BRITAIN LENDING
ALLIES BIG SUMS
FOR WAR NEEDS
Advance 1,500,000 Pounds
Daily Australia Requires
Much Financial Aid
MAY MODIFY BLACKLIST
By FRAtfCIS W. HIRST
Special OaiU to the Hvenlng Lt&otr.
LONON, July 2.
Perhaps the most extraordinary phenom
enon In Parliament Is the absence of com
petent financial criticism, although there
nVo a dozen highly capable business mem
bers. The case, however, seems worse
than It Is, because the majority of the
fflembors's speeches, however good, go
pysteniatlcally unreported In the London
dally press. Unfortunately, much time Is
consumed on worthless speeches about
military tactics by amateurs, like that of
Churchill last night on the debate on the
war credit. Tho 450,000,000 credit Is the
largest yet asked for, but It struck a
snag, as the House of Commons was on tip
toe for the Irish sensation.
Tho chief featuro of Asqullh's financial
statement Is reassuring, as ha expects the
new credit to last till the end of October,
Which means 16,000,000 expenditure dally.
Another Interesting fact uncovered by the
Premier In that nearly fl.5OO.O0O dally Is
being borrowed by the Allies and the
colonies. Among tho colonies Australia
take the- most, owing to the labor demands
which Premier Hughes must Batlsfy. Tho
Nigerian four-year bonds now yield 6 per
cent.
Tho stock markets are inactive. There
Is llttlo dosiro and loss facility to specu
late. Tho Irish unsettlomont Is a depress
ing factor, but tho Irish securities are
firmly held by Investors.
Tho dollar oxchango reserve Is now very
large, but not excessive, as the loans to the
Allies would otherwise create unfavorable
exchange tendencies.
Sazanoft's retirement as Premier of lun
ula Is Interpreted here an a. victory, for tho
nutocrncy and connected with tho move
through nnsputln's roturn to favor. The
Gorman press professedly regards Sturmer
no a paclflst, and, therefore, welcomes the
change. .
Our press Is beginning to mention tho
American comments on the trade blacklist.
Many shippers here have declared that this
policy has been pressed too far and would
not bo surprised to hear of substantial mod
ifications. I
Another diplomatic problem, that of the
Dutch fishing rights, in also" engaging at
tention. Tho Dutch fishing fleet has been
selling herring to Germany and fishing In
prohibited areas; hence the Dutch fishing
boats hao been taken Into our prize, courts.
As no such comments have appeared here
the public has no information beyond the
Foreign Ofllco announcement.
Tho real freo traders hero are dissatis
fied -with tho composition of tho Trade In
, qulry Committee, which Is Intended to pre
pare the ground for an Imperial fiscal con
ference, as Indicated 'jy Bonar Law's letter
to tho colonial governments.
Coal prices in London are rising. Whole
' Balers say that they expect a shortage next
winter If the war continues.
P.ublic Service Increases Stock
NEWARK, N. J., July 26. At a special
meeting of tho stockholders of the Public
Service Corporation of Now Jersey today
tho recommendation of the directors to In
crease the capital stock from $26,900,000
to $50,000,000 was approved. None of the
stock will bo issued In the lmmedlato future.

OT MORE than twenty years ago,
Philadelphia counted only a hand
ful of telephones, little traffic, and
but a few operators; the telephone
man of the period was a gifted
Jack-at-all-trades who did his best
and put his faith in the inevitable
ness of progress.
But where once the obstacles
were those of the pioneer, volume and in
tricacy present the giant problems to-day.
Only a few years back the average tele
phone user made a careful ceremony of his
s call, to-day the novelty has gone and he has
what he requires prompt, intelligent com-
. pliance with his wishes, regardless. That
he shall expect no carelessness, ,no bun
gling, is but proper. Yet he must do his
part if the ideal of service is to be attained.
Telephone communication of to-day
deals with elusive electrical impulses, with
Interferences that are-difficult to trace, and with personal
contacts that are not f ace-to-face; when something goes
wrong, there is no machinery that is all in plain view.
And, so, perhaps the greatest telephone operating prob
lem that exists to-day is in bringing about a public under
standing of the really giant contribution our patrons may
make to tne still further betterment of the service if they
will but perform the parts which they and they alone
can play.
If they will consult the directory before calling, and make
each call by number, that will help. If they will spealc slowly and
distinctly, and will give their numbers thiswise: Filbert two-seven-nine-four,
that will also help. If, as a further contribution
towards the desired end, they will always remember that the
young women at the switchboard can be counted on to do their
part if they are shown the same consideration which they are glad
to accord every reasonable demand upon the service, then a long
step will be taken towards the-goal of 100 service.

The unclaimed cooing S-months-oid baby
boy at the Philadelphia Hospital has be
come a crying baby.
He Is ravenously hungry and has to eat
prepared foods, and he wants his mother.
Because no ono knows what his real name
Is he has been registered under the name
of Andrew Carr. The head nurse at the
Philadelphia Hospital, Thirty-fourth and
Pine streets, says she Is sure the child has
not been abandoned, because Jewish moth
ers never abandon their children. She
thinks the babe Is lost and the mother does
not know where to inquire concerning- him.
The only thing by which the child can
be Identified are the blue stockings and blue
shoes he woro when ho was brought to the
hospital. Ho Is perfectly healthy, strong
and hungry. He has black hair and large
brown eyes, which are becoming rather red
from crying. For be It known that Andrew,
or whatever his real name Is. Is beginning
to loso faith that his mother Is ever coming
to take hm In her arms and take him home
again.
He Is a lovable little child, In whom the
nurses have taken a special Interest. He
Is really getting metre than his share of
coddling nt the Philadelphia Hospital, but
still ho "wants his mother,"
Tho child was found In Norris Square,
Diamond and Hancock streets, by Patrol
man A. E. Jacoby, of the Klghteenth Police
District, when he was warned by a woman
Monday afternoon that an old woman had
been silting In the park for two hours hold
ing a baby which was not her own. Tho
woman, who proved to be Miss Katherlne
Schustc, giving her address as 1932 South
Second street and nt 1721 Waterloo street,
claimed she had received the child from a
woman, who was afterward Identified as
Mrs. James Breen, 2051 North American
street Mrs. Breen testified In court yes
terday that she did not know where she got
tho baby.
Ho Is watting his parents at the Philadel
phia Hospital. Those wanting to know
about him can find out by calling Baring

Allister or the head nurse of tho children's
ward.

OLNBY, 111., July litlthe "murder

noteworthy In the criminal annals 61 HI.'.-;;

Wealthy relatives of Roy HlnUrllter, ths ;.
young farmer boy held by tha orand Jury-
without bond for the alleged murder tot the
girl. Are making strenuous efforts to pro
cure tils release on ball.
The manner of the girl's death Js de
clared by Dr. Frank H. Weber, of the Olner
Institution, to be remarkable. He said to
day he knew of no case like It. The au
topsy disclosed the presence of air in th
arteries collected about ths brain and
heart.
According to Doctor Weber, the girl died
of embolism. When the post-mortem was
held there was apparently nothing to Indi
cate the cause of death no marks of vio
lence, no symptoms of disease and rio sign 4
on organic auuciion. it was evident tnat
she was about to becoms a mother. The
barest chance revealed the cause of death.
In making the autopsy one of the surgeons
accidentally cut an artery and an air bubble
was found.
Discovery of an Illegal Instrument by
which physicians say Hlnterllter blew air
Into the girl's arteries started the chain of
ovldence.
Hlnterllter. in Jail here, still refused to
day to throw any light on the alleged mur.
der and maintains that he knows nothing
of the case, other than the girl fainted
while she was riding with him.

An Unparalleled Victory
About a month ago we announced to the world our newest value the $635 Overland.
In twenty-four hours and from every state in the Union we had received more orders '
than we could fill in several weeks.
So we immediately increased the production filled the orders and notified our
dealers not to push the model too hard as we were going night and day to catch
up with orders.
j
Before the end of the first week orders were pouring in so rapidly that we decided to
again increase the production so that there would be no disappointments.
ft But still bales of business continued to flood the factory.
i Now we are shipping 500 of the new cars every single day and are fairly breaking our
j . backs to keep pace with the great demand that now looks as if it never would
( cease.
JrVe anticipated a great success, but we did not look for such a daily avalanche
of definite shipping orders. '
Such is pubiic opinion the strongest force, tho greatest asset, in the world.
Never before has any automobile enjoyed such an unparalleled victory.
Step in and see this extraordinary car yourself today.
