Gurko Escapes From
Russia to England
Former General Had Been
Held as Enemy to New
Republic

LONDON, Oct. 19.-General Gurko,
former commander on the Russian
Southwestern front, has arrived In
England with his wife, on board Brit
ish chip.
The correspondent Of THE Daily
Express" who travelled on the same
boat, says that the ship was lying az
the entrance TO the river outside the
port of Archangel awaiting orders to
depart for England, when late at night
a tug stole silently alongside and two
unidentified passengers walked up the
companion ladder. They registered UNI
der assumed names, and 1t was not
until several days later that their tden-
tity WAS established by a few OF the
other passengers.
"How General Gurko evaded his
enemies at Petrograd." the correspond
ent says, land reached Archangel; how
he found friends and remained in re-
tircment in Archangel, must remain
secret"
General Gurko told newspaper men
last night that he was given permission
10 leave husslh rs sooH % poSSipic
after his release from imprisonment
in the Fortress of st. Peter and st,
Paul.
81 was imprisoned" the general said,
"because certain letters which l had

cited as evidence Of my i'll feeling tow

Of confinement nothing was found TO
justify trial, ard | was released. My
intention is TO remain in England until
matters in Russia become more set

Dutch Selling Off Cattle
Hollands Livestock Market
Affected by u. S. Embargo
Istar Corrrsponfencel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1e-The Ameri-
can embargo apparently has affected
the Dutch livestock market TO a marked
degree. A dispatch from Consul Frank
W. Mahin, at Amsterdam, made public
to-day, says:
"The price OF cow not giving milk
and sold for slaughter in Holland is
now from $50 TO Sis; of a calf, for
veal, from SIS 10 S35.
"A good milch COW sells for about
sl25. This is a decline of $40 or $50
in comparison with prices few weeks
ago, on account of the scarcity of fod-
der. There is serious talk of slaughter
ing or exporting several hundred thou
sans cattle because Of inability TO feed
them sufficiently"
Members of the Holland commission
IN Washington stated several days ago
that the slaughter OF cattle and all
other livestock in Holland had already
begun and that most of the fresh meat
would be sold to Germany. Il was not
believed here that the cattle would be
sold on the hoof for transportation
alive TO Germany.

Germans Cut Food
OF Belgian and
French Civilians
Conquered Populations Not
Allowed Enough to
Maintain Health

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-The ra.ions
allotted By tho German military author
tiles 20 the civilian population OF the
occupied parts OF Northern France and
Belgium are insufficient 10 MAINTAIN
bodily health and vigor. according TO
details which have just reached the
Food Administration. The French and
Belgian civilians receive considerably
ssss food than the German population,
the report says. and get no meat a. all
except bacon. The potato allowance Of
the French and Belgans Is less than
half the German ration.
The French ration amounts 70 only
one-third Of the standard ration neces-
sary for a person forced TO do slight
physical labor. The weekly ration al
lows sufficient -four for five pounds OF
bread, one-ffth Ola peck OF potatoes,
one cupful Of cereals, 1913 ounces OF
bacon and lard, and ten dominocs OF
sugar. Meat, butter and margarine are
all replaced by bacon and lard. The
allowance Of -four and cereals is slight-
ly increased, while the allowance OF
sugar is reduced.
The ration for the civilian population
in occupied parts of Belgium Is similar
to that Of Northern France, except bacon
and lard are replaced by meat and
butter.
"The German ration, compared with
the ration used as standard for pur-
poses of comparison by the Food Ad-
ministration, shows that in body build
ing protein the Germans have Al Of a
pound, and the standard ration los
pounds" says a Food Administration
statement. "In fats the German ration
contains .43 Of a pound. In carbohy-
drates, the German ration contains AZ
pounds, as compared with 90 pounds
for the standard ration. In total ca
tories, the German ration aggregate
1882, as compared 70 24O00 in the
standard ration.
THE standard ration Is regarded as
sufficient only for person in Sc
den.ary occupation, or one involving
relatively slight physical labor, and yet
il provides two and one-half times a.
much body building protein, and nearly
twice as much fat, and nearly two and
one-half times IS much carbohydrates
as the German ration"

Aid Allies Conference
Attendance Not Only De-
sirable, but Absolutely
Necessary, He Declares

PARIS, Oct. Recommending to-day
on the announcement from Washington
as to the possibility of the United
States being represented in the next
Allied conference, Jules Cambon, gen.
eral secretary to the Ministry Of For
eign Affairs, said:
"We are not merely DESTROYS OF see
ing the United States participate, but
such participation is absolutely neces-
sary, given the essential importance Of
the role the United States will play
not only in the war but in the settle
ment that will follow.
ut seems to me that there is some
misapprehenson, as the question of a
conference has not yet arisen. but only
the question of a meeting of the great
powers to prepare the ground for an
eventual conference. As yet, however,
the date and the details for the prelim-
mary meeting have not been fixed. The
smaller nations will not be included, as
their inclusion would make the number
OF conferrees too great for real work"

Cotton

A further advance met very heavy re
alizing in the cotton market, and was
followed by nervous and irregular
fluctuations. Practically all the active
months made new high records for the
season at the opening, with January
selling at 27.s5, or % points above last
nights close and 1873 points above the
low level of last week. A break to $3.50
for that position was followed by a
rally TO 27.25. with the close at R7l4.
The general list closed steady, net 3
points higher TO points lower
The market opened irregular at an
advance of IL 20 81 points on the I'M
favorable showing of the weather map.
The fresh buying inspired by the ap-
prehension Of a further reduction IN
crop estimates was not sufficient to alb
sorb the profit taking, however, and
prices soon turned easier. There was
Southern selling as well as heavy wall
Street and local realizing on the resc-
ton, which carried the active months
about 45 points under the high level OF
the morning and some 10 TO 20 points
L
the whole, however, the bulk OF the
pressure was attributed TO profit TAX
ing, other selling being held in check by
the bullish weather news. and early
afternoon rallies of 80 20 80 points were
encouraged by the bullish average Of
Southern spot news. Realizing seemed
TO increase on each bulge, with the mar
ket nervous and unsettled in the late
trading.
The detailed weather reports showed
freezing weather at all stations in
Oklahoma; also at several points in
Texas. General rains were reported
over the Eastern belt. with both pri-
vate and official predictions indicating
a drop in temperatures, with light to
killing frosts. Freezing weather SO
soon after the rains would be consid-
cred particularly unfavorable, and late
advices reported that temperatures
were falling rapidly in East Gulf and
South Atlantic states. The situation IN
this respect was the sustaining factor
late in the afternoon.
According TO Eastern belt men few
people In the North can appreciate just
how serious matter freezing tempera-
lures at this time would be, particu-
larly in the Caroinas, where the crop

already been reduced to figures very
much under last years estimated con-
sumption, but nervousness over the
prospect of further damage seemed to
be partly Offset by the extent Of recent
advances and the increasing movement
into sight Exports for the day were
11,141 bales, making 1,l57,526 so far
this season, against 1885, 2S5 last year.
Southern spot markets as officially re-
ported were unchanged to % points
higher. Prices compare as follows:

KANSAS CITY. No.. Oct. le.--Under
the heading "Nov Help the Liberty
Loan" Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will
publish the following article In "The
Kansas City Star" tomorrow morn
ing:
Tho concrete services 10 the United
States which every decent American
not fortunate enough 10 he a soldier
can now render is to buy as many Lib
erty bonds as he can afford.
The Treasury Department has set
forth in the public press the facts
about the campaign which the pro-
Germans in the United States are wag-
ing against the Liberty Loan. Tho
campaign is being wsged by trying to
prevent banks from handling the Lib
erty Loan, and by the publication in
certain newspapers OF articles tending
TO discourage people from investing in
the bonds.
Senator La Tollette's speeches,
which are 30 the same effect, are also
being circulated with a view 70 check
ing popular subscriptions. Senator Ia
Toilette, by the way, represents exact
ly the type which tries 10 prevent the
people from owning the bonds, and,
nevertheless. will in the future prob
ably rail at the purchasers OF the
bonds as having. somehow or other, OBJ
tanned an improper and excessive
profit Inasmuch as the enemies OF the
Liberty Loan arc OF this type. ell pa
triotic Americans should strain every
nerve 10 make the sale 2 success.
Moreover, this happens to be enc
of those rare cases where the perform
ance of a patriotic duty Is first
class financial investment. The patriot
is rendering a great service to the
ration. while he is also making a cap
ital investment for himself. II the
people do not take the bonds, they will
be taken by the big capitalists. The
people have the first call. and while
il is desirable in the interest OF every
body TO make this a peoples loan. IL IS
more desirable from the standpoint
Of the people themselves.
"The investment is absolutely safe.
The men and women who fail TO take
advantage of il are not standing By
the country and they are not standing
by their own interests.
Every man, from the day laborer
10 the bank president, should. accord
ing 20 his means. invest in the Liberty
bonds"
