Washington, August 14.-Government Insurance against war risks of Amer ican register ships and their cargoes was the solution offered today by 62 representative business men for the stoppage of American over-sea com merce because of the European war.
 The proposal was made in definite form after an all-day conference pre- sided over by Secretary of Treasury McAdoo, who called the meeting. Nir- tually all the largest banking and shipping interests in the United States were represented.
 The conference appoinetd a commit tee of 12, headed by Seth Low, presi- dent of the National Civic Federation, 10 remain in Washington and advise with the governmental departments and committees of Congress during the framing of legislation believed neces- sarN to relieve conditions produced py the war abroad
 Begin Drafting Bill
 The committee tonight began dratt- ing a bill to be presented to Congress Immediately and pressed for passage, with view to having d government insurance bureau in operation as soon as possible after the pending measure modifying restrictions upon American registration of foreign built ships goes into effect.
 In addition to Secretary McAdoo of- fcials who participated in the con ference were Secretaries Houston anu Redfield, all the members of the fed eral reserve board. Senator Owen and Representatives Glass. chairman of the Senate and House banking committees and Representative Adamson, chair man of the House interstate and for eisn commerce committee.
 To insure freedom of discussion the conference was held behind closed doors, but resolutions adopted and some of the proceedings of the conference were made public in a statement to- night by Secretary McAdoo. The state ment declared it to have been the con census of the opinion that with 'en- larged registry of American ships and action by the government supplement. ing what private companies might dc in connection with insurance, the ques tion of exports of grain and cotton ant of foreign exchange would rapidly solve themselves.'
 ]. P. Morgan. James I. Hill and other financiers declared no ships would pasi under the American flag with the pass ~age of the proposed registry law unless their owners were assured of insurance under the stars and stripes. The resul would be a foreign monoply of SC; transportation, they predicted, and tn fixing abroad of the price at whicl American wheat and cotton would b sold.

 Resolved That this conference urg the United States government to estab fish a bureau of war rick insurance, t be administered under direction of suitable government department, whic shall assume the risk of war on Ameri vessels and American cargoe shipped or to be shipped thereon when ever it shall appear that American yes sells or shippers on American vessel are unable to compete on equal term with vessels or shippers of other na tionalities by reason of the protection offered such other carriers or ship pers by arrangements for war indem nifty through their governments

he unanimous that problems to be faced divided themselves naturally into three heads:
 Restoration of market for foreign exchange bills; the immediate acqusi- ton of means of transportation for American wheat and cotton to European markets, and the war risk insurance.
 A committee on war risk insurance appointed by the conference began work tonight on the preparation of a meas ure to present to Congress. Discussion at the conternece left no doubt that the measure was to be purely an emer- gency matter and that the government was to receive premiums on any in surance it might write.
 Addressed By President
 The conference in the afternoon went in body to the White House President Wilson addressed them brifly If We got no. .other benefit out of the present trying circumstances in the world a large.' said the President, I've shall at least get this benefit We shall enjoy period when we meet each other not as members of different par ties but as Americans meeting for a common object
 'l believe you will discover that this government has means for assisting the commercial and industrial operations of the country and that it is worth while to maintain the kind of connec- tion which is here momentarily estab- lished We have been face to face with very critical circumstances. I feel that the period of apprehension has passed. am sure all of us here wish to put ourselves at your disposal, as I am sure you would wish to put yourself at our disposal. to work out a common means or common end. Such a con- ference n fbie frr to f 1,a country that antagonism between gov ernment and business has disappeared. This is a public spirited operation. a thing We shall look back to with pride. We shall remember that America knew how to handle herself in such way as not only to help herself but also to serve the rest of the world"
 Thank President
 The conference echoed the Presi- dents sentimants in it's resolutions, de- claring its high appreciation of the prompt and effective action of the l President and Congress and the Sec | retary of the Treasury in affording a prompt solution of the currency diff culties created by the sudden outbreak of war in Europe.."
 l The resolutions also declared that the present opportunity ito begin the crea- tion of mercantile marine under the Tag or the united states IS so great that this conference appeals to Congress | by immediate and effective Legislation and by necessary changes in our na- litigation laws to make it possible for our citizens without discrimination to l buy and operate ships under American registry in foreign trade on equal com lpettive terms with all other nations" 1 'The National Foreign Trade coun- oil presented resolutions in. support of l government war risk insurance and later advised its members throughout the United States by telegraph of the action of the conference

IS SAVAGE
in WEST FLANDERS

Berlin, Nov. 3.-The fighting on the
northwestern flank is of a particularly
savage character.
A considerable proportion of the
wounded suffer from bayonet thrusts,
which often pass completely through
parts of the bodies Of the men.
The Germans along wide stretches
of the battle front in Northern France
have removed the civilian popula-
tions, thereby stopping the enemy's
main sources of information.
The hostile artillery, which in the
earlier struggles along the Aisne
showed a certain superiority in its fir
ing as a result of this information. is
now working to less advantage.
The Germans are making much use
Of armOred trains, particularly in as
pertaining how far the railroads are

They also are being used to main

COMMISSION TAKES ACTION
Moneys and Credits Will Be Placed
Upon Tax Rolls.

Somewhat of a sensation was ere.
ated by the first move of the state tax
commission in its campaign to place
moneys and credits upon the tax rolls
Of North Dakota.
The commission certified to the
counties Of Cass, Grand Forks, Bur
leigh and Ward more than a million
dollars of escaped taxable personal
property Of the International Harvest
err company. All of this huge assess
mont is made up altogether of cred,
it's. After months of investigation the
tax commission is ready to in
the matter Of taxing this sort of prop,
erty.
This is but the beginning of a cam
paign on moneys and credits, say the
commissioners. They expect to Ger,
tify out millions Of dollars Of escaped
property between now and the end OF
the assessment period, June 1, 1915.
