No LonKcr Will Bo "Way Station,'' Ilo
Says, With Proposed
Improvement
The plan of the 1'ennsylvnnla Hallroad
Company to build a two-track passenger
train subay from the tracks of the New
York division near Tmetmvtlahtli ntrit
down ItlJge avenue and Thirteenth street
In trder to bring western and southern ex
presi trains directly Into the proposed new
central station at Fifteenth nnd Market
streets, was welcomed today by former
Mayor Rudolph Htaiikcnburg as a progres
sive step which will end forever tho Jlbo
that l'hlladelphla Is only a way station on
the Pennsylvania lines.
Mr lllankcnburg deplored the fact that
the railroad company had abandoned Its
original proposal to build such a passenger
subway tn conjunction with the city's Itroad
street tube The route of tho subway, how
ever, he observed was a minor detail when
compared to tho fact of Its actual construc
tion. inoam:ssivt: roMcr
Tho decision of the present management
of tho company to undertnko this big pro
ject, the former Mnyor said. Is proof that
tho Interests of Philadelphia arc being given
careful consideration by tho railroad heads
nnd that this city will no longer bo side
tracked. Jn this connection, Mr. lllankenburg re
called that shortly after he took oftlco ns
Mnyor he held a conference with the late
James McCren, then president of tho I'ertn
sylvnnln. Ho suggested then lo Mr. Mc
Crea that tho company Join with the city
In building a subway down Hrond street
both to accommodate tho city's local passon
ger tralllc and to bring tho railroad's ex
press trains directly Into tho heart of the
city Instead of dumping passengers on tho
outskirts of tho business section cither nt
West Philadelphia- or North Philadelphia
stations.
"" Mr, McCrca replied, according to Mr.
lllankenburg, that tho company wns not
contemplating any comprehensive locnl Im
provements, but that It was looking west
ward for Its development, Tho present
management under the presidency of Mr.
Hen, tho former Mayor commonted, has
taken a much broader and fairer view to
ward this city.
UOOST FOIt CITY
Continuing, Mr. lllankenburg said:
I welcome tho proposal, which I hopo
Is true, of tho Pennsylvania to build

Gold Loan Treasury Notes of 1916

This loan Is n direct obliRntion of the Republic of China nnd is secured, in respect fo both principal
and interest, by n first charge upon the entire revenues derived and to be derived by the Chinese Govern
ment, from tho Chinese Tobacco and Wine Public Sales Tax, with the declaration by'tho Chinese Gov
ernment that said tax will net it, during the year 1010rl 1,080,000 (Chinese currency), or thecqulva
lent of about ?n,8-10,000 gold, and that during each of the years that all or any pnrt of this loan, prin
cipal or Interest, Is unpaid, said tnx will amount to a Hum equivalent to nt least $5,000,000 gold.
Tho Chinese Government declares that Bald loan Is needed by tho Chinese Government for indus
trial purposes, including the Internal development of China, the strengthening of the reserves of tho
Bank of China and the Bunk of Communications (both of which are ofllclnl bunks),, and other similar
purposes. '
The subject matter of this loan has been submitted to tho Secretary of Stato of the United States
of America, and is referred to by him In a letter dated November 10, 1010, as follows:
"I have read tho contract between yourselves nnd the Republic of China with reference -to
a loan of five million dollars for a period of three years, and I have to say, In reply to your
oral request for a statement of the policy of this Department respecting such loans, that tho
- Department of State is nlways gratified to boo tho Republic of China receive financial assist
. anco'from the citizens of tho Uuited States, and that it Is tho policy of the Department now,
as In tho paBt, to give all proper diplomatic support and protection to the legitimate enter
prises abroad of American citizens."
The Government of China states the population of Chlnn Is about 400,000,000 and its total external
and Inteninl debt, as of December 31, 1915, but including this loan, amounts approximately to the
equivalent of $680,000,000 gold, or a debt equal to $1.70 per capita. The Government Btates that
throughout the history of China, Including the Empire, there has never been a default in the payment
of lntrestor principal of any part of tho nutlonnl debt J , .
All legal matters in connection with this loan, Including the contract with the Republic and tho v
form of tho notes, have been approved by Messrs. Mayer, Meyer, Austrian & Plat, of Chicago!
