IB|G GERMAN LOAN
 MAY BE OPPOSED.
Claim Allies Are Advancing Money Solely for
 Selfish Gain
By Associated Press

Berlin, May 2T.--Opposition Is de- veIoping in industrial circles here to an international loan for Ger many, based on the opinion that while 1t would for short time stabilize exchange on marks, the ultimate effect would be to undermine Ger man industry, forcing Germany out of the world markets. Pessimism has apparently gained the upperhand In quarters capable of judging the situation, where the attitude toward a loan has lately changed.
 Industrialists expres the belief that the entente. in proposing loan, are concerned not with. Germany's we'll being, but merely with their own desire to be freed from German com petition In international marts of trade. They say that German indus try and trade would lose enormously on pending orders and that new orders could not be thought of.
 It is pointed out in these circles that the United States, as the power which would put the loan into effect, forgets that she would be sympa thetically affected through com plete collapse of Germany. inasmuch as the United States could not for a long time sell products and food stuffs which otherwise could be ex- ported. These industrialists suggest that slow improvement If depreciated values from the inside by sacrifices in prevailing profits would be the better course, and that this would be in the interest of the whole people economically.

From currents and Characters in
 China" by Nathaniel Peffer. in Asia
 Magazine.
 If there is any hope at all for re- construction in China through the medium of politics--which there probably Is not--that hope lies most in Wu Pei-ful. Wu Pei-fu is a unique figure. He is unique among the men of his class. first. in that he is not ignorant. He has to his credit a con- siderable achievement in Chinese scholarship. He is also a keen stu dent of foreign learning and has a moderately good grasp of foreign af- fairs.
 He Is also unique, or almost unique, in that he is honest. There is scarcely another Chinese military commander of whom 1t can be said that he has not used his soldiery to bleed dry the territory In which he has been gar risoned. In fact, when the govern ment has sent him a certain sum for the pay roll of his troops General Wu has actually given his men their pay all of 1t. thus violating the hal lowed tradition that to the troops goes half their pay and to the general and his favorites the other half By thus scabbing on the union, he has incurred the hostility of the other military chieftains. It isn't cricket.
 He has incurred the hostility of the military chieftains. but he has the whole hearted loyalty of his troops. His troops will fight for him: the troops of other generals won't fight for them. Why should they? One un- derstands how the myth that Chinese soldiers are always towards has orig mated. It Is indeed myth. Given cause and an honest leader. they will fight.
 How he keeps up morale saw viv- idly illustrated when I went down to Paotingful to call on General Wu. On my arrival heard the startling news that there had been mutiny in one of his detachments. l got into a mule cart and rode right into the city to learn the details. As we entered the first gate I saw something hanging from one of the caves, greenish, pasty looking thing with an edging of red. I looked closer. It was hu- man head. I saw three others sus- pended from trees near General Wu's yamen.
 While I was waiting in the yamen to be received. I heard the story from an under officer. For some weeks there had been suspicious that one of the adjutants had been squeezing on the pay of the soldiers of his regiment and there had been mutterings of discontent. A delega- tion Lad visited the adjutant's quar- ters the night before and demanded the remainder of their pay. threat ening to take the reEimental books to General Wu unless they rot tG
