shipments OF cotton oil to German
territory, If not having q neutral and
a belligerent destination, as destin-
at son is defined in international law,
az TO-. instance in the London conven-

The trouble with the cotton oil sit
uation appears to me to be one of
transportation. growing out of the re-
ported action OF the Holland American
line In decling to accept shipments.
The Netherlands government disclaims
any connection with this action Of the
steamship company, whish Is private

"The department has inquired Of ex-
, porters OF cotton oil II thoy know Of

APPROVES PLAN
FORLOAN FUND
(Ry Associated Prassl

Washington, Oct. 10.-The Federal
reserve board tonight announced it's
approval in principal of the plan for a
$160, 100000 loan fund to take care of
the surplus cotton crop.
Governor Hamlin, of the board in a
letter to- Festus J. Wade, OF st. Louis,
one OF the hackers OF the plan, said
while the board could not express It
self upon details. II was OF the opin-
ion that the just administration OF
such fund would benefit those inter-
ested and the rest OF the nation as
we'll. He expressed the hope that banks
and merchants would subscribe. His
letter follows:

(6y ASSOClAteU freSS.J
Washington, Oct. 10.-Continuing its
policy of forging out a complete code
for regulation OF shipments Of Amer
ican products, not only to neutral but
to beligerent countries, the State de-
partment announced decision relat-
ing to exports OF cotton seed oil. The
decision marks a distinct advance In
the exemption OF semi-contraband
goods from seizure when carried in
American bottoms.
This declaration. In effect. Is that
American trade In cotton seed oil in
neutral bottoms is not subject To seiz-
ure or detention not only when des-
tined for neutral coun. .cfes, but when
shipped to Germany. not intended for
military uses. The British government
has assented to go much of the propo-
s1tion as relates to shipments to Hol-
land Of neutral goods, such as food
stuffs which The Netherlands govern
ment has emtargoed for expectation.
y The departments opinion goes be-
yond the mere matter OF cotton seed
oil and lays down the principle that
cotton Is non-contraband and is not
subject to seizure e.en when shipped
| to beliiserent country, provided 1t is
ON Aemerican or other neutral ships.
Therefore there is no impediment to
the shipmbent OF American cotton to
iamtnrg consigned to German spin
ners. M

London, Oct. 10.-Antwerp and the

even the most powerful forts are no

the invaders have successfully en-
ployed against every fortified place
that stood in their way. These huge
guns open gaps through wich the be-
islcgers find an entrance for their
field artillery and infantry.
The Germans. after Smelling the city
itself for many hours. making it un-
tenable. entered the town through the
suburb OF Berchem. to the cast They
had made q breach in the Outc, line Of
forts, some Of which were destroyed
by their big guns and others blown up

tin, threw shells into the city, which

the worlds series money. And the
prospects for 1914 were not much bright
er at the time the new leagues agents
were after Rariden and Campbell. And
so 1t was not strange that Rariden and
Campbell should jump to the outlaw
circuit with a chance to make moro
money.
But now with the Boston Braves
knocking the props rom under the
Giants and being picked by many to
win the National League flag. it's a
different thing-much different. Rariden
and Campbell groan every time they
pick up a paper and read that Boston
has won another game. A great many
people are picking Stallings' bunch to
con the worlds series, thus getting the
fat end Of the money there. Which
causes Campbell and Rariden more
agony when they think of the glory
and the money which might possibly
have been theirs.
