U. 5. ORGANIZATION
PLANNED TO GET
AROUND BLOCKADE
American Overseas
Corporation Holds
Meeting in East.
WILL GUARANTEE
That Exports From U. S.
Will Not Reach Any of
Belllgerent Countries.

New York City.-The American
Overseas Corpoation, formed to ia
cllitate American trade with neutral
nations, somewhat after the manner
adopted by the merchants of Holland
in the Netherlands Overseas Trust,
met here today to complete its or
organization and to discuss the de-
tails of its policy. The idea of the
corporation is to give. assurances to
the belligerents that its shipments
are non-contraband and will not
reach enemy countries. A letter from
Secretary Redfeld, of the depart
ment of commerce, promising his in
terest and cooperation in the project
was placed before the meeting. An
other matter discussed is the detail
ed methods pursued by the Neither
lands Overseas Trust
How Holland Does 1t.
In the case of the Holland Over
seas organization the methods are
simple. Every importer or exporter
must first to apply to the trust which
inquiries into the genuineness of
the business and demands bank
guaranty and proof that the goods to
be exported are not for the account
OF any person or firm belonging to a
nation at war. In the case of imports.
the Overseas trust demands a bank
guaranty and proof that the goods
are intended purely for consumption
within the country. Should trader
not keep his word, the bank guaran-
ty is confiscated. Any breach of trust
is quickly revealed by examinations
OF the books of the members, which
are made fequently. The cost is one
eighth of one per cent of the goods
handled. No profit is made by the
trust, any surplus going to the ma
tional relief fund.
The objects sought by the Ameri-
can Overseas Corporation are three
fold:
The maintenance of American
commerce with neutral countries.
The prevention of unnecessary de-
tention "a American shipments to-
neutrals.
The ultimate establishment of
credits In countries effected.
Plan Protection After War.
Washington, d. C.--Administra-
tfon plans for legislation to protect
American manufacturers from for
eign competition after the European
war, were discussed with President
today by Secretary Redfield
and Chairman Davies of the federal
trade commission.

SLAUGHTER GOES ON ALL
THE TIME in THE TRENCHES

London, England The Daily
Chronicles correspondent, writing
from British headquarters at the
front, says: cit is we'll that the peo-
pie at home should look at all the
facts without ninching and realize
that even when no great actions are
in progress, the wasting of our troops
goes no increasingly and our very
successes are a source of most ter
rible loss of life. Tre positions we
have maintained along the new lines
of Hill 20 and the chalk pit to Hohen-
zollern Redoubt are under continual
shell fire. The enemy's artillery is
every kind of ammunition apparently
ineXhaustible.
Referring to British disappoint-
ment over the failure of the recent
offensive to sweep through German
positions and end the trench war
fare, the correspondent says: eff
all the elements Of luclN had been
with us, if every part Of our plan
had been worked out precisely as in
tended, if We had been able to bring
up more forces at the critical mo-
, ment, there is no doubt we should
, have gained more ground and better
ground than is now ours. Neverthe,
/ less, a sense of panic must have been
created in the German command
when Loos fell, when our men were
sweeping up to Hill 10 and we were
| forcing our way from Hulluch and
the French were storming the Heights
of Vimy. What hurt them most was
that the initiative had fallen into our
hands, upsetting all their plans and
internal disposition of troops"

to the progress OF he campaign in
the Balkans, the Marquis of Lans-
down, the Unionist leader who holds
a seat in the cabinet without a port
folio stated:
l must say with great regret that
am afraid that we must admit that
the progress of the campaign on the
northern Serbian frontier has been
such as to render it highly improba-
BILE that the Serbians will be able to
Withstand for any great length the
attack to which they are now being
subjected by the Central Powers,
aided by the stab in the back which
Serbia is receiving at the hands of
Bulgaria"
While there was no criticism of the
conduct of the near eastern campaign
there was general demand for in
formation and the suggestion for a
smaller cabinet received support.
Lord Lansdown, in his report, gave
"a general review of the Saloniki op-
erations. Earl Curzon, of Kebelston,
made the statement that Premier AS

Gallipoli Operations Quiet
Lord Lansdown explained that the
British force at Saloniki, which num-
bers about 1900 men, was sent at
the request of Serbia and the Veni-
,zelos (then premier) for the purpose
of enabling Greece to fulfill her
treaty obligations to Serbia. A much
stronger force has been placed under
orders, but it's ultimate destination
would depend on the situation and
report of General Munro, the new
commander in chief, who has already
reached the Gallipoli peninsula.
| Lord Loreburn asked whether the
dispatch of troops to Saloniki had
been determined with the approval
of naval and military advisors. Lord
Loreburn said he understood the gov
ernment's desire was that the opera
tions should not be debated now but
there was a reason for asking details

added that he did not know whether

"The greatest danger from which
this country could suffer- he said
"is unpreparedness and indecision ;
