England Expected to Grant
Request Of U. S. for Safe

Ambassador

London, December IA strong impress
sion prevails here that Great Britain will
grant the request from Washington for
a reconsideration of the refusal of a safe
conduct for Count Adam Tarnowski Won
Tarnow, who was recently appointed Aus
tro- Hungarian ambassador to the United
States.
Although stating that he had not yet
seen the Washington request, Lord Rob
ert Cecil minister of war trade, in dis
cussing the question with the Associated
Press correspondent, said
1T must be kept in mind that the ques-
ton presents two entirely distinct phases.
The first is that of belligercnts to whom
we could not extend favor under any
circumstances. We can discuss and ar
range for the exchange of military and
civilian prisoners and other similar mat
tiers with the central powers. but, on ac-
count of their actions in the war, we cam
rot be expected to grant them a single
favor.
The other phase concerns a friendly
neutral, like the United States to whom
we are ready to grant any favor which
does not violate our imperative necessi-
ties.
ITO grant safe conduct to Count Tar
nowski for which there are precedents,

English Paper Says Food
Embargo Pacifists' Dream


London, December Under the title,
"a Paciist Dream of a Food Embargo"
the Spectator argues that an American
embargo would have serious conse-
quences. 1t would be opposed by the
American farmers and live stock traders,
says the newspaper, because it would de-
press prices and also the business peo-
pie would be reasonably frightened by
the thought of retaliatory embargoes.
Suppose, and it is no mere empty
supposition," says the Specta tor, that
the Parliament at Ottawa declared if
America put an embargo on exports of
food to the allied countries. they would
put one on her logs and pulp. Where
would the newspapers of the United
States get sufficient paper to meet their
demands?''
