Fierce Fighting Has Been in Progress Since Sunday in the Vicinity of Nieu- port
ALLIES PUSHING
 FORWARD TO THE
 RELIEF OF LILLE
Germans Making Deter mined Efforts to Break Opposing Line-French Claim Progress

London, october 2O.--(9n5 D. m., Fighting of the most desperate char acter Is In progress in West Flanders and northwestern France. The Belgian arSuy, supported by the allies, is hold- Ing stubbornly to the line of the River Yser and thus far has halted deter- mined efforts of the Germans to ad- vance along the coast.
 This Is announced fin the French official communication issued this afternoon and is admitted in the report of German gen eral headquarters, which says fighting has been going on since Sunday in the vicinity of Nieuport, which stands at the crossing of the river near the sea.
 Attempt Advance
 A little further to the south the allies are attempting to advance toward Lille for the relief of that city, which has been iu German hands for sometime. They also are pushing on to the north and south of Arras. Their efforts yesterday to ad- vance on Lille, where the Germans hold strong positions, were repulsed, according to the German report
 To the south, at the bend of the line. the Germans continue furious but futile attempts to break the French line. Along the Mouse in the east. according to the French account, the Germans have faile, to repulse the French, who debouched along the territory in which is situated the Camp des Romaines, now in the hands of the Germans, In an attempt to cut out that portion of the German army which Is thrust toward St. Mihiel.
 Generally speaking, the French clain, to have made progress at various points along the front. Paris reports that the allies have destroyed 15 German machine guns. two of which were armored. near La Bassee, and a batatery of German heavy artillery in the environs of St Afihiel.
 Bring Up Achievements
 Both sides are bringing endorsements to the western front where supreme struggle is on. The Germans are not bringing new troops from the east but are throwing every available man In Belgium into the firing line. They seem to have the railroads working we'll, although they must have been seriously damaged during the battles of August and September. Troops are being transported over them and Dutch sources report that train after train of wounded is being taken back to Germany.
 In the fighting in this open country, where the men have not the protection of elaborate entrenchments. such as they have on the Aisne, the losses must be heavy, especially where endeavors are made to carry positions by assault.
 German and Russian reports agree that the situation in the east Is unchanged, all though the armies are in close touch along the east Prussian frontier, and across Poland and Galicia. In Galicia, however, the Austrians claim to have repulsed Rus sian attacks and to be making progress in their campaign to drive out the in vaders.

Two Relief Measures and
 Compromise Amendment to Smith-Lever Bill to Be Presented to the House
BULkLEY DELAYS
 PROCEEDINGS ON TECHNICAL POINT
Amendment Provides S25O,- 000,000 to Be Loaned by
 Treasury to Cotton and
 Tobacco Producers

Washington. October 1O.--(specisI1 Hope of IeRislation for relief of the cotton producers was revived today lu the breasts of the southern members cf ConEress when divergent factions sn the House committee on rules got to- xether on . rule to bring in . couple of relief measures and . compromisc amendment to the smith-Lcver ware house bill was framed for presentR- ton to the House. Proceedings, how- tive DuikIey of Ohic raised . point of no quo rum and kept the House sitting idle from 2,45 in the afternoon tiII o'clock before the requisite number was obtained.
 The rule brought in by Chairman Henry provided for taking up the ware house bill and the Senate bill to permit national banks to issue circulating notes based on commercial paper to tho OK tent of 100 per cent of unimpaired capt tai and surplus instead of only 30 per cent. One hour was asked for discuss
 
 bill with half an hour additional for each bill for amendments.
 To Provide $250, 100000
 By the proposed amendment to tho warehouse bill, the treasury is to provide s250, ,0o0.000 to be loaned to cotton and to- bacco producers and landowners through the banks. instead of direct as proposed by the Henry bill. which had stirre,k up such opposition. The deposits of thls5 Erinney would be arSortioned amonx tha banks according to the proportionate pro- duction of the various states.
 Cotton and tobacco are specified as adequate collateral for such loans. but no valoriation of either staple is at tompted "The deposits shall be made only on condition that the banks ac- cepting such deposits will loan the same under reasonable terms and conditions Ut rate of interest not to exceed per cent. says the bill, to producers or landown- CTS. In this provision. say the cotton men, lies tho crux of the measure. Banks will not receive such deposits unless they use them for the purpose specified, and the cotton congressman believe tho banks will be glad to get the funds on such terms.
 May Refuse Money
 On the other hand, fear Is entertained by some that many banks will refuse the money on these terms, and will decline to assume the responsibility for the gov- ernment cash under these conditions.
 In providing the s2o0.00O.000 the Secre- tary of the Treasury either shall issue government notes at per cent, redeem able in 4gold on January 1, 1916. or shall sell S24O.000,0o0 of Panama bonds carrying per cent, or may use both bonds and notes. No repayment of such bank de- posits shall be required by the treasury before December a. 1915.
 Senator White. who visited the House with Senator Boke smith, expressed his approval Of the amendment as did sev- eral members Of the Alabama delegation In the House.

Hope for Adjournment

Washington, October 20.--With a coIn- promise cotton relief proposal under con- sideration In the House and a. joint con- ference committee at work on the war tax bill. tho tangled legislative situation cleared slightly today and hope of ad- journment of Congress by Saturday again was felt.
 Cotton forces in the House, which had been holding up the revenue bill to force cotton relief legislation, gave way when the House rules committee reported . special rule for consideration of the Lever cotton warehouse bill and the Glass bill authorizing the acceptance of 100 per cent. commercial paper as basis for federal reserve currency. The rule car- rled a special amendment to the Glass bill to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit In cotton and tobacco states se5O eco GOO ? per cent government notes maturing January 1, 1s16
 With the understanding that this pro- posnl was to be considered in the House the cotton states representatives allowed House leaders to send the war revenue bill to conference The House and Sem ate conference immediately began . ses- s.on which ran well into the night and fin which all of the undisputed sections of the bill were agreed on. The cot- ton relief plan met with opposition as soon as It appeared In the House. When
  quorum by Representative Buikeley of Ohio held up further business for three hours while the sergeant at arms struKr zled to round up enough members to do business When quorum was obtained Representatives. Mann. Payne and other repubfcans and Representatives G1ase and Bulkeley. on the democratic sides denounced the cotton amendment vigor. ously. ,s
 Another tie-np came when an effort val made to end debate on the rule. Repre-. sentative Glass insisting that a quorum should be present. A roll call discloeed only 1sS members and the House nnally adjourned. ,

NICKEL PRODUCTION.

Although the United States
refines more nickel than any other
country, practically all the ore used
comes from Ontario and New Gale
donia. 1t is there reduced to Matte
according to the United States Geo.
logical Survey, and then shipped to
this country for futher reduction to
metal. The only domestic nickel
produced is small quantity obtain
ed from blister copper as a by-pro-
duct in electrolytic refining, and
even this small quantity is so mixed
as to source that what part of
of it is of domestic origin and what
part is Of foreign origin can not be
determined.

They now control the federal government,
and with the institution Of the various

the government wilfbe made a real consti-
tntional government. instead of an autoc-
