ASSOCIATED PRESS WINS SUIT.
Verdict for Milwaukee News Re
versed by Appellate Court.

CHICAGO. December 23.-The 1lli-
nois appellate court has reversed a
judgment of s23.025.e0 against the As
sociated Press granted in the circuit
court in favor of the News Publishing
Company of Milwaukee. The reviewing
court held that the trial court should
have directed a verdict for the defend
ant.
The case was based on the action Of
the Associated Press in refusing the
plaintiff March 81, 1897, before becom-
ing a member, to turn to it for the
benefit of the Milwaukee papers which
were already members of the Associat-
ed Press and which consented to the
admission of the News as member
any claims which the News might hold
against the United Press under alleged
breach of contract made March 6, 1894,
and $4,000 additional.
The opinion says that as the require
ment was made at a meeting of the
board of directors in New York. the
case should come under the New York
law, and therefore no injury was done
the plaintiff by the requirement.

IN WAR LOAN MONEY
British Subscribers Deposit $780,
100000 the First Week After
the Call.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 1.-THE money
market has been much interested this
week in specializing as to how much
money would be paid up on the war
loan and awaited the bank return to
get some idea regarding the amount
Exact figures are not available, but
deductions from the bank return show
that about f70.oo0,00O (s350,000.O00)
was paid up, including f6,500,000 ap-
plication money.
That this huge amount was taken off
the market without disturbing rates
shows the quantity OF money lying idle
New capital seekers appear to be re-
covering from war nerves and to be
taking advantage of the present plenti-
full money supplies to float several
small issues whic'- have been hung up
since the war.
AS each stock exchange settlement
concludes the amount of stock taken
up by clients is said to be gradually on
the increase when prices reach July 30
level. so that the position Is slowly
being reduced. There appears to be
quite good demand for gilt-edged
stocks from the provinces at the mini
mum level fixed by the committee.

deavor to get action in the Senate on
the House resolution. already passed,
providing for a statue to Maj. Gen.

The statue of the commander of the
Army of the Potomac is to be given to
the United States by the state of
Pennsylvania, but it was originally
intended that Congress should appro-
pirate $4,000 for plans and prepara-
tions of site to be chosen by a COM
mission composed of the Secretary of
War, the chairmen of the Senate and
House committees on library and the
governor of the state of Pennsylvania.
The House also amended the resolu-
tion SO as to provide for the placing

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Today's official communications
indicate that each side has had
its victories and defeats on the
western battle line. The French
army chiefs state that they cap
tured the last section of a line OF
German trenches near Perthesles-
Hurlus, where fighting has been
severe for several days, and have
made an average gain of 800
yards. The German statement,
speaking of this engagement, says
that the French attack was
partly repelled." French claims
to progress in Belgium are denied
in Berlin, where it is said that the
British have suffered reverses at
the hands of the Germans.
The German war Office reports
no developments in the east, say
ing merely that the fighting is
continuing. The. French state
ment, however, asserts that the
Russians are pressing forward
their invasion Of Germany, across
the East Prussian frontier, but
admits that the Germans have
made progress in the fighting in
Poland, to the west of Warsaw.
The latest official communica-
ton from Petrograd, in the same
breath, admits that the Russians
have been compelled to retreat
from some positions, and asserts
that the German attacks have
been repulsed everywhere with
heavy losses to the invaders.
Germany and Austria continue to
assert that important successes
are being achieved.
It is announced in Lisbon that
German forces have invaded the
province of Angola, Portuguese
West Africa. The Portuguese
government admits THAI the
troops at the military post of

Dr. Giuseppe Notta, the new president

terview with the correspondent of the

be Swiss, nothing but Swiss.
That attitude is the only one which
can serve our interests and the cause
of Europe. The three races which make
up our nation are working in the
closest union with this end in view
After certain hesitations the German
Swiss, whose minds work less rapidly,
and the French and Italian Swiss who
are more easily influenced by senti-
Inent, have closed ranks around the
national idea that from whatever
quarter an aggressor comes. il he
should come, he will be the enemy for
all Swiss. and Immediately the Swiss
army will enter the line with those
who already fight against that enemy"

NEW YORK, December GA further
decline in the common shares of the
United States Steel Corporation to 4s,
the minimum price established by the
exchange authorities, was the feature
of today's, stock market. The entire
active list fell back to the lowest level
recorded since open dealings on all

week.
Taking today's low range as a basis,
prominent stocks are down 4 to points

the present rules of the exchange, it is
believed that the minimum in this and
other stocks will have to be revised
downward.
