Berlin, March 1S.-(By the As
sociated Press Wirth s
long search for a man to fill the
post of ambassador to the United
States appears to be nearing an
end. Although at the foreign Office
yesterday it was stated that mo
choice has yet been made" the
chancellor's efforts for the last
week are known to have been cen
tered on DR.. Otto Ludwig Wied-
feldt, leading member of the
Krupp directorate, and one of the
foremost German industrialists and
economists.
While DR.. Wiedfeldt is known to
be acceptable to the government.
whose confidence he enjoys, strong
efforts are being made in circles
outside the cabinet to persuade him
to remain at home, where it is ar
gued his services are more urgently
needed.
DR.. Wiedfeldt was in the Far
East about three years and spent
three months travelling in the
United Statse shortly before the
war. He is the author of numerous
works dealing with administrative,
economic, tariff and transportation
questions. He is so years old and

GRANTED BIG
LOAN BY us.
Missouri and North Ar
kansas to Receive
100000.

Washington, March 1S.-To aid
Missouri and North Arkansas rail-
road the Interstate commerce com
mission gave notice today govern
ment loan of $3,5O0,0O0 would be ex-
tended providing that the owners
and the receiver of the property
comply with certain conditions in
its corporate reorganization.
The commission by a decision this
week provided for a greater revenue
for the railroad by increasing its
propOrtionate joint rates from
routes maintained with other car
riers.
Must Issue Bonds.
In a communication to FetuS J.
Wade, receiver appointed for the
railroad the commission today
agreed to grant it 100000 for the
purpose of paying off outstanding
debts and 100000 for the provision
of new equipment and for better
ments of its line, which runs from
Joplin, Mo, TO Helena. Ark. The re-
ceivers and the holders of claims
against the road, however, the let
ter said, must consent to the COM
piete wiping out of all liens and
claims and equities of ownership IN
the railroad, and must issue S5,000,-
900 in a first mortgage bond issue,
constituting after the reorganiza-
tion the only debt of the road, which
the government will accept as Sc
curity for The advance.
The receiver also is required to
arrange for the issuance of $3,000,-
600 in common stock, which must
be disposed of for at least 100000
in cash which will serve as working
capital after operations are re-
sumed. The railroad suspended
completely its operations last year
after the receiver had been unable
to secure funds to maintain them
longer.
