Marked Successes Recorded.

Marked successes for the entente

allies arc recorded In the official

statements issued in both London and

Paris today.

On the western front the offenslvo

movement is being vigorously pressed

and further advances have been

scored.

In Asia an Important military move

ment against the Turks has resulted

in a brilliant victory for the British

in Mesopotamia.

On the other hand, the Germans de

clare that they have succeeded in re

capturing a part of the territory the

British had won north of Loos in

northern France.

The beginning of the predicted

drive by 300,000 Austrian and German

troops into Serbia is also reported

from Athens.

Tho French war office emphasizes

the importance of the victory won

by the allies In tholr new offensive

on the western front It recounts

that the Germans have been compell

ed to give up strongly fortified posi

tions on an extended front which they

have been ordered to defend to the

last and declares that they havo suf

fered since the beginning of tho al

lies' offensive tho loss of 120,000 men

In killed, wounded or missing.

Tho total of prisoners taken in the

new movement begun on Saturday

last is given as 23.000, while 79 can

non have been captured.

Big Dents In German Line.

In detailing the last successes the

Paris war office tells of further prog

ress east of Souchez In the Artois

district, where both British and

French had made huge dents in the

German lines south of the important

city of Lille, the taking or which, it

has been argued, would mean the

general falling back of tho German

lines in this region and probably far

to tho north.

Review of War Situation.

London, Sept. 29, 12:55 p. m, Tho

British are battering the third line of

the Germans in the vicinity of Loos.

Tho French are maintaining their of

fensive In Champagne. The Germans

in the Argonne apparently have been

unablo to make importnnt gains and

have refrained from Infantry attacks.

This sums up briefly the situation In

the west, as seen In London today.

No great change in conditions is

shown, but England attaches high 1m

portancc to indications that the high

offensive movement of the allies is

not to be relaxed, as was predicted In

some quarters. A short breathing

spell has been succeeded by tho hard

est pressure on German positions at

tho poinlB weakened or shattered by

the allied rush.

Allies Vill Maintain Pressure.

That it is the intention to main

tain this pressure Ib indicated by a

telegram from Field Marshal French

to tho lord mayor of London, thank

ing him for his message of good will.

The British commander added that

the message encouraged his troops

"to push the immediate success to a

ieally decisive Issue" This leads tho

public to believe there is to be no

stalemate, such as followed the bat

tle of Nueve Chapelle, but that with

new British forces in the field and

ample supplies of ammunition, Gen

eral Joffre and Field Marshal French

plan a real test whether Gorman re

sistance in France and Belgium can

be broken.

Russia, though encouraged by the

progress of her allies in the. west, has

not been doing so well in tho last

day or so. Tho Austrians havo

stemmed the Russian advance lu

southern Poland and re-taken Lutsk.

Tho Germans are renewing tho great

movement against Bvinsk.

Ne Reply From Bulgaria.

Bulgaria has not replied to Foreign

Secretary Grey's "friendly ultimatum"

but special dispatches from Athens

and other points say a change is not

ed at ofia and that events are now

less likely to take a turn unfavorable

to the entente powers.

Dutch Enter Protest.

The Hague, Sept 29, via London,

5:55 p. m. Tho Dutch government

has made a serious protest to Ger

many concerning the passage of Gor

man airships over Dutch territory.

Holland declares It expects Ger

many to take adequate measures to

avoid violation of Dutch territory In

the future.

British Freighter on Fire.

New York, Sept 29. The British

freighter Cresslngton Court which

sailed from Tampa, Fla,, on Septem

ber 1, for La Pallice, has put Into La

Rochelle, Franco, on lre, according

to dispatches received hero today.

AEROPLANES ATTACK SERBIAN

CITIES.

Nish, Sept 28. via London, Sept 29,

7-19 a. m. Tho following official

statement has been issued at the

Serbian war office:

"On the 24th hostile aeroplanes

new over roajervatz cropping twenty

two bombs and killing three men but

doing no damage of military signifi

cance. On the 25th they again drop

ped bombs, killing one man. Tho same

day enemy detachments tried vainly

m Recapture from tho British of

part of the territory won 'from the

Germans north of Loos was announc

ed today by the war office.

French attacks near Souchez and

Nuevillo are said to havo been "part

ly repulsed."

In the Champagne district French

attempts to break through the Ger

man lines are said to havo been un

successful. The text of the statomont follows:

"Western theatre. Tho enemy's at

tempts to break through our lines con

tinue with bitterness in the present

region of attagks. A counter attack,

following another fruitless British at

tack, led to tho recapturing of part

of tho territory we abandoned north

of Loos."

"A fierce British attack from the

region of Loos broke down with

heavy losses.

Germans Repulse French.

"Repeated and stubborn French at

tacks in tho region of Souchez and

Nuevillo were partly repulsod by

Btrong counter attacks.

"In Champagne also all attempts of

the eomy to break through, our lines

were unsuccessful. Tho only result

has been that tho enemy has not yet

been driven out of our trenches again

northwest of Souchez, extending over

a distance of 100 metcre.

French Attacks Break Down.

"Constantly advancing waves of

French attacking troops broko down

before the Inflexible resistance,

"The heavy losses which the enemy

incurred during often repeated, storm

attacks against tho hills at Massiges

were in vain.

"Tho hills havo been maintained

by our troops without a break. At

tempts of the French to recapture

trenches which they lost at La Fille

Morto, failed. The number of pris

oners has been increased.

"In Flanders two British aeroplanes

were shot down. The occupants wero

mado prisoners.

"Eastern theatre of war: Army of

Field Marshan von Hindenburg: The

attack southwestward of Dvinsk has

advanced as far as tho region of Lake

Swenton. South of Lake Drisftiata

and at Postawy cavalry engagements

continue.

"After having effectively supported

tho operations of General von Eich

horn by advancing against tho flank

of the enemy, our cavalry left tho

district near and east of Vileika. The

enemy remained inactive west of Vi

leika. A column of the enemy, which

advanced Incautiously was dispersed

by our artillery. Between Smorgon

and WIschnew our troops are advanc

ing victoriously.

"Nothing of importance has hap

pened in connection with the opera

tions of the armies of Prince Leopold

and Field Marshal von Mackonsen.

"Army of General von Llnsingen

The Russians havo been driven behind

Kormln.and Putllowka."

The officer who gave expression to

these Ideas k Compton Mackenzie,

who is attached to the Intelligence de

partment of tho general staff at the

Dardanelles. Ho reached Athens yes

terday from the front.

Commenting on the situation fur

ther, Captain Mackenzio saLi:

"It Is my opinion that tho co-operation

of Greece with the allies will be

gin tho lust chapter or the war. One

moro gap Jn tho Iron ring around Aus

tria and Germany is being closed.

The final victory will be fought out

on the plains of Hungary. The way

to Berlin lies through Budapest and

Breslau."

Greeks Grow Enthusiastic.

Athens, Sept. 29. Tho successes of

the allies on the western front are

having a visible effect on the situation

in Greece. The people are daily grow

ing more enthusiastic In favor of

war.

ENORMOUS TASK

BEFORE FRANCE

Minister of Munitions Re

views Situation and Needs

of Country in Great

Undertaking.

Paris. Sept 29, 1 50 a. m. While

asserting that French artillery now

is taking its normal part in operations

on the western front, Albert Thomas,

minister of munitions, asserted in an

interview last night that still greater

things must bo accomplished.

"We must go as far as the resour

ces of tho country' permit" he said,

"and farther than our actual resour

ces for there remain others yet to bo

created. The first news from tho

front convinces me we must do more,

always more. All sorts of offers

of work are pouring In but they re

quire sifting. Our role is to direct

tho nation's energies in the right chan

nels. Shells can not bo gathered like

nuts.

France Facing Enormous Task.

"Tho results of the past few days

show the enormous nature of the tisk

still before us and the efficacy of that

already accomplished. We need

moro work, still more organization

and more enterprise. Much remains

to be done In the way of discipline

and organization. There are people

who see in the state's necessity a

gold mine to be oxpiolted. Such la

the flnancie, who circularizes his cli

ents recommending war Industries as

good investments. Wo have had to

defend ourselves from this class. I

may add that the state now has fully

equipped factories at Its disposal,

while, heretofore, everything had to

bo created."

BIG SYNBICATE

BEING FORMED

Organization of Bankers Who

Will Float Half Billion Dol

lar Loan Begun.

COUNTRY-WIDE PLAN

Bonds to Be Sold at Four

Points-Private Individuals

May Buy.

Now York, Sept 29, Definite for

mation of the big syndicate of bankers

who will float the half billion dollar

credit loan to Great Britain and

France was begun today by J. P. Mor

gan & Co., and other financiers who

have been associated with them in

tho negotiations here with the Anglo

French financial commission. It Is

proposed to make the syndicate the

largest of its kind ever seen In this

country and to Include In its member

ship banks, trust companies and in

dividuals from the Atlantic to tho

Pacific.

In every large city or financial cen

ter in tho United States there is to

bo, under the present plan, a group

of bankers who will act as syndicate

managers In their section of the coun

try. In tho south and west, these

groups will operate over somewhat

enlarged areas; in the middle west,

the north Atlantic states and New

England, where the population Is

dense, the groups will, in some cases,

confine their activities practically to

tho city in which the member banks

are located and its Immediate sub

urbs. ,

Great Interest Manifested.

On behalf of J. P. Morgan & Co.

It was said today that interest in tho

project was great and enthusiastic In

practically every section of the Unit

ed States.

How long it will be before the Anglo-French

commission and the syndi

cate managers sign the contract

whose details were officially an

nounced here and In Chicago last

night, was today a matter of surmise.

The agreement, which will be em

bodied In the contract, requires the

ratification of both tho British and

French parliaments and tho contract

cannot bo signed until this Is forth

coming. It is extremely unlikely,

fused or oven delayed.

Official announcement of the de

tails of the loan revealed few depart

ures from the plans previously out

lined in unofficial reports. Nothing

is said about the exclusion of purchas

es of war munitions. The most sur

prising feature was the price at which

the big issue is to be sold to the un

derwriting syndicate; 9C. Previous

reports had ranged from 97 1-2 to 99

The bonds will be placed on the mar

ket at 98 to the investor. The two

per cent dlfferenqe In the prices to

the syndicate and the investor will

provide a profit to the syndicate and

reimburse them for the expenses Inci

dental to the loan's flotation.

Sell Bonds at Four Points.

Because the bonds will be sold four

points under their par value Great

Britain and France will have placed

to their credit here, not $500,000,000

but $480,000,000 In other words the

two nations are paying $20,000,000 for

the privilege of buying American prod

ucts at top of the market prices.

In addition to this $20,000,000, the

two countries will pay $25,000,000 an

nually for five years in interest to

the holders of the bonds.

Individuals May Buy.

Individuals wishing to buy large

blocks of tho bonds may join the

syndicate, it was announced, but a

limit yet to bo disclosed, will bo

placed on individual purchases. To

accommodate small Investors the

bonds will be issued in denominations

as low as $100 and may be paid for in

installments whose amounts are yet

to bo determined.

Details of Foreign Loan.

Chicago, Sept. 29. Details of the

plan under which Chicago bankers

will be aBked to co-operate In float

ing tho $500,000,000 loan to England

and France, tho largest foreign loan

ever offered the United States, were

to be formulated today at a meeting

presided over by Thomas W. Laraont,

representing J. P. Morgan & Co. of

New York.

That the loan will not acquire def

inite form for several days was the

opinion of Mr. Lamont

Commission Returns to N. Y.

Members of the Anglo-French com

mission which arranged for tho loan,

planned to return to New York this

afternoon.

Tho tension among bankers which

has been apparent for 'several days

in fact since tho arrival of the com

mission in New York, ended with the

Issuance of a statement by Lord

Roadlng sotting forth the terms of

the loan. The statement was made

public In New York and Chicago last

night

British Comment on Loan.

London, Sept 29, 12:40 p. m. The

definite announcement of the terms

on which tho Anglo-French loan is to

bo Issued In tho United States, was

about in lino with tho expectations of

British financiers. Though'tho yield

is a shade higher than had been look

ed for originally in some quarters,

the general opinion is that heroic

measures were necessary to remove

the deadlock in exchange transactions

which had been allowed" to continue

for so long.

It Is felt here that the advantage

rests with America in obtaining such

a good rate of interest and facilities

for its export trade, although England

also reaps benefit by the postpone

ment for at least five years of pay

ment vof tho debit for goods re

ceived. Tho question of exchange Is now of

first Importance. Belief Is expressed

In banking and exchange circles that

further measures will be necessary

to bring the rate moro nearly to a

normal figure. It Is known that a

good deal of money Is being held for

remittance aB Boon as cable transfers

reached $4.80.

Gold Still Going Out

Gold Is still going out and will

continue to go In payment of muni

tions. Tho loan now arranged will' cancel

part of the adverse trade balance,

but In view of the coming shipments

of cotton and rain. which will swell

this balance, personB :n closo touch

with the exchange situation here are

of the opinion that further action will

be necessary.

London representatives of Ameri

can financial houses did not care to

comment on the terms of the loan

In the absence of news from their

head offices. A prominent English

banker expressed the opinion that tho

Anglo-French commission had done

well in view of the strong opposition

In America. This is the first loan

Great Britain has negotiated abroad

and although the exchange rate has

recovered only a fraction at present,

the money has not yet been paid over.

The high yield must not be looked

upon, this banker said, as a reflection

on the credit of Great Britain, Inas

much as short term bonds always

yield more than long term loans, and

Americans are accustomed to a high

rate of Interest on short Issues.
