 The loan of $1O0,000,00O to the French republic, floated in this country in part payment of Frances share of the Anglo-French loan of $5OO, ,OOO, ,0O0 which natures October 15, was overscribed almost coinci- dently with it's offering. The speed with which the issue was taken up, together with the fact that small investors manifested exceptional in- terest in the issue and sbucribed for la large amount for investment are available in the United States and can be called out by mcritious offer ings and attractive terms, but also stands as testimony to America's s faith in Frances herioc progress to- ward reconstruction. The French loan will bear interest at the rate of eight per cent. and will mature in 25 years. A sinking fund will provide for redeeming not less than $4 400, ,O00 of the bonds annually for five years at maximum of no per cent. and accrued interest. After the five-year

BAN ON BONDS.

Shanghai, Sept. 1S-All Shanghai's larger Chinese commercial and bank ing institutions have placed a ban
 upon the latest issue of bonds offer ed by the Peking government and sold for time in Shanghai at 12 per cent of their face value. It was re- ported in Chinese financial circles in Shanghai that the Peking govern ment brought out $20,000,c00 worth of these bonds after failing to obtain money for current needs from Japan
 or from other sources. The attitude of the commercial and financial in- tcrests in connection with the bonds was set forth in a telegram of pro- test that was sent to the Peking gov ernment. This was signed by 52 To- cal organizations and the SFhng- hai Streets Unions, representing all
 the larger trading guilds of the sea port. In this message it is pointed out that these bonds will in time come into the hands of foreigners who will enforce the demand that they be redeemed at full face value.

APPEALS TO SOUTH:

The Democratic national committee makes the following appeal to Southern democrats for funds to elect Governor Cox:
 The Solid South along with the rest of the country and the Southern Dem ocrats along with other Americans have greatly profitted by the wise and able administration of the last eight years.
 In the result of the present nation al election they are vitally interest ed. They have on their hands no To- cal fights. Their interest in the presidential campaign while keen is not so active as that of the Northern Eastern and Western democrats who are bearing the burden of battles both in their state and in the nation
 The Southern democrats, however should take an active part and no be merely interested bystanders 1T this great contest. It is to be hoped for the good of the Democratic party and for the good of the nation ant for their own good, that they contrib ute as largely as they can to th' Democratic campaign fund.
 The Democrats are drawing thei money from the body of the people They cannot use some and will no use others of the methods of rais ing money adopted by the republi cans. Each individual Democra should contribute his part to Th comparatively small amount Q money need to elect Governor Cox

Health Advice Conducted Under Direc- tiOn of the U s. Public
 Health Service
MILK

Milk may be builder or a menace to health!
 Of all the diseases transmitted by milk, tuberculosis is the most danger. ous.
 Tuberculosis from milk is either o1 human or bovine origin. Human in lection of milk is rare.
 The most important source of milk for tuberculosis comes through the tuberculosis COW. Careful studies by physicians indS:ate that about 26 per cent of all cases of tuberculosis in children under 16 are due to in lection from milk or milk products
 This has been proved by the exam ination of milk and the testing of cows. Studies of the milk supplies ot cities in all parts of the world have shown that from 5 to 15 per cent of the raw milk sold contains tubercu- losis germs. This makes it important that all milk be pasteurized before it reaches the consumer.
 The testing of cows with tuberculin has shown that from 15 to 40 per cent of the milk cows are infected with tuberculosis.
 Spreading of disease through milk frequently happens through the care less habits of human being. This may be true anywhere from the time the milk comes from the COW until it reaches the consumer.

UNIFORM LABOR.

The establishment of a relatively uniform level in the wages paid to lGbor throughout the world is an im- sportant postwar development with 2 Sftnl bearing on the future position 8ol Inc United States to foreign trade. EIiis changed wage situation, due in Ierge measure to the war, will exert
 salutary influence on the move < 1hent of American goods, tending to lsvel world production costs and Iermitting this country's entrance Into freer competition with goods III foreign manufacture.
 The general foreign exchange sit g nation, and more particularly the Int that the American dollar is at premium in Europe, stands today as S \ the most serious obstacle in the way of American foreign trade.

 During the half century preceding the war, period representing the toIden age of English industrial and 2 txade development, large and prof itable British overseas commerce was developed. A low unit of cost in 2 pfoduction was largely responsible \ Tor this growth. Germany, likewise producing at comparatively low cost, developed highly organized commercial system and made serious inrcads into British commerce dur ing the ten years just prior to the war. The United States, electing to operate upon different standard of living, involving higher wage cost, was unable to gain position as a < lar9e exborter of manufactured goods comparable with Great Britain md Germany, except in those lines < whore our wider use of automatic $ machinery reduced the unit cost of 3production to point that permitted < eanpetition with similar products ssnufaetured on the lower European

THIRTY THOUSAND
 EXPECTED TO co
 TO VETERAN MEET
Cleveland Makes Extensive Preparations to Enter
 tain Legion

Cleveland, O., Sept. IS. Thirty thousand former service men are ex- pected to attend the second annual convention of the American Legion here on September 27, 28 and 29.
 The convention, which will take up problems of nationwide interest, will also provide opportunity for scores of reunions of divisions and smaller units. Visitors will include many distinguished men.
 A parade on the opening day is to be one of the features of the gathering. All of the Legionnaries will march. Sixty bands will furn- ish the music. The size of the parade is expected to freshen memories of the veterans of the time when the French peasants stood at roadsides to watch the men of the American Expeditionary Force marching to the front.
 There will be big questions to de- eide. Among the chief of them is that of the attitude of the Legion to- ward bonus for the 100000 mem bers of the Legion, and the question of a drive to bring every eligible ex-service man within the fold. The aim of such campaign, leaders state, would be to make the Legion the most powerful, non-partisan, un- selfish force in American affairs.
 While various state departments of the Legion will sumit other resoluA tions for action by the national body, the following twelve matters are expected to receive the most at- tention.
 Twelve Big Questions.
 An Americanization program, hav- ing for it's purpose the assimilation of the nations alien population and aiding immigrants in learning Am erican ideals, history and customs.
 The four-fold bonus proposition: CD Land settlement-former service iaen and women to receive $l.5e for each day of service, to apply on the purchase of land and government projects, or loans for buy.ng equip ment; CD Home aid, with $2 for each day of service, to apply en the purchase of home or farm; ,3). Vocational training, with 31 59 for each day ofservice, to be paid within a year after the approval of the bill; H(4) Cash compensation of $1.50 for each day of service, to be paid as long as the recipients are obtaining education, from the government.
 More adequate aid and care for wounded American soldiers.
 Granting of immediate citizenship to all who served in the army and navy or marile corps.
 Revision of the civil service regu- lations to make it easier for former service men to chtain pubic employ ment.
 Decision upon definite military or military policy.
 Declaration of Armistice pxJ, No vember II, as national holiday.
 Drastic action for those who have proved slackers in the world war,
 Opposition to the participation of Legion men, as members ci the ore ganixation, in labor disputes.
