WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-lt IS
now generally accepted though Of
fetal confirmation is lacking, that
J. Pierpont Morgan's mysterious
visit to the State Department had
to do with the possibility of a
vast international loan to Ger
many, provided that France con
scented to a definite adjustment of
the reparations demands.
The corolliary follows that there
is expectation that France Will
make the necessary concessions.
Even the amount of the proposed
loan-$1, 100000, 000-is mentioned
in Administration circles as the
sum that will be required to en-
able Germany to get on its feet
and avert the total collapse that
otherwise impends and that will
naturally come in Central Europe
in the spring when the distressed
peoples are confronted with %

ployed. This I personally know to
be true In respect to the great ma
jority Of Washington laundries
II Mr.. Baker has meritorious
claim against any certain laundry he
has his proper redress against it
against the industry. If the laundry
in question is not reliable or respon-
sible he should confine his abuse to
that concern. No doubt, had he re-
quested they would have gladly per-
mitted the use of their name with
the privilege Of likewise presenting
their side of the controversy.
1t is to be observed that Mr.. Baker
did not value his duck trousers SUM-
GENTLY to make a personal complaint
at headquarters. Did he expect the
clerk answering the telephone to per-
emptorily dispatch the prizes asked
for the trousers alleged to have been
lost without any compliance on his
part with the necessary rules of the
laundry? II they did So. that would
certainly ba a "haphazard'' way of
doing business. as hundreds of claims
against laundriesf are untounded. as

the most part William is shown walking
briskly over the twenty acres of land
allotted to him for the rest of his days:
He carries himself perfectly erect. and

plainly discernabie.
The former emperor wears a pointed
beard of the Van Dyke type, which, with
his hair, appears to be perfectly white

Sir John Bradbury and his asso-

possibilities of arranging a tempo

exerting considerable pressure on the
government to prevent the intended ia

saw would take the form of immediate

settlement by unanimous approval In
the commission rather than isolated
action by tho French. -
Sir John Bradbury will therefore make
a strong effort to obtain additional
guarantees meeting both the French
and British positions, or some temporary
solution. where a moratorium would
not be necessary. A loan Of f12.000, 900
would make possible the carrying out
of the schedule OF cash payments for
the remainder of this year: The British
believes that such loan may
be raised If Germany can gather to-
