GREAT LAST-DAY EFFORT
FOR new BRITISH LOAN

LONDON, February 16.--A tremen-
dous effort was made throughout Great
Britain today. the last day for sub
scriptions to the British war loan, to
bring in every available shilling. The
last-minute rush. so characteristic of
British investors, was expected to re-
suit in a very large total for the day,
as the capstone for the huge ingather-
ings of the last month.
Although no figures have been made
public, and none will be available for
some weeks, there seems to be no
question in financial circles that the
loan will be a success almost beyond
the most sanguine expectations How
large a total is necessary to make the
loan a success is a question to which
no definite answer is available. The
national accounts indicate 5O6,0o0,0OO
pounds sterling new money is needed
to insure a clean slate for the govern
ment on entering the next fiscal year
April l. The government expects to
obtain not only this amount, but
enough more to carry it a considerable
distance through the new financial
year.

OBJECTS TO COURT ORDER.
White Girl Wants to Stay With Col
ored Woman Who Reared Her.

DETROIT, February 16.-Marjorie
Delbridge, a fourteen-year-old white
girl from Chicago, disappeared January
26 and was found here Tuesday. She
will be taken back to Chicago this
afternoon. Circuit Judge Alfred H.
Murphy dismissed a petition for a writ
of habeas corpus to prevent the child
from being returned to the custody of
the Chicago juvenile court.
The writ of habeas corpus was sought
by Mrs. Camilla Jackson, an aged COL
ored woman of Chicago, who was the
child's foster mother until recently,
when the girl was taken from her by
juvenile court order.
When the girl was three months old
her mother. an actress, turned her over
to Mrs. Jackson. The child was reared
by the colored woman. Shortly after
the Chicago juvenile court took the
girl away from Mrs. Jackson the former
disappeared. She was located in De-
troit Tuesday at the home of a negro
family and Wednesday night was re-
moved from that place and taken to
the detention home. The girl declared
that she wants to be returned to Mrs.
Jackson.

COAL SHORT HERE;
FAMINE POSSIBLE
Dealers Fear Serious Situation
During Inaugural Period if
Trains Are Delayed.

Possibilities of serious coal famine
in the National Capital during the in
auguration period. which will become all
the more serious in the event the
weather man turns on one of the cele-
brated Taftonian flarebacks of eight
years ago was suggested today by some
coal dealers. The coal situation in the
National Capital at the present time,
said one dealer today, is very bad and a
famine might be said to exist.

COURT UPHoLDs sEAMAN's ACT.
First Decision Constituting the Con-
stitutionality of the Law.

MOBILE, Ala, February 16.-The
seaman's law was upheld as valid by
Federal District Judge Erwin in a de-
cision announced late yesterday. which,
so far as known, is the first constituting
the constitutionality of the act. The
court ruled that certain men of the
Russian bark Imberhorne were enti-
tied to full pay and discharge at this
port, as they asked, without deduc-
tions, as is prescribed by the law.
The contention of the Russian consul
that the law was contrary to the old
treaty between the United States and
Russia was denied. T The treaty was
abrogated several years ago.

Situation May Grow Worse.

One dealer today said that the short
age was due to the lack of adequate
hauling equipment on the railroads and
labor conditions at the mines. In a
week or two, according to his view, the
conditions will become more serious.
The railroads will be full of excursion
trains bringing inaugural visitors. and
these will have the effect of delaying
the coal trains, it was said.
The supply of coal for the District
government seems to be sufficient.
There was no complaint over the sit
uation at the office of the purchasing
agent today.
Public schools in the District of Co
lumbia have felt the scarcity of coal all
winter They were unable to obtain
their usual supply last summer and
during the months since a fire was
necessary barely enough coal has been
on hand to keep them open. In many
instances it has been necessary to
transfer coal from one building to another
in order to meet emergency cases.

Federal marine observers at Cape

information of value to German sub
marines seeking to destroy ships bound

So far there has been no general order
to customhouses to stop making pub
