Won Lost
McADOO QUESTIONED REGARDING
DETAIL OF ALLIED LOANS

Washington, August 28-Threats OF
some republican members of the
house to oppose further appropria-
tons for allied loans unless they were
enlightened regarding details of the
transfer Of monies already author
lied, caused their leaders on the Ways
and Means committee to question Sec
cretary McAdoo on this point today
for more than three hours behind
closed committee room doors.
The leaders then emerged smiling
and expressed satisfaction with the
Secretary's frankness, though still
contending that greater assurance of
money being spent in the United
States should be required.
Efforts were being made today by
some of the committeeman to induce
Democratic Leader Kitchin to call 9TH
ers before the committee to testify re-
garding the transfer of the monies.
1t is considered probable, however,
that this would not be done, as it
might prevent passage of the new
bond issue bill this week.

SINKING SHIP

Buenos Aires, August 2S-The Ger.
man minister tonight handed the Ar.
gentine government the following
note:
"The German imperial government

dictates of international law and will
endeavor to observe them.
1.-THE naval forces of the German
empire have received orders and in
structions in agreement with this
viewpoint and the imperial German
government is convinced that after
these declarations no incident will &C.
