WASHINGTON. Nov. a balance
Of siii,iOOOO0 in loans authorized for
Russia may not be turned over by the
United states If the Lenine-Troisky
factions gain complete control. The
American Government, declared one
Treasury official, Is not in the peace

Russla's notes, held by the United
States Government have been signed
by Ambassador BakhmeteR Tor the
Kcrcnsky government. The dealings
have been with the provisional gov

troll Russia or Russia becomes a peace
factor only the new situation will re-
quire a revision Of the loan policy, II
was pointed out.
There Is intense sympathy with Rus.
sia's internal travail in the highest OF
fcial circles here. The preslden
wishes TO aid the new republic IL
every possible and reasonable manner
but victory over Germany Is the frs
Consideration. No visible precaution
have been taken TO stop American sup
plies going 10 Russia. The hope is still
held by officials that the democratic
forces in Russia will ultimately restor
the country as a fighting ally Of Amer
ica and the entente against Germany.

SEARCH FOR
SOLID BOTTOM
FOR THEATRE

The Cyr Brothers Co. which is building
the new theatre on the Hanes lot, is hav-
ing a difficult time to find solid bottom
for the placing of concrete for the north
wall foundation. For portion of the
distance there is fine bottom of blue
clay. but through the middle of the lot
there is a miry place in which they have
not yet been able TO reach the bottom.
Old residents say that this is in the
path of a brook which one day ran from
the Gilman bog, so-called, on what it now
known as Charles street, down across
Temple street. Main street. Appleton
street and across to Union street, and
down into the river near where the wa
terville Iron Works is now located. Diff
culties have been encountered in con-
structing other buildings in the line of
the bed of this old brook and ii seems
possible that piing may have to be used
for short space here.
