J. +. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa.
ton. the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
~ bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
Our enemies" he said, "for all their
boosted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob

The Teutonic governments having

Loan Subscriptions Pour In.
To all clearing house associations in
the countr Mr.. McAdoo sent a tele-
gram in which he said:
The amount of the initial loan has
been determined by the needs of the
government and not arbitrarily. The
enthusiastic and patriotic cooperation
of the banks and bankers of the coun-

undertaking."
The result of the first announcement
of the loan has been a deluge of sub
scriptiOns, a%ggregating many millions.
Most Of these came in by wire TO the
treasury. Virtually every large city
and every state in the Union was rep
resented.

this government to Italy.
Subscriptions to the second offering

tary will call for the proceeds within
a week, possibly a few days.
