AUSTRIA OFFERS
LOAN TOAMERICA
sYNpIcATE HEADED BY J. P
MORGAN TO HANDLE ISSUE
MARKETED RECENTLY
AMOUNT NOT EXCESSIVE
'UsLIc OFFERING OF s2s,ooo.ooo
AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT BONDS
PART OF INTERNATIONAL LOAN

New York.-Public offering Of $25,-
10000 Austrian government bonds, q
part Of an international loan of $126,-
100000 to the Austrian republic, was
made in the United States by syn
dicate of bankers headed by j. p.
Morgan and Co.
The issue, which consists Of twenty
year per cent sinking fund gold
bonds, will be offered at 80 to yield
investors per cent The bonds are
guaranteed as to principal, interest
and redemption payments by the gov
ernments of Great Britain, France,
Czecho-Slovakia, Italy, Belgium,
Sweden, Denmark and Holland, and
are secured by first charge on the
gross receipts of the Austrian Gus
toms and tobacco monopoly.
1.-The Importance of the Austrian
loan which was issued recently" J. p.
Morgan, head of the banking firm Of
]. r. Morgan and Co., said in announc-
ing the offering, "lies in the fact that
the attitude of American investors to
this loan will show they are interested
In helping those nations Of Europe
which are prepared to help themselves
toward the reestabAshment Of their
credit
Last year at the bankers con-
ference, held at Paris, stated that 1t
was my opinion that II the security to
be given was clearly good and the in
vestors of other leading nations would
cooperate to the extent that they felt
themselves able to do, believed that
the American market would participate
in an important extent in the rehabill-
tation in the European financial situa-
ton. At that time these conditions
could not be satisfied. Now, however,
for the first time, loan Is offered
which fulfills both conditions.
',rhe amount, while large, is not
excessive, and every present indica-
tion justifies my confidence that we
shall find the American investing
public in accord with us in our be-
lief that the new Austrian bonds are
good investment and that the ex-
tension of this credit is an impor-
tant step on the road to peace and
normal conditions"

are believed to have lost their lives AZ
result Of floods in Kansas recently.
Virtually every stream in the state
was out Of its banks. Many cities
over the state reported that the losses

Of dollars. Two casualties were. re-
ported at Arkansas City, which suf-
fered the worst flood in its history.
The body of one unknown youth was

States a new set Of propositions, ask
ing that another reparations confer
ence be called which, after consider
ing the estimate of Its resources which
Germany would profrer. should fix the
total sum to be paid. Cuno promised
Germany would abide by the decision
rendered. In his note the chancellor
suggested that Germany could pay an

gold marks and named these guaran-
tees to be placed back Of such an

yearly.
Cuuo's note made no mention Of the
Ruhr or passive resistance and said
nothing of politics, International guar
antees or a moratorium.
To this note Frances reply, at this
writing unofficial. is that the new Ger
man proposals will not be even ex-
amined by France until passive resist
ance In the occupied regions has
ceased, and that the Ruhr will not be
evacuated until Germany pays the
reparations. Belgium's adherence to
this was obtained by Premier Poincare
in a lively conference In Brussels, but
Premier Theunis and Foreign Minister
Jaspar induced Polncare to try hard
to have a combined and Identical re-
ply to Cuno made by the allies. Poin
care also outlined new coercive meas
ures to be applied in the Ruhr and the
Rhineland, and Belgium agreed te
these with the understanding that shs
should send no more troops. These
measures include the establishment Of

cupied nreas from the rest of Germany
the wholesale expulsions Of persons re
fusing to work or interfering with this

the creation of new money, the confis
