banker for the allies has been lighter
this month than at any time since the

000,000 has been paid out as allied
loans since -January 1, the treasury
reported, although payments on this
account have been nearly $400,000,000

principally by tHe curtailment of ship
ments of food, for payment of which
American credits bad been largely
used. Total credits extended by the
treasury now amount to $8,688,772,000,
but only $7,85416,000 has been actu
ally paid out under these credits.

location, state of health and military
unit of the writer.
