cations to Relieve Needy

Loan Bank headquarters today directed
TO home financing institutions in
various sections with q stipulation that
the funds must be placed in circulation
Immediately among small home owners

banks of the Federal system were ad-
vised to speed up applications for direct
loans to small home owners and to re-
port Immediately to the board the num-
Der Of direct loans made at the close Of
business today.
Policy Stressed.
It was said at headquarters that the
board is stressing this policy in making
loans to member institutions In order to
insure productive use of the funds
which the new credit agency will sup
ply. The board chose this to prevent
any tendency on the part Of member
borrowers to discount their mortgages
solely to obtain cash and maintain .
1qulo position, IL was Salo.
Board members in adopting this pol
icy were said to have taken the posi-
ton that the home bank act contem-
plates assistance for the individual
home owners as well as for the lending
institutions
The announcement by the board that
II had approved loans amounting to
$4,000 900 followed a statement issued
by Chairman Franklin w. Fort that
total stock subscriptions at the close Of
business November %, amounted to
SlI, 795,081 by institutions eligible for
membership. This goes toward the
capitalization Of the regional banks Of
l34,000,0 900. The balance Of the CAPT.
tal will be subscribed by the Treasury.
Fort said the board will take money
from the Treasury at per cent inter
est ~ needed for making loans. When
the capitalization Is exhausted the
banks viii issue their own securities for
sale to the public.

condition. Fort said the condition
subscriptions were from institutions
eligible to membership under the act,
but In States where enabling legislation
must be enacted before their stock sub
scr1ptions become effective.
In the fourth district of the system,
which takes in the District of Column
bia, only four States and the District
were permitted by State laws to par
ticipate in the stock subscription drive,
resulting in only $7Sl,e33 being sub
scribed towards o total capitalization Of
$40 ZOO, 900 set by the board.
Besides . cut Of 10 eligible institu-
lions IN the District subscribing ap-

pay on employees at the county recrea-

Owen Roberts, Umpire, Gives
Decision in Wartime
Terminal Explosion.

sion. today handed down a decision
favorable to Germany in the famous
Black Tom and Kingsland cases.
The decision is the second and final
one favorable to Germany In the cases
which were reopened at the request OF
the American agents, to permit the SUBJ
mission Of new evidence.
The umpire was called In after the
American commissioner, Chandler An
derson, disagreed with the German
commissioner, wilhelm Kiesselbach.
The previous decision favorable to
Germany was unanimous by the two
commissioners and the umpire.
The cases involved the destruction
Of the Lehigh Valley Railroads Black
Tom Terminal, in New Jersey, and the
Kingsland, N. j., munitions plant of the
Canadian Car Il Foundry Co., just be-
fore the United States entered the
World War.
The United States has sought to
prove German agents responsible for
both fires.
S4o.000,o00 Involved
The combined Black Tom and Kings
land claims. including corollary under
writers claims, aggregated approxi-
mately 100000.
At the reopening Of the case, the
United States placed much dependence
upon Q series Of secret spy messages
and letters in an effort to prove Ger
man completely.
with regard to the Kinssland case. ;
Roberts said, 'T am not able to con-
cfude that the fire was of incendiary
origin and think the proofs have gone
very far toward the sort Of industrial
accident claimed by the German agent
It leaves me unable to conclude that the
IRE was the purposeful act Of "Theo-
dore Womiak."
The United States had introduced
evidence seeking to show that Wozniak
at whose bench the Kingsland fire
started, was o German agent.
CsIh Isttsrs Fraud.
Prom the new evidence" Roberts
continued, II Am not able to conclude
that Wozniak was German agent;
am able to definitely conclude that
the Womiak letters were fraudulent,
prepared recently and not authentic,
and that the German messages intro
duced in evidence do not advance the
American case"
The case Is the last to come before
the commission. 1t will now conclude
its 10 years Of litigation and turn its
records over to the two governments
Private claims totaling $186, 600, 900
have been awarded to American Cit
liens against Germany by the commits
sion. OF this sum about 1892 900, 900
already has been paid. Shipping Board
and other claims Of the United States
Government totaling some SIS, 600, 900
have been awarded in favor OF the
United States, but these will not be
hquidated until after the private
claims are paid In full.

FORD TO QUIT HOSPITAL
Next Tuesday Fixed by Physicians
to Mark Recovery.

~ main AcSo"eEy.
DETROIT, December 3 (P).-Henry
Ford's physicians have set next Tues
day for his release from the hospital
where he underwent an operation last
Saturday for strangulated femoral her
MIA and a gangrenous appendix.
The remarkable short convalescence,
his physicians have said. is due to the
sturdiness Of the 69-year -old automo-
bile manufacturer, who is coming
through his first serious illness with
flying colors.
The usual tediousness Of sick-room
life has been minimized by the fact that
the patient has been permitted to sit

operation.
