FRANCE TO FLOAT HUGH
LOAN IN UNITED STATES
SECURITIES OF NEUTRAL MA
TIONs TO BE OFFERED
Arrangements Practically Completed
for $100,o0o,000 Transaction Be-
tween Financiers of France
and United States

NEW YORK, June 20.-Arrange-
ments have been completed for the
$100,0O0,000 French loan in this coun
try. American bankers and represent
atives of the treasury of the French
government having reached an agree
ment, it is expected that there will be
a public offering of the loan within a
few weeks.
An American company capitalized at
$10,OOO,000 will be formed in cOnnec.
ton with the loan. This will be com
posed of interests representing J. P
Morgan & Co., the First National bank,
the Guaranty Trust and other banking
institutions. The company will take
over the securities that have been mar
shaled by the French government. The
securities are those of neutral coun-
tries held in France. 1t is planned to
issue debentures of the American COM
pany against them. Some American
securities held in France may form a
part of the collateral.
1t was said authoritatively that the
interest in the loan would be 5 per
cent, or shade more, and not 511a per
cent as reported The life of the loan
will be three years.
The syndicate of banks and trust
companies which recently, purchased
$50,O00,O0O six and one-half per cent
Russian government notes, announced
that the entire amount had been ap-
piled for. The subscription books will
not close, however, so as to permit
out of town applicants to participate.

NORTH SEA BATTLE
DRAW, SAYS DEWEY

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Admiral
George Dewey, president of the gen
eral and joint board, declared the
North sea battle between the British
and German fleets ended in a draw
Admiral Dewey says:
'It looks about even up to me, SO
far as | am able to judge from the
censored and exaggerated reports con
tanned in the press dispatches. From
the facts at hand, l would say the
titanic struggle ended in a draw, each
side apparently performing valorous
feats.
"The outstanding fact of the engage
ment is that it emphasizes the great
necessity of a world power having
ample naval strength. 1t also empha-
sizes to the United States that ou1
navy should be equipped with more
battleships.
"It should vindicate the recommend
ations of the general board and settle
all disputes about the wisdom of the
boards urgent requests for more pow
erful fighting strength

Members of GeneraV Staff Surprised
That the action was decided on sud-
denly is indicated by the fact. declared
by the officers themselves that mem
bers of the general staff had not been
apprised of the presidents intentions.
The gravest concern is manifested at
the Mexican embassy, where the fear
was expressed that the action taken
means "the beginning of the end
In announcing the call to the Ma
tional Guard, Secretary Baker issued
the following statement:
In view of the disturbed conditions
on the Mexican border, and in order to
assure complete protection for all
Americans, the president has called out
substantially all the state militia and
will send them to the border wherever
and as fully as General Funston de-
termines them to be needed. If all
are not needed an effort will be made
to relieve those on duty from time to
time so as to distribute the duty
"This call for militia is wholly un-
related to General Pershing's expedi-
tlOn and cOntemplates no additional
entry into Mexico, except as may be
necessary to pursue bandits who at
tempt outrages on American soil. The
military are being called out so as to
leave some troops in the several
states. They will be modified at
their home stations, where necessary
recruiting can be done"
Officials of the war department said
the state troops will be kept at their
respective mobilization centers, sub.
ject to the call of General Funston
and will be sent to him as needed. Be
fore any can be sent, however, the for
NAL call makes it plain that all organ
iZations and units mustered into the
federal service will have to be re-
cruited up to their minimum peace
strength, which means a minimum of
sixtyfve enlisted men to each com
pany of infantry and engineers and
each troop of cavalry and 1876 men to
each battery of field artillery.

GRAND PRIX AND VANDERBILT
CUP RACES AT BEACH CITY
SANTA MONICA SECURES SPEED
EVENTS OF SEASON
900 Cash for Winners of Big Speed
Classics to Be Held at Famous
Course on November 16 and
18-Many Noted Drivers

SANTA MONICA, June 2O.-With
ten entries already secured for the
events, the announcement of the dates
for the Vanderbilt cup and Interna-
tional Grand PriX races at Santa
Monica were announced by Paul J. G.
Derkum, manager of the contests. The
Vanderbilt cup race will be held on
Thursday, November 16, and the In
ternational Grand Prix will be run on
Saturday, November Is.
Cash prizes totaling $4,000 will be
paid to the winners of both events
In addition to the cash prizes, the Will
liam K. Vanderbilt Junior cup will be
awarded the winner of the Vanderbilt
event and the perpetual challenge
trophy of the Automobile Club OF
America will be awarded the winner
of the International Grand Prix.
Race headquarters have been estab-
lished both at Santa Monica and Los
Angeles. The Santa Monica headquar.
ters are located at the Majestic the
ater building and the Los Angeles
headquarters are located at 914 South
Main street.
E. E. Randall, formerly chief of po-
lice of Santa Monica, has been ap
pointed manager for the Santa Mon
lea chamber of commerce, promoters
of the event, while Paul J. C. Derkum
will have the actual management OF
the events.
The ten entries to date are only
awaiting the issuance of official blanks
to make them official The first to
enter was none other than Barney Old
field. Despite announcements and ru-
mors to the effect that OIdfield would
retire after the present season, the
veteran assured the management OF
the Vanderbilt cup and Grand Pri1
races that he would be present at the
beach city in the fall In addition to
Oldfield, George R. Bentel, owner OF
the Ascot speedway and prominent Los
Angeles sportsman, only awaits the is
suance of official blanks to enter three
MERGERS. Bentel will probably nom
ainate Pullen, Ruckstell and Thomas as
drivers of these mounts. Eddie Rick.
enbacker assured Derkum that he
would be present with four. Maxwells
and that he would sign official blanks
as soon as they were issued George
Robinson is another who will enter
from Southern California Robinson
is at the present time constructing
three new racing creations at the Milac
factory here which he will have ready
for the fall events.
From these entries already received,
it is probable that an entry list of at
least thirty-five cars will be secured
for the events. 1t is thought that
many drivers who are now in the east
travelling the speedway circuit will ship
to California to indulge in the winter
of racing here as soon as the eastern
events are over.

KEPPEL'S PLEA LOSES;
NO MORE STATE MONEY

SACRAMENTO, June 20.-An effort
by superintendent Mark Keppel of the
Los Angeles county schools to have
intermediary schools classed as high
schools and therefore secure an addi
tional apportionment of state money
was knocked in the head" when Job
Wood of the state department of edu-
cation interpreted the school law as
opposite to Keppel's contention.
Since the enactment of the law Los
Angeles county has established a num-
Der of intermediate schools and had
Keppel's stand been supported Los An
geles county would have secured ap.
proximately $4,000 annually as addi
tional state money for the support of

War % Protect the Border Against Invaders General Funston Pre-
diets rouble-Orders VIII Add 117OOO Men to Border Patrol

Ell PASO, June 20.-First Chief
Carranza has sent an ultimatum tC
President Wilson advising him that il
American troops are not removed from
Mexico within seven days a state OF
war will be considered as existing be-
tween the United States and Mexico
and that the troops of the de facto
government will treat all armed Amer
leans in Mexico as invaders.
WASHINGTON. June 19.-President
Wilson has issued a call to National
Guard organizations in every state in
the Union for service on the Mexican
border. Although the purpose of the
action as set forth in the formal call
is for the protection of the American
frontier from invasion, the opinion pre-
vailing throughout Washington is that
il marks the first step of Intervention
in Mexico. For more than three years
President Wilson has exhausted every
other eXpedient practical in an effort
to avoid such al step.
Washington was the scene of intense
excitement. The action is understood
to have been precipitated by dis
patch from General Funston predict
ing trouble all along the Rio Grande
in an effort on the part of the Mexi-
cans to force the Americans to with
draw from Mexican soil.
Every State in Union Affected
A number of lengthy reports were
received at the department during the
day, but Secretary Baker refused tC
make their contents public. Although
every state in the Union and the Dis
trict of Columbia is affected by the
call, not all of the organizations o1
each state are called out. None of the
coast artillery units of the National
Guard is affected
According to the last reports of the
division of militia affairs of the wal
department, the "paper" strength Of
the entire National Guard, exclusive
of coast artillery, was something over
117000 enlisted men. The total num-
ber of enlisted men called for in this
summons, exclusive of signal corps and
