Russian Loan Twice Oversubscribed Says
 Report from Japan

Tokio, Oct. 5.-The fact that loan to Russia of 70 million yen (about $35, 5,000,000) was twice over-subscrib- ed by the public has attracted consid- erable attention in Japan and is re- garded by the press as indicating faith in the victory of the Entente Allies and faith in the power of the rehabilitation of Russia. The loan was at six per cent. and consisted of Russian trea- sury bonds.
 It is likely that additional loans of a similar nature will be made subse- quently as Russia desires to raise to- tai of 250 million yen in Japan (about 125 million dollars). It is under stood that the loan will be utilized in the payment of munitions of wa -,.r- chased in Japan by Russia.

French's Friend Proves in
London Court He Didn't
See Won BernstOrff.
WENT TOLONG ISLAND
TO VISIT ROOSEVELT
Receives Apology for Libel
Had Been Accused of Betray-
ing Military Secrets.

London, March Am unusual sensa-
ton was caused in the Court OF the
Kings Bench to-day by the appearance
OF viscount French, formerly command
er-n-chief of the British army in
France, as a witness in the libel action
brought By George Gordon Moore, Of
Detroit, against Hutton & Co., pub
fishers OF the Manchester Evening
Chronicle
The alleged libel consisted o, an sr-
tlcle accusing Mr. Moore Of betraying
British military secrets which he had
learned through his intimacy with Lord
French. After evidence had been given
on behalf OF Mr. Moore the defendants
withdrew all charges and apologized.
The case was then withdrawn on terms
which were not made public, the de-
PENDANT. paying the costs.
Henry Edward Duke, Member OF
Parliament for Exeter, counsel for Mr..
Moore, In opening the case explained
that Mr.. Moore had been a close friend
Of General French for some years and
that he had visited him at headquarters
In France. lie said his client had been
associated in business undertakings
with the Duke Of Argyle. Lord Rowland
Hill, Lord Francis Knollys. Sir John
Rolleston and other influential men, and
that the libel grew out Of the fact OF
the friendship between General French
and Mr.. Moore, and the fact that they
shared residence in London.
These facts, he said, were made the
basis OF odious imputation5 that Mr..
Moore had obtained military secrets
and betrayed them to Count Won Berns,
torff, German Ambassador 10 the United
States. L. was further charged that
Mr.. Moore had used his own position
and the services of a member of his
family 10 work mischief against the
cause OF the Allies.
Mr.. Duke denounced the charges as
being malicious inventions, the fact
being that General French had con-
suited Mr.. Moore upon military prob
lens requiring scientific knowledge and
industrial experience. This work ne
cessitated several visits TO General
French's headquarters.
Regarding the charges involving
Count Won Bernstorf. counsel said that
the visit Mr.. Moore had paid in Long
Island was to Theodore Roosevelt
Turning 10 the imputation that Mr.
Moore's sister was involved, Mr.. Duke
said: "His only sister is an invalid
lady residing in Canada, who has never
met Count Won Bernstorf."
Lord French confirmed the state
ments of Mr.. Duke in general. Asked
whether Moore became acquainted with

FIVE LAWYERS FACE
TWO PISTOL MULES
Locked in Cincinnati Offices by
Business Man.

Cincinnati, March 9.--Locked in a
suite OF lawyers Offices. ex-Represen-
tative Stanley Bowdle, Philip Renner,
VI. J. Calvin, J. P. Bower. jr., and Mil

cording 10 their own statement, used
their mental slertncss to-day at noon

firearms.
Klotter entered the Offices to con-
suit attorneys relative to a receiver

fronted by attorneys who represented
those opposed to the Hooters. He i'm

Free Hand for Wilson,
Berlin Editors Agree

Berlin. March 9.-The vote in the
House OF Representatives. at Washing
ton tabling tho resolution warning
American citizens against travelling on
armed ships aroused lively interest
here.
The newspapers are fairly well
agreed that il means the giving to
President Wilson a free hand for
further negotiations on the Lusitanla
or other questions, and that Congress,
while not necessarily in accord with
him at this time.
The "Morgen Post" referring 70
Representative Mann's statement that
the tabing of the resolution could be
taken as an invitation 10 Americans
to travel on armed ships, says it does
not believe Congress intended that.
The newspaper expresses the hope that
the situation will work out we'll.
Count Ernest Won Reventlow, naval
expert Of the "Tageszeitung." INDUCES
in sarcasm at the expense of those who
talked of "a reversal Of sentiment" IN
America. This reversal, he says, has
now found expression in Congress by
an action which means that President
Wilson in the future, as in the past,
will have free hand 20 determine the
attitude of America toward Germany.
The writer ridicules those who con-
tinue TO expect "a reversal of sentiment,
saying: THE attitude Of the Senate
and the House shows irrefutably for
everybody who does not believe every
thing he hears that both houses are,
as a matter of fact, in agreement with
President Wilson's policy in German
American affairs"
The "Lokal Anzeiger" thinks Presi-
dent Wilson won a victory in so far as
he retained free hand to negotiate,
but that Congress did not express ap-
prevail Of his standpoint that the an
nouncement in the German memoran-
DUN of Germany's intention TO sink
armed merchantmen without warning
is in violation of international law.

posals Of Kuno Frsncke, in . communi-
cation 70 the editor OF the New York

this morning.
The letter from Professor Frsncke,

Professor Frsnckc says in part:
"Let US issue a declaration addressed
to both the warning factions. II is
hard 70 believe that either of the two
warning groups should remain deaf 10
such warnings. But IL one OF them
should refuse TO listen. then We should
clearly be justified to side with the
other. II both of them should refuse
and thereby make American action i'm
possible, then America would at least
have put herself on record as really
standing for the principle OF humanity
and justice; she would have shown her
self conscious of her supreme duty
the effort TO save Europe. And in the
end she would receive recognition as
having been inspired by friendliness
and good will toward all the warning
nations.
"Can there be any doubt that such
policy would be more truly American
than the partisan policy which now Is
being advocated so vociferously By vlo-

Lord French testified further that Mr..

"The President has written some good
books, but | do not think he has cor
ner on all the wisdom Of the universe,
nor is he more patriotic than the Con-
gress which shares with him the re-
sponsibilities of government"
Senator Vardaman conceded the
right of American citizens to trevel on
belligerent merchantmen, but de-
nounced those who exercise the rlgh.
With the probability Of involving their
country in war. He said Germany
would well nigh do anything demanded
of her TO avoid war with the United
States and that throughout the wal
Germany had been far more respect
full Of American rights than the Allies
He declared, however, that the holders
of bonds of the Allies and those re
ceiving money for munitions would be
glad 10 see war with Germany and
that unless Congress acted there was
b probability that the United States
under the pretext Of protecting Amer
can citizens. would be drawn into wal
with Germany.
The speech drew no response from
friends of the Administration.

is false from beginning TO end. Moth

From both the White House and the

phatic denials of a rumor that the Ad-
ministration intended 20 warn Ameri-

entering American waters 10 determine
whether they were boarding vessels

London Sees Foreign Affairs
Issue in American Politics

London, March "a great feature
of the present American situation
says "The Times" editorially, ais that,
for almost the first time, foreign af-
fairs have become the leading issue in
American politics.
Though students in Europe ofAmer-
lean affairs have long foreseen tina.
this result was inevitable, they antici-
pated, however, that the process might
be slow, and even now foreign affairs
may again subside into the background.
But the fact remains that. for the pres
ent, both Republicans and Democrats
are making foreign affairs the chief
subject of their appeal TO the people
and that both approach them in spirit
Of elevated idealism."

UNION JACK MUST DIP
IN ALIEN ENEMY DYE
British Refuse Banners Hinged
with American Product.

War or no war, the British Union
Jacks must be colorcd with German
dyes. Regardless of orders prohibiting
the use OF materials of enemy origin,
flags in which American dyes are used
are not acceptable moreover, they lead
10 law suits.
Yesterday, in the Federal District
Court, the Syndicate Publishing Com
pany, of 9 East Thirty-seventh Street,
sued John c. Dettra & Co., q Pennsyl-
vania concern, for Losses sustained
when flags manufactured under con-
tract by the defendant company were
refused by the British government be-
cause American dyes had been used.
The publishing company has con-
tract to supply England several hun
dred thousand Union Jacks and gave
the Pennsylvania company sub-con-
tract with the specification that Ger
man dyes be used. The first consign-
ment OF 12,400 flags arrived in Canada,
bound for England, last July, and after
being examined were sent back to
Pennsylvania. A breach of contract
suit was brought against the publish
ere, and the new action is counter
claim for damages.
Dettra & Co. contend that the con-
tractors knew there was a shortage OF
German dyes in this country and tina.
it was understood that if the shortage
continued American colors were TO be
used. The Syndicate Publishing Com
pany denies such an agreement.

Conference of Sweden,
Norway and Denmark to
Discuss Neutrality.
LIKELY TO CONSIDER
SEIZURE OF SHIPS
Officials Received by Members
of Royal Family at
Copenhagen.

Copenhagen. March 9.-The first
meeting Of the conference Of the Pre-
miers and Foreign Ministers Of the
scandinavian countries, held to-day
was devoted almost wholly TO reception
ceremonies and organization. Nothing
definite is expected 10 result before
Saturday, which probably will be the
concluding session. II will then posi-
bly, be made clear whether the minis
ters Of the three northern countries
feel they can go further than q discus
sion Of their continued friendly neu-
trality.
The conference was suggested by the
King OF Sweden. Its purpose is gen
eral discussion of the commercial diff
culties which the war has brought TO
the scandinavian nations, and also 70
obtain concerted action in dealing with
the belligerent powers.
The suggestion persists that the con-
ference may be the forerunner Of
complete understanding, II not an &C
tive alliance, OF all the neutral coun-
tries in dealing with the belligerents'
No one connected with the conference,
however, would say anything other
than that it means simple reafhrma-
tion of the equal and exact neutrality
of the Scandinavian countries.
The difficulties OF these nations have
to do alike with Germany and Great
Britain, and the discussions OF the con-
ference are likely to take a wide range,
dealing with seizures OF ships, mines
and other menaces TO navigation.
The Swedish and Norwegian min
listers we're met to-day at the steamer
by high Danish officials and conducted
to the palace, where they were received
in audience by the members OF the
royal family, including Dowager Queen
Louise, who is Swedish princess
After luncheon the conference began,
but adjourned early, 10 make ready loi
a state dinner at the palace tonight.
The Danish press is reticent in ex-
pressing an opinion concerning the
POSSIBLE deliberations of the confer
ence. although the papers have warm
words of welcome for the representa-
tives Of the sister nations. The con-
ference, they believe, should impress
the world with Scsndinavians desire
TO maintain carefully balanced neu-
tralitv and concert Of action so far as
the Interests of the three countries
permit.
Stockholm, March 9. - The first
chamber has rejected a proposal that
the Riksdag invite the government 70
consider the summonlng, through
Scandinavian or through Swedish
initiative, Of conference of neutral
powers for the purpose OF formulating
plans TO prepare for lasting peace.
IN the debate VI. Trigger. a party
leader, declared that such conference
would be more harmful than useful,
and would be likely TO destroy the de.
sire which Sweden now entertains Of
an early peace.
