LARGE INVESTMENTS
Concerned in Appeal to United
States Supreme Court.

SfscSS Cubc SouTJ.
Washington, Nov. 19.-Invest-
ment of about $150,OOO. 900 in Chi
cago Office buildings by corporations
was said today to be concerned in
the outcome OF the Imperial Build
ing Company's appeal to the su-
preme court from the action of state
courts in declaring it's charter void.
Argument on the appeal has been
completed
. The state forfeited the charter on
the ground that the primary purpose
or the corporation was not to operate
an Office building. but to hold real
estate as an investment.
The dec sion of the Illinois court
has in its effect destroyed a number
of charters declared the attorneys
in their brief, and placed their
stock and bond holders at the mercy
OF the ground lessor. or where a
deed has been given, at the mercy of
the grantors. Several of these com
panies have stock issues of from
Sl1, 100000 to $4,000, ,OOO-the lat
ter being that of the Chicago Ma
sonic Temple enterprise"

The fire was discovered only ofter
1t had gained great headway and
nothing could be done to stop its
progress. The building was OF
brick, 30 by 100 feet with two
wings 80 feet in length. 1t was

which advanced right on 20 the
German frontier after the battle at
Warsaw, met superior forces and has
fallen back more than half the dis
tance covered in the advance.
The Germans are sending forces
into the country between the two
rivers where the battle must be
fought, hoping that in this confined
area the Russians will not be able to

for the battle, and it is probable they
will select it as far as possible from
the German lines of communication
In Galicia, before Cracow, and in
East Prussia the Russians are push
ing Their advantage, apparently dis
regarding the fact that their center
has been compelled to fall back.
They also are showing much ACTIVITY
in the Carpathians to prevent the
Austrians from retiring into Hun
gary. 1t is stated they already have
cut off 100000 Austrians, who will
now be compelled, if defeated, to re-
treat westward.
In Flanders and France the b.:.
tie which has been going on for 35
days has again developed .nto an ar
tillery duel. This doubtlesa is due
TO inability of the infantry or either
side TO operate successfully over ths
muddy ground, and to the extended
Hooded area between the coast and
DiXmude. While they are a.ol!rg

be bringing more big guns to the

MEETING CALL FOR
FOOD FROM EUROPE
Despite Great Increase in Foodstuffs
Total Exports Show Large Fall
ing On-lnCrease i'm Cotton.

Washington, Nov. 17.-How Eu-
ropes cry for food is being answered
by the United States was set forth
n statistics made public today bv
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. They showed that dur
ing last month exports OF bread
stuffs amounted to $3S,247,57O, an
incease of nearly S25,O0O,OOO over
those of October, 1913. Exports of
fresh beef last month were more
than double those of October a year
ago, the figures this year being
SS3,94O as against $36,S63.
In spite of the tremendous in
crease in food shipments, however,
exports as a whole did not measure
up to last years figures. The total
for October as recorded at the coun-
try's 10 chief ports was S3,513,466
as against $147,S33 .016 the previous
year. The districts selected handled
nearly 80 per cent of the nation's g
export trade and the tabuiation
shows the balance IN favor of this
country on international trade stood
last Saturday at s32,392,214 for the
first half of November.
1t was said at the commerce bu-
reau the increase In November ex-
ports probably would show bread
stuffs and fresh meat were still in
greater demand than during last
month. Officials also pointed to the
increase in cotton exports as a sig
nificant feature of the situation.
So great has been the European
demand for breadstuffs that wheat,
corn, barley, oats and -four are 60
ing across the Atlantic from every
port in the United States. Huge
shipments have been made from San
francisco via the Panama canal.
The total Of breadstuffs exports for
the 1O-months ending with October
this year was $1204,216,47S as
against $17O,22O,519 for the like ne
riod of 1913
Export trade in mineral oils show

probably because of the seizure OF
many oil-laden ships by British
cruisers. The decrease in all ex-
ports for the 10-months period of
1914 was s212,326,321. Cotton ex-
ports for October 1914 were valued
at $2O,42O,043 against s1O7,375.-
1877 in October 1913. The decrease
for the 1O-months period in cotton
shipments alone between 1913 and
1914 amounted to s127,1SO,74S.
