Question of Prosecution Rests Upon Decision of United States
 Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-With the submission 10 the Supreme Court of three so-called white slave" cas- es, the question of future Federal prosecutions for violations of the Mann law, when elements of com mercialized vice or coercion are ab- sent, now awaits the Courts decis- ion.
 In arguing appeals from conyic- ton, under the Mann act, of r. Drew Camnetti and Maury I. Diggs, Of Sac ramento, and l.. l. Hays, of Ava, Okla, Assistant Attorney General Wallace, for the government, asked the Court to interpret the law so as to prohibit interstate transportation of women for any immoral purposes, including non-commerc.al, personal, immoral escapGdes.
 The contention that Congress ney- CT intended the law to apply to cases of mere immortality, without the elements of commercial traffic or coercion, was presented by former Senator Bailey Of Texas, and Harry o. Chaser, of Eaid. Okla, for the de. fendants.

 ORGANIZED TO
 FIGHT DISEASE
Doctors and Prominent Man WiII Wage Fight on Heart Disease
 in the East.
BIG MEDICAL PROBLEM

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-4npednce ment has been made of the lorna ton and incorporation of the Asso' citation for the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease. which includes in it's membership widely known physi- clans, financiers, philanthropists, mu- nicipal officials and heads of private and public charaities.
 The discovery that the disease the heart is heir to now oyershadows tuberculosis as medical problem is said to have resulted in the for nation of the organization. ApproXi- mately 15,OOO school children in this city. it is said, now suffer from organic diseases of the heart.

MONEY TO BE LOANED TO TIE JEWS IN EUROPE AT THE CLOSE OF WAR
 IS BEING PLANNED BY U. s, JEWS

"
 NEW YORK. Nov 2O.-- (SpecIaD Plans 70 provide a gigantic loan, described as "one of the largest in the history Of the world without in- terest" to place the Jews of Europe definitely beyond the reach of suf- ferlng after the war, were announc- here today by Dr. Judah l.. Mag nes, who returned recently from a tour of investigation abroad as the official representative of the Joint Distribution Committee of Funds for Jewish War Sufferers
 Tho proposal already has the in- dorsement Of tho most prominent Jews in New York City, Dr. Magnes stated, How the loan is to be ob- tained will be left to the judgment of those who will undertake to raise the money.
 IL was explained that the proposed loan is distinct from the fund of S1O,OOO,OOO which is now being raised for immediate succor of starving Jews in Europe. Further details Of the plan will be revealed by Dr. Magnes at a mass meeting here on December S1 that will be attended by representative men from all parts of the country Dr. Magnes explain ed that only by cooperation of Jews in the United States and by the setting aside of vast sum for purposes of rehabilitation can the de- sired results be accomplished.
 Flotation of the loan will be along the line of the policy known as "Gemiluth Chosodism." originated by the Jews Of Russia and Poland, and which resulted in this country in the organization of free loan societies which loans sums of from $5 to $2OO without interest and no security oth' CT than m indorser.
 Dr. Manages outlined his plea as follows:
 There are hundreds and thou sands oi Jews in Europe to whom the ties of birthplace are as strong as to those born in America, and to whom. no matter how far their fortunes might be advanced by mi grating elsewhere are either too old or too strongly attached to the plac- es of their origin to do so.
 Tt Is for those that hope to se- sure loans. How much shall be neeed no one can. tell. The security is the honor of the Jewish race, never yet dishonored, to repay when and how it may. the moneys ad- vancel it. The inherent thrift busi- ness instinct, and honesty of the race is guaranteed, that with help sufficient to build their homes, to again establish themselves in busi- ness and to start their wrecked lives anew no principal will be dofaulted upon.
 "In this work of charity we do not propose to charge any interest. But the Jews of America, blessed with peace, with plenty and with health, cannot do less than to establish a great fund with which to rehabiliate or. as 1t may be, to habiliate their brethren across the seas, from where 70 many of us have come and toI which we are vitally attached de- spite our transplanting,
 "I am hopeful that whatever the sum necessary it will be found, and that whatever the risk it will be yentured. A new Europe, a new Palestine. a new Galicia, a new Po- land and a new Lithunia can be buuded with Americas help and a new promise can be extended the Jewish race.

Premier Borden in Speech Says Country Still Is Determined to Stay
 to End of War.
LAUDS MOMENTS WORK
RefuteS Statement That Old Races DeCadent and Trained Men
 Answer Call.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.- (SpeciaD -Canada's determination to wage war to @ triumphant issue without truce or inconclusiye peace was em- phasized by Sir Robert l.. Borden, premier of Canada, in a speech at a dinner of the Canadian Club of New York, in this city.
 Outlining the cause for which Ca Inodians had thrown themselves into the struggle as one of humanity and civilization. the premier said he had been commissioned to bring this message to Canadians in New York.
 We are as resolute and determin- ed to maintain that cause to the end as we were on the day of Aug lust 4. 1914" Prolonged cheering greeted the announcement. The premier stirred his country men to high enthusism when he re- counted Canada's sacrifices and en- deayors since the war began.
 He paid unsuntel tribute to the women of Canada for their part in raising funds for war relief and oth- e~ necessities, charecterizing their heroism and devotion as an inspira- tion to the men at the front.
 'T reverence the women of the United States for what they have done" the premier said, but l shall bow to the womanhood of the world for what the women of Canada have done in this war,
 Old Races Not Decadent
 Describing the financial response of Canadians as Illustrative Of the spirit of Canada. Premier Borden told how the various women's relief societies have raised between $4O,- OOO,OOO and S5O,OOO.OOO by voluntary subscription in the last two years without having to appeal publicly for money
 He derided any assertion that the old races in Canada are not dcadent races. and cited as proof Of the coun. try's virility the fact that recruiting is progressing and that since last January Canada has sent 144.OOO men, trained and armed to the war, of whom 100000 volunteered in the tirst 100 days.
 "I am proud of the part Canada has taken in the war. and the way her sons have borne themselves The path Co Calais was not open b :. cause Canadians stood there. These men ,outnumbered. held their own, not for hours. but for days, that the path to Calais should not be opened" declared the premier.
 Premier Borden said that the cause for which Canada has given her manhood in the last two years ap- peals no. only 10 the Dominion Of Canada. but to all the empire, Of which Canada forms a part.
 Must Fight For Right
 And Of which, please God" he added. 'it will always form a part. No country can ever progress inl ideals unless it sees that it is its duty to fight if need be for the pres eryation of the country's influence in the cause Of civilization"
 Former President William Fl. Taft, who preceded the premier. referred 10 the friendly relations of Canada and the United States which have been unbroken for a century.
 We have got into the habit of set ting our differences by peaceful means, and that habit, by the help of God, we'll never get out or" Mr. l Taft said That ought to furnish an example to the rest of the world | after the war"

STEAMER WITH
 MYSTERY IS IN
 FR0M CONTINENT
Innocent Looking Bag Is Taken by British When Norwegian Steamer
 Is Searched.
GHOSTS ALSO ABOARD

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Laden with mystery the steamer Kri5tianfjord of the Norwegian-American Line, reach ed here, after an eleven-lay voyage from Bergen. The passengers got their first inkllng of the mystery when Capt. s. C. Hiortdahl received Ia British official at Kirkwall.
 After 555 sacks of mail had been taken off, the Britishers, who were said to have received information, began thorough search of the bag gage hold. There one of them fell upon a small innocent looking hand bag of back leather The bag was seized and the ships officers com manded to produce the owner.
 No mark of Identification was on the bag and passengers denied all knowledge of it. Without explana- ton, some of the officers took it on shore. Other officers whc remained on board whispered that it contained American securities of enormous val ue, that in some unexplained way it had left Germany without escort, and had deposited itself in the most conspicuous place in the baggage room.
 Wild Tales Circulated
 One story circulated about the ship placed the value of the securities at $4OO,OOOOOO, but passengers were inclined to think this amount was far in excess of the value of the con. tents of the bag. One man said he heard the securities were worth ST. OOO,OOO.
 More mystery developed when the stewards reported a ghost in the galley on Wednesday night. Search parties were organized, but it was not until Thursday night that the ghost was found. He proved to be Arnold von Tulen, 27 years old, a German surgeon He was found in the gallery ventilator.
