RUMANIA SEEKS TO PLACE LOAN
 IN THIS COUNTRY

Bucharest, June 24 Rumania is seeking to place a loan in the United States and wants to give as security her six per cent national bonds, with out lien on her forests or her oil properties.
 According to Le Progress, the coun-
 trys most pressing problem is the re-
 organization of finances. which are in
 a confused condition, partly due to
 the dumping in Rumania of several billions of Austria-Hungarian crowns
 Russian and Ukrainian rubles and
 other worthless moneys. Within the
 past ten months the value of the lei
 has decreased from ten to the dollar
 to 55.S0 to the dollar, accarding to
 the fluctuations of the market.
 This depreciation is also due, it is
 stated to an illigetimate influx of pa-
 per money from Germany. During
 the German occupation, the. Germans
 established the General Bank of Ru-
 mania and issued large quantities of paper money bearing the name of this bank. It is suspected that since the armistice, the Germans have snug gled into Rumania more of this money printed up in Germany. Le Progress states that at the be- ginning of the war the Rumanian na. tional debt was only 500, 0,0O0,000 lei ana that now Is more Cndn 5U, 900, 900, 0,O00, with no means of est1- l mating the exact amount of paper money in circulation. The standard paper money of the country at pres. l ent is that issued by the National Bank of Rumania.
 In June, paper money printed ir | the United States will go into circu- | lation and all other moneys will be | with drawn, it is believed, through the
 Rumanian government, since it has l taken over the new provinces of Tran | sylvania and Bukovina and Bessara- 1 bia where crowns and rubles are ir l circulation, has not yet decided how l it will solve note circulation problem 1 or what value will be given to these | old moneys.
 1 Meanwhile the Rumanian govern l ment is making a determined efforl | to stamp out the new industries o1
 running cheap moneys over her iron 1 tiers and trading it for leis At time: 1 men have been arrested with four 1 five or six million patches of Austro. | Hungarian notes. Some of the mer l arrested have been Americans osten- | sibly on automobile tours from Hun i gary. Whenever captured these mon 1 ey runners are arrested and the money in their possession confiscated

DISEASE BLINDS
 MANY IN SPAIN

Madrid, June 23.-Twenty-fi five thousand sightless persons are added to the population of Spain every year owing to inattention to cases of small pox, m easles, scarlatina, meingitis and the, after-effects of sexual nnaladies
 writes Count de la Fein in Ell Sol The Count asks why Spain thus makes people blind and then abandons them to a life of miserable mendicancy in many cases. He points out that they are neither properly careN for. nor educated so that they may take care of themselves. He says most of the institutions for the blind, and there are many such establishments in the country, with rare exceptions are in-

 ington among men high in the party councils, does not mention beer or wines by name but makes a blanket declaration for more liberal inter pretation by congress of the prohi- bition amendment It is expected that sponsors of the proposal will try hard to throw the influence of the administration behind it.
 Many of the party leaders, inc1ud- ing Homer s. Cummings, the national chairman, reiterated confidence that no other platform plank would lead to a fight on the convention floor. The League of Nations declarations as framed by administration supporters was declared by these leaders to be certain of acceptance after only a nominal squabble in the platform committee.
 Senator Glass first conference after his arrival here was with Chairman Cummings. They had din- ner together in the chairman's hotel room and afterward spent most of the evening in consultation.
 Word of MT. Bryan's announcement at Helena, Mont, that he would sup i port Senator Walsh of that state for 1 permanent chairman of the conven- | ton, came as a surprise to most Of the party chiefs here and started specula- ] ton as to how far the Nelbraskan might go in an effort to overturn the plans of the administration forces 1 Secretary of State Colby, Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Chairman Cummings have been mentioned bg administration supporters for the per manent chairrn anship but it was saie today there had been no decision.
 The suggestion that MT. Cummings who will be temporary chairman, bs continued as presiding officer, was pu- 1 forward today as a means of shorten 1 ing the convention proceedings by dis pensing with the forma1ities of sec ond convention organization. MT Cummings said, however, that h' l hoped some one else would be giveI the permanent chairmanship.
 One hitch in the arra ngements re
 naining to be eliminated had to d.
 with thes seating of state delegation i which exceed in number the nation Lal committees allotment. In sever al states two or three times the al | loted number of delegates were SC | lected with the intention that eacl Convention officials said every effor
