 WASHINGTON, April 24.-Arrange- ments for finaIicng the entente powers are now progressing, the first loan negotiations being well under way. Prominent bankers are now ia the city and more are known to be on their way.
 It is rumored that these bankers are congregating upon summons from President Wilson, but no official notice has been issued to that effect
 The fact, however, that to a man, they refuse to be interviewed on this subject. is leading the public to draw their own conclusion.
 This may be simply precaution.

AUTO EMPLOYED
FOR ROAD WORK
Car Pulls Scraper and Thus
Replaces Team Of Horses,

GOTEBO, Okla. MAJ N-(Spe.
cialO--A new use has been found for
the automobile. II has been employed
as a means OF asphyxiating prairie
dogs and for dragging roads, among
other things but now it has actually
been made to take the place OF team
in the work OF pulling small scrapers
used IN filling approaches to culverts.
Use OF the automobile for this branch
OF road work was nccessitated when It
was seen that many farmers along the
proposed central route OF the Ozark
trail were too busy with their crops to
devote the usual amount OF time to
the trail
Ozark trail enthusiasts, however
would not allow the scarcity OF men
or teams to divert them The conse
quence was the appearance Of the au-
,omobile. The scraper is attached TO
the car by a long rope. One man
drives the car and the other handles
the ,craper. Together they can ac-
complish more work than three or
four men and teams under the old
method.

Germany regarding the sailing Of

tary Daniels. Ii was contained in a
letter to the navy department, the sec
retary said and was as follows;
An interesting feature IN con-
nectlon with the arrival OF the de-
Stroyers is the report that their
sailing appeared in Berlin newspa
pers about four days before their
arrival and also that a field OF
mines was planted Immediately
off the entrance OF the port at
which they arrived the day before
the arrival took place. These were
the first mines planted in that vi
cinity during the previous three

ment or speculation as TO how Berlir
