Britain stands firm on allied settlement and trade control
The New York World reports the British government and the Beef Trust reached an accord seen as an offensive alliance. Britain will regulate packing and neutral shipments, with an indemnity of over 15 million dollars to beef interests.

It notes U S war policy hinges on protecting civilians and vessels, while liquor laws in South Dakota emerge as state and rural votes shift toward prohibition ahead of November. France welcomes Russian troops for the western front, prompting debate over war's direction between Allies and Germany.
