"Prisoners of war also are well

"The chief of the Russian socialist

strengthening of the anti-democratic

Continuing, the report says:
“As the campaign goes on. the tend

Reserve Board to Have Direct
Supervision of Fund. Details
Not Made Public Last Night,
But Scheme Outlined by Sec’y
of Treasury As Most Practical
of Any Yet Presented.
Washington, D. C.—After weeks of
negotiations between bankers and fed
eral ‘reserve board merp-bers a tentative
agreement was reached tonight when
the board virtually approved, by which
a fund of $135,000,000 will be raised to
care for the surplus cotton crop and
extend aid to cotton producers. The
plan is slightly different. from that
originally proposed, but loans will be
made on cotton at 6 cents a pound bear
ing interest of not more than 6 per
cent for one yeaif with a privilege of six
months’ extension.
The reserve board will have direct
supervision of the fund but probably
will operate through a committee of
bankers and business men.
McAdoo Outlines Plan.
All details of the plan was not made
public tonight. New York bankers have
agreed to subscribe $50,000,000 to the
fund and Southern bankers are counted
on for $35,000,000 more. The remaining
$5-0,000,000 is to le raised in non-cotton
producing states.
Secretary McAdoo outlined the plan
tonight In the following statement:
“The federal reserve board today con
tinued consideration of plans for relief
of the cotton situation, giving special
attention to a plan suggested by Albert
H. Wlggin, J. S. Alexander, A. J.
Hemphill and William Woodward of
New; York and Festus J. Wade of St.
Louis for the raising of a cotton loan
fund aggregating $135,000,000. This pan
has been evolved fVom that originally
proposed by Mr. Wade.
Tentative Approval.
“Full details cannot be given out un
til it is submitted to bankers in lead
ing financial centers to ascertain wheth
er or not they will support it. It has
been approved tentatively by the fed
eral reserve board, and bankers in the
leading financial cities will be asked
immeditely to subscribe the necessary
amount. New York City bankers have
agreed to subscribe $50,000,000 upon,
condition that an additional $50,000,000
shall be subscribed by cities in non-cot
ton producing states. The remaining
$35,000,000 is to be provided by the cot
ton states.
At Six Cervts.
“The new plan contemplates the loan
ing of money on cotton at 6 cents pound
and at an interest rate not exceeding
6 cents for a period of one year with
the privilege of a renewal for an addi
tional period of six months. It is pro
vided that all services rendered in the
administration of the fund by voluntary
committees and bankers shall be with
out charge but that the borrowers shall
pay three per cent on the amount loan
ed to them into a fund which is to be
called the guarantee fund and which is
to be used exclusively for paying the
necessary expenses of administration,
which It is estimated will not exceed
one-eighth of 1 per cent and the re
TERRIBLE LOSSES
IN COAST BATTLE
Germans Have Taken the Offensive on Right Wing of Allies.
French Admit Enemy’s Progress at Certain Points, at Oth
ers Claim E qual Success Against Invaders---On Shore
Troops of Five Nations Fighting, at Sea British and French
Warships Have Joined.
London, 9:15 p. m.—The immense
armies of the belligerent powers con
tinue to hammer each other ceaseless
ly on lines extending from the North
sea to the Swiss frontier in the west
and from the Baltic sea to the Carpa
thians In the east. The net result,
however, so far as can be judged from
official reports issued Saturday night,
is that they gain a little here only
to lose a little elsewhere.
A commander-in-chief is the only
one to admit reverses In the western
theatre and he does so only In cryptic
sentences. It is difficult to Judge,
therefore, how the battles in France
and Belgium are progressing, but it i;
certain that up to this evening none
of the armies has succeeded In push
ing its offensive far enough to bring
appreciably nearer the end of engage
ments that have been going on for
weeks.
German Offensive.
The Germans have taken the offen
sive aualnst both the right wing of
the allies, which rests on the sea, and
that part of the French army defend
ing the line of fortifications between
Verdun and Toul. In the former oper
ations, In which every German soldier
at the command of the officers In Bel
gium is taking part, the FVench report
admits that the Germans have made
progress at some points, but declares
that at others the allies have been
just as successful.
From the 9ea.
It Is evident that along the coast the
Germans have found tt difficult to ad
vance In the face of the force drawn'
along the Yser canal, aided by the
British and French ships which are
bombarding them from the sea. It

that may be made on cotton at the stip

the conclusion of the whole transaction
the amount of money left in the guar

Early In Week.
"It is hoped that responses may be
received from the bankers of the lead
ing cities early next week. If favor
able, the plhti will be put into imme

ton loan fund will be administered un
der the general supervision of a central
committee of the individual members of
the federal reserve board which com
mittee will, in turn, appoint a com
mittee to be knofrn as the “cotton loan
committee” and which will have ac
tual management of the fund.
“The Dlan in its new form is more
practical than anything heretofore pre
sented and it is hoped the requisite
amount mav be promptly subscribed that
the plan may be put into immediate
operation.” \

Thus far the warships have had thjf"

to have Inflicted terrible losses on the
Germans trying to advance along the

little or no damage and have warded

the Germans in another not far dis

accounts of train loads of wounded
being taken daily to the hospitala are
not exaggerated.
