New York. Aug. 16-- Negotiations TO
establish the second great British
credit in this country We're concluded
yesterday at a conference of bankers
in the office of ], +. Morgan & Co., and
the official announcement merely awaits
arrangement of a few minor details.
The agreement provides for the rur-
chase by a banking syndicate of $3.50
100000 two-year i've per cent. British
notes, which is to he direct obligation
of the British government. The ex-
chequer will deposit securities with
the syndicate managers to an amount
Of s3o0,000.0o0 approximately. This
collateral will consist of about $780,
000,000 in American securities, $780,
100000 Of the bonds and other 0bliga-
lions of Argentina, Switzerland and
other neutral countries.

which probably will be offered at %
to the public. The syndicate will con-
sst of practically all the largo finan-
cial institutions and banking firms in
the leading cities Of tho country.
The statement is made on high
authority that tho present outstand-
ing short-tcrm obligations Of Great
Britain in this country, consisting
largely of bank loans, are a compare
lively small part of the debit balance,
present and future. for which the
credit will provide.
Since January Great Britain has
placed an immense amount in CON
tracts for munitions, steel and copper,
and large similar contracts are pend
ing. Some of those under negotiation
call for the delivery during 1917 of
250oo0.oO0 pounds of copper. with the
probability that an additional $50, OO0,-
600 pounds will he contracted for with
in the next month.

The civil administration of the
French communities has not been dis
turbed, but cases where French police
men and German soldiers worked to-

wise rare.
OF interest as an incident behind the
lines was the recent burial of Il Ger

met death. The German officers who
