Briton Warns Against
Collapse of Sterling
Exchange Here

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 26.-Warn-
ing against the collapse Of sterling
exchange in New York was given to-
day by r.. Fl. Brand, member of the
ministry of munitions of England and
CT the imperial munitions board Of
Canada, in a plea for a continuation
of loans to England, before the ma
ticnal bank section of the American
bankers convention.
Every effort is being made to
stabilize sterling exchange, he said.
England has drained herself of gold
and of liquid American securities. II
she can't borrow, financial chaos will
result.
'7The future peace Of the world will
depend upon the perfection of an un-
~derstanding between the United
States and the British empire, :" Mr..
Brand declared. He placed the bur-
den of financing the war from this
time on for all the allies upon the
United States. MI. Brand declared
his belief in the adequacy of the al
lied credit to win the war, but said
it must be extended to all. There is
question about the integrity of
the external debts of all the allied ma
tions, he said; they will be paid.
Americas strictly fundamental prob

dicted the abandonment Of the pri-

port business with this country.
In 1914, the year of the outbreak Of
the War, imports from France to this
country totaled $141, 446, 252. This to-
tai was reduced to ST. 5S, TAO in 1915,
but last year the value of French i'm
ports to the United States rose to $780,
O77,060.
"A nation that can achieve such a
commercial recovery while her terri
tory is being ravished by the invader"
says the Trust company's statement,
possesses recuperative powers which
justify the belief that she will emerge
from the present conflict prepared to
meet and solve triumphantly the prob
lens which confront her"

WELSH TlNPLATE TRADE.

Swansea, Wales.-The Welsh tin
plate trade, which the late Joseph
Chamberlain once described as a ode
caying industry" and which received
a severe shock by the Mckinley tar
if in 1891, is enjoying a prosperity
which only the necessary war restric-
lions are curtailing. Prices have
more than trebled during the war,
despite the shortage of labor and re-
striction of supplies of steel bars, and
practically every firm is paying or
will pay lei profits.
Before the war the basic price Of
tinplate was IL shillings 6 pence per
box; now as much as SO shillings is
being obtained for unrestricted"
plates, but these rates will cease with
the introduction of the government
price of 30 shillings.

MoNARcHIsT PLOT
TURNS OUT TO BE HOAX

Petrograd, Sept. 26.-A judicial in
vestigation has shown that the famous
monarchist plot of early September,
in which Madame Hitrovo figured
and in which several grand dukes
were arrested, was a hoax.
1t appears that two volunteer sol
diers and two civilians, exploiting the
monarchial tendencies of a part of
the population for their own personal
benefit, issued a proclamation bearing
an imposing seal, in which the resto-
ration of the monarchy was demand
ed. One such document was found in
the home of Madame Hitrovo. With
the proclamation the swindlers dis
tributed a list of fake subscribers,
p%urporting to show three million ru-
bles collected, largely from among the
grand dukes. AS a matter of fact. it
develops the swindlers collected 1.50O
rubles, with which they proceeded to
have an orgy in Vitbisk, on the Dvina.
