SUR E OF SUCCESS
 OF LIBERTY LOAN
By HOLLAND

New Kork, April 6.--When the Sec retary Pf the treasury MT '"ss'
 wrote His cheerful and hopeful letter to Sena tor Calder of New horh' !" speakin s, among other thihss' oi N'' close ton nch with surface +ba+ is Eo saw those things which ev-
 arvbodv who studied the situation has
 recognid ded-but also of the undercuff
 rents which affect financial and in- dustrial| welfare-he disclosed a fact
 which was known to 1e" ei oui A' nanciaI authorities.
 The s ecretarv has not been reluG- tant to hear advice In fact, he has we1comdd it. He has been told or the extraordinary financial situation ana of the probability that the American hanks bd the public will soon begin to advartce loans to the peopie ol io eien Ian|ds who want to buy eemme- dities in this country, these advances to he nrhbablv in excess of s300,00s,o ,oee year He has been well informed respecting internationai ceHaieioHs " no doubk has learned from Fred l. Kent anh others that, if the financing oan he herfected, as it probably will, then Ehrope will trade with the United states to so great an extent as to create a yearly favorable trade ba'- anca in the United States of not less than s1 doc OOO, 900. Many other things have hedn imparted to the secretary some of them of a confidential natuI c. Now. Secretary Glass feels Justified in sayind * that all he has learned leads him not to anxiety respecting the mark eting of the new Victory Loan of SC. .OO0. .ODd, 900. but instead to faith tha, the loan Twill be absorbed by the Amer ican people.
 Some bf those who have carefully read the secretarys letter to Senator Calder sde in it an intimation that ths secretarI now believes it will not be necessary to rely chiefly upon the banks fo the support of this loan. al one time he was under some appfe- hension that the banks might be com pelled to take the loan. PresumabiJ the banks will lend funds or credit 70 those wfo are ready to take part in this subscription. But that Is dif- ferent thEng from buying the notes oy | the banks for investment.
 TWENTY MILLION INVESTORS It has been observed that Secretary Glass coTE firms the view that has pre- vailed si bee the Liberty Loan of last l fall was marketed that today there ai 2 approximately 20000,00 individuals
 I and explorations in the United States | that are how owners of Liberty Bonds, About oHe-fifth of the people of this | country have invested in these ponds l is the ve|w of the secretary. That. Tact ] of itself tends to justify the impress
 l sion that the American people have at | last been taught the value Of wise m | yestment in securities. They have | learned tb invest in good securities. !! This is taken here to mean that me
 l American public will be ready to make

HUMAN FLY CLIMBS
 CITY HALL BUILDING

Sergt. S. G. Policy. originator of the Human Fly stunt and who has climb ed the outside of buildings from coast to coast for the past eight years. gave an excellent exhibition of his ability Friay night by scaling the front of the city hall from the ground to the bel fry. Policy is only P years old and is one of the finest specimens of young manhood that has done daredevil stunts in this city. He is bunch of muscles from head to foot and hard as steel.
 Policy before scaling the building gave short talk to the crowd, saying that he was doing his stunt for the benefit of the United Workers. A col lection was taken which amounted to s49.7G, and 25 per cent. of this was given to the United Workers. The climb was started just before dusk and by the time Policy reached the belfry it was so dark that he announced that it would be foolish to undertake to make the attempt to go oyer the cor nice, which he could not tell was safe or not.
 His climb was one of the most dif7- cult that he has experienced, as the stories was so great that he only could get grip of one-ha1f an inch on smooth sloping surface. All the trim mings on the courthouse are beveled, making the gripping surface difficult
 Policy will again climb the building this evening and will give the same percentage te the Salvation Army if l they will provide collectors. He will | make his climb at e'elpek.. When he | reached the zenith of his climb he | threw down to the crowd below a | number of small boxes of chocolates.

Commission Will
Fix Further Damage

In addition to the foregoing pay
ments, Germany will also be required
to deliver additional bonds for forty
billion marks, when the commission
determines that this shall be done.
These three payments of twenty, forty
and forty billions bring the total to
O,00O, 100000 gold marks.
Beyond this total, the commission
is empowered to fix anything further
that may be required to cover Ger
manys indebtedness.
"In other words" concluded the
American authority who framed the
terms and furnished the foregoing
summary, "a commiss is set up with
power to collect from Germany to the
utmost of her capacity to pay, within
the limitation of her indebtedness"
1t is in the gold mark that all pay
ments are expressed in the final terms.
This excludes deprecated paper marks
and fixes the standard of payment in
gold. The gold mark is worth about
the same as the English shilling, and
before the war was quoted at 1882
American cents.

Stolen Nuts
Poison so East
Side Children
Surgeons From Couverneur
and Volunteer Hospitals
Treat Many Youngsters
Suffering Intense Pain

More than fifty children in the dit
tie Italy" section of the lower East
Side we're found violently i'll from the
effects of an unknown poison said to
have been contained in packages Of
nuts stolen from the back of a pedler's
wagon in Cherry Street last Monday
night. Until after 10 o'clock surgeons
from Gouverneur and Volunteer hospi-
tails were kept busy treating children
taken to the hospitals by parents The
patients suffered spells of vomiting
and complained of severe pains.
Children playing in Cherry Street
stole several bags from pedler's
wagon. They found nuts that rescm-
bled peanuts, but the shells were thin
ner and the kernals dark, and had a
peculiar taste.
In most of the houses between 200
and 400 Cherry Street children be-
tween the ages Of four and eight years
were found to be suffering effects of
the poison. Four cases were discovered
at 102 Oliver Street by Patrolman Ed
"dIu NdNel, Ol lne YAK SLfeet StatlOn,
who called an ambulance.
DR.. John Nemschusen, of Volunteer
Hospital. found Pasquale Valente, six
years old, and his brothers Tony, sew
en-. and Frank, eight. and chum,
James Alfano, eight, SO i'll they could
not tell what they had eaten. They
mentioned pills" and castor OIL" but
the surgeons believe the children also
had feasted on the myterious nuts.
DR.. John j. O'Connor, admitting
physician at Gouverneur Hospital said
last night that some of the nuts had
been obtained from the children and
sent to the Board Of Health for analy-
sis.
The police believe the nuts were a
kind used in manufacturing dyes and
were being carted to laboratory in
the neighborhood when the bags were
taken by boys.
At the hospital it was said none Of
the patients is in a serious condition.
Many Of them were sent home at mid
night.
