PROPOSED LIBERIAN LOAN OF FIVE MILLION TO DETERMINE
 U. s. INFLUENCE IN AFRICA

Washington, July 1.-The State De partment having made its recon mendations, the application of 6i- beria for a S5.OOO,00O loan is TOW before Congress for final decision Whether the United States is to con- tinue as the dominant foreign ind-I- ence in the African republic or is to resign that place to Great Britain probably depends upon the attitude taken by Congress.
 Reports here indicate that British interests, which now practically con trol industry in Liberia are ready to some indication that French capital ists would welcome an opportunity to come to the assistance of the black republic.
 Despite the fact that Liberia is perhaps richest in natural resources of Africa. the Liberian government is practically bankrupt and must have further outside assistance in the imm ediate future. As far back as 1871 the little republic was forced to seek foreign loans. and it was British capital which responded
 Conditions had become so unfavor- able in 1908 that in response to an invitation from Liberia an American commission was sent to investigate the conclusions of the commission resulting in a new loan agreement under which an international re- 
 eral receivership reserved to the United States, and Great Britain, France and Germany participating.
 British in Control.
 After Liberia entered the war the German receiver was expelled, the German cable and radio stations, as well a German private property, be- ing left in the hands of the American receiver general as alien property custodian. During the war the eco homie condition of the black repub- lie became very acute. The people were on the verge of starvation and the government was forced to enter into an agreement for a loan from the Bank elf British West Africa, Limited an English concern which practically controls the banking sit uation in Liberia, just as the Elder Dempster Company. a British steam ship line, practically controls the transportation facilities Of the repub- lie
 U. s. Disposed E'avorably.
 Early in 1918 Liberia made an ap- peal to the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States for a loan of S5,oO0, 900. Al commission headed by Charles Dunbar Burgess King president of Liberia, came to Wash ington recently to negotiate the loan On April 15 President King was ree ceived by President Harding. and from time to time members of the commission have been in conference

PRESS DELEGATES ARE TO VISIT
 HISTORIC SPOTS

HiIo, Island of Hawaii, T.. H., July 11.-Delegates to the Press Congress of the World, which will meet in Honolulu next October, and will visit this island at the conclusion of their business sessions, will be shown the spot where forty years ago, flow Of lava from Mauna-loa volcano, which threatened to destroy thS city, was the royal line faced the oncoming river of fire and prayed that Hilo might be spared:
 Not only will the visitors see the spot where the 10-months flow of lava finally stopped as Princess Ruth faced the molten river alone, but they will hear from the lips of men who saw the incident the story of Hi los escape.
 For more than 300 days, accord ing to eyewitnesses, the lava had been pouring steadily from the side of the mountain, when suddenly the stream of fire changed it's course and bore down on the city of Hilo- The efforts of the white men failed to stop the approach of disaster, so HaWalIans took the matter into their own hands
 Royal Hawaiian blood was said to bear weight with Pele, goddess of the volcano, so Princess Ruth at Honolulu was appealed to. She an- swered the call and, as she gazed to- wards the mountain with her coter1e of followers behind her, she could see the track of destruction extending upward, mile after mile, while at it's forefront almast on the edge of the city trees were burning and great columns of smoke were ascending.
 A platform had been built in the path of the flow and, as Princess Ruth mounted its steps, sacrifices of pigs and chickens were offered to the angry goddess of the volcano. The princess, on her knees, appealed to Pele to spare Hilo. And the flow stopped
 Plainly visible against the foot of this hill today is to be seen the face of the lava flood, as it piled up and hardened in 1881 when the Princess Ruth came to the rescue of her people,

BIG FIGHT ARENA
 SWAYED UNDER WEIGHT

Jersey City, N. J., July 11-Ihe swaying of the fight arena structure at Jersey City during the Dempsey Carpentier fight was the subject Of explanation recently by Cornelius $. and Joseph w. Edwards. The Ed wards brothers, who are brothers of Governor Edwards, built the arena.
 '"The arena structure is absolutely safe," said Joseph w. Edwards. "1t was planned by engineers who know all about strength of materials. It swayed because it was all held toge- ther. We tested the supports by putting on five-ton weights and ob- serving the effect with instruments. The arena is built that if it were possible to lift it it would all hang together. All buildings will sway. There isn't a chimney in the world that is well built that won't sway. If it would not sway it might fall to pieces. The posts have eight-foot centres, and are SX10 inches, 1OX1O inches and 10x12 inches The only possible chance of any break is in faulty plank. The building satisfied Building Inspector John Eaul, who said:
 '@rex Rickard is insured, but if there should be an accident respon- sible city officials would be damned forever

 Included in Mexico's exports to the United, States are mineral ores, su- gar, vegetables, wooden products and miscellaneous articles.
 The southern republic, according to report, is not as dependent on the United States for shoes and boots as heretofore There are three shoe factories in Mexico City which are furnishing practically all the foot wear for interior Mexico and to large extent along the border.A new tannery has also been opened there with modern tanning devices which prepare the hides for immediate use in the shoe factories.

FRENCH MAY
 HAVE FLEET
 OF AIRPLANES

Paris, July 11-A fleet of 1000 air planesc, suitable for war, is proposed in a bill now before the Chamber of Deputies. It is planned to estab- fish and operate these warcraft com mercially so that the cost to the governm ent would be little if any more than under it's present policy.
 The author of the measure, De- putty Paul Benazet, called attention to the large and expensive aviation personnel of the government which consumes but does not produce"
 Strongly advocating the creation of a great protecting aerial force, M. Beuazst, urged that the governm ment create corporation to operate com rnercially, transporting passengers and freight and establishing air pos tai routes, thus training aviators, de- yeloping aviation, cementing relations with the colonies and meantime keep ing the fleet ready for immediate conversion to war purposes. ~

 While there has been no official announcement as to the recommen- dation made by Secretary Hughes on the advisabiiity of the loan, the tra- ditfonal policy of the United States towards Liberia would suggest favor able consideration. The original col ony on the west coast of Africa was founded under the auspices of Presi- dent Monroe, and in S39 the United States intervened when the little colony entered into a customs dis pute with the British colony of Sierre Leona.
 Defining the American attitude toward Liberia, Daniel Webster said in 1S4S Without having passed laws for recognition. the United States takes deep interest in the welfare of the people of Liberia and is dis posed to extend a full degree of countenance and protection
