British Paper Says
Loan Will Damage
Credit of Empire
LONDON, Sept . Asserting that
American bankers naturally prefer a
loan with some 110,000,000 profit to tha Im
portation of gold which brings no profits,
the Manchester Guardian declares edi
torially: "There la no reason, however, why tha
government should Indulge In what has
every appearance of being a blunder as
costly politically as financially."
Insisting that the loan would be Invalid
unless approved by Parliament, the Ouar
dlan adds:
"Seldom has a financial transaction
been Imposed upon the British people
which cried out so loud for justification.
It may be that Mr. Morgan and his as
sociates have done the allies a good ser
vice and earned a reward, but If so, It
would be cheaper to present them with
their 2,000,000 and forego a loan so dam
aging to our credit."

"tn the Champagne district we hare
secured a footing at several points In
the trenches of the Oerman second line
of defense to the west of Butte De Te
nure and to the weat ot the Navaiin
Farm. At this latter point certain de
tachments of our troops made their way
through and resolutely advanced beyond
the Oerman lines, but It was impossible
for them to maintain this advance be
cause of a curtain of fire maintained by
the Oerman artillery, as well aa a very
violent flanking rifle fire. Our men,
however, hold firmly the points con
quered by them on the second line of the
enemy
"To the south of Rlpont we have en
larged snd completed our conquest of
the first line Oerman positions by taking
possession of a portion of tha Important
supporting works known locally aa the

menting on the British victory la north
ern France says:
"We must not underestimate the brav
ery of this adversary. In the Champagne
also our losses unhappily have been very
heavy, notably In prisoners. In trench
warfare captures are unavoidable when

whether the French figures are exact,

It would be equally wrong for Uermana
