jackson, Miss, Oct. 2S.-The Sons
of Plato" secret organization alleged
by Attorney General Ross A. Collins
to be in existence with the object of
fixing the price of cotton seed in the
south, still flourishing like a green
bay tree, it is said, and reports seem.
1ngly authentic have it that the pres,
ext Plato is H. C. Forester of Me-
ridian manager of the Southern Oil
and Fertilizer company, of that city,
while it is also currently reported that
W. d. Lowe, manager of the Canton
Oil Mill, at Canton. is now secretary,
having succeeded w. b. Gowdy in that
position some months ago
Since the article exposing the organ
ization of the Sons of Plato" was pub
lished in various newspapers last Sun
day great many people have inquired
if the order was still in existence.
Attorney General Collins was asked
today if he had any evidence that the
"Sons' were still maintaining an Or
ganization. He had just returned from
New Orleans, where it was reported
that a recent meeting had been held,
but he declined to answer either in the
negative or affirmative. When asked
if the report that Mr.. Forester had
been chosen to succeed E. M. Durham
as the head of the order, and Mr.. Lowe
had recently been elected secretary,
he smiled, and declined to make any
reply.
\ People familiar with the order
and its alleged manipulations to fix
the prices of cotton seed say that
while E. NJ. Durham, of Vicksburg, has
retired as the active head, he is still
a dominant figure in the alleged
trust"
The attorney general continues to
quietly go about preparations for the
prosecution of the seed trust" and
sensational developments are expected
when the actual trial takes place In
January.

London, Oct. 2S.-Reports from sew
eral sources today indicate that the
Germans, because of their supreme ef-
forts to gain decisive result in Flan-
ders, are suffering losses at other
points on the great battle line in
France
Thousands of Germans have been
taken from France to reinforce the
army so hard pressed in F1anders
Quick to take advantage of this, the
French have dashed in and driven the
Germans into their own territory near
Nancy. They have made considerable
gains at Soissons and Berryaubac. ac-
cording to French reports.
German attacks in the Flanders
fights are becoming less violent, ae-
cording to the ofncisl French an,
nouncement his Afternoon. The
French position everywhere has been
maintained and advances have been
made North and East OF Ypres. accord
ing to this report
News dispatches say the fighting IN
Flanders has become massacre. 1t
is estimated 10000 Germans have been
killed. but no mention has been made
of the number Of allies dead. Details
OF this fightfng show the desperate
character of the struggle, with no
quarter given Or received in many
hand to hand combats.
User Crossed Seven Times.
Seven times the Germans have
crossed and recrossed the User, but
each time they found themselves in a
death-trap commanded by defenders
guns immovably entrenched behind the
railroad embankment running parallel
to the User.
A few Germans succeeded in en-
trenching themselves among the
Dunes, but this force was not sufficient
to dislodge the allied forces. The Ger
mans, however, are still rolling up re
Endorsements in an effort to hammer
their way through to Calais.
