KUHN, LOEB &CO.
 TO LOAN FIFTY MILLION ABROAD

New York, Sept. 28-Kuhn, Loeb & Co. announced yesterday that arrange ments had been completed by them for a loan of 50,000,000 to the City of Paris. The loan, first of the kind ever made by the municipality of Paris outside the borders of France, will take the form of five-year 6 per cent. bonds, which will probably be offered to the public by the banking firm early next week. A statement issued by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. yester- day said:
 Kuhn, Loeb & Co. announce that they have closed a negotiation with the City of Paris for $50,000,000 five year six per cent. bonds. This loan is made to reimburse the City of Paris for very heavy expenditures made by it for the alleviation of suffering caused by the war and to provide for additional similar expenditures and for other municipal purposes.
 '"The principal and interest of the bonds are payable at the option of the holder either in United States gold coin in New York or in francs in Paris. at the fixed rate of $50 per dollar, thus giving to the holder the prospect for a very substantial profit in ex- change, inasmuch as the normal rate of exchange before the war was about 5.18 francs per dollar.
 "The Government of the France Republic is to undertake to furnish, If necessary, to the City of Paris gold ln the amount need to permit> the payment of the principal and interest of the loan in New York"
 frfo hou many hundreds of millions of dollars in this country since the war began, but this is the first loan for the pur- caused by hostilities. It represents also the first participation of Kuhn. Loeb & Go. in a foreign loan during the war period. When the Allies first broached the matter of huge borrow ings here, a formal statement was is- sued by the-firm. saying that the part ners had decided not to take part in loans to either side if the proceeds were to be used to finance the strug- gle.
 The City of Paris will use the funds provided by the bond issue, it is learn ed, to increase hospital facilities. build orphan asylums, to ease the lot of widows of soldiers and to maintain the unemployed. A part of the money will also be devoted to the welfare of the thousands of refugees who have focked to the city.
 The bonds will be dated either Oct. 8 or 10. The agreement to pay princi- pal and interest in francs at the fixed rate of 5A francs to the dollar makes possible a profit of about 6 1A per cent. in the exchange end of an investment in theb onds which will be additional to the interest. In banking quarters it was said yesterday that the out standing municipal issues of Paris normally sell as high as French gov ernment bonds, -and-the statement

showed that, the issue was virtually guaranteed by the government.

The bond issue calls to mind the part played by Paris for a long period in the absorption of many millions of American municipal securities, espec- ial1y short-term obligations of New York City. While bonds of many of our cities have enjoyed an excellent market in several financial centres of Europe, French investors were par ticularly interested. When the war began $80,O00.00O of New York City issues were owned in Europe, and in order to make provision for their ma turities gold had to be deposited in a special reserve established by the Bank of England at Ottawa.

Various IFS marx The Great

VIII Be Brought To a Close

, ammunition rather than with blood.
This has led George Queri, the Ger
man critic. to write in the Berliner
Tageblatt:
Every Dead German Costs a Fortune
Every German killed costs for
tune to the French. The enemy is de-
voting all of his attention to artillery.
The whole concentrated experience of
two years findsexpression in shells
and more shells. His infantry is used
only to test the bridge made by shells
the German trenches. Infantry fight
ing is no longer man against man.
The trench is only rushed by infantry
when it has been blown to dust. 1t is
confession by the enemy that his
infantry is poor quality"
This fling at the infantry, according
to British officers is merely put in to
cover up the real tribute to the artil-
iery of the Allies. The military au-
thorities here have been somewhat
surprised at the deep impression the
artillery has made in Germany. They
we're quite delighted with report by
German military expert quoted as
saving said:
British infantry never had any
value. The French infantry nowadays
attacks only when the artillery has
done it's work SO perfectly that they
have only to Occupy the shattered
trenches.
Those officers who believe the war
will go on for two years longer say it
has taken two years to put Germany
really on the defensive and they an
ticipate it vii ltake two more years to
make her acknowledge the defeat
which the Allies believe is inevitable
AS to internal conditions, the army
man take it into consideration only as
to its effect upon the moral of the
| fighting men. 1t is undeniable that
great sacrifices are being demanded OF
the civilian population in Germany
and it is contended no army long re-
mains wholly superior to home in
fuencee.
Those who believe in an earlier
ending of the war base their belief
or perhaps their hope-upon the mil
itary assumption that an army cannot
offer the same resistance in third or
fourth or fifth line trenches that it did
in the first line They declare that
when the French and the English were
retreating at the beginning of the war
it was retreat of unpreparedness. The
German retreat, they assert, is a re-
treat of exhaustion. These, they say
are the vital physical and moral facts
OF the laws of war. An army driven
from one strong position cannot fall

PICKING, Nov. Chen Chen-tao,
the minister of finance, has repeatedly
offered his resignation as result Of
Juror created by announcement that
he has made through Japanese bank
ers a loan of $4,000, 900 Mexican on the
security of mines in Anhui and Human
provinces. Residents of those prov
inces, which are within the English
sphere of influence in the Yang-tse
Valley, have sent protests to Parlia-
ment that the pledging of the mines is
part OF plan to betray China to ia
pan.
The minister of finance made an at
tempt at explanation before parlia-
ment, which did not silence criticism
OF his action. He said the mines were
turned over to Japanese financiers in
recognition of their efforts to assist
China in getting adequate reorganiza-
ton loans He further said that the
five million dollar loan was merely an
advance on a greater loan of possibly
eighty million dollars. This did not
reconcile the parliament, however,
and the Japanese financiers, who are
Prominent Kobe, Yokohama and Toxic
bankers, organized under the name of
the Asiatic Development Company, ex-
pressed a willingness to forego the
mining rights if China would grant
them the right to buy up copper cash
in the FIVE northern provinces of
China.
The Japanese legation denied offic-
| ial knowledge of the five million dol
lar loan and the mining concessions
which have created such a Juror.
Shorty after the announcement of
this small loan, the Chinese govern
ment made formal application to the
Russian, French, Japanese and Eng
fish bankers, who represent the salt
monopoly group, for reorganization
loan Of ten million pounds sterling Sc
cured on the surplus of the salt mon
oply. Chinese newspapers charge that
Japanese officials doubtless had full
knowledge of the smaller loan secured
on the mines, but did not wish to give
official sanction to this transaction as
they desired to create no prejudice
against their cooperation with the al
lied bankers.
| Parliament and Chen Chin-tao have
clashed in their Interpretation Of the
section of the provisional constitution
concerning the loan-making power,
and complete disruption of the gov
eminent is threatened, with possible
resignation of the whole cabinet or
the dissolution of parliament.
Chen Chin-tao holds that prelimin-
airy agreements for loans need not be
approved by parliament This view is
stoutly opposed by parliamentarians.
