PLANS FOR DEBTS IN EUROPE.
System for Meeting Exchange Situa-
-. ton Before. Reserve Board,

Plans for meeting the foreign exchange
situation and caring for American obli-
cations to Europe were submitted yester-
day to the federal reserve board by ]. B.
Forgan of Chicago, chairman of bank
ers' committee. The Recommendations,
which will be taken up Tuesday. urge a
voluntary syndicate to upderwrite the
necessary amount of gold. The commit
tee is without positive information as to
the full amount, but it has repeatedly
been aproximated at $15O.OOO.OOO.
Some bankers outside of New York op-
posed to such syndicate contend the
foreign exchange situation concerns New
York city alone. 1t Is understood, how
over, that most of the board members
regard the exchange problems as one
which vitality interests bankers from all
sections and not as one which concerns
only New York.

NO AMERICAN SOLDIERS
FREE TO co TO EUROPE
Release a Violation of Neutrality in
Opinion of Judge Advocate
General of Army.

In the opinion of the Judge advocate
general of the army the discharge Of
soldiers Of the United States Army,
in order that they may serve in the
forces engaged in the European war,
might, with reason, be construed to
be in effect the supplying of trained
troops to belligerents and the fur
nishing indirectly to a belligerent aid
which is strictly prohibited by the
generally recognized principles of in
ternational law.
Confidence of Great Britain that
German war craft have been chased off
the regular trade routes of the north
Atlantic Is expressed by the formal
notification by the British ambassador
to the State Department that his gov
eminent has decided to disarm British
England and the United States. This
action is taken to mean that England
feels sure she has the German war
craft bottled up. while she has suf-
ficient warships of her own that can
afford adequate protection to English
merchant vessels plying across the
Atlantic.
Merchant Ships Disarmed.
The arrival Of the British steamer
Adriatic in New York recently with
four guns frowning from her deck led
the German ambassador to question
the United States as to the status of
the British ship. If the ship had been
considered an armed ship the rules of
international law would have required
it's speedy departure from port, not to
return for three months.
The British government took the po-
sition that the guns were carried for
the protection of passengers. 1t con-
tended that so long as the vessel was
engaged in commercial pursuits direct
between two ports, and was not cruis-
ing around on the ocean. it had right
to carry arms for protective purposes
solely.
Scrutiny for Each Ship.
The situation brought to the United
States the necessity of passing upon
every ship that might come from a
belligerent country, to decide the size
and number of guns the ship might
carry without being considered an
armed vessel.
Without yielding it's position as to
the right of its ships to carry arms,
the British government notified the
Secretary of State yesterday that it
would remove all guns from CONNER
cial ships in order to relieve the
United States of the problem presented.

figures emerged from the rear and
the advance continued.
The Germans went forward at the
double quick. The French artillery
continued destructive fire, but the on

means to stop it. The French in
fantry poured volley after volley into
the German ranks.

The Germans filled the roads and over

is the turning point of a policy which
the French drilled into the Muscovites:
Let US consider the adversaries OF
Germany: Russia, the classic land OF
power and terrible exploitation of the
people for the benefit of a degenerate
aristocracy; France, a type of nation
