EMBASSY IN RUSSIA

Pctrograd, via London. An effort
by small group of ultra'radicals to
make an unfriendly demonstration be-
fore the American embassy was frus'
trated by militiamen as the radicals
marched down the Nevsky Prospect
on their way 10 the embassy.
The demonstration was headed by
Nikolal Lenine, the radical socialist
leader, who recently arrived here
through Germany from Switzerland
with q safe conduct from the German
authorities. The demonstration Is
said to have been due TO the alleged
killing In America of an anarchist
named Mooney, who was under SEN

to protect the embassy.
The Mooney referred to in the fore
going is Thomas J, Mooney, who is

BRITAIN TO GET FIRST LOAN
Initial Bond issue to Depend on lmme-

Washington.-Th first American
loan to the allied nations will so to
Great Britain.
In reaching the decision to make
the first loan to Great Britain, Off
cials have been influenced by the fact
that Great Britain as banker for the
allies prior to Americas entrance into
the war. has met the heaviest finan-
cial strain imposed upon any of the
entente governments.
In making the loan, the United
States will accept British bonds bear
ing 3ls per cent interest as security.
The interest payments upon them
at a rate considerably lower than that
which Great Britain has had to pay
for recent borrowings-will balance
the payments to holders of the Amer.
ican bonds.

PRESENT BATTLE IS
FIERCEST OF WAR

London.-Reuter's correspondent tel
egraphing from the British headQuar'
ters in France says;
The fighting now proceeding is the
fiercest seen in this war. The Ger
mans have thrown in large reserves
and have brought up great number
of fresh guns"
The correspondent contrasts the
reckless prodigality with which the
Germans are now throwing reserves
of men and guns into the firing line
with their previous prudence and says
that they clearly realize the full extent
of the Anglo-French menace to their
whole system of communications and
are desperately trying to counter the
danger,
They are throwing in their stra.
tegic reserves wholesale and are rush
ing up guns and ammunition which
must be weakening some other point
in their long-drawn armor. Since the
Germans began their retreat in the
middle Of February they have shown
every desire to conserve man-power.
but the past few days they have shown
complete recklessness in repeating
counter attacks in mass formation
without regard to the cost, which must
be appalling"
