BERLIN, May 18—Russia’s new loan, extending over nine months only, has been subscribed by Berlin banks, headed by the Mendeissohns. It is of 200,000,000 rubles ($103,000,000). The money will not leave Germany, as it will be devoted en- tirely to making expenditures incurred by Russia in shipbuilding orders given to this country. | In spite of the semsational con- | cerning large orders for baftleships se- | cured by Charles M. Schwab and Charles | Flint from Russia, there is excellent rea- | son_ for believing that beyond a possible | order for especially toughened steel, nickel steel or Harveyized armor plates | to be used upon the ships built in Russian | dockyards, the journey of Schwab and Flint came to nothing. On the other hand large orders for ships have been given in France. Both thege and the orders given in Germany form part of the conditions | | made on the occasion of the recent loans. America was sounded nine months ago ?'rcspectmg a Russian loan, but fhe out- | ook was so discouraging that Russia did | not persist. A temptation was offered at | the time irf the suggestion of a Russian | order for warships in America. ————— s REVIVES INTEREST IN WAR. Prospect of an Early Meeting of the Fleets Stirs the World.
