JAPAN MAKES
BIG WAR LOANS
TO CHINESE
FKKINM, Dec. ill. Japan’s loans to
(’hina are estimated by tin* Tokio cor
respondent of one Peking newspaper
to have attained a total of about $148.
885.000. Loans from Japan contracted
by China in the present year are
placed at $66,515,000.
The newspaper’s correspondent al
leges that according to his informa
tion much of the proceeds of the loans
contracted this year has been di
verted from the stipulated purposes
for which they were made, and have
been “squeezed” by private persons
or wasted in prosecution of the civil
war. He elaborates as follows;
“The loans of $25,000,000 con
tracted by the Hank of Communica
tions nominally for the purpose of
1 effecting reforms in the said bank did
, nothing to attain that end but. on the
i contrary, the value of the bank notes
kept on dropping steadily. The pro
ceeds of the telegraph administration
loan, amounting to $20,non,non. were
also recklessly squandered. The mili
tary loan, also amounting to $20,000,
ooo, was contracted ostensibly for the
purpose of participating in tin* Kuro
pean war by the recruiting and spe
cially training of three divisions and
eight brigades of troops. Hut the pro
ceeds were used for prosecuting tin
internal war."
Further loans in process of negotin
tion by ('hina arc estimated by tilt
! correspondent to amount to about $7o.
, | Ooo,000 Of this sum anout $5o.ouo,uuo
i is intended for the purpose of estab
lishing iron works. “According to
the provision of the loan agreement

EARLY HISTORY OF
FORMER GOV. BRADY
--—_
The Children's Aid Society of New
I York, of which the late John (!. Hrady,
j of Sitka, formerly governor of Alaska,
was at one time a ward, furnishes the
folic wing additional information about
his boyhood days:
“N.hen a half-orphan, according to
tlie records of the Children's Aid So
ciety, ho was deserted by his fat lie i
when 10 years old. He was placed
by the local organization with John
(Ircen. a farmer of Tipton, Ind., where
he remained until 18117, and then
taught school, having been educatec
by his foster-father. In 1870 he went
to Yale, where he was graduated in
1871. and then entered Union semi
nary. After his graduation he leased
1.700 acres of land in Texas, where
he proposed to establish an industrial
reform colony for New York slum
boys, but the project had to be aban
doned owing to lack of funds.
In 1878, as representative of the in
dustrial section of the board of horn*
missions of the Presbyterian chut li

DECOY SHIP’S
BATTLE WITH
i
MINIKIN. lx* <> (Correspondence
of the Associated Press). Tile loss of
the British decoy ship llunraven in a
desperate battle with a German sub
marine, the story of which has now
been made public by the British ad
miralty. constitutes one of the most
daring and heroic episodes of the anti
submarine war. With their vessel
ablaze, and boxes of cordite and shells
exploding every few minutes, the
after gun crew stuck to their gun un
til tlie magazine exploded and blew
them and their gun into the air. Mean
while tin1 battle with the submarine
v-a fiercely waged.
This action took place in August,
PUT. The vessel was one of the de
coys which was commanded by ('apt.
Guidon Campbell, who had previously
wen tlie Victoria Cross by heroic and
successful work in decoying subrna
iPies to their destruction. I:i her role
of an armed British merchant ship,
the llunraven was zigzagging her
course in the lanes haunted by the
submarines when a U-boat opened fire
upon her at a,000 yards The ilun
raven returned the (ire with lmr mer
chant ship gun ami reduced her speed
to enable the Hun to overtake her.
To coax liiin on. wireless signals were
sent out reading: "Help. Come
quickly. Submarine chasing and -hell
ing me."
I it.ally, wain the submarine's shells
began falling close, the llunraven
stopped and the usual "panic party"
abandoned ship The llunnmm was
then on fire aft and the submarine
closed in to a distance of pm yards,
but wa partly obscured from ib a by

I Although he knew that tin rnuga

that a gun anti a gun's crew i.-y eon

siilnnarine had passed clear of the

! air. The concussion started the fire

The s mens hiding the guns were
dropped and the only gun that -.could
be brought to bear opened lire. The
submit, tie commenced to submerge.
