Rockefeller Bank
Deprecates Large
Imports Of Gold

New York, Nov. 2.-Extraordinary
additions OF gold to the bank reserves
of the country in the form Of heavy
importations are declared undesirable,
because they are not required for the
purpose of carrying on the normal
business of the country, and if used
as the basis Of credit, are likely to
bring about debt expansion Of dan
gerous proportions" is bulletin is
sued by the National City bank. The
advisability Of making further for
eign loans is strongly urged.
The bulletin declares that the ma
ton is doing business at this time
under conditions which are calculated
to encourage people to go into debt.
1t points out that with money easy,
interest rates low, and profits from
business unusually large, there is
naturally great temptation to bor1
row money to buy stocks of COM
panies that are making phenomenal
earnings and to enlarge industries
which are prospering. High prices
for farm products, it is asserted, will
encourage farmers to, buy more land.
The total of foreign loans made
in the United States since the out
break OF the European war is placed
by the bank at $2,13S,257,637, OF
which $l56,400,000 has been paid off,
leaving net total of 81 ,98l 857,6U OF
loans outstanding.

Ben Hogan, Founder
Of Hogan's Flop, is
Dead at Age of 81

Chicago, Nov. Ben Hogan,
founder OF "Hogan's Flop" which for
so many years sheltered derelicts, ho-
boes and castaways at 2 cents a bed
each-if they had it, died at his home
here yesterday at the age of 81 years.
With the passing of the ex-prize
fighter, preacher, sociologist, human
itarian and host to weary Willie, was
recalled the day when thousands of
unfortunates were fed and sheltered
by the humane mission at % Meridian
street, which friends said he always
operated at financial loss. Moody,
the noted evangelist, taught me to
preach, Hogan once said "and then
| learned that there was more to
serving mankind than by giving hun
cry men words That is the reason
| started the soup mission and the
flop"
In his youth Hogan was said to
be reckless, contemptuous OF the
law and glorying in his strength. He
seved both the union and confederate
armies in the civil war as blockade
runner Nearly half century ago
he fought Tom Allen for the worlds
championship and was beaten.

There is another principle that we
cannot too jealously guard and that
is that we see to it that our public

keep their promises after election.
"We must protect ourselves from

President Wilson has unexampled

MARINA INCIDENT
Report Kaiser Intends to Sink
Ships with Supplies for En-
tente May Effect Status.
MOUNTED GUN A FEATURE

4 Washington, Nov. 2.--Statc depart
ment officials still were waiting today
for Germany'sr version Of the destruc-
tipn' of the British steamer Marina
with loss Of American lives. They
also were expecting affidavits and
other data gathered from American
survivors on which to determine
whether Germany's pledges to the
United States had been broken,
A news dispatch from Athens last
night saying the Greek government
had been notified Germany intended
to sink without warning all ships car
rying supplies to the allies was re-
garded here as of great importance.
So far as is known the United States
has received no such notification and
it is not known whether one has been
sent to the other neutrals.
Such procedure would be re-
garded by the United States as di-
rectly contrary TO Germany's pledges.
Secretary Lansing said today that
the United States understands Ger
many's pledges not to sink merchant
men without warning and without
providing for the safety of passengers
and crew applies to ships with defen-
sive armament. No distinction was
drawn in the correspondence between
armed and unarmed ships, and the
State department does not accept any
contention that Germanys response
bility is limited to those without arm
ament.
German View Different.
Nevertheless, it is admitted that
Germany has always taken distinct
view Of the status of armed ships and
it is thought probable that it will at
tempt to inject the point into the pres
ent situation. So long as the policies
of the two governments are so ut
terly divergent it is thought possible
that Germany might use the Marina
case to settle this issue. Its increased
submarine warfare, combined with the
increasing number of armed allied
ships and their increasing efficiency
in defense, is vital question to it.

BIG GAIN FOR THE FRENCH
Practically ALI Ground East Of

BATTLE NEAR LES B0EUFS

London, Nov. 2.-Fort Vaux, one.
Of the most important Notifications
captured by the German crown prince
in his prolonged drive at Vcrdun, has
been evacuated by the Germans. The
evacuation is announced by Berlin
today.
Shortly after Fort Doyamont had
been retaken and a wide stretch Of
the front in this region regained by
the French in their sudden offensive
movement on October rs it was
pointed out that Vaux likewise had
been put in perious position. The
French advanced close to the edge of
the fortiGcation on its immediate
front in their great drive and pushed
we'll beyond it on each side, making
its fall, in the opinion of observers
at the front, only question OF a
short time.
The Germans evacuated Fort Vaux
during the night, says their official
report, without hinderance by the
4 French and after portions of the fort
had been blown up. The French
continued to pour heavy fire from
their big guns on the fortification.
Virtually all the ground of pro-
nounced value taken by the Germans
on the easterly bank of the Mouse
in their winter and spring offensive
at Verdun has with the fall Of Fort
Vaux been lost to them.
The French troops operating in
the Les Boeufs and Rancourt sectors
on the Somme front also gained
ground yesterday in attacks on the
German lines. The Paris report of
last night announcing these advances
is in part confirmed by the Berlin
official statement today, which con-
cedes French gains northeast of Nor
val and on the edge of the St. Pierre
Vast Wood, but declares that the
main effort Of the French to move
forward was sanguinarily repulsed.

SUTTON DECLARES
STATE FOR HUGHES
Republican Candidate Makes
Report of Conditions to
Chairman Beach.
MAY EXPECT RooRBAcKs

Judge A. 1. Sutton last night sent
to Republican Chairman Beach at
Lincoln, the following report Of con
ditions in Nebraska. He predicts
Hughes will carry the state, as will
the entire republican ticket He says:
II beg to advise you | have just
returned from trip through York
and Burt counties and take pleasure
in informing you there is constant
steady gain for Justice Hughes and
the entire state ticket. There is a
decided drift to John L. Kennedy for
senator and | find the voters appre-
ciate the manly and vigorous contest
that Mr.. Kennedy is waging for
United States senator.
81 regret to advise you the brewing
companies or the Prosperity league
have dozens, and perhaps hundreds of
persons travelling in Nebraska scour-
ing the state and trying to locate
votes for Hitchcock and Neville.
These paid agents and emissaries of
the brewing companies, or Prosper
ity league, are spending money law
ishly and telling the most preposter-
Gus and ridiculous falsehoods about
some of the candidates on our tickets,
and especially about me. | realize
that you are busy man and may be
too busy to give this your personal
attention, but some organization
ought to take the time to expose
these paid agents of the brewing
companies, or Prosperity league, who
are peddling wicked falsehoods about
the republican candidates.
Il wish also to warn you and your
committee to try and meet the roor-
backs and sensational campaign fab
relations and falsehoods that will be
spread by the brewing companies and
their allies about some of the republi-
can candidates the last few days be-
fore election. | have an abiding con-
viction we have this election won and
will have a splendid majority for the
entire republican ticket, unless the
opposition succeed with their cam
roorbacks and Campaign fabrications
too late to be exploded by your com
mittee.
"As this may be my last communi-
cation to you, as chairman, before
election, | wish to give you my opin-
ion based on vigorous campaign in
nearly every county of Nebraska,
that Hughes will carry this state by
safe majority and our entire re-
publican state ticket will be elected
by approximately $4,000 majority.
"As one of the candidates on the
state ticket, wish to thank you and
through you, the entire republican
committee for the splendid and sue
cessful campaign you have made for
the republican party and the republic
can candidates"

airy Injunction in circuit court here

from using the assets of the Ford Mo-
tor company to extend the business as
planned, instead of distributing profits
in dividends.
In their application to the court the
court the Dodge brothers allege that
increased labor costs and unstable
bushes conditions coming at the end
of the war, make "reckles expendi-
lures of the company's assets unwise." :"
