APANHASNOT
BROKEN WORD
Kept Her Pledge With United
States Is Statement By
WI. Taft
UNITED Press Dispatch

New York, October 3-One Of the
most important informal official an
nouncements made in regard to the
relations between the United States
and Japan, was what Former Presi-
dent Taft today declared Viscount
Ishii's pledge that Japan would hold
pressed himself in a telegram to The
United Press sent from New Haven.
he took occasion also to emphasize
The fact that Japan had been scrupul-
Cusly careful throughout her rela-
tons with the United States to OBJ
serve every detail Of gentlemen's
agreements and her treaties as max
ing the Japanese commanders pledge
all the more significant.
"The statement" Judge Taft tele-
graphed, should relieve the hyper
sensitive alarm over the purpose of
Japan in the far east. 1t manifested a
spirit of friendship to the United
States and a pledge to maintain and
keep China from spoilation, which
was most re-assuring. 1t has been
said with respect to the course that
Japan has pursued towards the Unit
ed States that her statesmen had been
most careful to sacredly observe every
obligation entered into with US by that
power.
Japan has kept her original gentle
mems agreement made with the Unit
ed States in 1906 and renewed in
1911 at the time of the new treaty be-
tween the United States and Japan
and has kept it like a gentleman.
"The speech of the viscount was
most re-assuring as to the perman-
ent friendship between Japan and the
United States"

Latin Drive Caused Germans
Draw Troops From West
LINE IS IN THE BALANCE
Teutons Are Making Desperate
Fight to Hold Flanders
Positions

Washington, Oct. 3.-Alarmed by
the success of the Italian drive over
the Bainsizza plateau, Germany is
Withdrawing large numbers of Aus.
trian troops from France and from
Galicia and Bukowina and rushing
them to the Italian front to meet tho
renewed offensive of General Cadorna.
Official dispatches received here from
Rome say the second phase of the
great battle is about to open.
Try to Upset British Plans.
Although Berlin military writer's are
admitting that the Germans can hard.
ly regain the initiative on the western
front, the German high command is
evidently doing its utmost to keep
the British from making the best use
OF their advantage in Flanders.
Apparently dreading the effect of
the next British stroke, Crown Prince
Rupprecht has been launching attack
after attack upon Field Marshal Haig's
troops in an effort to disarrange the
British plans. Similar tactics were
adopted last week on the eve of tbs
renewed British thrust.
Whole Line in Balance.
The record shows the effort of last
week to have been futile. It is too
early yet for the effect of the present
attempt to be developed. The British
commander, however, reports that the
attacks themselves, five in number,
were complete failures.
With the whole German line in
Flanders hanging in the balance as
the military maps show, small sur.
prise is expressed that the German
command is making such desperate ef-
forts to balk the British plans and is
fighting hard for every inch of ground
protecting the Lille Ostend railway,
scant six miles beyond the present
point of the advancing British wedge.
French Hold Positions.
On their front the French are per.
hitting the crown prince to hammer
away at their lines in attacks which
almost invariably are repulsed with
heavy losses.

SERVICE AND LOYALTY
BROUGHT OUT PLAINLY
Patriotism Guiding Star of
Women In Their Work
OBJECT OF CHILD BUREAU
Address Last Evening BY Miss
Julia lathrop; Suffrage
Sentiments

Three prominent women gave ad-
! dresses at the evening session of the
twenty-third annual convention of
the Minnesota Federation of Wom-
tens clubs at the First Presbyterian
church last night. They were Mrs. F.
G. Whitley president of the Wom-
ans auxiliary Council of National De-
Tense for Iowa; Mrs. G. L. Atwood of
st. Cloud, former state president;
and Miss Julia Lathrop, chief Of the
children's bureau, department of
labor, Washington, D. G.
That patriotism is the guiding star
of the women in all their work was
evident from the American flags
which hung suspended among the
russell and gold colors of the fedora
ton which decorated the church
down to the most minor sentence
spoken or suggestion given during
the meetings yesterday. Those who
spoke made strong point Of "serv-
ice and loyalty" and brought out the
fact that the women could better serve
their country by having had the wide
and ennobling experience of club
work through the past years.
Seated on the platform last even

president; Mrs. C. J. Holman, record

PRESSES OF ATHENS
GROUND OUT DUCATS
German Loan to King "Con-
ney" Out Of Ordinary
STIRRED UP Comment
Bank of Greece Has Become
St0rm-Center of Much
Discussion

Athens, September 10-[Corres-
pondence Of The Associated Press.]-
The German advance loan Of $780,
100000 to the recent government of
King Constantine was a financial
transaction quite out of the ordinary,
as now developed under the fierce
scrutiny Of the Venizelos government
which displaced the Constantine re-
gime. AS summed up by M. Venizelos
himself, the peculiar features were:
While huge sum was involved, yet
no real money passed from Berlin to
Athens, as it was all credit trans
action to be settled latter the war"
Also, although no money passed,
Greece finds herself obligated for this
$20,O00,0O0, and is paying interest on
it at per cent. Finally, as stated by
Venizelos, the depreciation of the
German mark was such that of the
$20,000,000 only $12,000,000 was real
lied, making net loss of $8,000,000.
Advance Made Year Ago.
The German advance was made
about year ago, at the time the
Constantine ministry needed funds to
pay the army which had been mobil-
lied. For some reason, however, it
was decided to make it secret trans
action, and not inscribe it in the
budget or report it to parliament
along with other loans. This was
about the time the entente allies pre-
III hn
rehabilitation of the Greek army,
which probably accounts for the loan
being kept secret.
In laying before parliament details
of the affair, M. Venizelos said that
Germany had in effect said: I'm these
critical times, we cannot advance ac-
tual money. But you can order your
government bank to print $20,000,00O
of bank notes, and we will order our
bank to open a credit for $2O,0O0,0O0
payable not today but at the end of
the war"
Presses Set in Operation
This was actually carried out, M.
Venizelos explained, the printing
presses at Athens turning out the
$20,000,O00 in bills, based on the
Berlin deposit, but without any trans
fer of money. The interest began to
run at once. The bank of Greece is
the storm center of this agitation
over the German loan, as it negotiat-
ed the loan and issued the $20,000,000
Of paper money. 1t is a government
bank, and as such it has a status
throughout Europe.
M. Venizelos now announces that
