Mr.. Morgenthau made no mention in
his dispatch OF demands by the allied
powers upon the Porte, and IL is pre-
sumed the ultimatum, reported from
London, was delivered late yesterday,
promptly rejected. and diplomatic re-
latfons with the allies severed. This
is borne out by the private message
filed at p. m. The prediction is made
that declarations OF war on England
and France would Immediately follow
that on RWisia.
Advices -aceived here under date OF
Thursday indicated that Turkey still
hoped to cos fine her belligerency to
war with Russia.
The government received no word
today as to the probable attitude OF
Roumania and Bulgaria. A beIated
message under date OF September 20,
from Sofia, however, spoke OF q speech
by the King proclaiming Bulgaria's in.
tention to remain neutral.

English treasury officials and New

conclusions as to plans for restoring
foreign exchange, but II is understood
short term paper was agreed to be the
best medium for the settlement of
American obligations in Europe Tho
conference will be resu ID next
week.
IT became apparent today that the
reopeneing OF the New York and Liy-
efpooi cotton exchanges has direct
bearing on the negotiations. The pro.
posed $135,000,000 cotton loan fund
seemed tonight to be assured. 1t is
expected to have a marked effect on
the cotton market. but bankers are
said TO be anxious to see cotton ex-
changes reopened.
With New York and Liverpool In the
market again it IL felt here the cot

wGuld,apen soon after the reserve
banEA begin business November 16.
1t was believed theS1Batter had reach
% d point where negotiations petwe en-
committees OF the exchanges wou,'
bring a definite decision.
As no representative of the New
YORK cotton exchange has been pres.
ent at the meetings here, the attitude
of the federal reserve board and New
York bankers probably would have
an eject on the opening date. Sir
George Paish has often expressed the
belief that American cotton would be
purchased in quantity by English
manufacturers il they had assurance
that the bottom price had been
reached = reopenaing OF the ex.
changes and the $135,0o0.OO0 pool are
expected to furnish the bottom.
it WIS announced tonight that pro-
gress was being made In raising the
loan fund and that clearing house
committees in various CITES were ac-
lively at work. Official reports from
St Louis said $7,500.000 promised

SOCIALISTS OF FRANCE
ARE LOYAL 10 REPUBLIC

Bordeaux, Sept. 24-The attitude
of the French socialists towards the
war is defined in the newspaper, La
France, by socialist who is describ-
ed as zone Of the highest authorities
in Paris"
"Internationalism," he writes, never
meant the suppression of nationality
but an understanding between the ma
tions which naturally presupposes
their existence. Socialists realize that
victory for Germany would be follow
ed by rule of sabre and buried heel
in Europe, while triumph for France
would mean a German republic, a re-
public in Bohemia, a republic in AUS
tria and republic in Hungary, and an
end to European militarism. It would
mean peace assured and all roads to
progress opened.
"The war for us is something more
than a struggle for our sacred nation
al independence; it is the barricade on
which we f6nt for the progress Of
humanity. That is why We have aban-
doned everything for national de-
fense."

SAY war WILL LAST
FROM 9 TO 10 MONTHS

Washington, Sept. 24.-"The war in
Europe will last from nine to eigh-
teen months"
Germany, unless she is superhu-
man, will be defeated"
The foregoing is the cencensus Of
opinion entertained by more than two
score active army officers on duty in
this city and it's environs. Only those
officers Of and above the rank of cap
tain were Intercepted.
Mindful Of the presidents order to
government officers not to comment
on the war, and his plea to his fel-
low countrymen not to engage in dis
cussions there was addressed to more
than three score officers the following
ing instructions with the understand
ing that their names would not be
used in setting forth their replies, and
that their answers were to be wholly
academic, from a military standpoint
and without regard to persors.l sym
pathies.
Questions saxal:
1-How long will the war in Eur
ope last!
(which side will be the victor
Germany and Austria or the Triple
Entente?
From the replies and the reasons at
tached the two answers given were
the result. On the question of how
long will the war last, a majority Of
the officers estimated one year.
In all about sixty officers were
seen. OF this number approximately
twenty followed, literally the presi-
dents instructions and would not dis
cuss in any manner the questions ask
ed.
OF the forty officers who made re.
plies, some of them were general Of
ficers, a number of the rank of col
onel, one onhcer said that Germany
had a fighting chance to win. The
remainder shook their heads-many OF
them gray-and said It was impossi'

BILE for Germany to win. that to do so
she would have to be superhuman.
With about three exceptions the Of
ncers interrogated were Of the line
that is, officers who, in the event Of
war, would go into the field leading
troops.
A remarkable feature of the discus
eions was that in nearly every in
stance the same line of reasoning was
followed in making the opinion. Whe-
Their this was due to the same military
training all the officers have been
through could not be ascertained. The
one thing upon which all agreed was:
This is a war not only of ready
resources but Of all resources, and
until one side has about exhau sted all
It's resources the f1gting will go on"
