Financial Agents Here Debate With U. s. Treasury Depart ment0n Means Of Easing For eign Exchange Condition

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2O.-lnterest in financial affairs centered chiefly in Washington where were further between representatives Of the British finance minister and officials of the United States treas ury.
 Some prominent banking interests of the country were participants and the outcome of negotiations is ex- pected to have a direct bearing not only on existing foreign exchange conditions, but also on the reopen ing of New York and London stock exchanges.
 A hitch is reported relative to the proposed cotton pool and the chief obstacle is said to be the disinclina- ton Of the federal reserve board to assume full responsibility for the pro jeet on the ground that other more pressing duties are now before it.
 A decline in exchange on London is generally associated with the re- cent heavy foreign demand for our commodities Advices from Chicago yesterday are that grain exports will be a record breaker

 pany Will Close DoWn-Will Continue Development Work

Co-incident with the laying of of a part of the men in the Shattuck-Ari- zona properties yesterday the report that the mine will completely close down reached the streets. and caused consternation among miners, and ma ny others interested in the welfare of the company and Bisbee. However according to the statement of the management yesterday evening, there will be no closing of the mine, and de- velopment work will be continued.
 Forty-five of the men who had been employed at the mines since the out break of war in Europe were yester- day laid off It is understood that the future will see the laying of of a few others. how many could not be found out last evening. However, from the statement obtained from the mines superintendent it is assumed that the future curtailment of employees will be light
 
 she mine, on the other hand, will be definite There will be little or no ore shh,pd. except that encountered and removed in the course of the fut- ure development work and explora- ton which the management announc- es will be carried on uStil a time a. gain comes for active mimNg
 The action comes as a direct result of the meeting of the directors os the company held early this month at which time it was decided to pass the dividend Of the company.

Germans Are Meeting Opposition
 In Attempts To Shorten Lines
 And In EndeavOrS To Move To Closer Cities On Eng. Channel

FROM BATTLE FRONT, Oct 20 German invaders are meeting with vigorous resistance in their effort to shorten their lines and rest their right wing further southwestward up- on the English channel Much fight ing has been done in the obscurlty of fogs
 French marines gave a good ac- count of themselves yesterday when thick fog covered the entire region. Marines accustomed to such weather conditions, crept toward the German trenches and got within thirty feet before seen. Their coming was her aided too late for the defenders. who were bayoneted in the trenches as they ran. Four hundred German pris- oners were taken.
 An important position near the elbow of the line was taken and re- taken frequently in the last three weeks. The French held the position for the twelfth time for ten hours when a German battering ram of troops forced the French back Ger mans began fortifyng but @ deafen- ing explosion followed. French had mined every foot of the ground dur ing the ten hours It is estimated three German battalions were anui- Inflated.
 The strength of the German posi- tion north of Rove, which has facili- tated their movements toward Lille is explained by the fact that they are occupying an unfinished canal as far as Reisel Germans found in the deep broad cutting magnificient entrenchments in which they only had 10 install artillery galleries.
 Officers Of the allies say they noted only about forty per cent of the shells from these guns explode. They also say the prodigality Of the fire from them apparently depleted Ger mans supply of ammunition, as the intensity of the fire has lately dimin- ished
 French artillerymen are SO careful in getting ranges that they waste few shells. In an artillery duel near Armentieres they fired half a day into thickets that were abandoned some time before When the French three-inch guns finally got range. twelve shells silenced the German battery

With the arrival in Naco yesterday of Ramon Sosa. peace commissioner from Aguas Calientes. 1t became ap- pearant again that attempts to re- concile the two chiefs of the war in Sonora state are fruitless, and that the battles about Naco are to conti- nue until one CT the other has con- quered. Hill immediately announced on the arrival of Sosa that he will not recognize that commissioner as he is 9 friend of Maytorena, and furth- CT that he will refuse to recognize any commission or commission form of government which which is disas- sociaJed with Carranza
 On the other hand Maytorena ap- pearaatly recognized the order for an armistice yesterday, and during the whole of the day consistently re- refrained from firing many shells At no time were his troops active, though several times the outposts engaged the Hil men for short vol ley firing
 Hill was elected supreme com mander of the forces of Sonora state. with Gales as supreme commander of the forces of the North, when to- day, in the beleguered city, the sold iers of the Hill army held an election for tho choice of their leader and ruler,
 The election will give the com manders of the opposing forces furth- CT ground for a struggle. since May torena already claims the distinction of being the supreme commander of the state, and will furnish Hill and Maytorena still further ground for declaring their revolution independent of the remainder of the United States of Mexico as each of the generals is already purpOrted to have declared.
 Maytorena yesterday received two additional three-inch field pieces which were accompanied by mex pert artilleryman. Hill has enroute from the east several pieces of the same sizes, which are due to arrive in the border city this morning With field pieces on each side, and with Hill strongly entrenched inside the city, the battle will take on even more the appearance of a siege.
 There was little battleing yester- day, and during the whole of the day comparative peace prevailed

be larger than that OF last year.
The meeting will, therefore, be
held from September 22nd to

a review OF the replies shows
the greatest demand to be for

Other subjects called lor are
fertilizers cultivation. the use OF
dynamite in the groves, fruit
maturity. orchard heating and
the marketing OF fruits.
Owing to the seriousness OF
the citrus canker situation in
the state. this disease will re-
ceive especial attention on the

OF this disease to be a fungus
will demonstrate the fungus
and exhibit specimens OF the dis
ease showing its different stages
OF development. He has iso-
lated the fungus and has it
growing in pure culture. By
inoculating it into healthy trees,
he has been able to produce the
