Have Plan to Aid Allies
if America Fights.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE belief is
growing here each day that the best way
for America to aid the Entente Allies in
the event OF this country being drawn
into the conflict is to throw Immediately
to the cause Of the Allies an immense
amount of credit with which to purchase
in this country supplies to any extent
The belief is based on series Of con-
ferences held recently between prom
inent bankers, the heads OF large manu-
featuring firms and prominent men. in

Col Roosevelt IS understood TO be
fully convinced that with the moral
financial and economic support Of this
country placed squarely behind the AL
lies the war would be shortened by many
months. A number Of conferences are re-
ported to have been held recently in
Oyster Bay, at which this matter has
been thoroughly discussed. and it is un-
derstood the Colonel gave the bankers to
understand that he would throw his
moral support in favor Of such plan

The plan has also been discussed with
Administration officials. including Prcsi-
dent Wilson. Prominent bankers who
have been in Washington to discuss the
situation have intmated that Admins

Parents Refuse Relief
For Blind Children

GREEN BAY, Wis, April 2.-The re-
luctance of parents of blind children in
the lumber camps of northern Wisconsin
to submit their offspring to treatment
tending to the restoration of sight, and
the difficulty in overcoming the objections,
were revealed recently when Mrs. Sarah
Morrell, superintendent of the Wisconsin
division Of the Blind Babies Aid associ-
alton of the United States, brought six
children from Niagara, Wis.,, here for
treatment. Sight will be restored to four
of them while two are beyond human aid.
Driving over trails to camps in tho
northern woods far from railroad lines,
Mrs. Morrell accompanied by Miss Amanda
Anderson, welfare nurse for a paper mill,
found parents, who until pressure was
brought, steadfastly refused offers of
treatment for afflicted children who were
otherwise doomed to total blindness.
AFFECT poverty was found and ameliorat-
ed by the nurse in the case of one man
who supported d wife and nine children on
wages of two dollars a day. None OF the
children was old enough to work.

a sufficient time has elapsed to afford OPP
po%rtunity for general publication and that
the existing practice amounts to unfair
trade, yet the matter Is one of first impress
sion and my decision can not be regarded
sufficiently free from doubt TO justify the
granting Of preliminary injunction upon
this branch Of the case"
! The effect of this opininon is to leave
open for decision upon final hearing the
question whether the Associated Press is
entitled to an Injunction against the APP
preparation of news by the international
News Sedvice after it, publication by the
members Of the Associated Press.
On January 4 the Associated Press,
through its counsel, filed a bill of com
plant in the United States district court
for the southern district of New York
against the International News service, al
leging that the International was engaged
in p~irating the news of the Associated
Press by bribing employees of the Associate
ed Press before publication, and also by
ttkiii- ifDHi %t~-ttihttt TO htNNpeiFi'

Associated Press dispatches and sending
them out as their own.
! Affidayits in support of the bill OF com
plaint were filed, showing that IN the Of
flee of the Evening News of Cleveland, o.,
the telegraph editor of the news was Sc
cretly in the pay of the International News
service and was furnishing that organiza
ton with the substance of Associated
Press news dispatches a soon n received
and that in the Office of the New York
American representatives of the lnterna-
tional News service were permitted to ex-
anime Associated Press news as fast as
received.
II vas also disclosed that a number of
papers receiving the service of the Inter-
national service followed almost instantly
the appearance of Associated Press dis
patches with like kilograms credited to the
international, sometimes ~textuallly repeat

The action was not brought under any
copyright law, but upon the principles of
