Carnegie Library
Plans Adopted

Architect Choate of Atlanta
was in the city Thursday in con-
sultation with the Library COM
mittees, Messrs. Farmer, J. B.
Wall and Harold Beall. The
plans submitted were adopted
with some minor changes. Com
plete plans will be submitted to
tn e Carnegie Foundation at
Philadelphia as soon as they can
be prepared, for acceptation by
the corporation. The plans call
for building so by 60, two
stories, built of brick and stone
with terra Gotta trimming. The
building will have large read
ing room and stock room, Lee
street, on the ground floor; a
children's reading room and Lii
brarians, office with an entrance
from the north side. The second
floor will contain commodious
lecture room, ladies, reading room
and kitchennette. T h e entire
scope of the building will be for
utility and suitable for the Social
Center of the city educational
activities. A special feature for
the use of the building by out of
town lady visitors, as planned by
the Woman's club is the large
rest room on the first floor, Hav-
ing seen the plans we feel proud
of having been in a position to
locate the building so convenient
for the transient visitors and feel
well repaid for the portion of the
lot that we have donated, so as
to make the down town location
possible for this beautiful and
useful Improvement. Building
operations will begin as soon as
the plans are finally adopted by
the Carnegie Corporation.

s5OO,OOO,OW To Loan
On Farm Mortgages
Comptroller Williams Says
Amount is Available I'm
der Federal Reserve Act.

Washington, June 18 Comp
troller Of the Currency Williams
estimates that about $500, 900, 600
in national banks throughout the
United States is available for
farm mortgage loans under the
provision of the federal reserve
act making it possible for nation
al banking associations to lend
money on improved farm lands.
Scores of inquiries concerning
this provision reach the treasury
department daily and there does
not seem to be a general under
standing that the farm loan
clause of the act is now in force,
and makes it possible for nation
al banks to make farm loans be-
fore the formal organization of
the federal reserve board.
The estimate of Comptroller
Williams is based on reports
showing the capital stock and
surplus of national banks to be
81, 777,0 100000. twenty-five per
cent of this amount, of $444. ESQ.,
600 is available for farm loans.
Furthermore, the federal reserve
act provides that National banks
may grant farm loans up to 33B
per cent of their time deposits.
Banks with large deposits will
be able to far exceed the sum
they could lend on farms under
the Is per cent clause and the
estimate of Mr.. Williams is De-
lieved to be conservative.
Farm loans under this act are
not to be made for longer than
five years, and the amount of
each loan is not to exceed so per
cent Of the actual value of the
farm offered as security.

London, Oct. 13.-11:20 p. m.-De-
tails of the fight at Ratchka, near
Suwalki, Russian Poland, just receiy-
ed in Petrograd Indicate that the bat.
tie to a large extent was a hand-to.
Land encounter between the Cos
sacks and the German troops, and
that the famous Russian cavalry scor-
ed brilliant victory. This statement
is made in a despatch from Reuter- S
Petrograd correspondent. The mes
sage continues:
Between the two forces lay the
river (Rospuda). which the Germans
depended upon to secure them against
attack until it had been bridged. The
Cossacks, however, swan their horses
across the stream and, covered with
slime and weeds, charged furiously
upon the surprised Germans, taking
1000 prisoners and capturing two bat
teries.
THE prisoners were taken by the
Russians into East Prussia Most OF
the captives belonged to the Land
wehr and Landsturm and many OF
the latter were armed with obsolete
rifles. Some dated back to 1880. The
majority of the prisoners were either
under Is or over 40 years of age and
a considerable number of them had
had only one weeks rifle practice be
fore being SEM to the front.

Want Chance to Bury Their Dead
After Slaughter in Ghent Vicinity.
London, Oct. 14.-The following
despatch dated Monday has been re-
ceived by the Central News from Os-
tend:
at Is reported that a heavy en-.
gagement occurred today near Thour-
out "a Belgian town t2 miles south
west of Bruges). The operations
around Ghent have opened favorably
for the allies. The Germans asked
for an armistice to bury their dead
but the request was refused.
advancing confidently against what
they imagined the remnants OF a re
treating Eeigian army, German c..
umn was ambushed south OF Ghent
The German soldiers were moved
down in swaths and a bayonet charge
completed their rout. Some six hun
dred dead were left on the field, while
the allies losses were practically
nothing. The Germans retired pre-.
cipateIy on Alost."
