Largest Subscription Was for $35,000,- 000 Lot of Clerical Work Involved. New York, Oct. 5.—The amount of oversubscription to the $500,000,000 Anglo-French bond lesue, it was said authoritatively tonight, is appreciable in" the number of subscribers but not considerable in terms of dollars and cents. Most of these subscribers came in for relatively small amounts. With the closing of the underwriters’ books today it was announced that the total |G. of ail subscriptions would not be made public but that the loan ha n oversubscribed. There seemed to be good grounds for the reports that the oversubscription would be between $5,000,000 and $10,- 000,000, but nothing official was forth- coming to comfirm this. In this con- nection it was learned tonight that the six largest applications alone took care of $100,000,000 of the issue. The largest subscription was Sou. $15.900.000; the next was for $20,000,000; the third for $15,000,000, and the et three for $10, 000,000 each. The identity of these sub- scribers was not revealed. Some idea of the immense amount ot clerical and other.work invoived in the flotation of the loan my be gleaned from the fact that 35 groups of under- writers in as many cities and sections of the country participated. The Yeork group, largest of the lot, consist- ed of 60 financial institutions. Each of the institutions, it was assumed, kad hundreds of customers whom it carried in with it on the underwriting The labor of collectiog, placing and tabulating these subscriptions was o great that the office force of J. P. Morgan have worked for the past week till Jate at night and on two nights worked until dzybreak. ommzm'c WOMEN AT GENERAL EL!CTRIC PLANT In Effort to Get the Entire 1W Em.

The. other 1,000 em- ployes are clerks, principally, and they may be organized later. At several meetings in different parts of the city much eathusiasm for organ- ization was displayed todey among the 1,500 or more women present. Leaders said tonight there was no doubt that the women workers, with the possible exception of a hundred or less, soon would be affiliated with either the m: chinists or the electrical workers. The women already have been forced out of the plant by its suspension In the producine end, due to the strike of the members of various crafts, the last of Wwhom, the pattern makers, core makers and moulders, left today.

New York Oct. 5—Negotiations for the acquisition of the Pennaylvania Steel company by the Bethishass Steel corporation, which,, if successful, may lead to a still largef combination of steel companies, were in progress to- day in this city. ‘When it was learned that the deal was not finally closed it was stated on authority that there was. a likelihood that an announcement to that effect would be made soon. It was also learned that negotiations are pending for the purchase of com- trol of the Cambria Steel company and that there is a possibility of a combi- nation of this company with the pros- pective Bethlehem-Pennsylvania mer- fact, according toa high au- far with the situation in the steel trade, there was never & time since the formation of the United States Steel corporation, 14 years ago, that so many deals, involving millions and millions of dollars, were under way, & at present Practically Svery steel and fron com- pany in the country of any importance had been ‘uv‘pro-ch-fl it was said, in rival interests to organ- STRIKE OF MACHINISTS IN CLEVELAND SETTLED Al DIllllndl Granted Except Recog- ition of (M Union, A FOR FRENCH AND BRITISH 180 @ Week Are Being Manufactured by American Firms.

The complexion of the next board of aldermen will be 12 to 9 In favor of the republicans. Great Surprises. Perhaps the two greatest surprises were_the Gefeats of William H. Hack ett and Arthur D.

Washington, Oct. 5.—Theorectically the United States is at war tonight, By some route unknown to Admiral Fletcher, commanding the defending naval force, a great enemy fleet is ap- proaching the entrance of Chesapeake bay with the purpose of establishing s base, which, if affected, would open the way for an attack on the national capital. Admiral Fietcher is unaware of the enemy’s objective and knows only that he is operating somewhere, off the At- lantic coasr between Maine and, Flori- da. The vessels of the defending force, which Ipcludes most of the bat- tleships Ut the Atlantic fleet, are strip- ped for action. Little will be known to the public about the war game until it all over, ten days hence.

Secretary Dantels said today the proposal to recommend to con- gresk the establishment of this policy had been discussed by him, both with President Wilson and with Chairman Padgett of the house naval affairs committee. While he explained that no definite decision had been reach- ed, the secretary indicated that he was inclined to favor such a plan. The navy general board for many years bhas computed its construction esti- mates on a basis similar to that sux- gested, but the proposal to write the plan into an appropriation bill as a definite continuation of the building policy, neverd has received the ap- provai of any secretary of the navy.
