BANKS TO HOLD INSTALMENTS SUBJECT TO CALL. Most subscriptions to loans are pald in instalments, usually four, at such intervals as may be specified in the contract, commonly one month, In the present instance it has been pro- posed that the instalments be subject to call, so that a bank subscribing to $1,000,000 of the bonds would pay §250,- 000 at once, and would keep in its vaults the remaining $760,000. Until a second % per cent. should be called by the disbursing agent this amount would be available for demand loans or for such other uses as might not interfere with having It immediately at hand when needed for the loan. A further advantage that would be gained, it is believed, by the instal- ment pw that before all the pay- ments bad been made, considerable parts of the principal of the loan would have been paid out by the bor- rowers for commodities bought in this country Each inonth that went by would in- crease the amount of money so re- ulation, and it is possi- @ entire in approx would either! in this country.

French forces have been assisting the Serbs In the field, and it was announced in July a large force of British had been sent to Serbia to meet any aggressive move by the German-Austrians there. The Russians who evacuated Vilna are declared by Berlin to be still in retreat and have also been forced to retire from Novo Alexandrovsk to the south of Dvinsk. Heavy artillery engagements and fighting by sapping operations are in progress along the western line in damage, according to Paris, has resulted to tha German positions at sev- eral points from the fire of the French guns. Allied warships have bombarded Middelkerke and Westende on the Belgian coast. Victory for the Italian arms is claimed by Rome in the region of Osteria and Fiorentini, where a violent Austrian attack was repulsed after hours of furious fighting. Shells thrown by the Austrians have done much damage around Cozsoca, Dver and in Plezzo, while shells from Italian batteries caused a vast conflagration at Koritnica, ive being France and Belgium. Considerable of course, that It red to my work. the very openness of the manner in which the letter was given me shows that Dr, Dumba had no intention of using me or my passport as a shield for the transmission of any improper letters, but, knowing personally I was sailing, simply availed him- self of the opportunity of having his note delivered direct, LEFT EMBARRASSING LETTERS ABOARD SHIP.

I did not conctously break either the spirit or the letter of my passport or of any law, but merely did what every traveller crossing the ocean does, by car- rying notes or small packages as an accommodation to friends, just as I did when I returned from Germany last year, when I car- ried several letters and official despaicies to our State Depart- ment for Ambassador Gerard and packages for Mrs. Gerard and others, Of course, in doing this tor Am- bassador and Mrs, Gerard I did {t simply as a matter of friend- ship, precisely as I carried the letters in this case, SAYS SOME ONE “ADDED” TO HIS STATEMENT. I regret the affair, not so much on my own account, as on ac- eral years, was, as already stated, given me 0 openly that [ thought it related merely to my work in the field. I was in no sense a “courter” for any belligerent and am post- tive that all concerned will bear out this statement. My counsel has called my atten- tion to interview telegraphed from Rotterdam via London, The major portion is quite correct, hut the last paragraph has obviously been added and made out of whole cloth. The sentence added to the end of the despatch says: "I am the victim of the cunning method of the Austrian and German Em- bassy offictals in making me the bearer of an incriminating docu- ment.” And quoted me as saying that I had been tricked into carrying this letter by these offictals, As T have never had any reason to suspect any such thing and have never for a moment harbored any such thought I wish to em- phatically deny the use of any expression of the kind, I do not think that I was the victim of any trickery nor do T believe that any official of either embassy acted in any way except in the best of faith Archibald dwelt at length upon the courtesy shown him by the British authorities after they had captured hie despatches, He said he was lacked up in @ police cell for one night, but that the British military authorities offered him the most profuse apolo- gies the next morning and did every- thing thereafter to make things nice and comfortable for him. ara DIES AS RESULT OF FIGHT.
