 Joint Credit Loan.
 It was considered possible that this deputation of five would discuss the issuance of a joint credit loan to Great Britain, France and Russia, but bankers hero declined to discuss this eventuality until after the arrival of the London financiers on the Ameri- can line steamer St. Paul, due to de- part tomorrow from Liverpool, but this was not definitely known.
 Although the personnel of the depu- tdtion was understood to be known to the local bankers, none cared to dis cuss it. It is believed that Sir Edward Holden and Sir Felix Schuster, named m the original report from London, would represent the joint stock banks of London and that a third represen- tative of these banks would accom- pany them. The other two members, it is said, will represent the British treasury department.

TURKSCERTAINT THEY
 CAN HOLD GALLIPOLI
Allies Will Never Take Peninsula, Says Field Marshal VOn Sanders

Turkish Headquarters, on the Gal lipoli Peninsula, Monday, August 23, via London, Aug. 25. 2:2O a. m.- Absolute confidence in the Turkish troops and their ability to hold the peninsula, even should other allied endorsements arrive, were expressed today by the commander of the fifth army. Field Marshal Liman von Sanders Pasha, in an interview With the correspondent of the Associated Press.
 Field Marshal von Sanders re- marks were punctuated by the crash ing nearby of exploding shells. His praise of the Turkish soldiers was un- stinted.
 Bravery and Frugality.
 Bravery and frugality and physical and mental stamina" said the pasha make the Turk an antagonist really to be feared, as our enemies already have discovered. As a result we able to face the future without mis- giving, even should the enemy in- crease.'
 
 forts in Derfecting the organization of the Turks
 HaVc Necessary Means.
 'The Gallipoli forces are better off in that respect than you suppose" he said. At the first glance the ma chine here may look somewhat cum bersome but such is not the case Owing to our excellent officers we have the means necessary to carry on operations in a most modern manner This and the fact that the Turk is really fighting for an ideal defence of country, race and religion- make the task of the allies what it has been."
 Field Marshal von Sanders Pasha is very popular With the Turkish officers and men, despite the fact that he is strict disciplinarian. He interests himself personally in the welfare of the men, insisting upon ample SUD- plies of good food and an efficient service. This has endeared him to the Turkish soldier to whom he is known simply as the Pasha. His appearance at the front invariably is the occasion for an ovation.
 Works IS Hours Day.
 The pasha is a man of unusual phys cal Vigor. He works generally IS hours a day, spending more than half ! of this time visiting the positions The Allies," the pasha continued l have been here four months less :hree days.

 Be Paid in Dollars in US.

New York, Aug. 25.-Announce- n1ent was made last night by Brown Brothers and company that arrange ments for $2O,00O,OOO French com nercial export credit have been cem- rleted and the credit issued. "The purpose of the credit,'' say the bank CTS in their announcement, lis to en- able American exporters to be paid in dollars in the United States, elimnat- ing any risk of exchange and thus facilitating our exports. It will also enable French buyers of American merchandise and other commodities, who have found it difficult, owing to extra ordinary conditions now prevail Ing, to obtain exchange with which to settle their accounts with American merchants.
 'The credit is for period of one year and is to be availcd of by drafts at ninety days sight. Care has been taken to comply with the requirements of our banking laws relating to com rlercial acccptances. In addition to the responsibility of the French drawers of the bill, the credit is se cured by the guarantee of the banuuc of France, of payment at maturity in geld if necessary. Collateral is also deposited in New York as additional protection of the credit
 After Discount Market
 "As the drafts come forward and are discounted in the open market. an opportunity will be offered for tho first time to American institutions of the highest character in Europe ou correspondingly strong firms and institutions in this country, which should discount at the finest rates. The appearance of such paper should go far toward creating a genuine open discount market without which this country cannot expect to continue to play it's part in the financing of our foreign trade"

EASTMAN KODAK @. DECLARED MONOPOLY
U. s. Court Holds it Is Guilty of
 Restraint Of Trade

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 25.--The East man Kodak company of Rochester is a monoply in restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman antitrust law, according to decision handed down here late yesterday by Judge John R. Hazel of the United States district court. The decision grants the defendant company an opportuni- ty to present plan for the abrosa- tion of illegal monoply" on the first day of the November term.
 Judge Hazel in his opinion stated that, while it appeared that no ir- remediable hardship would result from a separation of the present bus mess into two or more separate com ponies it was not at this time intend ed to indicate either dissolution, division or reorganization.
 Chance for Company.
 It no doubt is possible, he said. that an adequate measure of relief might result from enjoinilg the un- fair practices Of the terms of sale agreements and from separation of the business: but the defendants should have an opportunity to pre- sent to the court on the first day of the 1915 November term a plan for the abrogation of the illegal monop- oly unduly and unreasonably restrain ing interstate trade and commerce, or if an appeal from this interloctuorN decree is taken to the supreme court and this decision is affirmed, such plan is to be presented within 60

3,20O,0OO GERMANS
 ON FIGHTING LINES
Net Loss Of Kaiser'S Forces for
 Year Was 1,500,000 Men

London, Aug 25.-A statemenv from an authoritative British source on Germany's strength in men and her losses was made public here to- day. The statements assert that, about July .31, the Germans had 1900, GOO men on the western battle front. a total of 3,200,00O men on the actual fighting line, while there also were 1,12O,OOO Austrians opposed :o the Russians. There were besides a large number of German troops ot various classes in garrisons, fortifica- tions and lines of communications in addition to convalescents, invadils and others.
 Tt IS impossible to say" the state ment declares, how far the reserve troops have been armed and euuipD- ed but the fact that the total num- Der of men on the two fronts is only 3,2OO,O00 appears to show that this is about the largest number the Ger mans are able to put fully equipped into the fighting line.
 Germans Supply Losses.
 "The Germans from a date short ly after the outbreak of the war. supplied the losses in their first line and reserve troops from the second and even the third line, so that it is safer to regard all the German troops in the fighting line as much of the same quality as in the first few months Of the war.
 Tt is calculated that the first line troops lost about 50 per cent. of the casualties and the reserves about 25 per cent, their places being taken by recruits from 1914 class and from other categories and reformed units, including the 1915 class of recruits
 Twenty-Five Per Cent Remain.
 Since then they have again lost about 50 per cent. in casualties, so probably there remains only about 25 per cent. of the original first line troops, to which must be added the men slightly wounded, who have returned to ths~ fighting line.
 The German casualties in killed wounded and missing, reported to June 30, totalled 1,672,444 of whorl 3O6,123 were killed, 15,SOS died of disease and 540,723 either are missing or prisoners or are so seriously wounded as to put them out of ac- ton for the remainder of the War. Since June 30, there has been heavy nghtlng probably bring the total loss up to 2,00o,0O0,OOO for the year.
 Total Loss of 1.5OO,OOO.
 Assuming that 5OO,OOO men were only slightly wounded and recovered, the effective loss is assumed to amount to 100000, in addition to which probably 5OO,0O men are wounded who are absent from the front on leave in hospitals This makes the total net loss for the year 1,5OO,OOO of whom from 100000 to 45O, ,OOO men were killed.
 ''The Germans, 1t is calculated, at the beginning Of the war, had S,0OO,- 900 men available for military Ser- vice, and that number might be in- creased by 100000 or 1,5OO,O00 ii every man of military age gave his service. The only reasonable sug- gestion, therefore, for the fact that the Germans have only 3,2O0,00O men in the fighting line, is that they are unable to supply more than that number with equipment. From the total of from S,0O0,00O to 9,000,000 men must be deducted the 1,5O0,000 net loss for the year and the same Humber of men required for making arms and ammunition"

property in this case standing alone would not be deemed an illegal monop- oly. But when the acquisitions are accompanied by an intent to monopo- lizc and restrain interstate trade by an arbitrary use of the power result ing from the large business to elimi- nate weaker competitor, then they no doubt come within the meaning of the statute

days from the filing of the mandate.
 The opinion reviewed in detail the acquisition of the control of raw pa per and of competing companies ana stated that it was difficult to avoid the conclusion that these acts were for the purpose of suppressing com petition and in furtherance of an intention to form monoply. In standardization of this it was pointed out that in nearly every instance the cOnveyances contained restrictive cov- enants prohibiting the business from periods ranging from five to 25 years, thus serving, as said in the tobacco case, "as perpetual barriers to the entry of others.'
 Menace Industrial Welfare.
 "Monopolies thus formed" the opinion continued, "are bound to be- come burdensome and menacing to industrial welfare and are entirely at variance with wholesome business conditions"
 Judge Hazel dismissed the govern ments claim that contracts for the manufacture of motion picture film entered into being defendants and the Motion Picture Patents com pany were violations of the statute.
 Quotes Great Gains.
 The court quoted the great gains and profits of the company for the year 1912, which amounted to S15.- 633551.33, or about 171 per cent. on total sales of $24,763, 4O7.65, as show ing the large disproportion between the cost of manufac cture and the price paid by the consumer. It is undis- puted, the court held that the East man company controlled approximate ly between seventy-five per cent and eighty per cent. of the entire trade and had accordingly obtained d mo- nopoly
 "Thc burden rested upon the de- fendants to prove that this was ac- complished by lawful methods" Judge Hazel said, land after careful | consideration I have concluded that !! such burden was not borne, but that ! on the contrary, the government has shown affirmatively that interstate i trade and commerce have been un- i justly and abnormally restrained by | the defendants by the formation of a , monopoly induced by wrongful con- tracts with regard to raw paper stock, preventing the trade from obtaining such stock; by the acquisition of com peting plants and stock houses, ac- cOmpanied by covenants restricting the vendors from re-entering the business: and by the imposition on dealers of arbitrary and oppressive terms of sale inconsistent with fair dealing, and Suppressing competition. such acts when taken together are most significant and seem to me to in disclose an intention to violate section two of the Sherman act"
 Marked DiSSimiIarity.
 In conclusion Judge Hazel stated that there is marked diSSimilarity between the acts disclosed in the : case and those disclosed in the United Shoe Machinery and the Keystone Watch cases. which were decided in favor of the defendants to the effect that no monopoly was created In this the opinion stated that there was no limit in this country to the extent to which a business may grow and that the acquisitions of
