called Sound steamship lines which ply in Long Island Sound and run from New York to most of the ports along the lower New England coast. In the agreement the question of the retention of those lines is left to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 The features of the agreement which the bill is expected to follow are:
 That the New Haven be required to divest itself from the control of the Boston and Maine railroad; that it give up it's holdings in the Con necticut and Rhode Island trolley lines and the Berkshire trolley lines, and it's minority and interest in the Eastern Steamship corporation. A request will probably be made that until this minority interest is sold the New Haven be restrained from ex- ercising any voting power on this eastern steamship stock.

such prominence in the financial and business world and the outcome of these proceedings may determine the value of the Sherman law as criminal statute.
 To the civil suit the New Haven is not expected to make any strong re- sistance. Except possibly an attempt to prevent the state of Massachusetts from intervening to preserve certain rights it holds with respect to the Boston and Maine
 In the governments bill the New Haven will be charged with being the monopoly in control of New Eng lands transportation and with being a combination in restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman law.
 The department is expected to ask for more than it hoped to get through it's agreement for a peaceful disso- lution of the system made with Chairman Elliott and the New Haven attorneys last March
 It is said tonight that there will be at least two features in the bill not included in the agreement One will be a request that the court sep arate the New Haven from the old New England railroad acquired many years ago and which runs from BOs- ton through Williamantic, Hartford and Danbury, Conn, to a point on the New York Central about fifty miles from New York

SEIZURE Of SHIP
TEST OF U.S.LAW
Capture of BrindilIa Expected
to Show Validity of Reg

HALIFAX. Oct. 2O.-No legal pro-
ceedings were expected today in the
case of the American tank steamer
Brindilla, seized as a prize of war and
towed here by a British cruiser on
Sunday.
1t was explained that the solicitors
employed by the British admiralty
have not had time to prepare the
necessary papers. The Brindilla was
recently transferred from German to
American registry.
Local attorneys generally believe
that this case will be onoe of the most
important ever decided in inter-
national law, and that the validity
of the transfer and also the validity
of the congressional act by which the
United States provided for American
registry for foreign-built and foreign
owned ships will be tested The
British prize crew remained on board
the Brindilla today, but the steamer
has not yet been handed over to the

ST. MIHIEL, France. via Metz,
Berlin, The Hague and London
Fighting day and night from deep
trenches whose wonderfully effective
entanglements of barbed wire, steel
sharp pointed rods and sharp pointed
stakes are almost touching, thousands
of men comprising the German left
and the French opposing wing seldom
see each other Probably never be-
fore has there been staged battle
sc Electrically set as is being pre-
scented on the line of battle which runs
wave shape for miles through dense
forests, over and around high hills
and across deep valleys, traversed
with fast running streams of water.
The French stubbornly contest
every attempt on the part of the Ger
mans to advance. Lines of trenches
are extended a foot at a time. The
thousands on each side dig themselves
in like field moles. They cover their
every movement. Even the guns are
hidden and their location cannot be
ascertained by the opposing forces as
their smokeless powder leaves no
trace and in the open country the
trenches are so constructed as to be
invisible to any aviator unless he flies
very low.
When he does fly low he seldom re-
turns to report. But there are al
ways volunteers on both sides to at
tempt it. They go out and most of
them are killed. A few are captured
alive and they are treated with the
consideration their daring demands.
The hills and valleys constantly re-
verbrate with the booming Of hidden
cannon. Many OF the shells are vast

FIFTH OF BELGIAN
PEOPLE DRIVEN
FROM COUNTRY
500, 900 Out of Population of
7,ooo,o 900 Expatriated
by War.

LONDON, oct. 20.4,The plight Of

in Holland, England and France il

even in countries already distraught
Dy the horrors Of war.
Figures are necessarily vague but
a conservative estimate Is that 1,500,-
900 Belgians out of population Of
100000 have been expatriated. Lord
Gladstones committee says that TO-
900 arrived in London during the past
week, and the Women's Relief com
mittee. which sent a ship to Holland
last week, reports that in eight cities
oil Holland the refugees number near
ly 100000: In other words they are
more numerous than the native pop
Glations.
The F'ilkcstone committee alone has
the names of 10000 refugees on its
lists, some among them having little
money and only a few having winter
clothing. Folkstone already has es-
tablished a maternity home and two
hospitals which are well filled.
There are many gentle folk among
these fugitive Regians who are not
used to labor and who accept charity
reluctantly. The London COMMITTEES
has twenty-seven Sub committees in
different cities In England. Scotland
and Wales and these organizations
are placing refugees In homes as fast
as they are able.

clear; until a treaty is made, not on a
scrap of paper, but ON a foundation
behind which stand the millions of the
British race

confidence in the leadership of John
Redmond and to indorse the action of
the Irish party in supporting 1.-The
war of the allies against Prussian
militarism"
Mr.. O'Connor said that for this
fundamental and supreme principle
the British had fought on hundreds
of battlefelds. What they had
claimed and won for themselves they
also claimed for other countries and
would help other countries win.

CASH FOR

Francis E. Drake, of Paris, Asks
for Aid for NeuiIly In

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.--Fresh from
the battlehelds of the Aisne and the
Marine Francis e. Drake. vice-presi-
dent of the American Chamber of
Commerce in Paris, has arrived in
New York to solicit aid for the
American Ambulance Hospital at
Neuilly, which has elected the adj
miration of all Europe. Mr.. Drake
will begin a tour today of the
prominent cities east of the Missis-
sippi to organize local committees to
further this work. It is typical of
the whole movement that Mr.. Drake
is paying his own expenses for the
trip.
I'VE have $4,000, or have raised
a fund of that amount by individ-
ual subscription" said Mr. Drake.
I'VE are anxious to increase that
total to 100000. With that amount
we shall be able to carry along the
work of the hospital for year to our
full capacity. As 1t is now, we have
400 beds established, but we have
room for 1000, and there is need for
them all. Contributions may be sent
to j. p. Morgan & Co., who are act
ing as bankers for the hospital, even
to the transmission of money by
cable, without fees would like to
lay stress upon the fact that. trans
missions of contributions are so fire.
quent that the contributor may be
assured that within few hours
after he has given his money, 1t is
in actual use relieving the sufferings
OF the wounded.
Another thing about it which I
think Americans should be proud of
is that 1t is an absolutely neutral in
stitution, accepting aid from no gov
eminent and treating theywounded of
all the combatants without excep-
ton. At the present time we have
under treatment soldiers from every
nation engaged in the war save Rus.
