81 DEAD; e5 STILL MISSING
SEQ Entombed in Mine Due to Under
ground Explosion at Royalton, III.
FLAMES Raging in Entries.

Royalton, H., Oct. 2S.-A total of
81 dead is shown in the casualty list
issued by officials of the Franklin
Coke and Coal company, at whose
mine near here 300 men were en-
tombed.
The heavy decrease in the number
Of dead estimated earlier is accounted
for by the registration of scores of
miners who had ESCAPED during the
day, but who were too busy assisting
in the rescue work to answer to the
roll call of rescued.
Twenty minutes before the explo-
sion BAG men went into the mine, only
the last cagoful Of the day force re-
naming on the surface.
The exact number of men still in
he mine is unknown, and estimates
range from So to 105. While some res
cuers reported they colld find no fire,
experienced miners declared fire was
yaging in two entries and that there
is no hope OF rescuing alive any Of the

5000 GERMANS GAVE LIVES
CROSSED YESR, HOWEVER, AS
THEY WERE BID BY COMMANDER

London, Oct. 2S-Shot down by the
the hundred, drowned i'm platoons, bay
onetted by the score. the German suf
fered the gre test slaughter of the war
in crossing the User river, according
to the correspondent of the Daily Mail
With orders from the general staff to
get over at all costs, the kaisers de-
voted troops literally filled tn stream
with their bodies before they succeed
ed crossing. Last Friday night seven
separate attacks were repulsed by the
allies The correspondent says:
1.-THE crossing of the User estab-
lished new bloodshed record for the
midnight and dawn, seven attempts
were frustrated by terrific machine
gun and rifle fire, but the Germans
burst across. There was no stopping
them
THE bloodiness and fierccIess Of
the fighting was evident from the
number of men on both sides suffer
ing from bayonet wounds. The geo.
graphical position of the fight has not
altered much. The Belgians put in an
immense amount of work.
There were $500 German bodies in
the User canal Sunday after the fight
ing in the night Many of them were
drowned and other were boyanetted.
The very water itself was bloody,
while DiXmude's streets were strewn
thick with the dead.
Saturday night was hell from
dark to dawn. The Germans had or
ders to get through that night, cost
what it might. Probably 5000 of them
gave their lives Saturday night. They
crossed hte water, however, as they
were bid.
when Sunday broke the dead and
wounded were everywhere. DiXmude
was cemetery, but in the woods not
far away the Germans still fingered.
They held position under desperate
fire and eventually were reinforced
The allies could not Gust them, and
the Germans are still across the User,
but at a total costs of at leasts 5000
lives.

Larger Credits Can Conse-
quently Be Extended
by Banks.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The IL Fed.
eral reserve banks of the new banking
system will be opened for business on
Nov. 16. This has just been an
nounced officially.
McAdoo Selects Date.
Secretary McAdoo, authorized by the
currency act to name the opening date,
made the announcement. His choice
of the sixteenth was made despite the
fact that the directors and governors
of the IL banks in recent conference
here voted 81 to 35 against opening
on that date and expressed their pref
erence for Nov. 80.
In a statement issued the secretary
made it clear that under the new sys
tenn the Federal Government will be
able by deposits from the general fund
of the treasury in reserve banks to
aid producers of staples. The new re-
serve requirements, operative after
the banks are opened, he pointed out,
will release more than $400,000,000
of money now held by national banks
as reserves, and will add greatly to the
loanlng power OF the bank.
Statement in Part.
The statement, in part, follows:
II have determined to announce on
Nov. 16, 1914, the establishment of the
Federal Reserve Banks in all the Fed.
eral Reserve Districts. On that date
the new reserve requirements for Ma.
tional Banks, as prescribed by the act,
will become operative.
81 am impelled to this decision par.
ticularly because of the emergent con.
ditions in the South and the confident
belief that the prompt opening of the
Reserve Banks will be very helpful to
the Gotten situation and to general
business in all sections of the country.
Board Is Consulted.
"This conclusion has been reached
after a thorough discussion with my
associates on the Federal Reserve
Board, who are cooperating cordially
with me, and also after full considera.
ton of the views expressed by the Di
rectors of the Federal Reserve Banks
at their recent conference in Washing.
ton with the Federal Reserve Board.
Il am fully aware of the physical
difficulties that must be overcome to
set the Reserve Banks in motion by
Nov. 16, but the directors of these
banks represent the highest degree of
American banking ability, and | am
sure that not only can they meet the
situation, but that they will cheerfully
take up the task in the same fine
spirit of public service which animal.
ed their discussions at the Washing
ton conference.
War Bill Restores Parity.
CAS- the result of the enactment of
the War Revenue Measure the parity
between receipts and disbursements
of the Treasury soon will be happily
restored. This will make it possible
for the Treasury to render still great
er service than it has already render
ed in helping the financial situation
in the South, and in other parts of the
country where the needs appear"

Many Women Spies Shot.

In the North of France, Oct. &c.
No lists or ven figures are officially
disclosed, but the shooting of spies
takes place daily and nearly as many
owmen have been shot as men. The
most seasoned veteran loathes the
task of shooting women, but accord
ing to the laws it must be done. They
are lined up with the men, often mere
girls or women of refinement at the
zenith of their charm and beauty, who
give their lives for their country and
meet death as bravely as any man.

as Yet.

London, Oct. 2S-Very serious bat

result. The Russians, however, have
crossed the Vistula river north of
Ivangorod, with a fresh army corps,
which should have marked effect
on the result Of the battles.
The Russians appear, from their
own account, to be breaking down the
resistance of the Austrians south of
Przemysl and throughout Galicia,
where fighting of the most stubborn
character has been going on for
Weeks.

Anti-Austrian Sentiment.

Rome, Oct. 26.-Before an audience
of several thousand people Signor Bat
tisti, the Socialist deputy from Trent,
Austria, pictured what he said were
the frightful conditions in the Italian
provinces under Austria. He urged
that Italy free them.
The deputy lauded Emperor Nichol-
as for his offer to liberate Austrian
prisoners of war who are of Italian
descent. This called for great
demonstration in which the emperor
was loudly cheered.
