ALLIES PROTEST
LOAN TO CHINA
Assert Arrangement with
Chicago Bank Violates
Agreement

Washington, Dec. 3.The British,
French and japanese ministers at Pc
king. it became known here to-day, are
supporting the bankers OF their coun-
tries in protests TO China against the
s5.O0O.0OO loan arranged by that gov
eminent with a Chicago bank. Mem
beers OF the former quintuple group
which secured n practical monopoly Of
Chinese loans for administrative pur-
poses through the loan agreement OF
April. 1913, complained recently In Pc
king against the new American loan on
the ground that it violated that agree
ment
II had commonly been supposed that
the bankers were acting on their own
initiative, and the information to-day
that they are being supported by their
governments caused surprise both at
the State Department and at the Chi
nese Legation. neither Of which had
official confirmation.
Complaints Not Unusual
1t is explained, however, that prae-
tically all loans or financial arrange
ments with China are liable to some
sort of complaint by other interested
parties and that, IN the present in
stance. every care WAS taken not to
violate previous agreements. Section
II Of the agreement, which Is alleged
to have been violated, refers. it 10
pointed out. to loans based on the salt
tax, while the present loan was Sc
cured by the tobacco and wine taxes
and TO loans for administrative pur-
poses, while the present loan is for
industrial purposes.
Therefore, it is not felt here that
there is any good basis for a protest,
especially as with the coming OF the
European war the quintuple group
virtually was destroyed through the
withdrawal OF German bankers and the
inability of the others to meet many
Chinese requests for loans.
Another Loan to Follow
The present loan is said to have
been oversubscribed three times, and
il is thought that second will follow
shortly. The Peking Parliament, In
approving this transaction, authorized
American loans to a total of S3O,OOO,-
600. which has been the amount under
stood TO be desired by China.
The Chicago bankers, who, with the
$4,000, 900 loan, made a most unex-
pected entrance into the international
field, are most prominently mentioned
in connection with future arrange
ments. as New York banks are said to
be too deeply absorbed with European
and South American business to heed
the offers for Chinese loan.

From the English Trade and Nav
igation Returns it is possible to see
where Great Britain gets her wheat
and what it costs. In nine months
to the end of last September she
imported 124k million bushels at a
cost Of S2.15 per bushel, against
1857 million bushels in the CORE
spending three-quarters Of 1915 at
a cost Of S2.06 per bushel. 1t was
in October that the Royal Commits
sion was appointed to do all the
buying. The results of its work are
yet to appear. 1t is reasonably
certain that the cost Of imports
since the end of September has been
higher. Of the 12415 million bush
els imported during nine months to
the end of September, So million
bushels had been bought in the
United States, 29 million bushels in
Canada and 5i4 million bushels in
the Argentine Republic. The North
American wheat appears all at the
same cost, S2.15 per bushel, but the
cost Of the Argentine wheat deliv-
cred in England was 1925 per bush
el. That would be accounted for
perhaps entirely by the greater cost
Of carriage for the longer distance.

Monday December I, 1916.
If everything that one buys we're
cheap and everything that one sells
were dear. the world would be a tol-
cradle place. 1t may so come to
pass. In the mean time. it is well
20 remember that we are all buyers
and sellers together, combined in
one silly riddle. We talk Of an en-
barge on exports TO stop prices from
rising. Just as we talk Of competi-
ton, always from the selfish point
of view. Nobody is for competition
in what he sells; he wishes it TO ap-
ply only TO what he buys. Nobody
speaks Of an embargo on what he
has to sell, except 70 denounce IT,,
whereas everybody would favor an
embargo on what he buys. Ameri-
can labor is profting by the fact
that in Europe there is an embargo
on the export Of labor. This IS
highly satisfactory to all who have
that commodity to sell in this coun-
try, and very unsatisfactory to
those who are obliged TO buy it. The
farmer is indignant at the thought
of an embargo on food products,
which, owing TO the European de-
mand, are selling for the first time
in this generation at what he con-
siders a fair" price, but he could
perceive the reason for an embargo
on industrial products, because the
European demand for steel and iron
manufactures has affected the price
of wire fencing, implements and
motor parts. Yet the cost of living
is so high that the Department of
Justice has undertaken again a
countrywide investigation, with
special curiosity beforehand as to
the middleman, who is VIGOROUSLY
prone to refrain from haste in sell
ing that which he thinks will rise in
price. This is a sin for the middle
man. Not so for the farmer. For him
money with which to hold his crops
for a fair" price is provided at a
special rate of interest by the Fed
eral Reserve banks. The farmer
says the consumer who bowls most
is one who lives out of htchenette
and sends his wife to buy potatoes
by the quart. There is much truth
in that. However, two years ago,
when the Southern planters were in
a panic, they begged the people in
the North to buy cotton and store it
in their little bedrooms until the
world came right side up again.

There is much speculation in food
products. There is waste in dis
tribution which might be saved.
There is not the socialness among
US which should oblige the agricult-
uralist to sell his produce willingly
and the middleman 10 pass it along
at a small profit. Nevertheless, hui
man nature being as It is and con
ditions existing as they are, nothing
else could be expected. The primary
causes are beyond control. They
are three, namely, O) relative de-
crease in the production Of food, es-
pecially cereals, (2) an enormous IN
crease in the volume of money with
which 10 buy food and (9) a very
considerable increase In the con-
sumption of food. The cause last
named deserves more consideration
than it has yet received. II has been
found that the consumption of food
in Europe is necessarily higher than
in time of peace. Soldiers require
more food than men engaged in nor
NAL work. The civil population OF
all the countries at war also re-
ouires more food, because it is per
forming more labor. The same fac
tor appears in this country; when
labor is fully employed and works
continuously at top speed it needs
more fuel 10 go on.

 A new one was sprung on the board at the meeting, when petition was read asking for the laying of a concrete walk on Pennington avenue from Beaver street to Allen street Close examination of the petition showed that the signers were not res idents of the street and permission to withdraw was granted them.
 Permission for the extension of the water mains on Osgood avenue 200 feet northerly from it's present terminus and on City avenue was granted the petitioners, with the signing of the usual papers.
 The city engineer was instructed to investigate the petition of George Levitt for the removal of a tree on Main street in front of his new pro- pery.

In his report to the board Engineer Hall stated that the pipe as it stands today will answer its purposes for at least ten years, or until the population in that section increases to 5000. The report was accepted and the engineer was au- thorized to secure an estimate of the cost of the paving work.

 Where Relief is Needed.
 The bad conditions on Winthrop street between Linwood and Vance street were laid bare by Dr. T. F.. Reeks of the health department, who petitioned the board for action con- demning the land until proper san 1tary conditions are installed. The petition was referred to the engineer to secure an estimated cost of grad ing the street prior to laying a sewer, also to take the matter up with the corporation counsel in regard to the condemnation proceedings. SeV- eral years ago an attempt was made to obtain a sewer in this particular section but it met with defeat when some of the property owners refused to sign the necessary waivers.

Dr. Reeks of the health board has called the attention of the board to the conditions that exist at the foot of Henry street where water gathers ir the low land and remains for many months and which he considers harm ful. City Engineer Hall stated that it will require the building of an en- tire new sewer system at a cost of about $2O,000, and in the minds Of the commissioners, the filling in of the land would be the most advisable plan.

Xmas and Shavinq.

The classic case of king who knew
better than to let anybody else shave
him is that of Dionysius the Elder,
tyrant of Syracuse, who appears to
have been unable to shave himself;
for he is said to have resorted to
the uncomfortable device of singeing
off his beard with hot walnut shells,
says the London Chronicle. We may
suspect that Napoleon's was another
case of the kind. Rogers asked Tai
leyrand whether Napoleon shaved him
self. Yes" replied Talleyrand; one
born to be a king has someone to
shave him; but they who acquire
kingdoms shave themselves" That
way of putting it pleasantly empha-
sizes the practical superiority of the
parvenu to the helpless spoiled child
of heredity; but prudence probably
entered into the matter also, if Tai
leyrands statement was correct.

DeIinhts cf Camel Plding.


1t was Iny first experience OF camel
riding, and therefore interesting, il
not altogether charming. The saddles
used in this country are formed OF
large pads. one in front and one be.
hind the hump. The driver climbs
into place in front, with a huge peaked
pad to keep him from falling off when
the camel rises. Then the passenger
mounts behind the hump, and the
camel is with difficulty persuaded to
rise. This he does headquarters first,
and the passenger finds himself thrust
up in midair as if on tower. The
huge pad offers no possible support,
and he can scarcely overcome his de-
sire to prevent a fall by putting his
feet on the drivers shoulders. That
worthy, however. soon comes up to
join him, and the expedition starts.
