London, July ga Rotterdam
dispatch to the Daily News says:
Germany is preparing for a su-
preme effort on the western front,
and according TO reliable informa-
ton has drafted to the Somme
front in the last three weeks 34O.-
900 men. One hundred thousand
are from depots. but the remainder
are seasoned men who have been
slightly wounded and are now
thoroughly cured.
The cavalry is being sent west
also, my informant declares. He
personally saw regiments of
dragons, hussars, uhlans and
mounted jaegers passing through
Dusseldorf on their way west.
1t is certain that even at the risk
of continual small retreats on the
eastern fronts the Germans are de-
termined to throw everything into
the west.

Cutting Out the kits
[From Pittsburgh Times

From Pittsburgh Gazette Times.
Scots wha hae wi Wallace bled
are going to do their future bleeding
in trousers if the Lady of the Shows
has her way. No more kits are being
issued to Scottish regiments in the
Canadian overseas forces, the Domin-
ion government having decided the
kilt is out of place in trench "any
where in France" Exception is made
in the case of the pipers; the govern
ment knows that making bricks with
out straw would be child's play COM
pared to making Scotch piper pipe
in anything but a kilt. A pibroch
without kilt is like the Yankees ap-
pie pie without cheese. The report
says nothing about the flowing ribbons
usually Iseen streaming from the
masts of a bagpipe, so the supposi-
tion is that they will continue to flow
in spite of a campaign for economy;
but it does state that to appease the
wrath of loyal Scots who are being
forced into trousies the balmoral will
be permitted in place of the military
cap. Doubtless the knitted bicycle
stockings always associated with the
region directly south of the kilt will
be discarded for leather leggings so
that nothing save the balmoral will
be left of the true Rob Roy.
War is the great leveler; it reduces
all to standard. The Russian infan-
tryman now has only the blouse left
of his one time fearful regalia and he
will lose that as soon as his superior
find the jacket is better.

Our Foreign Loans
GFrom Philadelphia Ledger.

lfTom Pnlladelphla Ledger
France comes to America for an
other 500, 100000. This new loan will
make the total borrowings by the bel
ligerent nations in this country since
the war began more than a billion. 1t
is greater sum than any other neu-
trail people ever loaned to warning
people. Only the French loans to
Russia in times of peace and over a
long term of years can surpass in mag
nitude these American loans to Eu-
rope and Canada. We are in a pecu-
liar position, because we are a store
house and factory for the allies, as
well as a banker.
In the nearly two years since the
war began United States exports have
exceeded United States imports by
about $4,000, 100000, which is fully
three times the normal amount So it
seems that in making these great loans
to the allies this country is merely
lending them their own money, which
was sent here to purchase supplies.
our farmers and manufacturers and
other producers were paid record high
prices for what they have sold, so
that, financially considered, the United
states is making a first-class bargain
when 1t lends the allies money at a
fair rate with which to go on buying.
1t is an interesting fact, however. that
the American people now own as large
an amount of foreign obligations as
they possess of United States govern
ment bonds.

FRIDAY Evening, JULY IA
BETTER HOUSING CONDITIONS

HOUSING conditions are always
II important as a municipal
study. There has come to the
Telegraph some literature of the Cam
bridge Dwelling House Company
which has been organized to cooper
ate in providing better houses for the
working people of Cambridge. It's
main object is to prevent congestion
of population by erecting structures
that will provide light and air and be
sanitary in every feature.
. AS a result of this need the Massa-
chusetts Homestead Commission has
urged the formation of improvement
housing companies, whose first inter-
est shall be that of the tenants. 1t is
pointed out that such companies else
where in the United States have hous-
ed some $500 families in sanitary,
comfortable, durable dwellings at rent
ais of from eight to fifteen dollars
per month according to accommoda-
tions, ranging from three to eight
rooms. The total value of these prop
critics to-day is over $4,000, 900, and
represents conservative, sound invest
ments.
With this incentive the Cambridge
Association is being incorporated to
build one or mo. groups or improved
types of dwellings to rent from twelve
to twenty-one dollars per month. Div
idends on the capital invested will be
limited to five per cent. in order to
These dividends will be cumulative
and one per cent. will be carried an
nually to a surplus fund.
AS outlined, the dwellings will be
cottage flats, semi-detached two-fam-
ily type-durably built and attract
lively grouped around open courts, thus
assuring harmonious development in
the community. Each apartment will
be entirely separate, with separate
front and rear entrances, porches and
yards. Each will contain living room,
small kitchen, bath room, one to three
bed rooms, and cellar storage, and
will be fitted with all the necessary
conveniences of modern city homes.
The shares of stock on this proposed
corporation will be ten dollars each,
payable in full or in four monthly in
stalments
The Planning Commission of Har-
risburg has already done much for
and in the interest of better housing
conditions through a careful super
vision of development plans for the
Dity. Instead of permitting houses to
be built on every inch of ground
space available the commission is in
Eisting upon more light and air and in
so doing is really providing for a
larger return upon the investment

A New Serum

Scientists in the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity are now experimenting with a
newly discovered serum which they
believe will eventually be able to re-
store a person to life after asphyxia-
ton or drowning. The experiments
performed upon animals have in a
number of instances restored them to
life after they have been to all ap-
pearances dead for several hours. A
few days ago an animal was brought
back to life four hours after its ap-
parent death by the injection OF this
serum. In this case, however, the
animal died shortly afterwards from
blood pressure. 1t is believed that
this tendency can be overcome and the
