sonie in a closet. of his boarding
house at the Greenwood Mill village.
It is shown (hat laymnond who is

hidden, for lie used a ladder to get in

BUSY ON WAR PLANS
British Commission Gets In Uninter
rupted Work With Series of Confer.
ences. Balfour Sends In Report.
.Washington, April 27.-The British
war commission today entered upon
its first day of uninterrupted work
with a wide series of conferences
touching every phase of .American
participation in the war. 1i'xperts in
all lines set out in earnest on the va
rious paths prescribed by Foreignk
Secretary Balfour as a result of his
preliminary conferences with Ameri
can ollicials to learn how most effec
tively the British commission could
be oi service.
Mr. Halfour himself passed a stren
uous day. The morning he devoted to
writing his first report to Eagland,
Speaking enthusiastically of his warm
reception here and of the eagerness
of the American government, to coop
erate in every way to defeat the coil
mon enemy. The report, which it IS
stated, will be made public later in
line with 'Ir. Balfour's desire to take
not Only the two governments, but the
two peoples fully into his confidence,
was said to contain "very Joyous
news for the British people."
Attorney General Gregory called on
Mr. Balfour in the afternoon and is
understood to have discussed with him
the nany kinds of legislation needed
to protect public safety in war' time
and to prevent aid and comfort reach
ing the enemy.
M. Viviani, head of the Frenclh comii
mission, also called on (Mr. Balfour to
more closely coordinate the work of
the two commissions. Mi. Viviani told
Mr. 'lalfour of the French commxis
sion's decision to stay somewhat long
er than originally planned and to
change the purpose of their visit
largely from mere ceremonial to one
of service and advice.
Charles M. Schwab, president of flte
Bethllehem Steel Company, paid his re
spects to Mr. Balfour, after a visit to
the French commission. -ills visit, to
gether with the trip to .New York to
day of Lord Cunliffe, governor of the
lBank of England, gave rise to much
discussion about the changed status
of this country from a neutral nation
makig loans and sales through private
individuals o na profit basis, to an
Allied nation making loans direct
through the government.

\Vashington, April 27.-President
Wilson has apprloved reqluests fr'om
Frane and -Italy fox' immediate finani
eial aid and from $200,000,000 to $300,
000,000 wvill be loaned thema by thxe
United States within the next few
days,
In the case of Italy arr'angemecnts
already have been uuade fox' the traans
fem' of the amoney and the loanx amay be
annxoixncedl tomnora'ow. Whiile thle
amouoxnt has not ben divulged i is uan
dlerstoodl to be between $50,000,000 and
$100,000,000.'
Firance will r'eceive between $150,
000,000 and $200,000,000. parobably thle
laarger amount. Before the end of next
weekc the loan shiould be in Ambassa
dor's .Jusserand's hands.
WVithx the completion of those trans
actions the total of the government's
loans to the Allies with appa'oximate
$500,000,000. Therxe is ever'y indhica
tion that at least $500,000,000 more
will be loaned the Allies befor'e the
end of the fiscal year, JTune 30, andi
the amount may ruxn to $1,000,000,000
more, bringing the gxrand total of
Amer'iea's loans durxing the first three
months of war up to $1,500,000,000.
The administrationi has definItely dhe
eIled to continue its loans to lEntenxte
governments pendling the iasuxe of
bonds(1, the money being r'alsed by the
issuance of treasxary certificates of lxn
deabtedlness.
Revised estimates of IEntente needs
indicate that the amount they will
require prior to Juxne 30-the dlate
tentatively sot for theo receipt of pro
ceedls for the first bond issue-will be0
nearer $1,500,000,000 than the $i,000,
000,000 noiginally estmae~. T moot
these requirements certificates of In
debtedness may be issued by the
Treasury Department in blocks of
$250,000,000 every two weeks instead
of every three weeks. The program as
to this and other details, however, is
still in a tentative stage.
Seven nations have applied direct
ly for loans or indicated that they
would appreciate them-Great Britain,
France, Italy, 'Russia, Belgium, Cuba,
and to the surprise of many adminis
tration oflicials, Haiti. In addition, It
Is reported that Brazil, contemplating
war with Germany, has sounded in
formally the sentiment of ofilcials with
a view to determining if her appli
cation for a loan would be favorably
received in case of war.
Russia's needs probably will be the
next taken up by the administration
with a view to advancing such flnan
cial aid as may be immediately imper
ative. The financial programi with re
sipect to Russia, however, may remain
in tentative forn until the American
commission soon to go abroad shall
have made at least a preliminary re
port as to her requirements.
In the case of Italy the government
is preparing to go further than to lend
money. Italy needs both food and
coal urgently and, just as urgently,
needs ships) to transport them across
the Atlantic. Ofqclals in extending
credits to Italy to purchase her imme.
diate requirernents here also are hope
ful of finding means to get sutilclent
ships to supply her wost pressing
wants.
