CAPTURE OF MEMEL IMPORTANT FOR ITS EFFECT MORALLY
Seems to Prove That Ger mans, to Concentrate, Must Leave Portions
 of Line Open

Petrograd. March 21.-t2 p. m., via Lon don, p. m.)-The capture of Memel by the Russians after an impetuous charge and sharp street fighting is regarded gen. eraliy as important because of its moral effect and because it seems to prove that the Germans, when concentrating on any point. have to leave other portions of their frontier open to penetration.
 The retreat of the German garrison from Memel is endangered by another Russian column advancing from rauroggen, which threatens to cut off the German progress southward.
 Of more importance than the occupation of Memel is the Russian activity on the left bank of Nieman, where the net re- suits of recent engagements has been to clear invaders from Russian territory from the general region of Seiny to Kop- siovo, on the Grodno-SuwaIki road. The last two days have seen the Germans forced hack 20 miles to the west from the Niemen. Activity in the vicinity of the Narew continues and an important engagement occurred yesterday 1O miles south of Myszyniec, en the road to Ostro- lenka. Here the Germans attacked in three columns from the Myszniec side but the assault ended in defeat.
 The German bombardment of Ossowetz is continued much longer than was ex- pected Today's reports indicate that the artillery duel still is in progress. but it is said the German fire is losing fofce
 "On a recent sortie from Urzemysl the garrison opened the heaviest and most continuous artillery fire which has been waged since the siege began. Twenty thousand shells are said to have been fired in 24 hours. The Russians believe the de- lenders of the fortress have decided to ex- haust their stock of ammunition rather than risk it's capture oy the Russians should the fortress fan. The attempt of an Austrian force to break through from the Carpathian front to the relief of Prezymsl in connection with this sortie is reported to have failed.

RUSSIA NOW MAKING PLANS ID CREATE 4 $6O,0OO,0OO CREDIT Many Other Nations Also Are Seeking Loans in the
 United States J.P. MORGAN
 OFF FOR EUROPE The Trip Unquestionably Has to Do With the Creation of Big
 Credits Here by England
 and France
By HOLLAND

New York, March H.-(Special.) )-Simul- taEeously with the apparently authentic report that Russia is now contracting for certain war material that is to be manu- factured in this country, of which the money value may be as much as $60 000,- o0o and the further announcement that Russia is in a position to pay immediately for these commodities, comes the report that syndicate is contemplating the pur- chases of an issue of German notes az gregating slo,ooO,0oO, and at price which will give these notes an income value Of little over 6 per cent.
 But these published accounts do not con tain all the current news of this kind There is good reason for inferring that Brazil may within few weeks success fully negotiate here for a loan perhaps as large as that which Switzerland ob- tained. Representatives of Bolivia, and it is suspected of Uruguay. are also seek ing largo accommodations here. Yet the money with which loans of this kind can be made is pouring into the United States in rapidly increasing volume. In formation confidentally imparted respect l ing the principals in the negotiations tell, --o'S'ets VI NChS iii v iiCi CetScS III VI ders for arms and cartridges which some of the arms manufacturing companies of the United States received last week. These orders appear to be duplicates of others received earlier in the winter and there are intimations that like orders will be placed here continually through out the spring. One of the great indus- tries whose output is war material now has orders enough on hand to keep it's large plant occupied to its capacity, and in some departments day and night, for the next two years.
 From Washington comes information that the excess of the money value of the exports in the second week of March as compared with the money value of the inn ports Is nearly s50,00o,000, and figures of this kind confirm the statements which those who should know what is going on made in midwinter when they said that our excess of exports would stead fly increase probably during the entire calendar year of 1915.
 From an authority which is regarded here with the highest confidence, the Northwestern National Bank Review of Minneapolis. information has been ob- tained here which is spoken of as of the utmost importance. The Review in it's

That he should undertake some business while in Lon don is. of course, certain. But it is very doubtful whether his present visit to Lon don-where he will be received at his London home, there sojourning until the visit is at an end-was made because the time had come when England must estab
