APPRECIATION OF WAR
 ORDERS FROM ENTENTE ALLIES
Necessity Pointed Out by Henry p.
 Davison Of J. p. Morgan & Co.

New York, Oct. 30.-The necessity
 of the United States showing proper
 appreciation Of the business. received
 in the way Of war orders from the
 entente allies is pointed out in a state
 ment issued here today by Henry P.
 Davison of J. P Morgan & Co.,, de-
 talllnS his impressions of the financial
 and military situationthat he found on his recent trip to Great Britain and France. He returned yesterday on the American line steamship Philadelphia after having assisted in arranging the new $500 0O0 600 British loan.
 Tt is perfectly clear that if we re- gard Great Britain and France as de- sfrable customers and wish to continue 1 to sell them cur products" the state ment says in part, we must treat | them as a producer usually treats a desirable customer, in which event am confident we will continue to sup ply them largely, not only during the war, but for the reconstruction period which will follow
 Great Britain and France have not only carried on the war on the west ern front, but have at the same time l developed their own manufacturing re- sources in q. way which surpasses be- lief, so that today they find them selves well equipped and in a position
 to provide not only for themselves but l in a large degree to assist their allies. Tn stating this I do not mean to ] imply that there are not many things they will require from us, as they l did before the war and will after. 1 do mean that there are very many supplies which they would rather pur- :! chase from us than produce at home, ! reSerVlng the resources required for 1 such production for Othe purposes to l their better advantage. The point is 1 dependence compared with that of two i years ago."

I,ippnan of New Tor. editor of the New Republic, replying to message from MT in0~-0-~-7 Te@"- ing Senator Lodges statement. Thepresident's
 Tn reply to your telegram let me say that the statement made by Senator Lodge is untrue. No postscript or amendment of the Lusinaian note was ever written or contemplated by me except such changes that myself in serted which strengthened and empha- sized the protest. It was suggested after the note was ready for trans mission that an intimation be con- yeved to the German government that a proposal for arbitration would be ac- ceptable and one member of the cab met spoke to me about it but it was never discussed in cabinet meeting and no threat of any resignation was ever made, for the very good reason that I rejected the suggestion after giving it such consideration as I thought every proposal deserved which touched on so grave a matter.
 "It was inconsistent with the pur- pose of the note. The public is in possession of everything that was said to the German government"
