LONDON Nov. 1.-The change In
British psychology. with particular re-
spect to lottery loans, referred to pre-
viously in these dispatches, is crystal
lizing rapidly in parliamentary moves
to compel the Government to issue such
loan.
The main reason for this. is that men,
bers believe the French lottery loan will
cause a heavy drain of British funds
due to the purchase in France OF these
bonds containing sporting chance
The only way to prevent such an out
flow of capital. it is argued. Is TO give
the British public an opportunity 10
make such an investment at home.
The fact that France expects with
the help OF prizes 20 float her big loan
with an interest charge of only per
cent. annually also is an incentive for
a similar British loan. Although the
investment market at the moment is not
considered as exactly favorable to a
Government loan, il is believed that i'm
provement will come soon. especially II
the forecast made by the Chancellor OF
the EXchequer is borne out
1t is announced that $4,000, 900 OF
the loap from Japan will be paid off at

rowing Great Britain is reducing her

BY March 81 next the external indebt-
edness will be cut down greatly. Prac-
tically the only outside loans then will
be those of the United States and Can

This will improve the home situation

Copyright, 1919. all rights reserred
PARIS, Nov. 1.-Rumania formally
notified the supreme council of the
peace conference to-day that she had
annexed Bessarabia. Ever since the
armistice her troops have occupied
this district and its possession has
been one of her claims before the con-
ference. Failing to get this claim al
own hands and again virtually defied
the peace conference by formally in
cooperating this rich and fertile part
OF Russia, which is about the size of
Ireland, into her own domain.
Indignation is running high in
American conference circles over the
action of Rumania and it may lead to
the early departure of the American
delegates.
President Wilson refused absolutely
early in the Peace Conference to approve
the claim of Rumania to Bessarab bia
and on several recent occasions the
American delegates have made known
that they never would consent to the
transfer of this territory. II is under
stood that the Supreme Council recently
informed Rumania that If she annexed
Bessarabia and that IL Russia, reorgan-
lied. sought to recover II Rumania would
not have any support
The Bessarabians have had a delega-
tion here protesting against the occupa-
tlon of their country by the Rumanians
who apparently have set up a military
despotism there. Rumania plainly has
been encouraged by the failure of the
Supreme Council to assert its authority
in the case of Fiume and also In that
of the Baltic provinces and by the inn
munity which she herself has enjoyed
since occupying Budapest. which she is
evacuating now
Just before the Supreme Council re.
ceived notice from Rumania bf the
annexation II had sent a note informing
Rumania. as we'll as Serbia. that they
would not be allowed to sign the Bull
garian treaty until they had signed that
with Austria.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The next
move in the nationwide strike of btu

effect to-day, is up to the men who
left the mines or their leaders. After
two weeks of feverish activity pre-
pairing to meet the strike Govern
ment officials sat back to-day Ito see
what would happen"
Reports to the capital show that
the best claim of union officials Is
that 100000 men are out. This is
regarded as favorable, as it means
that nearly 100000 men remained on
the job, and nearly one-third pro-
duction of bituminous coal, even II
all of the men out, are striking and
not merely taking the holiday.

spectaL. .Cdble Desparch 70 Tar srN.

LONDON. Nov. 1.-The settlement of
the great British railway strike by
granting a minimum wage of 81 shill-
ings, approximately s12.5o a week, has
brought a temporary peace to the
railways here. While the minimum
wage may seem small to Americans, IT
is a considerable Improvement over the
old level of wages to railway workers,
who have been about the lowest paid
labor in the kingdom.
The minimum of $3.50 applies
chiefly to porters, ticket collectors,
signalmen and car men. Others, such
as guards, conductors and engineers,
already were receiving about so per
cent. more than the minimum. Thus
the wages OF locomotive engineers run
about SIS a week, but even this is be-
low the ordinary wage in England
which is now from 500 to $50 a week
II might appear difficult for railway
men to live on their present wages, but
prior TO the war porters received 81 10
SIS a week, while conductors, engineers
guards and signalmen got IS to $40
The porters managed to live by OBJ
tanning small tracts of ground along
the railroad and raising their own
vegetables. This practice is being con-
tinued.
Rent Allowance Demanded.
The higher class labor, however. still

ing a rent allowance. The present wage
is based on the cost OF living if the
index number falls below 40 per cent
of the pre-war rate wages are TO de-
crease The index number now is l2C
per cent There is not much prospect
of increased pay for railway men. be-
cause the public already is accusing the
miners of profiteering and their wages
are only about $25 weekly on an aver
age.
Special concessions were made during
the war to the coal miners to stimulate
output but no such concessions were
made TO the railway men, The cost OF
living In England compared with that
in America is either higher or lower
depending on the class of goods bought
An American railway man would re.
