REPUBLIC OF CUBA
TO GET BIG LOAN
Capt. Rosendo Torras, Consul in
This City, Advised That the
Congress of That Country
Has Passed Foreign Loan Bill

Capt Rosendo Torras, Cuban vice
consul in this city, yesterday received
telegraphic information from Senior
Padro, Cuban minister at Washington,
advising that the Cuban congress had
passed the foreign loan bill.
This legislation has been pending
in the Cuban lawmaking body for
some time and means much for the
reha biIitation of the Cuban commerce
and business generally.
1t is of particular interest to Bruins
wick and to all other port cities, for
the reason that up to the time of the
present financial crisis in Cuba, there
was large volume of shipping to
many Cuban ports. 1t is now believ.
ed that this business wilt speedily re-
turn and it will mean much to the COM
merce Of the ports.
The telegram from Minister Padro
reads as follows:
"Please make public the informa-.
tion that the Secretary of State cables
me that the Cuban congress has au-
thorized q foreign loan providing
means by which all past obligations of
the republic of Cuba will be paid. This.
and other important measures will
place the government and the credit
OF the country on solid basis" 81

Obligation to Brunswick
Payment be Made Promptly.

Messrs. F. E. Twitty and Fred G.
Warde, representing the Brunswick
Board of Trade and the Young Mems
club, returned yesterday from Jack
sonville where they went to investi-
gate the situation as to the collection
of the amount due by the Jacksonville
people on the Darien bridge.
Both of the gentlemen are enthusi-
astic in their praise of the very cordial
fashion in which they were received
by the people of Jacksonville and be-
cause of the additional reason that ar
rangements were perfected whereby,
it is believed, that the amount due
from that source will soon be paid.
Both of the Brunswickians appear
ed before the Jacksonville Auto club
and in neat talks explained in full the
situation, which as is generally known
in Brunswick, is growing to be del
icate matter. The whole situation
was thoroughly explained by them,
every detail being thrashed out and
an earnest appeal was made that Jack
sonEille liquidate her qhota of the In
debtedness as speedily as possible.
Messrs. Twitty and Warde were Civ
en- the very closest attention on the
part Of the large number of Jackson
vile business men present and they
were assured that there was no dispo-
sition on the part of the people of that
city to sidestep the obligation.
1t was finally agreed to turn over
to the Brunswick people a handsome
new tractor, said to be worth $1,000,
and to pay 5000 in cash, now in bank.
1t was further agreed by the club to
arrange at once to make an additional
payment to the Brunswick people of
$1,000 on the amount due by Jackson
vile.
With these payments there will still
be something like $4,000 due on the
Jacksonville quota and the members
of the Jacksonville Auto club have
agreed to go before the Chamber of
Commerce early this week and make
a very sincere effort to produce the
Messrs. Twitty and Warde are de-
lighted with their visit to the Flor
ida city and they are positive that her
quota will be in hand in a few weeks.

Used i'm Senatorial Primary
and, 1t Seems, All Others in
Future.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE Austral-
ian ballot system will be used in some
counties in the senatorial primary
October II, as it was in the guberna-
torial primary in September, accord
ing to state politician and they pre-
dict that before many more elections
all counties will put it in operation.
1t must not be forgotten, political
observers point out, that the Austral-
ian ballot was one old-time Populist
plan that Democrats opposed Now
both Democrats and Republicans in
Georgia favor the Australian ballot
with practical unanimity.
Two successive grand jury recon-
mendations are required to put the
Australian ballot system in operation.
Then, when sufficient number Of
counties have adopted it, many poll
ticians claim tn law should be
amended so as to make it mandatory
on the minority of counties, in order
that the state. it is claimed, by reas-
enable, gradual process soon may
have a clean, dignified, safe uniform
ballot system which will permit, to

WAR DEPARTMENT
GIVES APPROVAL
Authority Given for the Con-
struction of the Necessary
Bridges on the Great Saint
Simon Highway.

Information was received by Acting
Chairman E. L. Stephens, of the Glynn
county commissioners yesterday to
the effect that the War Department
had approved submitted plans for the
construction of the st. Simon high.
way.
Whiee this is largely a matter Of
form, it is nevertheless another step
in the preparations now being made
to. get to work ON this big project in
which Brunswick and Glynn county
have such deep interest.
Under the law, it is necessary for
the War Department to give its ap-
proval to all bridges. ETC., that are to
be built over navigable streams, hence
it was necessary. to- get the authority
in question.
When questioned on the subject last
night Mr.. Stephens said that it was
the intention of authorities to push
the work as rapidly as possible. The
bonds have to be validated in Glynn
superior court, and it is hoped that
thislcan be done November first. In
that event, the work on the highway
will be commenced early in December.
Mr.. Stephens was of course delight
ed that there was no objections offer
ed by the War Department.

BRlTAlN'S., PLAIN STATEMENT
(By Associated Press)

London, Oct. IA sensation has
been caused by the letter from An
drew Bonar Law upholding the British
governments attitude in the near east
ern crisis.
The pronouncement is widely held
as having been the equivalent of a
direct threat to bring the British
troops home from the Rhine and com
pletely terminate the entene unless
France comes into line with the Brit
ish policy in the near east matter.
1t is surmised that the cabinet
members, especially Premier Lloyd
George and Colonial Secretary Church
ill, had something more than mere
knowledge of the launching of this ut
terance at the moment of Foreign Sec.
retary CurZon's mission.
