BENEDICT XV IS FAMILIAR
 WITH AMERICA
Cardinal O'Connor Says He Is More Interested in
 States Than Plus.
(By Camille Cianfarra.)

Rome, Sept. 3.--In response to a request by the International News Service 1 have obtained the following interview with Cardinal O'Connor of his impressions of the new pope, Benedict XIV.
 Your request affords me the op portunity of stating that the new pontiff's interest in America is still greater than that of his predecessor.
 q visited him for the second time this morning. Pope Benedict XIV surprised us all by his keen knowl- edge of conditions in church insti- tutions in my diocese and several other American dioceseS. He eX- pressed to me his great admiration for the splendid condition of the church in America and told me he will always help me in whatever l shall undertake in the interests of the spir- itual and temporal welfare of the people.
 "The Pope listened with the deepest interest to the words of cOngratula- tions and encouragement l expressed on behalf of the priests and people of the arch diocese of Boston, and renewed again his blessing upon the diocese, it's priests, it's people and it's institutions of charity and learning
 The cardinal will sail for home on the Canopic. and Cardinal Gibbons is also endeavoring to obtain pas sage on the same steamer.

agreement reached in New York to establish international differences on future contracts at 150 points and to margin down to 9.90 for December in New York and to 5.70d in Liverpool for January -Febl Aary, the purpose being the eventual reduction of the straddle interest.
 Those who took part in the mem bership meeting made it plain that they did not object to differences in prices established by the information al conference, but they did not favor the demand that until liquidated mar gins should be deposited in trust to meet the prices established.
 Brokers complain that they would be compelled to put up margins to meet losses on the long end of strad- dies in Liverpool and at the same time they would have to put up margins to meet the decline on the short end of the straddle on this side.
 A decided stand was taken against what was termed the paying of un- earned profits such as would be rep resented by margins deposted in trust"

ARRANGING ID
 HANDLE COTTON
 OF JEFFERSON Optimism Prevails at Big Gathering of Bankers and
 Business Men. BANKS WILL AID
 COTTON GROWERS Proposal to Memoriaiize Congress to Take Up 5.OOO,OOO Bales at l2 Cents Considered Another
 Meeting Saturday.

A meeting of the business interests
 of the city called by the different iobDers and cotton factors for the
 purpose of arranging a system ol credit and arrive at some concluslon
 as to marketing the cotton raised in this section, was held yesterday af-
 ternoon at the Chamber of Commerce and attended by over 100 of the lead
 ing business men and bankers of the
 city.
 While no definite steps were taken
 to handle the local output, every one
 present took an optimistic view of
 the situation and at meeting to be
 held next Saturday afternoon ways
 and means will be devised by which
 all of the cotton raised in this section
 will be cared for and the farmers pald
 the highest possible price.
 Secretary F. B. Bloom of the Cham
 Der of Commerce, made a suggestion that the cotton factors and jobbers
 arrange a conference with the banks of the city to~see if they were in a position to handle the situation. If the local banks will be unable to handle the staple committee from the Pine Bluff clearing house and iobbers will go to St. Louis and see what arrangements can be effected to E. B. Bloom then made a motion that a committee of three from the meeting and the same number from the clearing house go to St. Louis the first of this week and see if arrange
 enfs~eould be made with the St. Louis ! banks so that the local banking in
 stitutions could handle all the cot
 ton for this section
 Mayor Simon Bloom offered an amendment to. the motion that the committee wait until s. c. Alexander, | president of the Merchants X Plan ters bank and one of the leading cot
 ton men of the city returns from the
 Eastern money markets and confer
 with him regarding tins move. Mr. Alexander will return Thursday. It was then agreed that the committees should meet with MT. Alexander. and report as to what steps shall be
 taken, will be made at the next. meet ing of the body, Saturday afternoon Banks Encourage.
 1 A number of the bankers express l ed themselves on the question of car

 keeping the prices at the highest pos | sible mark. A. D. Foster cashier oi

Pre- for Final Assault.

London, Sept. 5.-Maubege, the big French fort on the northern frontier, Is being vigorously bombarded by the Germans according to an official re- port from Bordeaux. The fortress is offering vigorous resistance.
 Simultaneously Central News dispatch from Copenhagen reports General von Stein, a German general officer as claiming that all the northern frontier forts are in the hands of the Germans, except Mau. beuge.
 1t is concluded therefore, that as final preliminary before the ad. vance on Paris, the Germans have de. termined to reduce this last menace to their communication in the rear.
 At the same time, sudden shift in the German plans on the allies left wing is apparent An official state ment from Bordeaux says the enemy instead of marching direct On Paris seems to have taken a sudden turn eastward, and are now at LaFert- Sous-Jouaree, 300 miles east of Paris. Everything indicates that tomorrow the first grand climax of the cam palgn will be concluded.
 IL is suggested here that the de- termined effort to reduce Maubeuge together with the swing of the east ward of Paris may indicate pur- pose on the part of the Germans to bring their center forward to meet the apex of the v-shaped wedge which they have been driving into the al- lies left before venturing upon a pitched battle outside the outer rim of the Paris forts.

Plan Appears to Be to Reduce Menace t0 Communication Before Attack ing SOIating
 Antwerp.

New york. Sept. o.-The German ambassador to the United states Count Johann von Bernstorii, to- night gave to the International News service the following dispatch winch he received from Berlin. via the say vile, l.. l.. wirless station:
 "Beriin, Sept. 5.-Rhems has fallen into the Germans hands without re sistance.
 "The army of General von BueloW has captured up to today 12,o0O men, 2G0 heavy and l50 light cannon and six colors."
 This message indicates that the army under General von Buelow which has been cooperating with the army under General von Hausen in an advance on CharleVille through Rethel toward Soissons and Rheims had driven back the French except to make a vigorous stan dbehind an en- trenched position. It was already known that the allies had given up LaFerre last Saturday and the French have practically admitted falling back below Rheims.
 But the Berlin wireless indicates that Gen von Beulow's army has in- flicted great losses upon the allies forces. The report of the capture of 40 guns and 12,o00 prisoners to say nothing of six regimental standards, shows, if true, a disaster to the French army of which not even a hint has come officially from Paris.
 Wireless press dispatches from Berlin say that the Cienna news papers state that the whole situation in the northern theatre of war has been improved by the victory scored by the armies of Generals Auffenburg and Vank.
 Ii has been reported that France through group of banks has offered the Italian government loan On a milliard frances Sut that the Italian government has refused to accept the lion.

As Paris Views If.

Paris, Sept. 5.-The general situa- ton as viewed in Paris today may be summarized as follows:
 The Austrian army's only scope now is the defense of Vienna.
 A serious situation has developed between Austria and Italy. The lat ter is reported to be mobilizing to- day.
 In the Balkans the efforts of the pro-German party seem to be meet ing with unexpected difficulties.
 Greece is watching Turkeys atti- tude closely, and Bulgaria will re. main neutral whatever happens.
 At sea Germany's power is ended. fJapan's fleet is blockading Tsing Tau. which it expects to take in three months. The official view here is that ul- innate victory of the allies is beyond question.
