T0 HELP ALLIES

nquiry Indicates 55% of Voters Would Approve Military Loan.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP = Director, Institute of Public -Oninien

.PRINCTON, N. J, March 6— ~ According to dispatches by Mr. Ludwell Denny, Times special writer, some eareful observers of the - military situation in Europe now believe that Germany has a slightly better than even chance—about - 55-45 says Mr. Denny—of winning the war. If Germany does appear “to get the upper. hand in the months ahead, two questions will inevitably p= for the American’ public:—= : . ‘Sheuld the United States enter the war? : 2. If. net, should the United States come to the rescue of -the Allies with military loans again? ‘Recent Institute reports of American ‘public opinion have shown a Marge majority—more than three - out of four-—ep- | posed to entering the European war, even if the Allies should be losing ground, The number opposing U. S. intervention has dropped considerably since the early days of the war, last fall.

Trend on Loan Shifts

But a new study just completed ~ indicates that a small majority (55 per cent) think they would be willing to untie the American purse strings again if the ultimate suecess of the Allies depended upon it. “As long as the Allies are able to hold their own, the United States

- should keep its hands in its pockets,”

a New York voter comments, “but if Germany gets the ball on their 10-yard line, we ought to lend them anything but men.” Others qualify their answers by saying they would faver loans “only if we could be sure of being paid” er “if it wouldn't get us into the war.” _ A considerable hypothetical factor is invelved in both these studies of American epinion. Nobody can prediet with certainty how American public opinion would react if a German offensive actually seemed to threaten the Allied®cause.

Man Indieate Future

On the other hand, the surveys do reveal the present attitudes of the U. 8. public, and, as in the case of arms embargo sentiment, may be an _indication of future sentiment. Several months before war came; the Institute reported that—faced with the contingency of war in Europe—a majority of Americans thought they would faver selling

SHENANDOAH, Pa., March 6 (U. P.).—New settlements added to the hazards of this anthracite city teday as two new danger spots were revealed in sections net yet affected by Monday's 24-block eave-in. One is in the south section of the

city, where the Philadelphia & Reading Ceal and Iron Co. the world’s largest anthracite producer, has extensive diggings. and the other on the fringe of the area damaged by Monday's cave-in. Councilman William Maximonis revealed that timbers in some sections of the mines which have beer abandoned in the seuth section are rotting and that their collapse would affeet an area of about 10 plocks. The same situation, city officials disclosed, prevails in the extreme northeast section of the city, where a mine was abandoned 30 years ago. Unless the supporting timpers are re-inforced, a collapse of some 40 to 45 feet will result, they said. A settlement there would affect about two blocks ef residential dwellings. At the same time, they added, there appeared little that could be done to belster the weak supports. Authorities hoped that the second inspection tour would reveal the cause of the cave-in which caused damages estimated at mere than a millien dollars. Many of the 600 families living in the area still were without gas, light and heat. With only two exceptions, however, all of the hemes were tenantable. Meanwhile President Martin F. Brennan of District 9, United Mine Workers of America appealed to the Federal Housing Authority to establish a projeet in Shenandeah or vieinity for families in the oan. er area. , Angered by | the’ general laxity

pressed for legal vedsoss and legis~ lation to prevent further disaster. Three hundred citizens met last night to form’ a permanent committee to take action against those responsible, if any, for the subsidence that cracked buildings, tore. up streets and sent occupants scurrying from their dwellings. They also voted to demand legislation compelling anthracite companies’ to “slush” underground workings after coal has been removed. From official quarters, however, it became increasingly apparent that heme and property owners apparently were “out of luck.” “The rights- of the people are like a fleeting cloud,” said Governor Arthur H..James, who as a “breaker boy” himself lived over the affected area many years ago. “They huilt their homes at their own risk. The operators have the unqualified right to mine and remove.”
