Washington, August 16.-The Unit
Id States guvcrnment today announced
llsoir as opposed to tho Moating of
loans in this country for the ebencflt
of any belligerent European power.
Switzerland, a neutral power, inquired
if Bbc might float a loan in the United

J. P. Morgan and Company, ap
proached by private bankers who
wished to know whether if a loan
Humid be desired by the French gov
ernment lt could be floated in the
United States announced that it Would
take no action the state department
migh disapprove.
The following announcement of
policy was Issut-d hy Secretary Bryan
today at the direction of President
Wilson:
"Inquiry having been made as to
the attitude of this government In
case American bankers are asked to
make loans to foreign governments
during the war in Europe, thc follow
ing announcement is made:
"There IB no reason why loans
should not bo made to thc govern
ments of neutral nations, but In the
judgment of this nation loans by
bankers to any foreign nations which
ls at war IB inconsistent with tho true
spirit of neutrality."
Thia principle repreBonts an ad
vanced attitude on tho part of tho
nited StateB on a much mooted ques
tion. Hitherto loans have been float
ed In the United States as well as oth
er neutral countries for thc benefit of
tho belligerents.

Munish, August 15.-A civil court I
proceeding, growing Indirectly out of
a trial by court martial lia? directed
attention to an extraordinary case
showing once more the relations ex
isting between military persons and ,
civilians. Thc case in question ls
some months old, but it escaped no
tice nt thc time lt occurred. Thc de
fendant beforo the court martial was
a Lieutenant Snider, of the garrison

out on trial were these:
Lieutenant Seldcr's man servant
had a quarrel with the domestic ser
vant of thc landlord of tho house in
which the lieutenant and his wife
had an apartment, In tho course of
which the maid declared that "the
lieutenants are a dirty peck who don't
clean up tholr mess. They are a
brood." The lieutenant's wife scut for')
her husband. "This female says we
aro a brood," she jald, pointing to the
maid. The lieutenant thereupon
struck the girl twice with his sabre.
"You aro acting Uko a washerwo
man to mix up in such a quarrel,"
said tho wife of thc landlord, who had
seen tho occurrence. "You ought to
bs ashamed as an officer to strike a
woman with your sword."
Tho lieutenant Btruck the woman in
tho faco with his hand, she raised a
broom against him and ho attacked
hor with his sword, cutting both her '
hands.

ty and sentenced him to 45 days im
prisonment in a fortress. The super- .
tor military court at Nurcmburg, to

quitted him on thc ground that he had
acted In self defense. Actions for in- I
ault against the two women resulted
in a Ano of $12 for thc wife of thc
landlord and $2.50 for thc maid. Their
appeals were dismissed.
