take to supply all the loans to the Allies.
Tho Chancellor said that 1t was an
anomalous arrangement for Great Brit.
ain to borrow from the United States
and then to lend practically the same
amount to other Allies.
The practice Of borrowing on one hand
and loanins on the other. he continued
has resulted in accounts being inflated
and credit weakened. To obviate this
he has suggested to Washington that.
while not increasing the total obliga-
tions. the United States would decrease
considerably Great Britain's financial
burdens.

pitfalls, as we'll as the front line hEhting
lines. have not been without their deeds
OF heroism. At Achiet 10 Grande there
were two hospitals where. several nights
ago. shells began falling. The orderlies
were killed and the operating theatre
was destroyed. The hospitals fell back
to Nuich!lliers only to be bombed there
that night By airmen.
Patients Fired On by RiAemen.
On the second day all the clearing
stations were back Of the second line
positions. near Roye. Harcourt. the edge
Avelny. None OF these places. however.
offered more than temporary resting
place. Again the hospitals had to retire
to a series OF positions further back.
Most Of them still are at these points.
In these retreats every patient was got
away in safety.
The closest call patients had was at
Roye. from which the hospital had
to remove in hurry. leaving sew
enty patients behind. An officer and
twelve orderlies stayed to look after
them. Happily some motor ambulances
were met and urged to go back and
make a nnal effort to get the patients
away They did so. As the last ambu-
lance left with the fnai batch Of pa
tients 1t was hred on BY advancing Ger
man rihemen.
The method OF evacuation. so far ns
time permitted. was extremely orderly.
As little material as possible was left
for the enemy. All tho stations had
nursing sisters and staffs, One sister
was killed and another was wounded
The regular procedure, however. was for
the nurses to be removed in the hrst
lorry or ambulance Then every patient
who could walk had to take to the road
Ceverely wounded were loaded In ambu'
lances and the hospital staffs then
turned TO the work Of destruction OF
