new YORK BANKS IN
SECRET GERMAN loan
Teutons Obtain $4,000, 900 for South
American Wool Purchase.

CBy the International News service.)
New York, Jan. 6.-Germany has OBJ
tanned a secret loan OF SoeOo,ooo from
New York banks. It was learned today,
to mobilize a huge supply of South
American wool here for shipment to the
central empires the moment the war
ends.
This loan arrangement, which has
been carefully guarded, explains several
peculiar operations of the British gov
ernment in the Argentine within the last
two weeks. British banks in South Amer
lea were first forbidden to handle gold
shipments from New York. Then Brit
lsh insurance companies were prohibited
from insuring such gold shipments, and
finally British boats were forbidden to
carry the gold.
The object of the British government
was to stop the payment for the Ger
man wool. s4o0Oo,00o worth of which has
been bought on the Sleeps backs in the
Argentine.
Among the banks that have been heavy
gold shippers to South America are the
Equitable Trust Company, the Guaranty
Trust Company, the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company. the National Bank Of
Commerce in New York and several 9TH
ers.

No intimation is given as to the probable

detailed accounts of the various sub

1t is the general opinion here that the
conference Is a prelude to even greater
joint efforts by the allies and a clearer
coordination OF all plans Of campaign
in the spring.
Officials of the Wilson administra ation
were keenly interested yesterday in the
report, published In the Lucerne, Swit1-
erland. Gazette, and cabled here, that
the central powers are preparing a
second note to the entente allies,
enumer ating the precise terms on which
they will make peace.
The report that President Wilson is
preparing a second peace note was
branded as totally false by Counsellor
Polk, of the State Department, acting
under instruction from the President.
A cablegram was received at the State
Department from Ambassador Page, at
London. saying the reply OF the allies
had been completed.

visers to confer with him at once and
obtain his approval Of the proposed ball.
Vice President Marshall is out of town.

the murderer of Grace Roberts.
He declared that he had no idea what

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
GUARDS BORDER DATA
Declines to Report to Congress on
Smuggling of Arms Into Mexico.

The Department of Justice yesterday
held that to report to Congress on the
conditions involving the smuggling of
arms across the international boundary to
the Mexican beiligerents would be '1n-
compatible with the public interest"
A report on conditions had been sought
in resolution introduced by Represen-
tative Kahn. of California, senior minor
lty member Of the House Military Affairs
Committee. The Congressman has but
recently returned from the border States,
where he discovered conditions so un-
satisfactory that he introduced a resolu-
ton Of investigation In the House.
Following this, In January he intro
duced other resolutions calling upon the
War Department the Department of Jus
tce, and the Treasury to furnish infor-
nation to Congress regarding conditions
He wanted to know to what extent the
Presidents proclamation of October 10,
1918, forbidding arms shipments was be-
Ing evaded. The answer from the De-
partment Of Justice is the first reply to
the second series of inquiries.
Representative Kahn is deeply disap-
pointed at the Withholding of the infor-
nation. He is assured on authority of
the highest integrity and through per-
sonal observation that the border Is alive
with smugglers and gun runners.
