GREGORY SAYB PLAN DOEB NOT j VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW I 1 SUCCESS TOMOVEMENTSURE President Wilson Asked the Attorney General For An Opinion.—Up to New England Bankers. ' Washington.—No violation of Fed ■ : eral anti-trust laws is threatened- by | the cotton loan fund plan recently I perfected by bankerk'and members of ' I the Federal Reserve"'Board, accord [ ! in« to an opinion handed down by j Attorney General Gregory at the re i quest of President Wilson. Success of the $135,000,000 pool now is believed by treasury officials to be assured. More than' $80,000,000 of the $100,000,000 to be raised among northern hankers already has been , subscribed and practically all of the remainder, K is understood, had been promised on condition of a favorable ' opinion from the Attorney General. New England financiers, it was said, were reluctant to enter the plan until definitely aseused that the method of i raising the fund would not be con strued as unlawful. Attorney General Gregory's opinion 1 was rendered after a conference with President Wilson. The Treasury De partment made public- the following correspondence: "Tbe White House, "My Dear Mr. Attorney General: i "I am sending the enclosed papers, submitted to me by the Secretary of ;the Treasury, inuorder to ascertain ! whether in your opinion the proposed cotton loan fund may be lawfully formed. I know that it Is contrary to the practice of the department of give opinions beforehand aa to con templated transactions, and I think that such opinions ought never in or dinary circumstances to be given, but the circumstances with regard to tlie handling of the great dotton crop which have been oreated by the Euro pean war are most extraordinary and seem to Justify extraordinary action. It la for that> reason that I venture to ask you to depart In this case from the usual practice of your department. "It occurs to me that the fund con templated stands In a class by itself. It is hardly conceivable that such ar rangements should become settled ' practices or furnish precedents which > would be followed in the regular course of business or under ordinary conditions. They are as exceptional in their nature as tbe circumstances they are meant to deal with and can hardly be looked upon as, by possi bility even, dangerous precedents. It is for this reason that I feel the more justified in asking for your opinion in the premises. "Cordially and sincerely yours, (Signed) "WOODROW MIDSON." • ✓ Mr. Gregory replied at once to the President's letter stating that he was unable to see how such a plan could be thought to tall within the purview of the anti-trust laws.

German Armies Retreat In France. After many weeks of siege, about which the outside world has known | little or nothing, the Japanese have finally captured the German fortified positions at Tsing-Tau, China. With the surrender of the farts at Tslng- Tau, Germany loses the last strategic position outside "of the empire in Eu- j rope. v fit y'ln The attack made on the German forts In China by the combined forces of Great Britain and Japan have been j made on both land and sea. The forts were almost entirely demolished by the big guns from the ships in the ha:-1 bor before the land forces made a gen. eral assault. Again there has been somewhat of s lull in. the fighting between the allies and the German forces In the north of France and In Belgium. It has been repeatedly reported and generally ad . mltted from Berlin that the Germans have been forced to retire f;om tbe region of the Yser. The German .navy scored another | decided victory over the British when ' five German warships met and defeat- | ' ed four British cruisers off the coast of Chile. Two of the British cruisers were sunk, one was badly damaged and another Is missing. This makes eleven fighting vessels the British .' have lost since the war began. In the i North sea the German submarines succeeded in sinking seven British cruisers at various times. A lively fight, In which shells drop ped upon the coast of England, occur red on the North sea between British and German ships. England was a bit startled over the daring of the Ger. man ships in coming BO close to the British coast. The German ships es caped. No damage was done. Intent upon losing no time in giv ing Turkey a taste of war a combined fleet of British and French warships hurled shells upon the Turkish foits in the Dardanelles. The exact amount of damage done Is not known. Servla has declared war against Turkey. The fortified town of Akabah, in Arabia, on an arm of the Red sea, was shelled by a British cruiser and later occu pied by British marines. At the eleventh hour an attempt was made by Turkey to offer apologies to Russia for the bombardment of the two Russian ports and thereby avert war with the allied nations. This apology came in reply to the note sent Turkey by the allies demanding re prisal for the bombardment of the Russian towns and the dismissal of all German officers now with the Turk, lsh army and navy. The Turks steadfastly refuse to dis miss the German officers In their army and navy and for this reason It Is be lieved that Turkey will become engag ed in the European war. Efforts have been made by the conservative party of Turkey to avert war and It Is said that it was through their efforts that the note of apology was sent to Russia. I The young Turks, however. Insist Upon war and are already making prepara tions for the occupation of EgypL Much significance Is attached to the ' action on the part of Turkey as it Is believed that If Turkey declares war it will eventually draw other nations, ! now at peace, Into the conflict. Greece, it is thought, will be sure to take Issue with tbe allies and wage a relentiea* war agalnßt their old enemy—Turkey. Italy, Roumanla and Bulgaria may also send their armies into the field. | Germans Retire From Vser London.—A dispatch from Amsterdam says: "The Telegraaf learns fom Bluls (Holland) that tbe Germans have retir ed from the Yser and that tbe Belgi ans. hare occupied both banks of tbe river. The last village evacuated was Btuyvekenskerke, the troops returning from there to Bruges. "The battle is proceeding In the triangle of Dlxmude, Roulers and Ypres. Many of the In habitants ars leaving Bruges and are making their way towards Holland." Germans Hurled In River Paris. —The story of a French bay onet attack which forced into the river Oise a body of Germans after the bridge by which they had crossed bad been destroyed by a bomb dropped from an aeroplane was recounted In dispatches reaching Paris. The Inci dent took place near Semplgny. The French had been ordered to hold the bridge at any cost . After quick flrers bad played havoc for twenty minutes in the German ranks the bugle sound ed retreat and the Germans pou'ed across the bridge. Uss of Germsn Uniforms Oenlsd Washington.—A foreign office die patch to the French embassy denied accucatlons of the fc»rmaa press thsjl the French were using Ge man uni forms. "This ruse/* said the dispatch, "to which tbe Oennans often have re curred themselves, has never been em ployed by our soldiers, who, proud of their uniform, are content to Ox their j, bayonets snd burl themselves Into the assault of a position.

' r LIFE UNDER MIUTARISM--THE SPY SYSTEM CHICAOO DAILY NLWT "" " " Tokio.—lt Is officially announced ; that the German fortress of TBlng-Tau has surrendered to the Japanese and British forces. | It is officially announced that the , first step in bringing about the sur- I render of the fortress occurred at mid night, when the infantry charged and occupied the middle fort of the line of defense. In this operation they took 200 prisoners. # The fall of Tsing-Tau ends the most picturesque of the minor phases of the great world-war now raging. On two continents and in many islands of the seas, where colonies of the warring nations were planted com j bats of more or less Interest have > taken place, garrisons have been cap ! tured and towns occupied peacefully; I but in the little German concession on the south side of the Shantung peninsula of China, there has been going on since late in August a re duced scale of war that from all ac counts has duplicated nearly all fea tures of those battles In Europe that Hkve resulted in the capture of forti fied positions. I The capture of Tslng-Tau loses to Germany her last foot of possessions on the Asiatic mainland, as well as her last strategic position outside of the German empire in Europe. For nearly three months the little German garrison of about 7,000 men, and ne%£ ly wholly composed of reservists in China, has held out against the land and sea attacks of the Japanese, of certain British detachments of both white and Indian troops that found themselves in China at the outbreak of the war. What the losses of the garrison have been are not known, but the official Japanese and British reports have indicated that Tslng-Tau has been taken at heavy cost of men on the part of the allies It was on August'ls that Japan threw herself into the European war as Great Britain's ally, after demand ing that Germany withdraw or intern all German warships in Asiatic waters and relinquish possession of Klao- Chow. In the statement from Toklo that accompanied this declaration, Ja pan asserted that her Intentions did not contemplate the retention of one foot of ground on Chinese territory, and later affirmed that she did not Intend to extend her holdings In the Pacific. Denounces Charity For Europe Los Angeles.—While efTorts were be ing made to raise funds here to suc cor Belgian war victims. Dr. Milbank Johnson, president of the Municipal Charities commission, published a statement declaring that relief sent to Europe meant prolongation of the strife and suggesting that charity should begin at home. "Scientific methods of war." said Doctor Johnson, "aa exemplified In Europe, have brought combatants to realization of the potency df suffering women and children In compelling the conquered t*> sue tor peac6. If Europe is deter mined on a war of extermination, re lief efforts may only prolong hostili ties. War In Europe has thrown thou sands In this country out of work. The consequent suffering and privation are appalling. Charity should begin at home. Has it occurred to many who eagerly hearken to Europe's cry that they have oot contributed to the re lief of our own unfortunates." Bsrvla At War With Turkey London.—A Constantinople dispatch states that Servia severed diplomatic relations with 'Turkey and the Ser vian ambassador asked for his pass ports, says the Rome corerspondent of the Exchsnge Telegraph company. German Cargoes Are Affected London.—The closing of the North sea to all shipping except that which places Itself under the protection of the British fleet Is recognised aa the first stroke of Admiral Baron Viaher, the new first sea lord of the admi ralty and as one of the most Import ant events of the war.'

The ' admiralty has received from Wllhelm shafe little beyond the announcement of the time and place of the accident ' and the number of men saved. A fuller r report, It Is expected, will probably 1 be available soon. It Is definitely an nounced, however', that the sinking was : due to a German mine and not to hoa ' tile attack. The ship, which was un der way, presumably swung outside of ' the channel through a mine field and ' touched one of the powerful German • mlnues which made short work of the 8 big crulßer. The conduct of the crew, in the moment of disaster, is described • as exemplary and there Is much regret 1 over the destruction of the crulßer— ! the heaviest Individual loss as yet BUS -1 tained by the German navy. The loss " of the Yorck is counter-balanced In the' " German opinion by the news of the dar ' Ing raid of a German squadron into ' British home waters to Indulge In what " is described here as "a bit of rat hunt ing on its onw account." The report ' from the commander of the squadron 1 states that the Germans suffered no 1 loss or damage to men or material ' and returned safely to its base, whore ever that may be. The retirement of 1 the German squadron, it is stated here, ; may not Improperly be described. In ' the much-abused term, as a "strategic ' retirement," designed to draw its pur ' suers Into difficulties. The names of 1 the German ships engaged will not ' be published and there is the Bame 1 reticence regarding the Identity of the ! submarine which sank the crulßer Her. - mes. in well-informed quarters the 1 British report of the sinking of a Ger -1 man submarine oy the destroyer Bad ' ger Is strongly questioned. So tar as known no German submarines have 1 been destroyed beyond those whose r loss was reported earliest. Turks Declare Holy War 1 Berlin. —According to Information 1 given out in official quarters to the press, the Shelk-UI-lslam, the chief ec ' cleslastlcal dignitary of Mbhammedan " Ism In Turkey, has Issued a decree In 1 Constantinople, saying that in the flght ' ing with Russia, England and France, • the duty of every Mussulman Is to Ills ' faith. This decree Is spread through ' out the Mohammedan world and an nounced to the pUgrlmß at Mecca. A report received here from Constantlno ' pie says that the ameer of Afghanistan ' has sent an array of 1701,000 men with ' 135 guns to the Indian frontier. This ' newß was given out In official quarters 1 In Berlin to the press. The railroad 1 from Herat to Kushk has been de ' stroyed. British Ships BufTsr Defest '■ Valparaiso, Chile. —The German war • ship Gnelsenau, Sclinrnliorat, Nurn -5 berg, Lelpslc and Dresden attacked ' the British fleet off Coronel, Chile. ' The British cruiser Monmouth was ' sunk. The cruiser Good Hope Wat " very badly damaged, and she was on ' lire, and Is supposed to have been ' lost. The British cruiser GlaHgow was ' also badly damaged, and took refuge ' In the harbor of Coronol, and Is now 1 bottled up. ' Germans Withdraw From Yssr 1 London. —That the German army " has abandoned Its attempt to hack its way along (he Belgian coast to Calais Is agreed by all the official i reports. A combination of Inundated ; country, the remnant of the Belgian - army under King Ail ert, and the ac - tlvlty of the British warships, seem- I ingly, ail oontrlbuted toward ending . the costly struggle. *.
