THE BUSH FOREIGN MINISTER
WILL PROW BE FORCED OUT
Paris, Oct. 14—The crisis In the
British cabinet that was foreshad
owed a few days ago in the press
dispatches Is about to culminate
In the forcing out of office of Sir
Edward Grey as foreign secretary,
according to today's London udvlces,
as a result of the defeat of the
alllee in the Balkans.
The London Globe, an influential
British paper, a few days ago de
scribed Britain's diplomatic "failure
in the Balkans as ghastly." It
said further that the foreign re
lations of England cannot safely
be left in the hands of the present
executive officials.
Continuing its comment editorial
ly, It said!: "It is most unfortunate
that Sir Edward Gr«y speaks only
the English language. .More un
fortunate still is the fact that
his permanent under secretary had
a German mother and is married to
a German woman. If failure is not
1.0 end in disaster, this ill-omened
partnership must en.d."
The above is the strongest and
most direc* criticism yet directed
against any British tjublic official
and created a pronounced sensa
tion.

MONEY IN UNITED STATES
New York, Oct. 14—Subscriptions
to the third Gorman war loan are
still being received in thi3 country,
and according to estimates by one
closely in touch with the situation,
over $20,000,000 will have been sub
scribed before the lists are closed.
Wliile the subscriptions prior ended
in Germany Sept 21, it was decided
on account of the poor shipping con
nections, to extend the time in the
United States to Nov. 1, on which
date the subscriptions must be in
Germany. This means that prospect
ive investors have until aabout the
middle of October to make the nec
essary arrangements.
The subscriptions are coming in
the ordinary channels, public and
private. A good portion is being
privately transmitted through the
local banks with German connec
tions. It is estimated that through
the various German consulates and
other private means about $9,
000,000 has been secured In Great
er New York and $4,000,000 to $5,
