MINNESOTA BANKERS
MEET AT ST. paul
Outline Campaign to Be Waged
Before Legislature.

st. Paul, Dec. 23.-The largest gath
ering of state bankers ever assembled
in Minnesota discussed proposed leg
islation at the Saint Paul hotel, told
the resolutions committee what it
wanted, adopted the committees re-
port when it was returned and outlin-
ed campaign to be waged before the
state legislature this winter in behalf
of it's recommendations.
Most of the 600 bankers assembled
had something to say concerning the
proposed association with the federal
reserve system, but when a ballot was
taken regarding their sentiment to-
ward the proposed afiliation every
one elected not to 60 on record, but
rather to seek the opportunity to az
filiate with the federal plan according
to his own discretion.
The question as to who should rep.
resent the assemblage and it's inter
ests before the state legislature was
discussed and it was decided to exert
every possible influence as a commit.
tee of the whole, with special respon-
sibility resting with the resolutions

FRANCE SEEKING REVENGE
Will Not Lay Down Her Arms Until
Germany Is Beaten.

Paris, Dec. 23.-Premier Viviani,
stating the views of the government
concerning the war at the opening of
the chamber of deputies, said:
France, acting in accord with her
allies, will not sheathe her arms until
after taking vengeance for outraged
right; until she has united for all
time to the French fatherland the
provinces ravished from her by force,
restored heroic Belgium to the full
hess of her material life and her po-
litical independence, and until Prus-
sian militarism has been crushed, to
the end that it be possible to recon-
struct, on basis of justice, a Europe
regenerated."
The ministerial declaration, read by
Premier Viviani, was greeted by al
most continuous cheering. References
to the allies of France and to the COM
manding generals were applauded with
particular enthusiasm.
There was remarkable demonstra.
ton when the premier declared that
France and her allies are determined
to carry on the war to the finish.
whatever it's length and severity.

Germans P|anningto
Check Allies.
NO MATERIAL CHANGE
Battles Are Raging at Points on
East and West Fronts.

London, Dec 23-Fighting contin.
ues in Galicia, but here, as along the
East Prussian frontier, the Russians
seem to have been successful in hold
ing back the Austro- German forces.
The Germans, who are extremely
strong along the whole eastern from
tier, already are reported to be NOV
ing troops back to the west to meet
the allies offensive, but it is not con-
sidered likely that this movement will
reach large proportions until some de-
-cisive result has been attained in the
contest against the Russians.
Heavy fighting is taking place on
both eastern and western fronts, but
without producing any material
change in the positions of the oppos-
ing armies.
In France and Belgium the allies Of
fensive is being pressed and while
,sorae ground has been gained at wide
ly separated points other attacks have
been repulsed by the Germans from
their strongly entrenched positions.
In the northern area the artillery and
warships took up the battle, giving
the infantry a rest, but lower down
the line, and from the Disc to the
Meuse, fierce fighting took place in
many districts.
May Compel Retirement.
While the progress of the allies is
extremely slow it is the belief of mill
tary experts here and in France that
the gains which the general staff have
been able to report are disturbing the
Germans system of Notifications at
vital points and will, if successfully
continued, compel a retirement by the
Germans from their present lines.
In the east most of the Germans
north of the Vistula retired across the
East Prussian frontier before the on
rush of the Russian forces, but south
of that river, between the BZura and
the Pilica, the Germans continue their
advance and announce that in fierce
battle they have succeeded in cross
ing branches of the Bzura and Raw
ka rivers at many places. This should

gether and a few days will tell wheth-
er the German advance is to be check
ed or whether the Germans are again
to threaten Warsaw.
Turks, like their allies, are being
attacked on two sides. The Russians
claim to have inflicted severe defeat
on them in the district of Van, while
the allied fleets have been lombard
ing Kilid Bahr, in the Dardanelles,
and a French destroyer has shelled
their troops on the mainland opposite
the island of Tenedos.
The first real view of the extent of
the South African rebellion is given
by the minister of justice, who says
that 1000 rebels are now in prison
and that 1900 have been sent to their
homes on parole.

Fails to Get Two Y

ALABAMA man AUTHOR
Roll Call in House Shows 1877
for and 189- Against.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The Hobson
resolution, to submit a constitutional
amendment for national prohibition to
the state legislatures; was defeated In
the house, 1877 members voting for
and 189 against it, An affirmative
vote of two-thirds was required to
adopt the resolution. I
Party lines were wiped out in the
struggle. Democratic Leader Under
wood and Republican Leader Mann
fought shoulder to shoulder at the
head of the forces opposing the reso-
luton. And when the vote came Of
the 1877 standing for the resolution
ia were Democrats, 6S were Repub-
licans, II we're Progressives and 4
were independent Republicans.
The vote of the Minnesota delega-
ton on the Hobson resolution stood
four for and six against it.
Representatives Anderson, Lind
bergh, STEVENSON and Volstead voted
for the measure. and Representatives
Hammond, Davis, Manahan, Miller,
smith and Stevens voted in the mega
tive.
Prohibition leaders said the major
ity for the resolution had fulfilled
their expectations, as they had not
hoped for a two-thirds vote at this
time.
Whether similar resolution pend
ing in the senate, submitted by Sen
ator Sheppard of Texas, would reach
a vote in the senate at this session
is not certain.
Administration leaders were inclin-
ed to believe, however, that it would
not, in view of the action of the house.
Fails by Sixty-one Votes.
Notwithstanding repeated public as.
sertions that many members of the
house would try to dodge a record
vote on the issue the roll call dis
closed heavy attendance, larger than
the average throughout the session.
On the final vote 1886 members were
recorded. To have carried the resolu-
ton would have required 258 afirma-
tive votes. 1t thus failed by sixty-onc
| votes.
After more than ten hours of re-.
markable debate the house went on
record. It was at the conclusion of
one of the most stormy contests of re-
| cent days in congress and following
| votes on several amendments. Repre-
sentative Hobson closed the general
debate, participated in by all the
house leaders, many of whom were re-
peatedly cheered by men and women
in the crowded galleries.
Speaker Clark repeatedly admon.
ished the spectators to maintain or
| der.
Although advocates of the Hobson
resolution freely predicted that it
would receive majority vote many
of them, including Mr.. Hobson, had
conceded at the start that the resolu.
ton would not receive the two-thirds
vote necessary for it's adoption
Before the final roll call Representa-.
tive Hobson presented an amendment,
which was adopted, giving to "the
congress and the states concurrently
the power to enforce the prohibition
provision by needful legislation
An amendment offered by Represen-
tative Adamson, to give the states alb
solute control of legislation under the
proposed prohibition amendment, was
voted down on rising vote, 179 to 32
