London. 4i30 a. m.. —The Petrogrnd

graphing a review of the eltuatlon on
the Russian front, nays:
"Only time ta now required to re

the fighting around the village of
KoHlenloa state that while the artillery
duel was proceeding for several days
and nights the troop* were unable to
move. Finally the artillery fire be
came equal on both side* and order*
came to make a bayonet attack. The
soldiers, stiff and miserable from their

line a Ith Irresistible vigor.
Terrible Fight.
“The German* for the second time
during the war on this side, met them
with the bayonet and a terrible fight
ensued. Neither aide could gain the
advantage and the slaughter was fear
ful.
"Finally a Russian hurrah came
down on the wind from the flßnk fol
lowed by brisk filing. The Germans
mistook this for a successful outflank
ing movement and they broke and fled,
abandoning everything In their tun for
safety. The Russians pursued them
for twenty miles and the plain was
strewn with German dead."

BATE HEARING
Plans of Shippers to Probably
Rely Wholly on Arguments to
Refute Railways Claims.
Washington.—l <Oll In 11. Hrandols,
counsel (or the Intnrstute Commsr'e
ponunUslon. attacked the figures of
railroad stntlstlrlin*. upon which the
Eastern railroads are asking Increase:!
>n freight rates because of the Kur;-
loan war when the hearlnic on the rate
cure Was resumed today and demand
ed an opportunity to cross examine
the men who prepared them.
Hohert C. Wright of the Pennsylva
nia's traffic department, described tho
method of reaching the estimates. He
leatlfled they were "rough and not
founded on comptroller'# figures " He
In lated, however, that the lossea de
ecrlbed were large enough, even "opti
mistic.”
Mr. Rrandela forced the witness to
admit that aome of the conclusions
were "pure guest work.”
Final Day.
Washington.—Hearing on the appli
cation of the eastern railroads frr a
general Increase In freight ratee of at
least flva per cent were continued
before the Interetate commerce com
inlsalon today, with the prospect that
the case of the carriers would be com
pleted before tbe day's session ended.
Counsel for the roads had announc
ed yesterday at tbe conclusion of tbe
examination of W C Maxwell, ap
pearing for the general freight usso
elation lines, that they had but one
more witness to call. Plans for the
shippers have not been announced hut
It Is understood they will present lit
tle testimony, depending almost e. -
tlrely upon arguments to refute the
claims of the railroads.
Hntnuel Itea, president of the Penn
sylvania ayatem, was the first wit
ness called today. He said a decline
of S 1-1 per cent In gross earnings
for the fiscal yaer of 1914 and of alx
per cent for July and August supple
mented hv conditions brought about
by the war In Kurope, made Imme
diate relief necessary.
The war had resulted In special ag
gravation of a situation peculiar to
the railroads; a situation which had
already been adjudged asiln need of
relief, the wltnese said.

CANDLER PLAN IY BE FOLLOWED BY
OTHER BANKS IN TRIS SECTION
Trouble With Farmers Has Been That They Not Only Could
Not Sell Cotton But Couldn’t Get Loans on Reasonable
Basis.
Atlanta, Ga. —Several of the strong
est banks in Georgia and other South
ern states have under consideration
a plan for cotton loans to the farmers
similar to that launched at the begin
ning of the week by Asa G. Candler,
president of the Central Hank and
Trust Company of Atlanta.
Mr. Candler, having declared that
legislation was unnecessary and, in
fact, Inadvisable, set to work at once
to prove his contention, and by h!s
announcement of last Sunday gave
the cotton market in Georgia its first
strength for weeks. A distinct spirit
of optimism has sprung up among the
merchants, farmers and correspond
ent banks of the Central since they
have learned that money Is to go out
to the cotton centers of Georgia to be
used in loans on cotton at the regular
ra*e of Interest.
The vivifying effect has opened the
eyes of other big financiers of tho
South and they are arguing that If
one bank Is able to accomplish so
much by Its offer of loans on cotton,
the solution of the whole problem, so
far as this year's crop is concerned,
may be reached by similar action on
the part of other large banks scat
tered through the South.
Big Financiers Interested.
A representative of one of the large
state banks, not In Atlanta, has been
In conference with A. P. Coles, vice
president of the Central Bank, with a
view of recommending the plan to the
board of directors of his institution.
Other bank officials have gone over
the plan, and its reception Is taken to
Indicate that announcements will he
made within a short time similar to
that made Sunday by the Central
Bank.
The Central's correspondent banks
have entered enthusiastically into the
plan, since they will be among the
chief beneficiaries. In one town tho
correspondent bank has taken full
page advertisements In the newspa
pers to notify Its patrons that It .*
participating in the Candler loan, and
Is a correspondent of that bank. In
this section the Immediate effect was
to send cotton up a half cent.
Sam Martin, known as one of the
best cotton classers and warehouse
men In Georgia, has been selected to
have supervision of the new ware
house In which will be stored the cot
ton accepted by the Central Bank.
The announcement that he had been
engaged to direct the grading and
storing of the cotton was made Thurs
day by A P. Coles, vice president of
the Central Mr. Martin haa been with
Inman. Akers & Inman and other large
cotton dealers He Is regarded as
probably the best selection the bank
officials could have made.
The distress among the farmers his

only have been unable to sell their
cotton for Its cost of production, but
they even have been unable to get
loans on It at any reasonable basis.
Banks have disclaimed the charge that
they were holding back their money
from the farmers, but the farmers and
merchants nevertheless have borne
testimony that their cotton up to this
time in many sections of the state
has been practically worthless as a
security.
Mr. Candler’s plan is to lend 6 cents
per pound on cotton up to 1,000,000
bales and store the cotton In Atlanta
warehouses.
