States TO onset in part the heavy
trade balance against her in this
country. The loan will run for two
years. bear interest at the rate Of
approximately six per cent and will
be made by a syndicate Of New York
bankers.
Negotiations for the loan have been
proceeding for some time past. The
flnal step-approyal by the American
government was announced yester-
day by Secretary McAdoo in a state
ment saying that no had so notified
Sir Thomas White. Canadian minis
ter OF finance at a recent conference.
One OF the reasons why the treasury
itself is not making the loan is that
such a credit would have TO be made
in that case indirectly through Great
Britain. Another reason is that
heavy demands already have been
made and are in prospect upon the
SO, ,0O0, 100000 authorized by congress
as a loan to the allies. A third rea-
son Is said TO he that the injection

MUST CONSTRUCT RAILWAY
CROSSINGS 20 FEET WIDE
State Railway Commission Makes
New RuIing-Would Stop Damage
to Binders and Mowers.

Bismarck, n. D.. July 26.-A SEEM
ingly unimportant ruling announced
by the railway commission Wednes-
day is really of vast importance in
the expedition of North Dakota's
grain harvest. Heretofore railway
companies have made a common
practice of planking crossings only
is feet wide.s The tread OF the aver
age binder requires a 2O-foot right
of-way. The railway commissions
ruling is that all crossings hereafter
built or renewed shall be 20 feet
wide.
Secretary J. H. Calderhead states
that many of the repairs found
necessary to binders and mowers
have been caused by the jolting OF
the machines over railway crossings
which were not planked wide enough
to give a clear passage.

Boys Stage Border Fight.

Carroll, Ia, March 3.--Several
boys living i'm the vicinity of
Eleventh, Clark and Court streets
staged miniature Mexican rev
Iolution last Tuesday afternoon, a
barn at Eleventh and Clark
streets being The scene of opera
tions and air rifles comprising
the heavy artillery. There was
but one casually, Raymond Farrell
being shot in the cheek and re-
ceivinga painful wound. The
ball apIered his lower lip near Inc
|cornefaof the mouth and entered
his mouth. He was given medical
treatment at once, and aside from
being very. painful, the wound
Wilt give him no trouble
The battle resulted in a call
for the authorities, SO Marshal
Mannenlan went up Wednesday
morning and impersonated Uncle
Sam. He warned the boys that
any further engagements would
result in paternalistic Interior
|ence on the part of the police,
and the boys directly involved in
the shooting agreed to hang their
rifles i'm the coal shed and forget
about them. Whereunon, the pa
rents of all concerned heaved a
sigh of relief.
From all that could be learned
lit seems that the battle was
waged in deadly earnest for few
minutes. and the boy who shot
Farrell claims he did so only aft
er Farrell had shot him in the
stomach. Peace reigns again and
will probably continue to reign.

Solution or Precipitation?

There are sufficient reasons for recciv-
ing with caution the unqualified announce
ment that "the submarine problem has
been solved" The author himself pro-
Jides us with two. The first is that he
gave it out not as chairman of the Naval
Consulting Board nor on behalf of his
colleagues. but only as declaration Of
personal opinion" The other is his rider.
that "of course the problem may not be
described as solved until the German sub
marines are destroyed"
1t comes, then, TO this. that some device
or group of devices has so impressed Mr..
Saunders as a practical method Of defeat
ing the submarine that he Is prepared to
stake his reputation on its success, and
that for some reason of his own he thinks
it expedicnt to prepare the public for the
inevitable event. Apparently not all of his
associates agree with him on either point.
There are some who do not think it timely
to reassure the public or prudent to pro
claim what has not yet been demonstrated
in the war zone; there are some who pro-
fess TO know nothing whatever about the
discovery; and as to the collective body 1t
is announced officially that they are still
searching for exactly that kind Of inven-
ton"
We are justified, then, in hoping for the
best, but the circumstances do not en-
courage us to expect a miracle. What was
supposed to be the conviction Of the Naval
Consulting Board proves to be the hopeful
belief of one member, whose precipitation
on this occasion is plainly deplored by his
fellows and should therefore not be &C
copied too readily as sufficient evidence OF
the desired solution.
