FINANcES or
 THE kENNECOTT
 ARE GIVEN OUT
Group of Bankers Headed by ]. P. Morgan and Con- pany Has Loaned the
 Corporation Money.

NEW YORK, March S.--A group of bankers headed by J. P. Morgan & Co.,, has loaned Kennecott Copper Corporation $12,0O0,OOO for one year from March 1 next at 6H: p,r cent. These are the same bankers who loaned the corporation $16,O00,000 in March, 1917, to finance the major part of the purchase of 195.500 addi- tional chares. of Utah Copper Com pany stock. ss1.
 The total cost of this purchase was approximately $23,000,000, and the re- maining s5,OO0,000 was paid in cash by the corporation. This $16,O00,000 loan took the form of two-year 6 per cent. bonds, the last installment of which, amounting to $4,000,0O0, will expire on the Fist. of this month. These bonds were sold privately. And it is not expected that the new loan will be offered to the public.
 It was stated by one of the bank CTS who will participate in the new loan that while the Kennecott does not really need the money at this time, the directors thought it advis- able to obtain additional funds to enable it to carry it's accumulated metal without impairing the cash re. serves until the copper market i'm proves. and, meanwhile. to go ahead with development work on a large scale.
 In addition to retiring the $4,000, 900 bonds, due next month, it is only log ical to surmise that the proceeds of the new loan for the most part will be used to continue development of the Braden Copper Co.,. Kennecctt's big subsidiary in South America. Up to the present time the surplus earn ings from this mine have been turned back into the property. The Kenne- colt has also loaned the Braden ad- dftional funds to put through its big expansion program.
 The revised calculations of Bra den's reserves as of Dec. 31, 1917, showed 239 9.000.0 900 tons of developed and partially developed ore of an ay' craze grade of 2.21 per cent. copper
 Braden's development was kept back during the war. especially ill 1917. In that 12 months deliveries were delayed in construction material machinery and supplies. due largely to the precedence being given by manufacturers to Government con tracts. and the lack of ocean tonnage to transport the freight to Chile

Docs Of Mar.

The canine department in the French
army is a command in itself; its four
footed recruits are enrolled almost
more carefully than real soldiers. They
have an official record, a number, an
identity plate, and are lost sight
of. The dogs already have their roll
of honor. Several have been cited in
orders for having saved whole COM
panies by their sagacity; others have
enabled surprises to be brought off as
we'll as avoided. AS liaison agents
they are invaluable, while as ammuni-
ton carriers they r practically in
dispensable. While a few of them can
never get used to shot and shell, the
majority quickly get as case-hardened
as old soldiers. A dog carrying a mes
sage through a terrific barrage fire has
been seen blown into the air, to come
down with a thud that made it sense
less, to remain stunned a while, then
pick itself up, give itself a good shake,
and resume its journey.

ALWAYS HUNGRY AT NIGHT
Kansas City Man Beginning to Fear
He Is Afflicted With an Un-
patriotic Stomach.

A. Kansas City man who is trying to
be very patriotic is beginning to wen
der if he is not cursed with a pro-
German stomach. During the daytime,
when he is up On his feet, he has no
trouble observing the food regulations,
but just as 0 as he lies down at
night to go to sleep, his stomach takes
advantage of the fact that he is fiat
on his back and refuses to give way
to Morpheus until he eats again.
"Sometimes I manage to get to sleep
without taking on an extra cargo Of
food" he says. "But when I do I usu-
ally wake up in the middle Of the night
with a mad craving for food, and the
only way I can get back to sleep is to
get up, go out to the kitchen and cook
myself some hot food"
The man says he has tried his best
to overcome this hunger habit. but is
unable to do SO. Several times a week
he will go to the kitchen in the middle
Of the night, put on a skillet and fry a
piece Of ham, or bacon and eggs, and,
after eating an ordinary size meal, will
go back to bed and sleep. He says he
has tried eating fruits and light food,
but his stomach will have none Of these
and insists upon meats. Often when he
is standing over q skillet dressed only
in his pajamas in the dead of night he
says he feels like a thief stealing food,
while others who periodically observe
all of MI. Hoover's regulations are
asleep.
Maybe you have a tapeworm with
Teutonic leanings," a friend suggested,
maybe l have" the man replied
sadly, "but I think it is an inherited
