Only by Secretary :
WILL INSPECT THE CONDITIONS
TRINIDAD, Colo., Sept. 20. John
D. Rockefeller, jr., arrived here at
S o'clock today lor an inspection of
the properties of th Colorado Fuel
and Iron company. Mr. Rockefeller
and his party probably will spend
two or three weeks In Colorado.
No definite Itinerary has been
planned. It is expected that the
program will be arranged from day
to day In accordance with Mr. Rock
efeller's wishes and convenience.
The Colorado visit of Mr. Rockefeller,
as active representative of tho principal
owning interest of tho Colorado Fuel and
Iron company, has been planned since
early in the. year. It had its inception
at the New York hearinirs before the
federal Commission on Industrial relations.
Invited lr Mather Jonfi,
On January 27 Mr. Rockefeller was a
witness before the commission. After
leaving the stand for the noon recess, the
capitalist stopped to speak to "Mother"
Jones, whom he previously had invited
to call upon him and talk over the Colo
rado labor situation.
"After we have our conference," said
"Mother" Mary Jones, "I want you to
. come out to Colorado with me and see
the things I have seen. I am sure what
you see will make you do things and will
make you one of the greatest men."
Rockefeller said he might go to Colo
rado with ' "Mother" Jones.
The next day Mrs. Jones issued a state
ment in which she expressed the hope
that Mr. Rockefeller would visit Colo
rado "while the ashes of Ludlow are still
hot."
Other labor leaders present at the in
dustrial relations healing urged Rocke
feller to visit the scenes of the recently
ended Colorado coal miners' strike, and it
was agreed that he would make the trip
as soon aa business affairs and other
matters would permit him to leave the
east. The trip waa planned for April,
but the death on AprU 1 of Senator
Nelson W. Aldrich, Mr. Rockefeller's
father-in-law, forced a postponement.
Other1 causes of deloy prevented Mr.
Rockefeller starting for the west until
last week.
Accompanied Only by Secretary.

Exports of munitions, It was esti

of American shipments to Great

It would not be difficult then to find
a method of paying for , munitions. If It
were necessary to adopt a different
method. It Is believed. Gold or American
securities or both or even some other
method of payment could be arranged.
On this point the Anglo-French com

reported to have taken the attitude that
their flrnt task was to stabilise exchange)

SYNDICATE WILL
UNDERWRITE LOAN
Rate Will Be Five Per Cent and
Bonds Will Be First Lien on All
British and French Assets.
MANY BANKS TO PARTICIPATE
NEW YORK. Sept. 20. The larg
est underwriting syndicate the w eat
er n world has ever known was In
process of formation today to handle
tbe prosped "billion-dollar" credit
loan to Great Urltaln and France,
which now has shrunk, It was re
ported to a sum yet to be determined,
between $600,000,000 and $800.
000,000. This syndicate, according to tenta
tive arrangements said to have been
agreed upon, will comprise national
and state banks and trust companies
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A
number of so-called pro-German
financiers, It was reported, will Join
llie syndicate, if it be finally agreed
that the proceeds of the big loan
shall be available for commodity ex
ports and not for war munitions.
Hate Is IMe Per tent.
The rrtce at which vtntr syndicate will
put out the nrltlih and French govern
ment bond Issuo to secure the loan, will
be par. The bonds will pay B per cent
Interest and will be a first mortgage
upon the entire liritlsh empire and France
and Ita colonies. All other obligations
of the two nations will be subordinated
to tho proposed big bond Issue here. Even
the tttaggorlng sums ml pod by bond is
aues at home with which the war has
been carried on, will como xecond to the
loan to be floated here when tho time
comes to pay the principal.
For tho flmt time In history the Kng
llsh pound sterling hits yielded first place
In International finance to the American
dollar in this respect. Ttie whole big
issue of bonds will he payable In Ameri
can dollars, principal and Interest.
The bonds will run five or ten years;
It la not et known which.
Many .llnnba U l Participate.
It Is regarded as certain that the mem
bers of the syndlcttte of underwrites
will oonsiMt of hundreds of Institutions
and poafttbty thousands. These banks
will be given a small profit on the trans
action, somewhere in the neighborhood
of one-half of 1 per cent, It la believed.
The next big question to be settled,
it waa said, whether munitions of war
should be paid for out of the proceeds of
the loan. The commission is said to be
lieve that the loans should cover muni
tions; a great many American bankers
think It ahould not.

GREAT BATTLE
IS PENDING TO
SOUTH OF ViLtlA
Large Russian Army that Evacuated
the City is Now Menaced by
the Great German
Loop.
LIKE FLIGHT FROM WARSAW
Deep Concern is Felt in London for
Safety of Retiring- Russian
Forces.
COUNTER BLOW IS NECESSAR1
LONDON, Sept. 20. The Russian
army menaced since the fall of Vllna
by the German encircling movement
Is estimated variously at 250,000 to
600,000 men. The conditions under
which the R.isslans are attempting to
extricate themselves furnish a strik
ing parallel to those which followed
the capture of Warsaw. They may
precipitate one of the greatest, If not
the greatest, battle which has been
fought on the eastern front.
Although no official confirmation has
been received In Ixindon from Potrograd
this morning or the fall of Vllna, the
British press has accepted the German
claim readily In view of the situation
that had been developing. Concern Is
expressed for the retiring Hub-Inn forces.
Bo far aa can be Judged Field Marshal
von Hlndenliurg'a troups have flung a
loop about the Russians over a front of
some 200 miles, and are not only in thelt
rear, but are menacing seriously the
single railway line and the few available
wagon roads stretching to the south.
Aa was the case at Warsaw, the num
ber of Russian prisoners left behind with
the evacuation of Vllna waa not great.
Apparently the only Vay in wjilch the
retiring forces may ameliorate the seem
ingly bad situation la by a counter blow.
One fhanee for Hetarn Blow.
It is pointed out that Von Hlndenburg' s
cavalry has penetrated ao deeply Into hoe
tile country aa to create a salient open
to sudden attack. If the Ruasiana ahould
be able to command reinforcements at the
proper time and place, but It la not be
lieved here that his opponents are In a
position to deal such a blow effectively.
There Is great deal of speculation aa to
the German objective. Opinion la di
vided whether Von Hlndenburg will aeek
merely to close hla loop, thua oapturlng
the army within the net, or, not content
with this, will press eastward toward
Minsk, and from the west through Slonl
In an effort to reproduce the encircling
movement on a more gigantic scale and
again. try far a decisive victory, Similar
taetlcs attempted after the fall of War
saw met with failure. The Russians are
employing their familiar rear guard tac
tlca and the hope la expressed In the
Hrltlsh press that they will be able to
fight, their way out without shattering
loasea.
Next to Warsaw, Vllna Is the moat Im
portant town in Western Russia. It Is
a railway Junction of great military im
portance. It Waa from Vllna that Na-
