400 PRISONERS ARE TAKEN ON
 BATTLE FIELD
Handful of British Soldiers Capture Germans Who Had Taken Refuge in Isolated Trench Along the Ancre.
(By Review Leased Wire.) )

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Nov. Is. (via London)-A British chaplain, while searching the battle field of the Ancre for wounded hidden in the shell craters during the British advance, accompanied by a few soldiers. came upon an isolated trench containing nearly 400 Germans who promptly surrendered. The chaplain ordered the men to file out upon the open ground, pre- paratory to passing them back with an escort. when the German officer. seeing the small size of the force to which he was surrendering, tried to rally his men and overpower it. He was able to kill the chaplain when a British infantryman shot him dead. whereupon the other Germans again held up their hands and shouted their eagerness to be made prisoners.
 Except forlocal ineffective bombing attacks from the direction of the Somme river. the Germans made no effort to retake their lost ground on Mount Hamel region today (Wednes- day).
 The British are proceeding with the occupation of the German trenches. Prisoners aggregating a battalion was taken today from trenches abutting the area captured during the last two days.
 An order dated October 13. issued by the commander of the second guard reserve division. calls on the guards to make great exertions and sacrifices which are necessitated by the unbroken spirit of their enemies. and adds:
 We shall see to it that the British and French armies are exterminated in the hell they have created"

 The Transylvanian front, aside from the line in France, is furnishing the most sanguinary engagements. Here the Austio-Germans are gaining ground against the Rumanians and Russians.
 The royal palace in Bucharest has been bombed by Teutonic allied aero planes. The queen and the royal princess were not in the building at the time.
 In Galicia, according to the Petro- grad war office. the Russians have driven Austro-Germans from former Russian trenches in the Narayuvka river region. Berlin asserts, however, that attacks by the Russians in this vicinity were repulsed.
 East of Gorizia the Austrians by heavy bombardments have compelled the Italians to give up some of their trenches. On the Carso front the Italians have made advances at sev- eral points.

Gales Development of Mining Industry
 Exploitation Orgy
Government Official Says Co., operation of Industries and Elimination of Factionalism and Sentiment Needed.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

CHICAGO, Nov 15.-The develop ment of the mineral resources of the United States was described as an or gy of nasty exploitation by Van H. Manning, director of the bureau of mines. addressing the American Min ing Congress today.
 Great as has been the advance in the mining industry" he said, ''it is deplorable to have to say that it has been carried on in a most wasteful manner and with little regard for the safety of the men who labor in the mines.
 Had our mineral resources been wisely developed. they would have lasted many years longer and yielded ten times as much wealth.
 "The chief need of the United States. if it would meet new condi- tions of trade. is a deeper and wider cooperation among our industries and the elimination of factionalism and sentimentalism."

New York Central and Erie Railroads Seek to Prevent Government From Putting Adamson Bill Into Effect. RAILWAY PRESIDENTS
 SAY MEANING VAGUE Chairman Lee, of Executives, Says Roads Will Faithfully Obey Instructions of Courts If Cases Are Dismissed.
fRx Review Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Suits filed by railroads against the federal gov ernment to test the constitutionality of the Adamson eight hour law also are expected to result in the interpre- tation of the statute if it be upheld, the railroad managers comprising the national conference committee of railways announced in a statement here tonight.
 Suits designed to test the validity of the law and to restrain the govern ment from putting it into effect were filed in this city today by the New York Central and Erie Railroads.
 Other Suits Planned
 Similar suits are to be brought within the next few days by each rail- road in the country in each of the federal districts it traverses, accord ing to Elisha L. Lee, chairman of the committee. MT. Lee issued state ment at the end of the committees three day session, explaining the railroads program in their fight against the law. The statement fol- lows:
 Two questions are involved in the appeal by the railroads to the courts for light on the Adamson law:
 "1-Is the law constitutional?
 ''2-If it is, what does it mean?
 Opinions have been expressed by eminent authorities that the law is unconstitutional and there are con f1icting opinions as to how the law, if constitutional, should be applied.
 Suits Matter of Duty
 Therefore, the railroads must, as a matter of duty. ask the courts if the law is within the power of congress. If the law is declared constitution al, it is expected that the courts will make clear its meaning, and the rail ways. it is unnecessary to say, will faithfully follow the instructions of the courts.
 "The railways have chosen what seems to be the shortest and most practical method of reaching an early decision, and. in the meantime, avoid ing multiplicity of prosecutions and suits.
 'The railroads earnestly desire to take the right road and it is for this reason that they have asked the courts for light to show them the road"

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Nov. 15.- Unless new and unexpected opposition develops. members of the Mexican American joint commission believed tonight, an agreement covering the withdrawal of the American punitive expedition and a method of border con- trol will be ready by the end of the week for submission to the two gov ernments. Announcement that an agreement was in sight was made by lgnacio Bonillas. one of the Mexican representatives. at the close of ses- sion that had lasted until night
 The altered attitude of the Mexicans was shown by the announcement at the second session today. although if was not attended by Luis Cabrera. chairman of the Mexican commission. who did not return from Philadelphia until late today. He was accompanied here by Ambassador-designa Are dondo and Mrs Arredondo. No signif- canoe seemed to be attached to the campaign of the Carranza troops against Villa.
 Cabrera Is Silent
 Although MT. Cabrera has not been here since he manifested his opposi- ton to the plan that was sanctioned Monday by his colleagues. it is known the other Mexicans were in telephonic communication with him today. It is not believed. however. that the unex- pected development late today was due @ his counsel
 Mir. Cabrera, it now is known. has been opposed. apparently unalterably. to the plan as it has been discussed There appeared reason to believe that he had suggested a counter plan but that his associates chose to continue consideration of the one that had birtually been agreed upon Monday afternJon.
 Settlement Assured
 Mir. Bonillas denied tonight that Mr. Cabrera had interfered with the adoption of any plan and sought to imply the impression that the utmost harmony prevailed among the Mexican delegates.
 Minor points are yet to be considered but there is little doubt but that a settlement would be reached

One Buck Pays $750 for Second Hand Ford-Silk Shirts Con-

Never before in the history of the negro race in the South have the darkies reveled and rolled in such prosperity as is now prevalent in the cotton belt. For generations Sambo has eked out bare exist ence in the cotton fields, happy and content if he managed to make ends meet at the close of the crop year. It is one of the vagaries of race that negro will not work unless pinched by poverty or spur red by the prospect of reward. Once he is in actual possession of more than enough to meet present demands he becomes as prodiSal and reckless with his resources as a born spendthrift.
 The unprecedented price cotton is now bringing has literally thrust prosperity upon the negro before he realized it or had time to contem- plate an era of good times. In con sequence he falls an easy victim to every sort of scheme devised by willy whites to separate him from his coin. It is stated the negroes in Arkansas territory tributary to Memphis flock into the Bluff City on Saturdays and buy the most ex- pensive apparel A Paragouldian who was in Memphis last Saturday said negro bucks were buying five dollar silk shirts, eight dollar shoes and forty dollar suits of clothes.
 Judge w. J. Driver who resides in Mississippi county, remarked the other day that If Henry Ford could turn out cars fast enough to sup ply the demand nearly every negro in Mississippi county would be riding in a "flivver" this fall.

He told of one negro who entered an auto sales room the other day, shabbily clad and with his wife and half a dozen ragged children trailing after him, pulled out check for s2,O00, bought new Haynes car, engaged the services of negro chauffeur,
