PAY LOAN ASKED
. CHICAGO

CHICAGO. Feb. 0.N.S0.-
In an emergency effort to keep
the fire, police and health de,
partments in operation, the city
government today is framing a
request to be made of the SilaS
H. Strawn citizens committee for
a loan of $6,000,OO0.
The request will be made to-
morrow after the city council
meets, according to Alderman
John S. Clark, chairman OF the
city council finance committee.
The $6,000,00O sum, if granted,
will be only enough to pay sal
aries, both overdue and current,
until February Is. For the rest
of February. an additional $4,000.
900 will be required and from
that time on until the reasseSs-
ment is completed and 1928 tax
bills completed, $4,000,000 a
month will be required.
Officials are at loss to know
where these funds will come from.
These figures do not take into
consideration the millions of dol
lars in unpaid bills that have
been piling up. Many business
houses and merchants who have
sold the city goods are in bad
straits, according to Clark.

BANKERS STUDY
D. G., BUSINESS
SITUATION

Serious study of local business
conditions is being made UP by
Washington bankers, 1t was
learned from authoritative sources
today. The survey will be into
the demand for the products OF
many firms, the trend Of real
estate and various other CONNER
cial interests.
At meeting recently the
bankers association advised build
ers to make a close study Of con
ditions before undertaking large
projects.
The general condition Of Wash
ington business Is good, although
in some sections trade is rather
slack.
The value of exports of the
United States for 1929 reached
the highest level of any year
except 1915 to 1920 when infla-
ton ruled prices, according to
the Department Of Commerce for
eign trade review just issued.
Manufactured goods led the
exports and accounted for the
gains, the report indicated. It
was also pointed out the gain
occurred mostly in the first four
months Of last year and then
returned to regular levels.
Exports of agricultural prod
ucts were considerably lower than
the previous year, it was stated.
A drop of IL per cent was shown
in export of raw products, the
larger part of this being attrib-
utable to the smaller lots Of cot.
ton exported and the lower prices
received.
Imports were high 20, it was
shown. According to TIE depart
mental report the total value OF
imports was only slightly less
than the peak year of 1925 and
was over 712 per cent greater
than 1928. It was pointed out
that price reductions had taken
their toll on imports and had
greatly affected the market value
of the goods.
The import trade rise, accord
ing to the report, was led by the
raw material list and the semi
finished products. Another leader
was foodstuff goods which showed
considerable gain,

Bird Clicked by Ring

While hiking over the Burgoyne
trail, Peter Sage of Lee, Mass, says
the Boston Globe, came across a
young crow in the path which made
several efforts to fly without sue
cess and appeared exhausted Sage
took it home, but it died in two days.
Examination revealed a gold ring
around its neck, which had choked
it to death. The ring was complete
ly covered by the feathers. After It
had been removed and cleaned the
lettering m. G. II. to L. S. W." was
found inside. 1t is supposed the
mother bird picked up the ring after
it had been lost and when the older
bird attempted to feed its young the
ring slipped. over the head, eventual.
ly causing death by starvation.

"t1nis la suerre. Eleven o'clock"
with this knowledge in mind, the
war went on In a final burst of reck-
less abandon. Everyone wanted to
nave hand in 1t before it ended. Ii
is told how at one point where a
Yankee outfit was having q brisk bat
tie on the east of the Meuse a man
stationed at one battery stood with a
handkerchief in his uplifted hand, a
watch In the other. 1t wanted one
minute of eleven o'clock. In front of
him were the guns of the battery, four
OF them. Attached to each lanyard
was long rope, manned by gunners,
cooks, signalmen, soldiers, messen-
gers, stragglers, everybody. At eleven
o'clock the handkerchief fell, the men
pulled and the battery fred its last
shot. And so 1t was, at hundreds,
thousands Of places along the line.

fell upon the land. 1t was as if the
world had suddenly died. Men looked

FOR moment. Then
Every man In the A. E. F. threw

yelled. At that moment every one was
slightly befuddled. slightly mad. Then
another amazing thing happened.
The battered, torn landscape which
a minute before had been as bare as

with men. They crawled up out of

looked about them a good deal sur
