Carved Poles Which They Consider Sign of'Heathen State. A despatch from Ottawa says;. Religious revivals among the Indians are held partly responsible forthe disappearance of totem .poles from their villages in Canada. When the question of the rapid disappearance of these poles arose at the annual meeting of the Canadian Historical Association here, on receipt of a let- ter from H. I. Smith that more totem poles were being offered for sale in a British Columbia village, C. M. Bar- beiiu explained the reason for their removal from the Indian villages.' Although the painted carved poles now had no connection with religion the Indians, when they had a reli- gious revival, thought they should get rid of what they considered a sign of their heathen state. Therefore, after they had enjoyed the thrill of a revi- val they wanted to sell their totem poles. Moreover, substantial sums were offered and the market was get- ting better with their scarcity. The association :deplored this and passed a resolution supporting the Do- minion Parks branch in its : plan to preserve the few remaining Indian vil- lages.' Two totem pole villages had disappeared since 1917. LOAN TO AUSTRIA VIRTUALLY ARRANGED League of Nations Fixes Total of International Loan at $135,000,000. A despatch from London says: - Arrangements for the issue of the in- ternational Loan to Austria are now virtually completed, the London fin- ancial editor of the Manchester Guardian says. The amount, fixed by the League of Nations, according to the Guardian's editor, Is about 5185,000,000. Of this amount, about 530,000,000 has already been floated in short term notes, which will be offered for conversion into the long term issue.: This leaves about 5105,000,000 yet to be raised. It has been decided to raise the en- tire amount inoneoperation. Thirty, million dollars,ftve million dollars more than J. P. Morgan and Co. have agreed to dispose ofin the United States, will be raised, and this amount may be even larger in case some of the smaller nations fail to deliver their quota. France is expected tofurnish two million dollars, while Switzerland is counted on for between ono. and two millions and Sweden for about three millions. Austria herself is expected to pro- duce thirteen millions, and it is hoped that Spain will take a share and join the list of guaranteeing states. The British part of the loan will probably be issued the second week in June, and likely carry 7% per cent. interest, which is the maximum Austria is per- mitted to pay under the League financ ing' plan.
