LOAN TO BEAR
5 PER CENT.
To Be Floated by the Great
est of Syndi
cates AMERICAN DOLLARS
FOR 'INTEREST
Allies May Get Aid of Pro
German Bankers in
. New York
New York, Sept. 16. Further details
of the loan bv which the Anglo-French
mission and the American financial in
terests will endeavor to stabilize foreign
exchange became known in the Wall
street district " Tuesday; No one who
was in a position to have definite infor
mation of the plans had heard that any
thing less than $1,000,0(10,000 would suf
fice. The credit is to be established by
the issuance of joint government bonds
of England and France drawing 5 per
cent interest, the bonds being a first hen
on the two countries named. Informa
tion was not as definite concerning the
maturity of the bonds, and that will be
one of the matters settled by discussion.
From one source it was learned that
some favor 10-year bonds and others fa
vor bonds which shall run from five to
10 years, the former being the minimum,
and" the bonds to mature serially.
One thing has been definitely agTeed
upon, and that is the bonds, principal
and interest are to be paid in American
dollars, free from the income taxes of
both countries. ..The interest will be
paid in New York City and the principal
also as it becomes due. The bond will
be listed on the New York stock ex
change and will be dealt in as are other
bonds. That is one of the arguments
used by those w ho favor the longer term
for the bonds it would afford more op
portunity for trading.
It was pointed out Tuesday that this
is the first time in history that Eng
land has ever been willing to pay a debt
in the coin of another nation. Her gold
sovereign has been the standard of the
world for centuries. The American dol
lar for the first time supersedes and for
that purpose i made tbe world's stand
ard coin.
The bonds are to reach the American
public through the most powerful finan
cial syndicate ever organized. This syn
dicate will consist, not of any single
group of bankers, nor any single finan
cial interest, but will be made up prac
tically of every big banking institution
in the United States.

BIG PARADE
OF LIVE STOCK
Interested 20,000 People at
.Vermont State Fair
Grounds
THREE RACES WERE
HOTLY CONTESTED
E A. Sunderlin Drove Fast
est Heat with Susie M.
in 2:13i4
Wtilte River Junction, Sept. 16.
Yesterday was a fair day of the fairest
kind. With clear skies and a mid-summer
temperature the second day . of the
Vermont state fair was ideal for pleas
ure seeking, and the 20,000 people who
passed the gates enjoyed every minute
of the day. The only disappointing fea
ture was the failure to see the flights
of the aeroplane which had been adver
tised to introduce a spectacle of Euro
Dean warfare, but which did not take
place owing to the. accident that hap
pened the day before. While every ef
fort was made by Sec. Davis to secure
another machine, he was unable to lo
cate one that could get here before the
close of the week.
Both automobile parks were crowded
with cars to day, many coming from
Montpelier and Rutland, bringing mera
hers of their boards of trade. The judg
ing of stock in all departments continued
throughout tbe day. Jn tne aiternoon
before crowded grandstands the parade
of horses and cattle took place. It was
one of the most satisfying exhibitions
of the fair.
The cadets from Norwich university
irave an exhibition of military maneu
vers on horseback, hurdle jumping and
fanov and track ridinsr.
E. A. Sunderlin of Lebanon, K. H.,
the well-known trotting horse breeder
and driver, was quite severely bitten by
a horse at the trotting horse stables
Tuesday, but was able to drive in two
horses yesterday.
At the public service building 43 in
fants were cared for in the nursery de
partment. Among them was one less
than one month old. In the emergency
hospital there were nearly 50 cases
treated, mostly heat prostrations, none
of which were serious.
Last night moving pictures were shown
in the public service building under the
direction of the state board of health.
The three races were botly contested.
There were 10 starters in the 2:2 pace,
the race going four heats. Lady S.,
driven in the first heat by Renehan and
in the three successive heats by Tierce,
won the race. Tbe summary i

TENSION
IS RELAXED
Hopes for an Early Adjust
ment of Arabic Case Are
Felt in Washington
DISCUSSION ON
IN BOTH CAPITALS
America Is Still Waiting for
a Disavowal by Ger
many Washington, Sept. 16. The . tension
that has arisen over the Arabio incident
between Germany and the United States
apparently was relaxed yesterday and
hopes for an early and friendly adjust
uientwere renewed in German and gov
ernment quarters. The fact that in
formal discussions were proceeding, both
in Berlin and Washington, was empha
sized. There were indications, however,
that if Germany should decline to meet
the demand for a disavowal, the United
nt. ,.,-r,,,!,l caver rlinlomatic relations.
Friendliness and candor are understood
to have characterized the conversation
Maxn Mr. Ijnisinir and Ambassador
Bernstorff. The latter has been given
.. J. I..
an opportunity to communicate iremj
-iti liia crni.-rnment. so that it may be
clearly understood in Berlin why offi
cials here are convinced that the torpe
doing of the Arabic could not have been
a mistake, justified or unjustified. Jn
view of the evidence, tne iniwa ,-iaie
uinii riinavowal of the act and this
was made clear to Count Von Bernstorff.
Arbitration cannot be an issue lor con:
uiiforiitinn unt il the attitude of the Ger
man government toward the act itself is
placed on record. Later the American
government may take under considera
tion a proposal to arbitrate, not tne
nrincinle. but what indemnity should be
paid for lives lost.
The evidence which nag been su omit
ted by the United States is regarded
here as proving conclusively that until
she submerged to launch the torpedo
against the Arabic, the German subma
rine was concealed behind the sinking
British steamer Dunsley and could not
have been seen by the captain of the
Arabic. Furthermore, it is shown that
the Arabic was struck in such a way
that the submarine must have been at
right angles from her when the torpedo
was fired, instead of in a position to
make ramming by the liner a possibil
ity. Count Von Bernstorff prepared yester
day to leave Washington for the sum
mer embassy at Cedarhurst. L. I., to
await further word from the German
foreign office. It was considered unlike
ly that the ambassador would resume
ilia discussions with Sec. Lansing pend
ing the receipt of advices from Berlin,
which probably will require 10 days or
more.
IN DOUBT ON HESPERIAN.
No Conclusive Evidence Yet in Washing-
ton.
Washington, Sept. 16. State depart
ment officials, commenting yesterday on
the disclaimer of the Berlin gdvernment
that the Canadian liner Hesperian was
torpedoed, said that insufficient evidence
had been received upon which to base
representations to Germany at this time.
From the faots at hand, it was said, no
opinion could lie formed as to whether
the Hesperian was torpedoed or struck
a mine. Official reports have made no
reference to statements of passengers
on the liner that large pieces of metal
were found on the decks of the vessel
which might furninh evidences to deter
mine whether the ship was the victim
of a mine or a torpedo. If it should be
determined that the Hesperian struck a
mine, officials say there would be no
means of fixing responsibility for plac
ing the mine.

SWINGS 5,000 FEET
IN THE AIR WHILE
MENDING 'PLANE
Aviator Hung On with One Hand!
While Repairing
Wires.
London, Sept. 16. The thrilling story
of an Australian air pilot who clung by
one hand to the framework of a dis
abled aeroplane 5,000 feet over tho en
emy's lines while executing repairs with
the other was told here yesterday by an
efficer observer on leave of absence from
northern France.
"We had crossed the German lines
and their guns were booming at us
from way down below when Cornstock
(the pilot) noticed that our left wing
was tilting down and not responding to
the controls," said the officer. "He
swung out of the seat to the right side
but the plane continued to tilt, and it
looked as if we wnre going over sure.
"Cornstock acted quickly. He let him
self down with nothing but thousands
feet beneath him, holding tight with
his right hand and fumbling with the
control wires where they were jammed
under the machine. The strain on his
right arm must have been terrific. Sec
onds seemed hours as he swayed there,
ins legs dangling in space while the ma
chine swung over air bumps. As a
matter of fact it was all done in an
instant and he was back in his seat cool
as ever.

AN ANCIENT SEA.
Spread Over Western and Central Parts
of North America.
Afan-r million Years aco. lonir before
the hirth of the Rockv mountains, a
liirir inlan.t aca snread over the western
and central parts of North America. In
geologic language tne invasion oi mis
sea occurred in Mississippi time a pe
iod just preceding the one in which the
bituminous and anthracite coal beds that
extend over portions of central and east
cm Xorth America were formed. This
sea covered much of the present site of
the Rocky mountsin area, the central
plains, and at times a part of the Great
I'luina in the I n ited States. At differ
ent times it opened into the Arctic ocean
on the north, the raeme on tne soum,
and probably the Gulf of Mexico on the
southeast.
This incursion of salt water was not
the first or the last to Invade the Amer
ican Mwitinent. At each incursion mud
dy, sandy, or limy deposits mixed with
sea shells and other animal remains were
lii id down along the beach and upon the
rt,.nr stramre as it may seem, most
of these roks formed ages ago now
stand above sea level and constitute
plains, plateaus, and even mountains.
Animal life was very abundant in this
Mississippi sea. Nearly if not at all the
laaaca tit animals now livine were pres
ent. Sharks and fishes, though different
in appesrance from the present forms,
sported along the snore or swsra me
deep. Sea lilies or crinoids, animals
Imilt. on the esrne renersl plan as the
starfish but having a calcareous cup with
sn attached stem, decorate ine eea
floor. Sea shells belonging to the same
ilsss ss the oyrters and snails were
there. The lamp sheila, or more tech

h2 sticks to Sickle plug: and slices off each pipeful as he
needs it
Real tobacco flavor depends upon the leaf be'n
preserved in its natural state, possible only by pressing:
the leaves into plug form and keeping it in by covering: it
with a natural leaf wrapper. The natural flavor and
strength of tobacco escape when cut or granulated.
Take a Plug-of Sickle that is even thoroughly dried out
so that when you whittle it off it crumbles into dust but it
will bum and smoke smooth and cool as it has all of
it oricinal tobacco flavor preserved, unevaporated in
Hug Form.
Whittling a pipeful fa little trouble, amply repaid
in both quality and quantity. Try this experiment end
judge for yourself,
