Leaving out Of consideration the
fact that the United States is help
less to follow any other course in
respect to shipments to belligerent
countries than the one it has taken,
without disregaroing procedure in a.
manner to invite war for itself, the
expression. cit will take time after

its reverse form among Americans.

The job of Mr.. Sisyphus was difficult

We all can truly sympathize with

Because his task resembled that

We inch this blasted world up hill

Until some fellow fails to- push, the
globe starts back again.
And all our high and cheerful hopes
are miserably busted,
And every one is freely, unreservedly
Disguised.
But probably old Sisyphus was like
the rest of the men.
And when he got his courage back
and started up again,
He gave the lessons of the past lao
grim and mOurnful heed.
But shouted: Hip, hOOray. hoorah!

disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stomach,
foul gases and poisons are generated,
and unless the congestion is quickly
relieved the system becomes weak

Various remedies to relieve consti-

China IS GIVEN

Government Needs Money for

Washington, Nov. 17-Announce-

K. Wellington Koo. the Chinese min
lister, that his government, through
him, had concluded a loan of $780,
600 gold with the Continental and
Commercial bank of Chicago, and
that the proceeds of the loan were
placed to the credit Of the Chinese
government, which was represented in
the negotiations by Levi Mayer of
Chicago.
The arrangement of this loan Is be-
lieved in some quarters here to mark
the ending the arrested development
Of China. For the last year or so the
Chinese government has been in
straits to obtain money for the or
binary expenses of governmental adj
ministration. At one time recently
China sought to arrange loan Of IS,
600 through New York and Boston
banking houses but the negotiations
fell through on account of the I'M

and the Republic of China
with reference to a loan Of $5,OOO.OOO
for a period of three years, and I have
to say in reply to your oral request
for a statement Of the policy of this
departm ent respecting such loans that
the department Of state is always
gratified to see the Republic Of China
receive financial assistance from the
citizens Of the United States, and that
it is the policy of the department, now
as in the past to give all proper dip
lomatic support and protection to the
legitimate enterprises abroad of
American citizens. I am. gentlemen,
your obedient servant,
ROBERT LANSING.
1t was pointed out tonight that
the loan had very significant bearing
on international affairs. In the first
place, it means that the Chinese gov
eminent has negotiated a financial
transa elton with American bankers
at time when the Japanese govern
ment is endeavoring to supervise the
foreign finances of China. About q
year ago, when Japan made certain
demands on China, one of them was
that the Chinese government should
accept a Japanese financial adviser.
Another important phase of the
American loan is that it is not Sc
cured by railway or mining conces-
sions. Such concessions have been
usual whenever China has gone to for
eign bankers for financial assistance.
In the present state of Chinese af-
fairs, with Russia and Japan seek
ing privileges suggesting their in
tention to prevent other Sovernm ents
from participating in the exploitation
OF Chinese territory, the American
loan marks a distinct step in the di-
rection of an effort ON the part Of
American bankers to resume business
operations on a large scale in China
