FEAR OF AERO RAIDS
CAUSES OIL ATTITUDE
Britain Will Insist that American
Product Be Not Reshipped
70 German

The fear that Germany will get indi-
rectly from the United States supplies of
oil for use in. its aircraft and army motor
trucks is still agitating the English pub
lie, according TO information received
here.
As a result, 1t now seems probable that
shipments of American oil to the neutral
countries in the vicinity of Germany for
some time to come will be most carefully
scrutinized by the British who control
the North Sea. The British government,
responsive to public agitation over the
fear Of aircraft raids upon England, is
determined to exercise to the full its
rights as a belligerent on the seas in
order to prevent If possible supplies OF
oil reaching Germany.
The State Department is endeavoring
to maintain for American shipping and
exporting interests the fullest freedom Of
trade with the neutral countries sur
rounding Germany.
The provisions OF the declaration of
London form the basis for discussion.
Great Britain desires to maintain the po-
sition that II they can prove conditional
contraband. such as oil. is destined for
Germany. they will have the right to
seize II Just as IL II were absolute contra
band. To enforce their arguments on this
point, the British have gone back to the
American civil war, and confronted the
United States with its own arguments
at that time, when the Washington gov
ernment took the view with regard to
shipments to the Southern States via the
Bahamas which the British government
Is now taking respecting shipments to
neutral countries adjoining Germany.

The heaviest casualties suffered by the
Germans have been among their gun
squads, which have been annlhllated at
a number OF positions by the French

guns.
Fleet showing Activity.
There still remains another force for
Germany to throw into the gigantic con-
flict Of the battle OF Flanders. That is
the German navy.
Today reports were received in London
that the Kalser's fleet already Is show
ing signs Of activity. 1t is reported that
scout cruisers have been signted op-
Grating from Heligolsnd, while from
points on the Holland coast II is rumored
that all the crews have been recalled TO
haven and KIel harbors.
On land the German general staff is re-
ported to be employing great forces Of
sap9ers and prisoners under the direc-
ton of the engineers TO make the roads
passable SO that the artillery can move
forward with the long range pieces neces-
sary to meet the fire OF the allies guns.
The Germans apparently are trying al
whatever cost to break the allies lines
at some point on this front and from
the rear regiment upon regiment is being
hurled forward, utterly regardless OF tho
tremendous loss suffered. During the
past week II Is estimated that the Ger
mans have lost 1000 in killed and
wounded on this field alone.

COTTON DRAFTS DRAWN
ON SOUTHERN SENATOR
Hoke Smith Embarrassed by Growers.
Who Err in Interpreting His Re
marks Concerning Crops.

An explanation of Senator Hoke Smiths
insstent demand for legislation to re-
lieve the cotton planters was made yes
terday by one Of his colleagues. who
says Senator Smith has been embarrassed
by drafts drawn on him by the cotton
planters, accompanied by bills of ladtng,
which have become SO numerous within
the last few days that they are en-
barrassing. The Senator could not pay
all of these demands to purchase cot
ton, even II he would, and he is not
disposed to do so.
The action OF the cotton men. who
are drawing on the Georgia Senator, is
said to be due to a statement he made
in his campaign for the nomination in
which he practically guaranteed that the
planters would receive Il cents for their
cotton. In some way the report got
abroad in Georgia that Senator Smith
had said that he would buy cotton at
u cents and that the planters might
draw on him IL the price dropped below
that figure.

WOUNDED DUKE PROUD FATHER
CrOy Heir Born While Head OF
House Lies in ROspItaI.

Berlin. Oct 4-The Duke Of Croy, who
married Miss Nancy Leishman and who
was reported killed in action in France,
was only wounded and is recovering. As
the duke lay in the field hospital news
was brought to him that he was the
father of a fine boy. the birth of the
heir being almost coincidental with the
wounding of the duke.
News Of the wounding Of the duke was
received with much interest here by the
friends Of the former Miss Leishman, as
it indicated he had been restored to his
rank in the imperial guard, from which
he resigned because Of the opposition Of
his family and the German court to his
marriage with the daughter OF the then
American Ambassador to Germany, John
G. A. Leishman.

BANKERS AGREED
ON COTTON LOAN
Federal Reserve Board Ten
tatively Approves $l35,-
100000 Fund.
HOPE TO OPEN UP TRADE
Believed that Increased Exports Will
Give U. S. Credit with Britain to
Wipe Out Indebtedness.

Substantial progress in the adjustment
OF money exchange in the business rela-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain was made yesterday when
the Federal Reserve Board gave its ten
tative approval to proposed plan to raise
a loan aggregatinG $125. 100000 to relieve
the situation in the cOtton-producing
States OF the South.
At the same time, Sir George Paish
and Basil B. Blackett. representatives Of
the British treasury. who came to the
United States by invitation of Secretary
McAdoo. continued their conference with
the Federal Reserve Board relative to
the plans proposed for dealing with the
present Indebtedness of the United
States to Great Britain.
officials here last night are in an opti-
mistic frame Of mind over the outlook.
They believe that the tentative cotton
loan will go through, resulting in a
stimulation in the price of the product
and they are hopeful that this will re-
the cotton exchanges of Great Britain
and the United States. They point to
another favorable development This is
the marked increase in the export busi-
ness OF the United States.
In addition. the officials appear to he
of the opinion that with the increase in
the export trade, 4 credit will be estab-
Iished with Great Britain that will enable
the United States to discharge its obli-
cations to that country, maturing about
January Is, approximating anywhere from
S2OO. 900 900 to 500, 10000 Further relief
is expected when the Federal reserve
system becomes operative. This will
make available for credits gold that ma
be used in the international trade foot
ing up to about $50 900. according to
estimates that have been made by the
authorities
bears o Per Cent Interest.
II the cotton loan goes I. rough as pro-
posed here yesterday, subscriptions will
be made to it by the New York bsSlks,
banks in noncottOn producing States,
and banks in on-growing States. 1t
is proposed that the loan shall bear 6
per cent interest. and that it shall be
administered by committee OF the Fed
eral Reserve Board. The proposed loan
is to run for a period of one year, with
the privilege OF renewal for a period Of
six months.
1t is assumed that the New York bank
ers will subscribe 100000; that bank
erS in neutrality-suspicious. States will
subscribe an additional $50 OOOO. 600 and that
the remainder will be contributed by the
South.
In addition to the loan it was brought
out in one of the conferences yester-
day that within sixty days a syndicate
may be formed in Great Britain for the
purpose Of buying SlOOODO,OOO worth Of
cotton. This supplementing the proposed
pool in this country would relieve the
situation still further. in the Onion OF
the officials. An alternative plan also
is under consideration. In British quar-
ters. This involves the purchase of cot
ton by British operatives on short time
notes.

The great dirigible circled above the

the coast at full speed, giving the Ger

and coming back, let go their port bat

up between the houses and in the gaps
between the dunes along the shore.

The guns Of the Germans had been per
mitted to fire just four shots.

From the British warships a landing
party with one machine gun was sent
ashore to capture the guns. German
sharpshooters lying in the sand dunes
shipped them and a British lieutenant
and number of marines were killed or
wounded. Only a handful OF the British
force got back TO the warships
