DAVISON ADDS 10
HIS REPUTATION BY
BIG FOBN LOAN
Remarkably Young Man to
Have Handled Affairs of
Such Magnitude
IS ABLE TO KEEP
, HIS OWN COUNSEL
John Sherman Attributed Much of His
Own Success to His Abiljty to
Keep Secrets Entrusted
to Him
By HOI.T.AND
New York, October 12.—(Special.1)—In
the great and far reaching movement of
present day events there stand out sev
eral persons who are hereafter Lo be
conspicuously associated with toes: world
moving affairs. One v.lio is now at
tracting to himself, not consciously, much
attention and who is the subject of great
and approving comment is Henry P.
Davison of J. P. Morgan & Co. For it
Is commonly understood that Mr. Mor
gan and Mr. Davidson have been the
leaders in the preparatory steps which
have at last led to the consummation
of the greatest external loan ever made
by any nation, or any two, also much
the largest piece of international financ
ing, in which the United States has
been one of the parties.
It has been with utmost caution that
Mr. Davison has participated in these
negotiations, some of which undoubtedly
began, informally at least, at the time
©f Mr. Davison’s visit to London last
winter. Caution, prudence and a reason
able taciturnity were entailed if the ne
gotiations were to be brought to a suc
cessful conclusion. Theee qualities had
distinguished our greatest secretaries of
the treasury when momentous national
financing was under way. The now tra
ditional achievements of Governor Chase,
when Secretary of the Treasury under
President Lincoln, were at the time they
were progressing carefully veiled by the
Secretary. So also John Sherman, when
Secretary of the Treasury In the admin
istration of President Hayes, having mo
mentous financing to occupy him, includ
ing the resumption of specie payments,
was spoken of as the most taciturn and
•ecretive of men. After his triumph, Mr.
Sherman confessed that an attitude of
that kind toward the public was essen
tial if he were to gain success.
No one who was not authorized to have
the Information ever gained from Mr.
Davison, either by hint, by expression
of his countenance or by anything he did
or said, the slightest idea of the char
acter of the stupendous undertaking with
which he was associated.
It has sometimes been said since that
negotiations was successfully ended that
there must have been moments when it
was in progress when Mr. Davison called
to mind an earlier experience of his own
in international financing upon a large
scale. The amount involved at that time
was three-fifths of the sum upon which
the representatives of England and
France arrt the American bankers had
agreed should be the loan. China had
need, as its leaders thought, of $300,000,
000. But this loan was to be participated
In by six nations. The United States
was one of these. Mr. Davison was
Chosen as a chairman of the conference
which was held in Paris. It was an
extraordinary honor to pay so young a
man as he was, as It would have been
extraordinary to name any American for
this important responsibility. It was
due to Mr. Davidson’s great skill in fi
nancing diplomacy and equally to his
great tact, that the conference was suc
cessful, especially in the agreement that
the open door was to be maintained in
China and that there should be no at
tempt to take from China any part of its
territory.
The fact that the United States, later,
was compelled to withdraw from that
association does not reflect at all upon
Mr. Davison. A few moments’ conver
sation with the Secretary of State, W. J.
Bryan, was sufficient to lead Mr. Davi
son to say that as the state department
did not approve of the participation of
the United States in this loan—although
that deparement in the administration
preceding not only approved such par
ticipation, but strongly advised it—the*
American bankers would withdraw from
participation in it. Later, when one of
the nations which is to participate in
the loan now about to be made sought
to place a ’oan in the United States the
■ame influence which had compelled Mr. I

a possible 200. The previous best rec

First Sergt. P. S. Schofield, Fifth In

concluded today.
The first stage of the marine corps
rifle match was shot yesterday at 600
yards. Today the range was 1000
yards, each competitor firing 20 shots
with any make of rifle, as on yester
day. Sergt. F. H. Kean, a member of
Schofields company, took third place
in this match with 194. Sergt. R. W.
Hazenbaker, First regiment. Nationul
Guard of Ohio, who led at the end of
the 600-yard stage scored only 85
points today and finished in fifty-sec

In this match today.
The chief event scheduled for to
morrow Is the President’s match for
the individual military championship
of the United States. The distances are
200, 300, 600 and 1000 yards. Ten shots
are to be fired at each range, rapid
fire. 10 shots at 600 yards and 15 shots
at 1000 yards slow' fire. First prize
Includes an autograph letter from the
President of the United States. The
rapid fire match will also be shot to
morrow'.
Davison to announce that the American
bankers would withdraw’ from participa
tion in the Chinese loan compelled the
house of which Mr. Davison is a mem
ber to say to the representatives of that
nation—France—that it could not under
take the loan which was requested.
Now, the United States, or. what is
the same thing, the great body of Ameri
can bankers and a large number of
Americans of great wealth as well as c.
good many whose possessions are small,
reVitlvely speaking, have co-operated in
underwriting the greatest loan of the kind
| ever made, and Washington encour
aged it.
The time may come when there will
be general knowledge of the infinity of
detail as well as good understanding of
the attitude the American people would
be likely to take tow’ard the loan. There
never can be thorough knowledge of the
vast labor which the preparation for it
entai’-ed or the manner in which every
possible factor of the transaction was
considered and scrutinized with almost
microscopic accuracy in order that it
might be discerned w'hether any element
of weakness could be found.
The association of American leaders in
banking life has been of invaluable as
sistance. Nevertheless, no small amount,
of tact was necessary In order to bring
American bankers as a whole into cor
dial co-operation with this understand
ing. That was due to the fact that it
wfas the first undertaking of the kind
in which the United States ever had any
share, as it was the first International
financing of the kind on Record. Now',
that the sagacity and the w'onderful tact
which have characterized the Vaders
have resulted in the consummation of
this loan, the bankers of the United
States will be well prepared in case any
later work of international financing of
this kind is permitted to the American
bankers. One of the most powerful of
the healthful influences which have se
cured this cordial co-operataion was the
complete absence of any attitude of su
periority of command and leadership of
Pfdf-consolous power, as well as the un
derstanding that all w'ere to be treated
with absolute equality and that no one
was to make undue profits or to have
exceptional opportunities through the
placing of this loan. These are some of
the comments which have been heard in
the financial district and have been asso
ciated with the part Mr. Morgan and
Mr. Davison have had In this transac
tion.
