Secretary McAdoo Believes This Fund Will Greatly
 Relieve Situation.
PROSPERITY IS HERE
Secretary of Treasury Asserts Il Would Be Difficult to Retarl Gen. eral PrOsperity-Reserve
 Bank Deposits.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Deposits in the twelve reserve banks that opened yesterday have approximated $170,- 000,000, according to the preliminary figures of the reserve board today.
 Of this amount $137, 100000 was in gold coin and bullion, and $33,000,O0o in other forms of reserves deposited. The secretary of the treasury's office this afternoon stated there was ao real opportunity yet for these re- serve banks to transact business, as the forces were engaged in counting the reserves as they poured in. The systems business of today was not reported.
 Secretary McAdoo officially an- nounced tonight the success of the $1O0, 100000 cotton loan pool. The completion of tine plan to help the cotton situation, he said had never been in doubt, but had been delayed "by tho selfish opposition of certain textile manufacturers and local inter- ests who have tried to defeat it." In this way the secretary disposed Of reports that the cotton pool might be abandoned.
 The credit for the success of ths pool is given largely to New York and St. Louis bankers, Messrs. Kuhn Loeb & company and Bernard M Earuch & company, being mentioned as those who came to the front ant subscribed the $3,Oo0,OOO to make ul the necessary total after all othei Inscriptions had been made.
 "We believe that the carrying o', of this plan is going to be beneficial not only in helping the cotton situa tion and the foreign exchange situa tion, but also by promoting the gen eral prosperity of the country, whicl now has such an impetus that i would be difficult ot retard it," sai: the secretary.

Paris. Nov. 17.-Ypres today was the object of renewed and violent at- tacks by German forces of artillery and infantry, the attacks being dl- rected from the east and from the south. Temporary gains were enjoy ed by the invaders, several of the ad- vanced British and French positions being occupied for a few hours but the close of the day saw the Germans repelled and the allies line intact with the situation unmodified.
 From the Yser to the Mouse today the Frnech made progress wherever they attacked, according to official communications from the war onice: The allies have advanced at dinerent points along the 300-mile battle front during the past AS hours: At Hetsas on the Yser. at point between Armi. entierres and Arras, in the vicinity or vailly, in thu Argonne and on the heights of the Mouse.
 The left of the allies line was the scene of peculiar and important activ- ities. h, the Argonne region the French withdrew several days ago from a series of trenches occupying an advance position. Before quitting them the engineers mined the en- (trenchments, concealing the wires which controlled them and which led to the rear positions which the Ferncn took up after their withdrawal. The Germans advanced and occupied the abandoned trenches, whereupon the mines were exploded and the German
 attachments badly cut up.

 The Germans are making their last

 as barracks by the garrison of town. l The Germans were driven from this in such haste that they left consider able equipment in their quarters.
 Across the inundated region be- tween Nieuport and Dixmude today lthe Germans continued furious can nonading, if anything more vigorous than any during the previous days, 1 but the effect was practically nil. In

Villas Actions Suspicious and Bryan May Have Been
 Misled, Says Hearst.
NO WORD COMES
 FROM LEADERS
Stniee Department in Doubt as to Im- mCdiate Action Mexico May Ask FJcpt'S Withdrawal When
 Troops Leave.

Confusing reports come from MeXi- co concerning the success of the Villa troops in their march on Mexico City. In direct conflict are two dis patches, both based on official in- formation. From Villa sources comes the claim that Villa forces occupied without opposition the town of Quere- taro, a position commanding the aD- breaches to the Mexican capital and of great value because of it's import ance as railroad center. Carranza headquarters declare that Queretaro is strongly held by 40,ooo men to block Villas advance.
 Washington, Nov. 17.--Lack of news from General Villa today kept the state department in doubt as to lm- mediate peace in Mexico.
 Not word came from Carranza, Villa of Guitterez. The state depart mont. while assured that peace is to oe restored by the withdrawal oi Villa and Carranza, has no direct in- formation.
 The rosy hues of peace in Mexico up to today have been due to telegrams sent here by Paul Canova. John K Silliman, Paul Fuller George Caro- thers and other agents of Secretary Bryan, who, 1t is pow intimated, took for granted what they Saw in Mexi. can papers, These papers published statements that every authority II Mexico was going in for peace ane that there was no further need fol American troops or ships in and around Mexico. It appears that Secretary Bryan'i men did not reckon with Genera Villa as the upknown factor dominat ing the whole convention, and thai he has given no guaranty.
 The withdrawal of the navy al Tampico has become matter Of ex treme doubt. Secretary Daniels o the navy department has given no in structions for the homecoming Of tho vessels now in Mexican waters. ant it is understood that no orders vii be given them until after confer ence with Secretary of War Garrison and the final disposition of Genera Funston and his land forces.
 It is expected that if the state de partment yields absolutely to the pres sure of General Villa and the Vills generals in sending the troops out or November 23. then will come an i'm mediate demand that the United State' send it's ships out of Mexican waters.

ship's Boat Compelled to withdraw From Bay of
 Smyrna by Fort Fire.
uARSHIP'S CAPTAIN
 WILL ENTER HARBOR
r.nnesspe,s Commander Notifies Turk. ,sh Governor He Had Orders to Enter and Proposed to Obey.
 Turks Flee.

london Nov. 17.-An Exchange tolagram from Athens states that yes- tordav morning launch from the American cruiser Tennessee, which was anchored at Vurla, in Asia Minor, ondeayored to enter the gulf of Smyr- na to arrange with the authorities for the cruiser to enter the harbor. The forts opened fire on the American lannch and forced it to return to the ship.
 The commanding officer of the Ten nessee then informed the governor that he had orders from his govern ment to enter the harbor and that he had decided to execute the orders.
 At the time this dispatch was sent no further action had been taken, either by the Tennessee or by the forts.
 An earlier dispatch from Athens received by the Havas agency said:
 "The American warship Tennessee has arrived at the port of Wurla to put a stop to the ill-treatment of the British, French and Russian residents. The authorities of Smyrna, fearing a bombardment, have departed for the interior. The garrison at Smyrna at present consists of 25,000 Turkish soldiers"
 Vurla is one of the forts guarding thesentrance ;. to the bay of Smyrna. ; It is about 25 miles from the town of Smyrna, and commands the narrow passage of the entry from the gulf. As Vurla itself is in the gulf the above dispatch probably refers to the Ten nessee's desire to pass Vurla and en- ter the bay of Smyrna instead of the gulf of Smyrna as stated.
