WOULD AID WAR REFUGEES
Railroads Plan to Locate Them on
American Farms.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-OHcials of rail.
roads operating 100000 miles of lines
in the United States and Canada are
considering plan to provide farms
for the immigrants of Europe who will
come to America at the close of the
war.
The plan was suggested to dele
gates attending the convention of the
Railway Development association. It
provides for the sale of farms at a
low figure and advancing immigrants
enough money to begin operations,
giving them as much time as they de-
sire to reimburse the railroad COM
panies.
"The railroads of the country are
among the largest owners of farm
land" said F. H. Labaume of the Nor
folk and Western railroad, "and it
would be good business for the roads
to adopt the farming proposal for i'm
migrants

Germans Renew At
tack in France.
DESPERATE ATTEMPT
TO REACH THE COAST
Teutons Take Offensive, but Al
lies Meet Their Assaults.

London, Nov. 11.-Figllting on land
proceeds with savage intensity, but
without definite issue on any of the
fields of battle. In Belgium Germany's
renewed attempt to break through to
the English channel has brought on
fearful struggle still to be decided
Along the eastern frontier of Prussia
Germany and Russia lay claim to sue
cesses. In the Near East the Russians
are meeting with unexpectedly sti1 re-
sistance from the Turks.
On the European battlefelds the
fighting is fiercest along the small
strip of Belgian territory In posses
sion of the allies, from the sea to Ar
mentieres, near the French border.
OF the series of desperate assaults
made by the Germans the present is
probably the most severe, since the al
lies have declined to cede the offen'
sive entirely to the enemy and ara
meeting attack with attack.
The French official statement re-
ports that the fighting is especially VI
olent, that the German advanced south
of Ypres, a few miles north Of the
French border, has been checked and
that further to the south the French
have made progress.
Paris advices indicate that else
where along the main battle line the
situation is much the same as 1t has.
been for several weeks.
Allies Hold Their Places.
Along the major part of the battle
front in the western area of the war,
particularly from the canal OF La
Basse as far as the Woevre region,
the allies have made secure the results
attained in the last few days, accord
ing to the French official statement
Military critics in Berlin express
satisfaction with the progress being
made around Ypres and with the re-
pulse of the Delgians who attempted
to drive northward along the coast
highway between the inundated re-
gion and the sea beyond Nieuport. A
renewed attack on Ypres by the Ger
mans is expected.
The phenomenal speed of the Rus
sian advance excites the wonder and
admiration Of the British observers.
1t is believed, however, that the op-
Grafton must be a gigantic cavalry
raid, as the observers assert the Rus
sian infantry and artillery never could
have moved so fast as reports reach
ing London indicate over the poor
roads of Russian Poland.
The Importance attached to the
great battle along the eastern frontier
of Germany is shown in dispatches
from Berlin, which say attention there:
has been turned from the western
scene of action, desperate and mo-
mentous as it is, to the east.
Germany repeats it's claim to an i'm
portant victory over the Russians in
the north, near the scene Of the dis
astrous Russian defeat early in the
war.

GREECE MAY GET INTO WAR
Participate in Conflict Becoming

Washington, Nov. 11.-From refer
ences In official messages to appre-
hension On the part Of Turkish Off
cials that Greece would lombard un-
fortified towns on the Ottoman coast
the belief grew in diplomatic circles
that participation Of Greece in the
general European war is becoming
more probable.

mia have been meager and little light
Russian diplomacy was endeavoring
to persuade Servia to give Bulgaria
section of Macedonia as a boon for
the latter's entry into the war.

PARLIAMENT. OPENS;
MANY ARE ABSENT

London, Nov. IL. - King George
opened what probably will prove to be
a purely war session of parliament.
No controversial political question
will be deliberated, but this does not
mean that entire harmony will pre-.
vail, for the cabinet ministers will be
asked some pertinent and uncomforta-
BILE questions about their conduct OF
various phases of the war.
The most immediate business be.
fore the house of commons will be to
provide sinews of war in men and
money. The recruiting situation may
lead to some steps toward compulsory
service and the $5O0,OO0,O0oO granted
in August, having been practically
spent, further credit of like
amount probably will be proposed un-
der the special war loan act passed at
the last session.
One hundred and five Unionists
were missing from their seats, being
absent in various capacities in con-
nection with the war. while thirty
three Ministerialists are actually at
the front and many others are absent
on government business.
The usual ceremony accompanied
the opening of parliament, the king
making military progress through
the streets from Westminster palace.
But the customary color was lacking.
Instead of the brilliantly uniformed
household guards lining the streets
and forming the escort sober khaki
marked the military features Of the
display.

Battle Way Into Bel
gian Town.
ALLIES REPORT GAINS
ON NORTH SEA COAST
Push Back TeutOnS and 0ccup,
Position Held by Them.

London, Nov. 12.-Coincident with
the news from Petrograd that every
German soldier has been swept from
Russian soil comes whisper of peace
negotiations in the report from the
Russian capital that Berlin has ap-
preached Russia with overtures look
ing toward a cessation of hOstilities.
There is no confirmation of this story
from Berlin and it may be in the
same class with the rumor sent out
from Paris three weeks ago that the
Germans had approached the French
with view to ending hostilities be-
tween the two countries.
The German war machine has bat
tered it's way into the Belgian town
of Dixmude. The official French state
ment contains the admission that the
allies were forced to fall back from
this point Of vantage In the great bat
tie for possession Of the eastern shore
Of the British channel. As an Offset
the French war Office states that the
allies forces have advanced along the
North sea Coat, ppsl. z4g hack the Ger
mans snd taking Lombaertzyde. q
small Belgian town a few miles north
east Of Nieuport.
The warning nations await with
keen suspense the outcome of the
struggle in Belgium, which for the
moment overshadows the conflicts on
the many other fields of battle. From
no other point come reports of i'm.
portant changes in the situation.
New Attack Has Results.
The capture of Dixmude was the
first indication that the new attack of
the Germans, described as their su-
preme effort and as probably marking
a turning point in the war, had
brought definite results. Between Dix
nude and Ypres, which lies to the
south close to the French border, the
fighting has been most intense since
the Germans elected at the opening
of the week to begin the new on
slaught.
On Oct. Is, during the advance on
Ostend, the Germans occupied Dix
nude, but later were compelled to fall
back. The allies gained possession of
the town Temporarily, but their pres
ence there was challenged repeatedly
by the Germans, resulting in some of
the most important and sanguinary
fighting of the war.
The French statement says the al
lies generally were successful in main.
tanning their front in spite of the vic.
lence and strength Of the German at
tacks directed against certain points
Of support between Nieuport and the
Lye river. The French still hold the
approaches to Dixmude and have firm
ly occupied their positions at Ypres,
where desperate battling continues.
Berlin attaches significance to the
latest German official report of good
advances" in the region of Argonnes.
This is the first time such an express
sion has been employed in describing
the fighting in this district.

duce their legal reserve from Is to 10
per cent. At the same time the banks
will be compelled to send to the fed
eral reserve bank three-ffteenths of

the vaults Of the federal reserve bank.
After three,5years all of the reserve
must be held either in the regional re.
serve bank or the banks own vaults.
Under the federal reserve act coun.
try banks will be allowed to reduce

Petrograd, Nov 1.-THE task of
dealing with Turkey in the east will
in nowise cause slackening of the
pressure being exerted along the Ger
man frontier, according to military
authorities here.
Everywhere the advance of the
Russians into East Prussia and POscn
province continues, it is declared

1t is the confident belief here that
the great Russian army will crush its
way through East Prussia, Galicia
and Posen by force of its own weight
of numbers.
Reports from the front declare it is
evident the kaiser is rushing rein
forcements to his eastern front from
Belgium. Men of commands report
ed a week ago to be fighting in
Flanders have been taken prisoners
in East Prussia, it is declared.
An official statement from the war
Office declares the German right flank
in East Prussia, after stubborn resist
ance in the region of Iyck, has been
pushed back toward the Nazour lakes.
Russians also have reached Nikow
in advance toward Cracow. In Ga
licia they have crossed the Wisklow
and occupied Rzhow, Dynow and Lis
ko. Reports to the war Office declare
the Germans are rushing reinforce
ments toward Thorn and Posen.
All railroad lines are given over to
the transportation of troops, which
are being concentrated in the line OF
