found a ground which to fight for the in
of the dear people against the handed
methods of the city commission in trying to undo
privately owned public service corporation which their
paid tatve has publicly stated makes annual
profit Of $4,000.
The Evening Herald in rather lengthy editorial in
which they have separated the "sheep from the goats
among the municipal ownership advocates takes up
cudgle and cunnngy makes the suggestion of whether
the proposition 's feasible if practical. will
pay"
It is longer question Of feasibility, practibility

decided contrary to the statements made by the Public
Service magazine monthly periodical published in the
interest of privately owned utilities

of municipal ownership. The last time being at the
municipal election when they voted in favor of
issuing 100000 In bonds not to purchase, but to

COTTON MEN 0F
 SOUTH GIVEN
 FINANCIAL AID
BANKERS WILL RAISE FUND OF s3o,ooOooo FOR
 GROWERS.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct 25- Financial relief has been assured 1he cotton growers or the South who were threatened with heavy losses by the European war, which has de- moraliZed the markets of the world.
 At conference held yesterday be- tween the members of the Federal Banking Reserve board and the rep resentatives of various banking con would raise a fund of $30,000 900 which will be loaned to the cotton growers.
 If relief had not been forthcoming, the cotton growers of the South would have lost heavily. and their losses might have promoted serious financial panic. The growers must borrow heavily to harvest their crops, but the commencement of the war has threatened to stop their sales for an indefinite time. It is realized that as soon as conner cial relations are established with the warning countries in Europe, the demand for cotton will be greater than ever, for the scarcity of money there will make people use cheap cotton clothing instead of woolens.
 Tho cotton harvest season has started in some localities, and will be at it's height in some of the dis tricts in a few weeks. Thus money will be needed in a short time to pay harvest expenses.
 Financial reports in this morning s newspapers state that bankers have agreed to make loans on cotton to the amount of six cents a pound.

GREAT NAVAL
 BATTLE REPORTED.

LONDON. Oct. 25-Off the coast of France, in the Straits of Dover is reported to be an important naval battle in progress. Advices from France state that the battle is highly picturesque, for the German battleships are being aided in the fight by German Zeppelin airships which are dropping shells upon the British warships.
 But little details of the fight have been received here, and it is are engaged. It seems that the activity of the British warships in throwing shells inland to aid the al lies in keeping the German lanl forces back. caused the German fleet to hurry to the scene. From the shore the spectators are unable to determine which ships are getting the better of the fight. for the war vessels cannot be identified at so great distance. The Zeppelin airships are now doing what is be- lieved their most effective work.
 The Germans seemed to have been in fear of a trick on the part of the British before the fighting started, for they are guarding the lighthouses. It is believed here that the Germans were fearing that the British would land marines in the sand dunes near the lighthouses on the coast of Holland, and would pre- vent the entrance of ships to Ant WerD

Alexander Leaves
 For the War Today

w. L. Alexander, who has receiv- ed word that he is wanted for the English army, will leave this morn ing by way of the trail for Van couver, B. C., where he will enlist for active service in Europe. As he will have to pay his own way until he gets to Vancouver, he will be given a ride over the first AZ miles of the trail.
 Gus Utberg has promised the use of his automobile to take Alexander as far as Munson's roadhouse, from which place he will mush to the coast. Fred Van Raes, linotype oper- ator for The Citizen, will drive the Utberg machine to Munson's roadhouse, and will return this eve ming.
 Alexander had some exciting war experiences in Mexico last winter where he was taken prisoner twice. but made good his escape.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-That the Democrats are certain to have a majority of the members in the house of representative is assured, regard less of how the doubtful states may go. The Democratic majority in the house it is estimated will be between 15 and 45. It is conceded that Uncle Joe" Cannon will be elected. There will be total of 32 senators to be chosen by popu- lar vote throughout the United States.
 The New York World in an article published this morning, estimates that the Republicans will gain 50 members in the lower house in the November election.

What seems to be an appal- ling naval battle off the French coast. in the Straits of Dover, is reported from London and Paris. Only scant details of the engagement have been received but it is supposed that the B Itish ships which have been throwing shells inland to aid the allies near Dunkirk, have been attacked by both the warships and ZeppeIns of Germany. The result of the conflict is not in- dicated. The German losses are said to be frightful.
 As usual the reports of the fighting on land are confusing and contradictory, but it seems that nothing of a decisive nature has been accomplished by either side.
 The hardest fighting on land seems to be between the coast and Arras, France, the Germans making d determined effort to gain control of the French coast.
 The Germans are also trying to break through the allies lines near verdun, with the evi- dent intention of marching on Paris second time, but the French report that they have succeeded in keeping the Ger man troops some distance from Verdun.
 Advices from St. Petersburg state that the Germans, who have been driven back for some dis tance in Poland, are preparing to march again on Warsaw, the Polish capital.
 A dispatch from Rome, Italy, states that the Germans have a total of 5,0oo,ooo men in ac- tive service, and 100000 re- serves.

NERDUN IS STILL SAFE.

PARIS, Oct. 25-Verdun is still safe from the advancing Germans, and the war office of this city announces that in all probability the enemy will be unable to get within range of Verdun. The French army has been reinforced in front of the city. and up to the present time the guns immediately in front of the immediate forts have not been used. Verdun is considered one of vantage by both sides at the present time.

ALLIES POSITION IS ENDANGERED.

LONDON, Oct 25. - Counter at tacks that are being made by the Germans in the vicinity of Ipres, is threatening the advance of the allies at that place, and may cost them their position.
 The German troops are pouring q cross fire on the allies there, for they have gained positions on al most opposite sides from that held by the allies The situation seems to be grave, and there is some fear that a large command of the allies will be cut off by the Germans.

GERM ANS WANT Y ERDUN

LONDON. Oct 25.-From infor- nation that has been received here it seems that the Germans will strain every effort to capture Nerdun, which they think will afford them 2 chance to advance once more on Paris. They are evidently looking for weak spot in the lines of the allies. If this can be found, and an advance made once more in the direction of Paris. they will probably force the allies to return to Paris, to protect that city.
