NO BONDS TAKEN
FOR THE MONEY
LOANED ALLIES
Congressman Sloan Calls At
tention to Fact That the
Law Has Not Been
Complied With.
By EDGAR C. SNYDER.
Washington,, Nov. 2. When Con
gressman Sloan called attention of
the hotise during the debate on the
tast bond bill, to the fact that $7,
000,000,000 had been loaned to the
different allied natrons, and not a
single dollar in bonds had been
taken from any one of them, as pre
scribed by law, a look of inquiry
s'.iowed itself on the faces of the
members, but littje further atten
tion was then given. Congressmen
did not seem to remember, or grasp
the real significance of the delay.
Some months later when the last
. revenue bill was being considered,
Mr. Sloan in a speech called atten
tion to the fact that the secretary
of the treasury had not yet taken
a dollar in bonds from any nation
for the money loaned but had mere
ly taken "demand memoranda."
It will be recalled that thelaw
provided bonds of the same tenor
and effect as to interest, matarity,
etc., should be taken as were being
issued to American citizens when
they loaned their money to tbe gov
ernment. The purposes in this requirement
were, first )hat no bond should be
taken that did not have the legisla
tive authority of the borrowing
country expressed and evidenced
upon it. Second, the interest
should be coming to meet the
interest of our own obligations, and,
"third, tliat-at the time, 10. 20 or 30
years from now, when our boys had
returned from the war and others
wou'd be called upon to pay on our
bonds, there would be a substan
tial fund in the treasury from which
to do it.
No Explanation Given.
No satisfactory explanation was
given why bonds were not taken.
More than a year has elapsed since
th; loans began to be made. It was
thought best that little be said until
after the fourth bond drive was over.
Meanwhile interest was becoming
manifest in different quaiters.
May Cancel Debts.
' It may be recalled that an tt
governor of Virginia, now a ment
ber of the hou::e, had suggested can
celling the debt to France. A reso
lution had been introduced by a
western senator toorgive the debts.
The day after the bond drive was
over a Wall street lawyer, who fig
ures in international arrn"rs v.-s rc-
; ported as setting a Y. M. Q. A. au-
' diencc wild over the suKea'uon t!:at
forgive these cleats. Eastern ?.nd
southern pa.-crs have begun to dis
cuss the question.
Many c : the ... .are to take
legal securities with the debt-can-
icv.tinsr propoganda. A .at m ny
people believe the legal evidence
of these bonds belong to our chil
dren ana we, their guardians should
preserve and defend rather than sac
rifice it. '
The magnitude of this question
nd its possibilities may be com
prcTi.nded when it is said that the
amount of the?e loans, now $7-
" ,500,000,000 is 60 per cent more
than all the other assets in
cluding gold, currency and trust se
curities in the United States treasury-
.
fnm nf Preiint Letter.
- - - -
Three hundred thousand-copies of
the president's letter, calling on the
electors jn the several states to elect
a democratic congress, are being
sent out free under the frank of
Congressman Scott Ferris, chairman
.of the democratic national congres
sional committee. This, while an in-
. teresting fact in itself, is doubly so
from the precarious and desperate
footing it has as a public and frank
able document.
On the twenty-fifthe day of Oc
tober one T. J. Heflin of Alabama,
who has several times been rebuked
by the house for abuse of "record
privileges," caused this letter to be
pubnshed in the Congressional
Record. His right was challenged
by Congressman Gillett of Massa
chusetts, not because the document
was what it is but that its insertion
was surreptitious and against the
' rules govern' matter to be in
serted in the Record.
Moved to Strike Out Letter.
Gillet moved to strike it out and
the house was ready to carry the
- motion when Heflin in desperation
- raised the question of "no quorum."
Democracy's majority .was scattered
to the four corners of 'he United
States. A $6,500,000,000 appropria
tion bill for suppcrt of the
army and navy awaited action. The
fact of "no quorum" Listed upon
meant its failure of passage.
Here was a dilema Heflin, the
president's acknowledged spokes
man, defending a political point of
vantage obtained by subterfuge.
while the boys in France and on tfce
seas interest counted not an iota by
those defending the course pursued.
- Gillett, republican, could have pil
loried the president and Heflin in
their partisan folly, but no, repub
lican that he was, leading a patriotic
party, placed patriotism above party
and withdrew the motion amid the
approval of nine-tenths of the house.

T. R. "Amazed" at
Wilson Demanding
Defeat of Senator Fall
Oyster Bay. N. Y., Nov. 2. In a
telegram to Senator Albert B. Fall
of New Mexico, QoY. Theodore
Roosevelt again charged that Presi
dent Wilson puts loyalty to himself
above loyalty to the war."
Colonel Roosevelt's telegram was
in comment on a message of the
president to the socialist candidate
for the senate in New Mexico, ex
pressing the hope that Senator Fall
would be defeated on the ground
that he had not been a supporter of
the administration.
Colonel Roosevelt said he had
learned of the president's act "with
amazement, declaring the socialist
platform denounces the
declares for what is, in effect, a
German peace in ' language which
makes it out of the question to treat
as a loyal American any man who
st th Is crisis runs on such a plat
form." The colonel sr (' no man in con
gress, during the last five years, had
a "more absolutely straignt Ameri
can and war record" than Senator
FaN and expressed the hope that he
would be returned to thesenate
"with practical unanimity." 1

ABDICATION OF

.
"Down With Wilhelm," Cry
Thousands at Royal Pal
ace; Police Drive Away -the
Crowd.
Amsterdam, Nov. 2. Shouting
"Down with Wilhelm" and "Abdi
cate immediately,' a crowd of sev
eral thousand, despite police efforts
to disperse them, today reached the
royal palace at Stuttgart. Some
mounted the palace railings, clamor
ing forde posing of the emperor,
according to the Weser Gazette
After several scrimmages and ex
changes of shots police drove the
mob away.
The demonstration was the sequel
of a meeting of independent social
ists at which resolutions were
passed, demanding the establishing
of a socialist republic.
At a meeting of the progressive
party at Munich, Professor Quidde,
a deputy in the Landtag, declared:
"Vital interests of the German
people demand the emperor's abdi
cation." A resolution was adopted de
manding the emperor abdicate to
attest to the sincerity of Germany's
conversion into a people's state.
Takes Refuge With Army.
Paris, Nov. 2. Emperor William
is persisting in his refusal to abdi
cate, according to 'advices received
here. He took refuge at German
grand headquarters immediately aft
er the meeting of the war cabinet,
at which the question of his abdi
cation was raised, says a dispatch
to Le Journal from Zurich.
In heavy type the Temps today
prints the following under a Geneva
date:
"The . abdication of William II
may be considered now as an ac
complished fact. Official publica
tion is delayed for an opportune
moment."
The obstinacy with which Wil
liam Hohenzotlem is clinging to the
throne is making a bad impression
in Berlin political circles, the corre
spondent indicates.
