that Russian troops actually have

These rumors, however, remain with

Thoughtful observers Of the war con-
slider that the increased strength Of

rival OF fresh troops from Hngland

REFUSE CONTRIBUTION

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
LONDON. oct 2l.-One of Lon
don's great department stores has
removed from it's windows it's royal
patronage signs. This Is said to be
due to a royal rcbukc.
This store, where Queen Alexandra
has heretofore done her shopping,
sent a check for 10000 to the
Prince of Wales fund So large a
donation might well be put TO the
credit of It's advertising account in
view of the publicity given II.
However the managers Of tho
Wales fund discovered that the store
dismissed half of its staff, so that
the donation came really not from
the firm, but from its unfortunate
discharged employees Whcreupon the
check was sent back and the royal
patronage taken from the firm

German BRANCH BANKS
IN britain TO PAY OFF
WILL PAY 20 SHIILINGS ON THE
POUND + OCREDITORS OF
BANKS.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
LONDON, oct 24.-Sir W. Plender,
the treasury controller, announces
that the affairs of the British estab-
lishments Of the German banks have
been satisfactorily arranged that
fun 20 shillings in the pound is to bo
paid.
The affairs of the Austrian bank
are not so favorably situated, but
further steps are being taken to ar
range as carly distribution as possi-
BILE.
The official notification under date
Of October 10 is as follows:
The British establishments of the
Deutsche, the Dresdner, the Dsconto-
Geselschaft and the Anglo-Austrian
banks will, on and after Saturday
next, the 17th instant, on the eXpiry
of the moratorium affecting roac-
ceptances, pay the same in full, and
on and after the 31st instant they
will pay 20 shillings in the pound in
respect of other liabilities as when
they mature for payment. No
moneys will be paid to or for the
benefit of alien enemies.
LAS regards the Oesterreichische
Laendcrbank, the funds which are
Immediately available do not permit
of such procedure A large part of
its funds is placed in neutral and
enemy countries where collections
for the time are not possible. The
position has not been created by any
recent abnormal remittances to Aus
tria, and there is no sign, either in
the case Of this bank or Of the other
banks, that any such remittances
were made in anticipation of an out
break of hostilities. Steps are being
taken to relieve the situation as
speedily as possible, and as soon as
distribution can be made by the
Laenderbank, it will be announced
through the press. The liability Of
the head office to creditors remains,
whatever the distribution may be that

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
LONDON, oct. 24.-Charges that
men and boys in England's training
camps are not receiving humane
treatment and that many deaths arc
resulting from bad feeding and poor
shelter are causing great Indignation.
The complaints recall charges Of
criminal neglect that were made
against military authorities response
BILE for conditions at mobilization cen
tcrs in the United states during the
Spanish-A war
Some Of the charges against the
British war office have been put into
specific form A letter written by h.
II. Bailey of bennington Spa, whose
son enlisted from oxford on Scptcm-
Der l9 and died from pneumonia on
the training grounds on Salisbury
Plains, has been made public. From
1t is taken the following story.
I'm the course of his training the
young recruit wrote to his father. on
October he said:
I'VE, of course, are stiff and suffer
from bad feet, but we should not mind
these discomforts If they would only
feed us properly. Today the food was
slightly better, but it was not cooked.
None of us has had a square meal
since we left home nor a cup Of tea.
What they call tea is colorcd water
doscd with salt The clothes they
have given us are rotten and tear at
the slightest strain Al the buttons
hang ON by q thread or two. This
afternoon about one hundred of the
600 that were drilling had their trous-
crs split from end to end"
The following day he wrote on a
postcard:
Am stiu living feeling damp at
night, no board floors In the tents
yet"
The last letter, on October 8, stated:
Regarding the food problem, the
same thing has happened again. The
camp grumblc, and SO would anyone
If they had five hours drill and no

No further letters came, but on Oc-
tober 10 Mr. Bailey received word to
visit his son iu military hospital at
Bristol He was fortunate enough 10
arrive some hours before death oc-
CURED. The boy was full Of gratitude
for the kindness Of the hospital staff,
but bitterly condemned the lack OF
preparation for the men, the damp
tents and scanty and badly cooked
food supply.
This Is but one Of a number OF
deaths in the training camps, and the
proper clothing and housing Of the
men is proceeding all too slowly, ac-

of the Democratic majority in the last assembly

this party is utterly reactionary it will not
