SPECIAL ANTI-TOXIN
 SERUM FOR ANTHRAX.
Desperate Effort to Save George F..
 StaekpoIe's Life.

New York, Oct. 11--Ultra-v violet rays will be used on George F. Stack pole, lawyer and justice of the peace of Riverhead, L. l., who is dying of anthrax at Bellevue hospital The de- cision was made this morning after Dr. H. M. Silver, the family physician, had conferred with Dr. George O'Han- lon, head of Bellevue, and is considered as last desperate effort to save Mr. Stackpole's life. It is hoped that through the treatment the deadly an- thrax bacilli may be transformed in to harmless ones.
 The rays, a discovery of Dr. Rose nov, of Chicago, had been endorsed by Mime. Curie. of Paris, pr. Silver said, and added that his patients condition wa sextremely critical. Less than one case in thousand had been saved in this disease, it was stated at the hos pital Anthrax sometimes appears among cattle and Sheep. but very rare- ly among human beings, and it is not certain how MT. Stackpole con- tracted it. Two similar cases have been reported recently in this city.
 The use of a speciss anto-toxin re- rum, received tonight from Washing ton, gave George F. Staclpole the aged Riverhead lawyer, a fighting chance to recover from anthrax, the dread dis ease which rarely is contracted by human beings, although it is not un- common among cattle and sheep,

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
 ARE DROPPING AGAIN.
Lowest Point Since Sept. 15-sterIins
 Down to S4.67 IA.

New York. Oct. u.-Foreign ex- change rates went down again today. in the face of the successful fiotation of the $500. .O0O. 900 credit loan to Great Britain and France. to their lowest point since Sept. 15. So disquieting was the situation deemed that a three hour meeting, attended by Wall street bankers and Sir Edward Holden, a member of the Anglo-French financial commission. was held in the late after noon at the National City bank for the reported purpose of devising some new method to bolster the value of the English pound sterling
 Since the arrival of the commission here Sept. 10. the trend of sterling val upward. For the past week sterling has been selling at about s4.72. On one day recently it went as high as a frac- to $.s7 1-4 altogether too far below par exports desirable from the British point of view, in the opinion of some New York financiers.
 The meeting held today. 1t was re- ported, was primarily to reach an un- derstanding as to the best available method of using the s5O0.O0O. 900 to stabilize exchange and also with a view to arranging a private agreement between New York bankers on one hand and London bankers on the other for credits which would tend to send the value of sterling up in this foreign exchange market. A supplemental credit of s25o.O0o.0oo, it was said. was discussed

NOTE TO BRITAIN BEFORE

Long Delayed Dispatch Will Go For
 ward in a Few Days.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The long de- layed note of this government to Great Britain, summarizing in a final way the protest gainst the oppression of American commence, will. it was of ncialg announced today, go forward in the hands of President Wilson for final review. The statement was made today that he will probably pass on 1t by tomorrow, and that 1t will then be dispatched. -f -F
 The note as 1t now stands is a re- draft of several communications that have been prepared during the last two months. It Is designed to cover fully, and the state department hopes for the last time. the position of the Unit ed States with respect to the deten- tion by Great Britain of American cargoes bound for neutral ports There seems to be no question but that the communication will indicate that this government does not care to prolong the controversy; that Great Britain must cease to interfere with American cargoes consigned to neutral ports, otherwise her course will be regarded as unfriendly.
 This government has. of course, maintained right along that the block ade established by Great Britain is illegal. except as to the ports in Ger man territory, which are covered by sufficient naval forces. It has main tained that no blockade has existed or could exist as to Dutch and Scandina- vian ports for the reason that what Great Britain terms a blockade is based on the Order in Council, which according to this governments view is .n itself an expression of an illegal act

 The United States, the president said, was not merely trying Co keep out of trouble, it was trying, to pre- serve the foundations upon which peace can be rebuilt
 Duties of Americans.
 Peace can be rebuilt" he added, only upon the ancient and accepted principles of international law; only upon those things which remind na- tions of their duties to each other and, deeper than that. of their duties to mankind and humanity. America has a great cause which Is not cen fined to the American continent. It is the cause of humanity itself"
 Faith in Naturaiized Citizens.
 Declaring his faith in the loyalty of the great body of naturalized cit izens of foreign birth, the president said he believed the impression vas too general that a very large num- Der of these citizens were without a sufficient affection for the American ideal.

Monnett. former attorney general of Ohio. who prosecuted the antitrust suits in Ohio against the Standard oil company. acted as attorney for the plaintiff.
 What Complaint Sets Forth.
 The complaint to the court which was filed by Mrs Walsh in person. sets forth that among the thousands of policy-holders in the Mutual Life Insurance company are many persons Of various nuuonalites and that the investment of the trust funds of these policy holders fin the Anglo Branch loan would tend to produce antagon- isms among the policy holders which might lead to disrupting the company and thereby depreciote the value of her interests fin the company.

On Account of the Threatened Military Movement in
 Close Proximity to Her Frontiers
TEUToNS CONTINUE THEIR ADVANCE IN SERBIA
An Assault is Momentary Expected the Railroad Con- meeting Nish With SalonikiL kiLBulgaria Has Not Yet Made any Offensive Movement On Serbia-The Aus tro-German Drive in Russia Has Spent Its Force-No War News of any Nature From France.

London, Oct. Il, 1920 p. m.-While the armies of the central powers con- tinue to advance into Serbia, nothing has yet been made public to indicate anything in the nature of an actual military move by Bulgaria against Serbia except a report that an assault is momentarily expected on the rail- road connecting Nish with Saloniki.
 Rumania is showing increasing alarm on account of the threatened military movement by Bulgaria and the central powers in close proximity to her frontiers. but neither Athens nor Bucharest is exhibiting any readiness to depart from their policy of benevo- lent neutrality toward the triple en- tente powers.
 Official Reports Meagre.
 The official reports of the fighting along the major fronts were unusually meagre today. the only significant point in any of them being the state ment from Berlin that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, on the Dvinsk front had repu1sed Russian attacks, which seemingly would indicate that for the first time since the German drive through Poland began the Austro- Germans are making no big offensive at any point along the whole eastern front.
 Germans Left 7,o0o Dead.
 Of the fighting in the west, the French official communication is re- viewing the recent German counter attack on Loos says the Germans left between 1000 and 5000 dead before the positions which they tried in vain to recapture.
 British Parliament Meets Today.
 The meeting Of the British parlia- ment tomorrow promises to be of un-l usual importance. The Anglo French loan of s500,0O0.O00 obtained in the United States will be discussed and ratified. although there probably will be a few dissenters who have been found to oppose every act of the gov ernment since the war was declared. The country will await with far great CT interest, however, for whatever light Sir Edward Grey may throw upon the Balkan developments and whether he or Premier Asquith will reveal the cabinets policy on the vital alternative which confronts it. That alternative is whether Great Britain and France will throw all the forces they can com-
