AZ AssocIArEn PnEss.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Every
available cotton demonstration work
er has been ordered by the agricultu-
raj department into Southeastern
Georgia and Florida to aid in hating
the advance of the Mexican boil wee
vii which has brought pest to the
edge of the valuable sea island cotton
territory. The wind attending the
Galveston storm Of a few weeks
ago is blamed for the surprising adj
vance.
Coming just at the beginning of
the migration period the storm car
ried the weevil from Alabama, sew
enty-fve miles into Georgia, in a few
days. Ordinarily the average is
thirty-five to fifty miles yearly.
For years efforts have been made
to save Sea Island cotton from the
weevil. The lowlands are recognized
as an ideal location for the weevils
to hibernate.

Submarines to
Be Dealt With
by French Many
RY AssocIArRn pREss-

Paris, Sept. 15.-The ministry of
marine announced today that meas
ures had been taken which would en-
able the navy to deal with German
submarines.
The statement was prompted by
the recent activity of submarines off
the coast of France resulting in the
sinking of several steamships. The
ministry states that there is no rea-
son foI alarm at the operations of
submarines near the mouths of the
GiFonde and the Loire.
"All necessary precautions were
taken long ago against the aggres-
sion of German submarines the
statement says. ''The present naval
force near the mouths of the Gironde
and Loire viii be reinforced if neces-
sary but the measures taken against
them in the English channel are SO
efficacious that they may be expected
to be sufficient, and only occasional
isolated aggressions are possible"

ALLIES WILL
GET A BILLION
LOAN
European Commissioners
Meet With Success is
New York.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Sept 15.-America's
billion dollar loan to Great Britain
and France was we'll on the way to
actual accomplishment tonight. To
bankers familiar with pledges Sc
cured by members of the Anglo
French commission an announcement
of the success of the loan would be
decidedly premature, but there was
every indication they said that the
commissions work had met with sue
cess equalling their expectations.
This view reflected the opinion Of
those championing the loan. It did
not coincide with the sentiments OF
those opposing the loan, nor Of the
so-called pro-German financiers here
The loan probably will be divided
in two and possibly four series. The
bonds bear not less than five per cent
and will be payable in dollars.
1t became known today that many
hanks had pledged themselves to take
part of the loan. The amount is un,
known, but is believed to total many
millions.

Late Air Raids
In England Moo
Widely Debated
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Sept. 15.-The London
newspapers editorially and in letters
to the editors, are giving much space
to the recent air raids. Two general
lines Of comment are adopted, one
of gratitude at the appointment of
Sir Percy Scott to take charge Of
the defenses of London from aerial
attacks; the other sarcastic criticism
that some similar steps have not been
taken before.
'sIt Is getting rather hard to keep
up with the Zeppelin visits" says
the Pail Mall Gazette. Lately they
seem to have taken place every night.
There was another on the night of
the 18th and may be later in the day
we shall hear of a raid last night.
Remembering the raids that have
come off, we are apt to forget the
failures. We are inclined to believe
that only little extra luck enabled
the invader to slip through week
ago"
The Globe is arranging a mass
meeting to demand reprisals so that
every raid over an English town shall
be answered by one over a German
town.

Washington Sept. 15.-American
consuls in Northern Mexico have
been advised by the state department
not only to notify all Americans to

Mexico themselves if conditions be-

Obregon's rapid advance into North

lawlessness on the border led to the
measure, officials said.
As soon as Americans withdraw

VESSEL
At PENSACOLA
FOR $4,000
Steamer Strathendrick Held
by Largest Libel Suit
Ever Filed Here.
COMMUNICATED BY
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Charterers Do Not Recog-
nize Right to Break Con-
tract and Libel Ship.

The largest libel suit ever brought
in the United States court here was
filed yesterday by Davis & Fehon,
Ltd, of Sydney, New South Wales,
against the British steamer Strath-
endrick, now in Pensacola harbor, and
her owners, Burrell & Sons of London
The amount claimed is 100000 and
besides Blount & Blount & Carter,
attorneys for the ibellants expect to
secure an order from the Judge of
the North district of Alabama where
by direct action can be brought
against the owners.
Davis & Fehon claim in their dec
laration filed yesterday that they
chartered the Strathendrick for a pc
riod of 2 months and give the rate of
the charter. This contract was af-
fective on January 5, 1914, when
ocean tonnage was at very low ebb,
but the owners, despite the great adj
vance lived up to their contract until
the Strathendrick was Communicated
by the British government and or
dered to service in transporting ma
terial for use in the war.
The steamer came here recently
with a cargo of nitrate of soda and
upon completion of this cargo was
ordered by the British government to
proceed through the Panama canal to
Oregon, there to take on cargo of
Oregon wood. To obey the mandate
Of the government meant to break
contract with the charterers, while
to disobey would make the owners
and ship liable to severe penalty.
The owners decided to break their
contract with the charterers and or
dered the steamer to proceed to Ore
gon. She would have sailed yesterday
but before she could get away the
libel suit was filed in the United
States court. The charterers claim
they will be very heavy losers if the
own s do not keep faith with them
owing to the high freight rates now
prevailing.
The steamer has been unable Il
give the bond required by reason Of
the large amount involved and is helC
here pending further advices from the
owners.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

London, Sept. 15.-Von Hinder
burg's drive toward the Dsinsk- Wilma
railways is not progressing as fast
as the others and except midway be-
tween these towns, where the cavalry
has cut the railroad, he is still being
stubbornly opposed by Russian coun-
ter-attacks. However, he has reached
a point west of the bridge head,
across from Dvinsk, and is preparing
to attack.
The German advance has slowed
along the rest of the line In Ca
licia the Russians are still attacking
According to unofficial reports the
TeuIonic armies are falling back
across the Dniester. Just north of
the Galician border the Russians are
trying to re-capture the fortress Of
Dnbno which the Austrians took last
week.
1t is believed this offensive will
have an effect on the rest Of the line
as the Teutonic forces must risk be-
ing outhanked unless they send rein
forcements. Despite this the Austri-
ans have sent heavy reinforcements
against Italy and at some points they
have assumed the offensive.
Heavy guns continue the lombard
ment in the west. In Vosges another
battle for Hartrnanss Weilerllopf is in
progress.
According to Holland dispatches
British war ships again have attack
ed the Belgian coast. Air raids by
the allied airmen on towns occupied
by Germans and by Zeppelins or
England are daily occurrences:
A Reuter- dispatch from Maasluis
Holland, says that heavy firing was
heard in westerly direction tonight
and became SO violent that window!

DYE SCARCITY
PROVIDED FOR
Rigid Economy in Bureau
Engraving and Printing
Has Met Situation.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. 15.-By en-
ploying rigid economy the bureau Of
engraving and printing has met the
scarcity Of dyestuffs resulting from
the war in Europe and now has avail
able enough pigments to color the
governments money and stamps for
six months.
BY the end of that period Director
Ralph believes supply Of colors
made in America will be available, or
that arrangements will be made for
securing ample shipments from Ger
many.
When the war broke out, the bu-
reau succeeded in buying a years
supply of the necessary blues and
reds for postage stamps. The amount
of color used in inks was reduced to
minimum, even at the risk in some
cases of making the printed product
q trifie paler than normal.
! During the past year the bureau
has obtained several small lots OF
colors and a good sized shipment
from Germany was secured through
diplomatic negotiations. The process
however, has been expensive Direc
tor Ralph said today that for small
lots of red dyes he had seen forces
to pay Is, so and 90 cents a pounc
compared with 26 cents before tn,
war.
| The bureau has been able to qui
the foreign market in producing on
color and turned to American manu-
i facturers. A vegetable dye used il
coloring black ink, formerly import
ed from Germany is now being pur
chased in large quantities from
Pennsylvania dyestuff plant.

London, Sept. 15.-Premier Asquith
in the house of commons and Earl
Kitchener in the house of lords gave
an exhaustive survey of the financial
and military situations today. As
quith asked for billion and a quar-
ter dollar credit which finally passed
and which brings the total up to six
billion, three hundred and ten mil
lion dollars. He explained financing
the war and warned his hearers that
although the daily expenditure now
is over seventeen and half million
dollars daily it is likely to increase
because of the advance to dominions
and allies and provisions for muni-
tions. Nearly three million men are
enlisted in the army and navy and
eight hundred thousand are making
munitions. He said both figures must
be increased. He appealed to the
women to aid. "A discussion of con-
scription followed.
Kitchener told the lords that Ger
man gas, fire and asphyxiating shell
attacks now fail because of the lack
of elements of surprise. He lifted
the veil of secrecy, announcing that
eleven divisions of the new army
have reinforced Field Marsha
French's forces in France and more
are to follow quickly. He spoke op
tinistically of the situation at vari
GUS fronts and expressed the opinion
that the Germans have shot theil
bolt" in their offensive against Rus
