LOANS WITHOUT SECURITY. New York, October 30. Mr. Henry Davidson, Mr. Morgan's partner, has returned from England. He says that the future of the Allies is security enough. The unsecured Government bonds of Britain and France are absolutely good without collateral no matter how the war terminates. MR-. HUGHES' CAMPAIGN New York, October 31. Mr. Hughes, answering a question from a heckler whether he favored an embargo on the export of ammunition and warning Americans against travelling on liners, replied: "I favor the maintenance of every right, including the rights of travel and shipment. It's a thoughtless policy to surrender these important rights because of sentimental considerations." THE LUSITANIA AFFAIR. New York. October 31. Great interest is being taken in Senator Lodge's charge that the President put a postscript to the Lusitania Note sugesting that the contents should not be taken too seriously. Mr. Wilson indignantly denies this and says that a member of the Cabinet suggested an intimation that a German proposal for arbitration would- be acceptable, but Mr. Wilson rejected the suggestion, and adds that the public knows the entire communication to Germany". The New York Times opines that Mr. Bryan made the suggestion, the nonadoption of which led to his resignation.
