First Application

Administration officials have been in
receptive mood toward an appliCa-
ton for Belgian loan ever since the
war finance measure became law,
but formal application for loan was
not made until today. when the Bel
gian minister, Baron de Cartier. called
upon Secretary McAdoo and placed
before him tentative estimates as to
the relief desired.
The tentative estimate was not d.
vulged but it is understood that it con-
tains provision for meeting in part, the
Belgian governments needs in MAIN
tanning large number of refugees do
miciled in France. in addition to re-
quirements of a military nature.
Changing Estimates
Further conferences will be held before
the estimate of Belgiums needs is piaeei
in the final form for consideration. There
is said to be a wide divergence between
the first estimate ties of the various Entente
governments and their final estimates
made after a process OF elimination dur
ing conferences with treasury department.
officials.
Discussion of French and Italian needs
continued today in conferences among
Secretary McAdoo, Assistant Secretary
Crosby, the Italian ambassador and mem
bers Of the French commission. Vice Pre-
mer Vivani spent more than an hour in
consultation with Secretary McAdoo. 9th
er members of the French commission dis
cussed the proposed loans informally with
the federal reserve board at luncheon.
Indications are that the French and
Italian loans will be made within tho
present week. the time limit announced
by Secretary McAdoo last week. The Bel
gian loan probably will not be made until
a somewhat later date
Funds for the French and italian
loans will be raised by further Of
fer of treasury certificates expected
within the next few days. In this con-
uection Secretary McAdoO has under
consideration a suggestion made by the
federal reserve board. looking to the
gradual fotation of the forthcoming
bond issue.
The suggestion provides for hi
weekly offering of treasury certificates
in blocks of sl50,0Oo,OoO to $3.50. 100000
according to the apparent ability of the
banks readily to absorb them. The
certificates may be exchanged for the
bonds when the latter are issued. The
suggestion also cOntemplateS the Of

New York, April 30.--The jury in the
trial Of Franz Rinteen, the German naval
captain on trial here in the federal court

spring to prevent munitions being made
and shipped from this country to the En-
tente Allies by fomenting strikes, was
completed tonight after two days exam

from another department Of the federal
court was necessary to complete the jury
Counsel for Rintelen made a point of
assuring himself that each prospective
juryman was certain that he could give
Rintelen fair trial, even though Rinte-
len is an alien enemy, and the intimation
was drawn that a confession might be ex-
pected.
David Lamar, who has been called the
"wolf Of Wall Street" through his coun-
sci questioned each talesman as to wheth-
er he had any business connections or
sympathfes with large capitalists or cap
italistic interests. particularly those en-
gagged directly or through subsidiary com
panies in the manufacture or shipment OF
munitions.
