 WASHINGTON, May 25.-Treasury officials today closed the international ledger for May with another debit to the British government of STE, 100000 bringing the total thus far lent Great Britain up to s40O. 900, 900. A payment of s75, 100000 also was made to Italy on her credit of s100,000,000 previously announced
 Exactly thirty days have elapsed since this government made it's first loan to the allies. During this period the amount placed at the disposal Of five allied nations has reached a total of s745.OOO 900 and has been at the rate of nearly s25.OO0,00O day.
 A marked falling off in loans, it was said probably will be noted in June as pressing demands already have been satisfied and a definite program of in stalment payments probably will be placed into effect within the next thirty days.
 Japan Withdrawing Gold
 WASHINGTON. May 25.-Treasury officials engrossed in the far-reaching problem of international financing upon which this country lately has en- tered, today turned their chief atten- ton 70 the unexpected and somewhat disconcerting discovery that for the last month Japan has been with drawing gold from the United States at the rate of S150.o00.000 to S2oo,- 900 900 year.
 Gold exports 70 Japan within the last three or four weeks it wa; stated. have been between $10,OOo,00 and S15. 5.OO0.o0. Since January i they have totalled s35,0o0.000. In the fast eight months they have reached an aggregate of about s50,0e0,000. With in the next thirty days, the govern ment has been informed. they will approximate 5e per cent of the entire sum already exported in 1917.
 There is every indication that the big shipments will continue for several months at least and in an increasingly large ratio Infor overtures already have been made to the. government | looking to the shipment from San 1 Francisco to Japan next month Of a large consignment of gold.
 Shipments are being made by bank 1 ing interests with the full knowledge of the Japanese government. In at least one instance the Japanese government i through an attache of the embassy j here, has approached officials of this | government with a view to. facilitating 1 the trans Pacific movement.
