CAN MAINTAIN WAR FOR YEAR.

German Financial Resources Strong
Conflict Costs Her 100000 Day.
Berlin, via London, Sept. 30.-The
response of the German public to the
efforts Of the government to raise
war fund of $1,250,O0O,000 has, it is
asserted here, removed all anxiety
the nation may have had regarding
its ability to meet financial obliga-
tions due to the war.
According to military authorities
the war is costing Germany about
$5,000,0C0 day, inclusive of the
money spent on behalf of those who
have been deprived Of their bread
winners. The means Of the govern
ment at the beginning of the war, not
counting the permanent war treasure,
but including the reserve funds of the
Reichs bank, amounted to about $685.
100000, which, in the meantime how
ever, has been considerably increased
through the issue of notes.
The amount which the government
could borrow from the Reichbank is
unknown at the present time, but it is
estimated at about $750,000,000, max
ing a total of about s2,OOO,OO0, 900. At
the rate of 100000 day, this sum
would permit Germany to carry on the
war for over a year.

London, Oct 2.-London was electri-

miles from the Belgian border.
The dispatch, which purported to
have been transmitted from Berlin,
via Amsterdam, attributed the state
ment to a no less important official
source than the German general staff.
The report stated that the French
were in sufficient force to administer
a defeat to the battalion of the Ger
man landwehr which contested its
advance.
French sharpshooters, according to
the dispatch, had fired upon the mill
tary hospital in Orchies and the Ger
mans destroyed the town.

The German official statement, re-
ceived by way of Amsterdam, calls the
battle here indecisive, but admits re-
newai of French advances in the vicin
fty of Verdun.

have advanced to positions north Of
