COTTON LOAN PLAN
DECLARED LAWFUL
Attorney -General Reassures
President in Opinion De-
fending Proposal.
PRICE NOT TO BE FIXED
T"o Restriction Placed on Sale and
No Combination Intended That
Would Be Forbidden by
.'. Anti-Trust Laws.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. No violation
of the anti-trust laws is threatened by
the $135,000,000 cotton loan fund plan,
according- to an opinion handed down
late today by Attorney-General Greg-
erv at the reauest of .President Wilson,
"I am unable to see how such a plan
eould be thought to fall within the pur.
view of the anti-trust laws," the opin
Ion aavs.
The plan was' perfected recently by
bankers and members of the eoerai
Reserve Board and Mr. Gregory's opln.
Ion was rendered after his conference
today with President Wilson. The
Treasury Department made public to
night the following correspondence:
President Htkea Inquiry.
Writing- Mr. Gregory, the President
said:
"I am sending; the enclosed papers.
submitted to me by the Secretary of
the Treasury in order to ascertain
whether In your opinion the proposed
cotton loan fund may ue lawruny
formed, I know that It Is contrary to
the practice of the department to give
opinions beforehand as to- contem
plated transactions, and I think such
opinions ought never In ordinary cir
cumstances be given, but the circum
stances with regard to the handling of
the great cotton crop which have been
created by the European war are most
extraordinary, and seem to justify ex
traordinary action."
"It occurs to me that the fund con
templated stands in a class by Itself.
It is hardly conceivable that such ar
rangements should become settled
practices or furnish precedents which
would be followed in the regular
course' of business or under ordinary
conditions. They are as exceptional in
their nature as fhe circumstances they
are meant to deal with and can hardly
be looked upon as, by possibility even,
dangerous precedents."
Consnmlns; Nations 'at War,
In reply Mr. Gregory -wrote:
"Countries which take annually
about 8,000.000 bales of American cot
ton more than half the crop are now
engaged In war. Trade between the
United States and those countries in
some cases virtually has come to a
complete stop - and in others has been
seriously hindered. Foreign exchange
has been badly demoralized. In conse
quence of these extraordinary condi
tions It has been impossible to obtain
In the usual ways the large amount of
cash required to liquidate the Indebted
ness incurred in the course of raising
and harvesting the cotton crop.
"To meet this situation the plan In
Question has been proposed. It contem
plates the making by a syndicate com
posed principally of banks and bank
ers of a fund of $135,000,000 to be lent
on the security of cotton to borrowers
In the cotton-growing states under the
direction of central committees, com
posed of individual members of the
Federal Reserve Board and various
auxilary committees. -
Restriction Not Involved.
"Nothing In the nature of price-fix
ing, restriction of production, division
of territory or control of markets 1
Involved. Loans will be made as freely
to buyers of cotton as to producers
The members of the syndicate will be
perfectly free to make other loans in
any amount, to any persons, and on any
lawful terms. Borrowers will be under
no restraint whatever as to the price
or the time at which they may sell
their cotton. Nor will their free agency
In borrowing or in not borrowing as
they see lit In any manner be restrict
ed. In short, the plan simply provides
the cash which is imperatively required
to liquidate the Indebtedness incurred
In the course of raising and marketing
the cotton crop, but which cannot now
be obtained from the usual sources OT
supply, because of the extraordinary
conditions prevailing in the money
markets and in the trade of .the world
"The amount of this fund is barely
more than. 1 per cent of the total out
standing loans and discounts 'of bank
ing institutions In the United States,
and is much less than the amount of
cash usually employed In marketing
the cotton crop. Nor would even this
small part of the banking capital of
the United States become impounded
aa a result of the plan; but upon be
ing lent, would return at once Into gen
eral circulation.
"I am unable to see how such a plan
could be thought to Tall within the
purview of the anti-trust laws."
Every available German soldier, he j
says, apparently has been called to the
rront. Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, Brus
sels and Louvaln are rapidly filling up
with an ever-increasing number of
wounded soldiers.
No civilian is allowed near the rail
way stations, but the age of most of
the men who are transported in litters
Indicates that the majority of them are
members of the older landsturm. On
the other hand, trains arriving from
Germany en route to the front are
filled with boys from 17 to 20 years
old who, having volunteered at the be
ginning of the war, are now suffi
ciently trained to enter the combat.
No correspondent. If known. Is al
lowed near the front, but the gist of
opinion of several Dutch correspond
ents who, because they are able to
speak Flemish and behaved like citi
zens, frequently managed to reach vil
lages on the front, is that the Germans
are slowly but surely retreating.
They base their opinion on the fact
that the German division staff on No
vember 2 moved from Thielt to Ghent.
33 kilometers to the east, and that tha
line from Ghent, Alost to Brussels, was
being heavily Intrenched until Novem
ber 1, when toe engineers In charge
were hastily called to the front to fill
vacanrles.
It is clear, according to these corre
spondents, that the Germans have
been concentrating large forces drawn
from the southeastern battle line on
the front near Nieuport and Dlxmude.

B.OULERS, Belgium, Nov. 7, via Lon
don. This city, which was the head
quarters of the German staff during
the attack on Ypres, has suffered ter
ribly. It has been bombarded twice
and was partly destroyed by an incen
diary Are after the Germans had ac
cused citizens of shooting- at - German
soldiers and In retaliation had burned
down a large district occupied by the
working classes.
The Belgians, however, contend that
French cavalry was responsible for the
shooting and deny any participation by
Belgian citizens.
It is impossible to determine the
truth of these accusations and counter
charges, but it is commonly reported
that up to the present time 43 private
citizens have been shot by the Germans,
while a fine of 100,000 ' rrancs was
levied on the town. Later tie fine
was doubled and the money to pay
it collected by the daughters of a
number of prominent citizens, who. In
house-to-house canvass, were able to
raise the amount in cash.
The city is now under strict military
