Latin Conference Adopts New Plan.
viii Promote Branch Banks fer
Exchange Of Credits.

Memphis. - Practical preliminary
plans by which 1t is hoped to increase
the interchange Of between
the United States and Central and
South Americans were adopted at the
closing session OF the International
Trade Commerce Of the Mississippi
Valley and the Central West in Men,
phis.
The plans were built from the tam
gled mass of commercial propaganda
which has been thrown up since the
European war upset the worlds COM
mercial equilibrium, but upon the
she'll Of the machine built in the con-
ference the trainers hope to construct
a powerful, driving force which will
capture for the Mississippi Valley its

RE-ENFORCEMENTS RUSHED TO

PETR0GRAD SAYS VICTORY
Struggle Being Waged Over Tremen-
dous Extent of Territory-Claim
Won Hindenburg Is Being
Pushed Back. ,

London-The battle in the region
between the Vistula and Warta rivers
In Poland, appears to have turned in
favor of the Russians. A special dis
patch from Petrograd to Paris says
the Russian army already has won a
decisive victory. While this may be
an -exaggeration, both the Russian and
German official reports suggest that
Gen. Won Hindenburg's second thrust
at Warsaw has been checked.
Grand Duke Nicholas, commandments
chief of the Russian forces, for two
days in succession has recorded par
tial successes. and now the German
general staff says the arrival of Rus
sian reenforcements has postponed a
decision.
Both sides have expressed the great
est confidence in the outcome. Grand
Duke Nicholas and Gen. Won linden
burg heretofore have been so success
full In their strategy that their adher-
ants look upon them as almost IN
beatable.
The German papers were talking OF
. general Russian retirement, despite
the fact that the Russians have been
advancing steadily in Galicia, have
%repulsed the Austro-German attack be-
fore Cracow, hold part of the German
territory in East Prussia and oppose
Gen. Won Hindenburg's advance on
Warsaw.
1t is the same in P~etrograd. All
h correspondents there declare the
Russian numbers must tell when the
Germans have reached the ground on
which Grand Duke Nicholas has chos-
en- to give them battle.

Both great armies are silenced.
Rival battle lines which a week
ago were great towers of strength
waging a titanic struggle for the gain
of a few hundred yards, only to lose
it again as the yanquished of the
mornings conflict by a supreme ef-
fort became the victors with the com
ing of night, remained two impotent
masses. Great numbers were stricken
down before the fury Of a terrific
blizzard which leveled the trenches,
enveloped the big guns and chilled
the marrow in the bones OF the fight
ing men.
Where a week ago singing bullets
and s%hrieking shells bore the fearful
message of death, disease now stalks
as the all-powerful and fear-inspiring
enemy of foe and friend alike.
Thousands of cases Of pneumonia
have been reported from the front.
and every train to the rear from the
allies lines in Flanders and along the
Disc and the Aisne bore great con
tingents of officers and men invaded

The official report from Bordeaux
states merely that there as nothing
notable to announce" This negative
ly confirms the unofficial reports from
the front telling of the terrific effect
of the billiards. The report ordi-
narily contains the developments Of
the current day.
