SEVENTH GERMAN
 LOAN ADVERTISED
 IN AMERICAN WAY
rRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

BERNE. Nor. 1S.-Germany recog- nized fully in its seventh war loan, the value of advertising. It avalied itself to the full of methods that might be called American in their spectacular qualities and that probably contributed materially to such success as the last loan just closed, achieved.
 Yet these advertisements, spectacu- lar and clever as they were, and American as they seemed to be, re- vealed, perhaps, unconsciously, the weakness of the loan. For, despite their spectacular effectiveness they told a story that it is doubtful whether Ger many wanted told.
 The display advertisements that ap- peared daily in every important Ger man journal from the middle of Sep tember until October 14 contained two outstanding features: Almost invar- iably they contained more or less pas sionate and only thinly veihad assur- ances that investment in the loan was safe-which surely would not have been inserted had not there been ser- ious doubt in the minds of the Ger man people who were asked to sub scribe And, again and again, the public was implored to subscribe without thinking, without consider 
 ately asked to abandon it's custo- mary caution in choosing it's invest ments and subscribe merely as a pa triotic duty, regardless of what the value of the investment might be.
 The advertising for the seventh loan, like the fifth and sixth, was op- erated from a central bureau that prepared the "copy'-striking two and three column display advertise ments-aad sent it to every important paper. Provincial papers, in addition, were encouraged to vary the program with advertisements of their own that presented a particular appeal to their own readers Papers in cities bombed by the French interlarded the stock advertisements with appeals to their readers to subscribe to the seventh war loan as an answer to the acts of the entente in bombarding unfortified cities.
 The Stuttgart papers furnish, a good example of the way in which the provincial German press has taken advantage of local happenings to vary the routine advertising sent out from headquarters in Berlin. Immediately following the latest French raid, they came out with the following blank forms for subscribers to sign: ! Tn consequence of the aerial at l have decided to double the amount I originally subscribed to the seventh war loan.'

gether with one Hungarian division, Tn an attack which may be the turning point of the whole operation. It IS here that the Piave front and the Trentlno front meet and General von Krobatin is throwing all his pressure on this point so as to force a wedge between the two Italian armies What his success would mean is fully realized, for should this wedge come through it would not only separate the two Italian armies, but would require the consideration of re- treat from the PiaVe river as it would not be possible to maintain a position on the Piave with the left flank thus menlCed
 General Armando DiaZ, commander in-chief of the Italian army, was able last night to announce the sOlidity of both main fronts and to give merited tribute to his-men. The fighting, while desperate has not yet developed the enemy's full power and it is still to be shown where he will strike his great est blow. But his first shock has been met and checked and the Italian arms have gained new lustre

NATIONAL BANKS
 GROWING SECURE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-The grow ing security of national banks is shown by report issued tonight by Comp troller of the Currency Williams, based on an analysis of bank failures in the United States in the thirty six years since 1881. Up to 1914, depositors' losses from bank failures amounted to 2S cents per S1,000 of all banks de- posits. Within the last three years, however, losses have been only 31a per sl,0O0 of deposits and in the year end ing last June 30, they were noly ? 9.10 cents. Deposits last year totalled S12,- l69,000,000, and losses were $369,000.
 This great reduction in losses,' says MT. Williams, " Is largely the re- suit of the improved system of na- tional bank examination"
 The honor roll of A reserve. cities in which there have been no national bank failures since 1851 was given by the comptroller as follow:
 Albany, Washington, Richmond, At lanta, Charleston, Savannah, Birming- ham, Galveston, Houston, Waco, Chat tanooga. Cleveland, Milwaukee, St Paul, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines. St. Joseph, Omaha, Muskogee, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Ogden.

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

HONOLULU, Nov. 1S.-With all the pomp and ceremony of the ancient Hawaiian funeral ritual, befitting the departure of the last monarch of the islands who had held tenaciously to the traditions of her former domain, Queen Liliuokalani was buried today in the Nuuana cemetery. The entire popula- tion of the city lined the route from the throne room. where the funeral services were held to the burial ground while the procession containing five thousand persons passed
 The United States government was officially represented by Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona, and it's armed forces. Scores of Hawaiian organiza- tionS sent delegations to escort the royal body. The procession included infantry, cavalry and artillery units of the regular army. the national guard. school cadets, Japanese socie- ties, Boy Scouts and many natives.
 The magnificent catafalque was drawn by two hundred and ten native Hawaiians, surrounded by sixty kahili bearers attired in the primitive feather cloaks of the time of King Kamehame- ha. Prince and Princess Kalanianaole were the chief mourners.
 The body of the monarch was en- closed in a rich koa cashet, upon which lay a wreath sent by President Will son.

 OF HINDU PLOT
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S-Joseph w. Moth, arrested here with documents showing connection with the German secret service today, was said to have made statement to government off cials which will result in his being taken before the grand jury and ques- tioned concerning the Hindu revolt plot. the principals in which will go on trial in San Francisco tomorrow.
 The name of Wolf von IgeI, indicted former secretary to Captain Franz Von Papen, was linked with Moths today.
 Moth when faced with his identifica- tion card. his serial number with the Wilhelmstrasse and letters signed both by Bernstorff and Baron Kurt von Reiswitz, admitted he formerly had been member of the German secret police, but denied his connection since the United States entered the war.
 One of the mysteries of the evidence against him in batcn of letters signed by ReisWitz and Bernstorff, with cer- tain words neatly cut out leaving the letters like the perforated rolls of a mechanical piano player.
 Moth was born in Baden Germany. 2S years ago and he was not registered for the draft law nor listed as an alien enemy.

Petrograd is Quiet

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 1S.-Petrograd was quiet up to Wednesday evening according to advices from what are regarded here as reliable sources. The railway employees were refusing to transport troops for either faction and the food situation in the capital was becoming serious.
 There is little definite news from the provinces, but an apparently re- liable report said General kaledines was assembling a considerable force of Cossacls.
 There has been hard fighting at Moscow, where the only resistance tT the Leninites came from the military cadets and the university students. It is feared that the Kremlin has been damaged by the bombardment and that the street fighting was more severe than in Petrograd.
 It is stated that efforts are still being made, but with what prospects of success is unknown, to form an exclusively socialist government. NJ. Tchernoff, who is believed to be with Premier Kerensky, has been suggested among presidential possibilities.
 The correspondent talked with an American business man who left Petrograd Wednesday. He reports that no foreigners in the city had been molested and that Nikolai Lenine said to delegation of foreign diplo mats who called on him at the Smolny institute:
 Instructions have been given to treat foreigners with all considera- tion They are guests of the re- public.'
 The American traveller character ized Lenine as man desiring peace, but said that Leon TrotZky was using violent language and threatening all his opponents with death. Compara- lively little footing was reported.

DEBATE WILL CLEAR AIR
fEepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The parliament tary correspondents of the Sunday newspapers are unanimous in their an- ticipation that tomorroWs debate in the house of commons on Premier Lloyd Georges Paris speech will clear the air and end the controversy which has been raging the past week. They picture the premier in a most militant mood and welcoming the opportunity of defending his plan for an allied war council against his critics-represented as an irreconcilable combination of radicals, pacifists and militant con- serVativeS.
 It is expected MT. Lloyd George will clear away any misconception that his remarks in Paris were intended as a reflection on army leaders.

success had met efforts to organize an all-socialist cabinet, in which neither former Permier Kerensky nor Lenine would be included. M. Tcher- noff, the socialist minister of agricul- ture, was mentioned as the probable premier of the cabinet.
 Though there have been many rum ors of Bosheviki outrages and cruelty, the truth appears to be that there has been no marked violence except against the military cadets, a score of whom were killed. There has been no fight ing in Petrograd since Sunday
 Reports from kieV and other large cities indicate that a new organized resistance against the BelsheviM is being prepared.

Benson. The Italians have now opened the dikes in this sector, which will render the enemy advance difficult.
 While it must be accorded that the full Austro- German strength in the Trentino has not yet been deployed, nevertheless the present temper of the Italian armies and the strong allied re- Inducements which are arriving in the Italian theater should lend us to con- template the future with confidence
 The secretary then reviews at length the military situation in Palestine and Mesopotamia. He asserts that the in- vestment of Jerusalem by the British is taking shape, that Jaffa, the prin- cipal seaport of Palestine, is under al- lied gup-fire and indicates that it's fall is impending, to the great relief of the allied suply lines. That the Turkish forces in Palestine have lost half their effectiveness is noted.
 MT. Baker concludes with the state- ment that the situation in Russia con- tinues disturbed.

New Army Approachino


 PETROGRAD, Nov. 1S.-ReportS of new army composed of various ele- ments from the front and the vanguard of which is said to be close to Cat china, have, sent a new thrill through the city. If the reports are to be cred ited, the aim of the new force is to release the city from the control of the Bolsheviki. It is commanded by Staff Captain Pavloff of the social demo- cratic workmen's party and already has had brushes with the defending out posts of the Bolsheviki army.
 According to some versions, NJ. Ker ensky is returning with the army. Still other reports tell of an armored train approaching from the direction of Moscow. All the reports are impossible of confirmation.
 A report of the inter r-frontal con- gress for the supply of the armies pub lished today, declares the inability of the congress further to carry on the burden laid upon it by the general army committee and that unless the present situation is clarified it will give up the task and not be respon- sible for consequences.
 The Bolsheviki leaders are endeavor- ing to effect the resumption of opera tions by the various branches of the government, most of which have been disorganized by strikes and the re- fusal of employees to work under the Bolsheviki commissioners.
 The newspapers which were sup pressed in the early days of the upris- ing have in some instances been given permission to renew publication, all though the status of the bourgeois press is still indefinite.
 An order of arrest for M. Neratoff. former minister of foreign affairs, and other officials of the foreign ministry is reported to have been isseud.
