 The existing capital issues committee. since its organization three and half months ago, has developed an extensive system of examining the merits of pro- posed securities issues, through the CO., operation of subscommittees in each fed eral reserve district composed of bank CTS and business men acting as volun- teers, and this machinery probably will be used by the new organization.
 The committee in the past three and half months has approved new issues aggregating s1os,Ooo GOO, approved refund- ing obligations which did not involve is- suance of new capital, amounting to $2ss. .0o0, 900, and has disapproved si4,o0o.0Oo. In addition. arrangements were made in formally for the postponement of more than S,000,000 securities, and many mill ions were frowned upon by the district subcommittees and thus prevented from going on the market.

 The ministerial crisis in Austria Is considered here as having an organic significance.

 The present battle opened with bombardment of the British and French lines from Betern to Voorine- xeele. distance of 12 miles. Then came reports of spread of the fight ing around the curve in the line in front of Ypres until the Belglan armies, north of the city, were in volyed. Field Marshal Haigs official report anxiously awaited. brought the news that the utmost efforts of the Germans had been fruitless all along the line The field marshaPs state- ment said that the Teutons had paid great price and had gained virtually nothing.
 The battle still continues along the front, but there is little indication that an immediate withdrawal from Ypres is contemplated by the allies, at least not until they have exacted from the enemy great sacrifice of human lives
 The only point at which the Germans made any gains was on the hilly sec ton of the front back of Kennel hill. where the French are standing. At some points the enemy was able to occupy portions of the line but from the greater part of these they were driven out by the French. who re-es- tablished their defenses.

Bitter Fighting All Along Line Continues, and Huns Still Hope

London, April 2. Powerful attacks by the Ger mans against the French and British positions be- tween Meteren and Zillebeke today were repulsed, the Germans losing heavily, according to the re- port from Field Marshal Haig tonight.
 The British line held absolutely, but at various points the Germans gained foothold in the French positions only to be driven out later from the greater part of this territory.
 The Belgians also repulsed heavy attacks, in- flicting severe casualties on the enemy.

Frontal attacks on Ypres would seem tosTindicate that there Is little confidence in the German general staff that the Ypres positions can be out flanked from the south. The lines as they stand today are very strong and withstood the onset of the Germans m 1914. when the Teuton Emperors army was a much different machine than it is today.
 The bloody repulse of the Germans i'll their great rlunge forward will mean much in further operations in that sec tor of che battle line
 While the struggle was going on before Ypres, the British positions from La Bassee tc Houthholst wood and from Lens to Vimy were deluged with shells, but so far there has been no infantry fighting reported from that part of the front. An attack of this salient in .he German lines is expected soon. however. for 1t stands as constant menace 70 a further advance by the enemy.
 Germany has presented a virtual uiti- matum to Russia demanding that able bodied German prisoners of war be sent home at once. proposing, in return. that only sick and incapacitated Russians held in German prison camps shall be turned over in exchange. If the Russian government does not bow to the demand, Germany has threatened to take Petro- grad. A committee of 115 Germans has been appointed to go to the Russian cap- ital to present the demand.
