ALLIES NEED MORE MONEY
Congress May Be Asked to Authorize
Another Lean.

Washington, July Is. = Unless the
unforeseen develops congress probably
will he asked before adjournment OF

other gigantic loan to the allies. The
present authorization of $4,000, ,000, ,000
will be exhausted within from three TO
-four months at the rate which the
government is lending money to en-
tente nations.
Indications are that the amount oil
the second authorization will be nc
less than the first and may go as high
as S., ,0O0, 900 900.
There is every reason to believe that
the administration policy of financing

tinued and that the vast sums will be
lent them at the same rate of interest

At General Goethals Office it was

This was denied at the shipping
board, although the statement was
made that General Goethals had been
