Paris, Oct. THE mixing move
ment OF the allied left to-day had
, thrust It's cavalry buffers to tho frcn-
tier Of Belgium, where, north Of Lille,
the important" mounted body Of Ger.
mans mentioned in yesterdays com
munique as barring the way, was thrust
back.
The allied troops also held stationary
the cavalry operating between Arras
and Lille, nearer the body Of General
Won Kluck's army.
The reverse TO the Allies a few days
ago around Roye was wiped out to-day
by the recovery of the lost strip from
the Germans.
To-nights official statement, more
than usually optimistic in tone from
the French standpoint, is as follows:
Except on the two wings. where ths
German attacks have been repulsed,
there has been nearly complete calm
along the front
"On our left wing the German cav
airy has been held in check; 70 the
north of Lille it has been driven back.
Between Chaulnes and Roye the
ground previously ceded has been re
| taken.
"On the centre VIC have made an ad.
vance at certain points. There is moth
ing TO report on our right wing
The afternoon communication, which
spoke of the fighting on the frontier
as in progress but without result, says:
"On our left wing the battle still
continues with great violence. The op-
posing fronts extend into the region
between Lens mine miles northeast o.
Arras) and La Bassee (thirteen miles
southeast Of Lille and are heightened
By masses of cavalry, which are in
grips rs far as the vicinity of Are
mentieres mine miles northwest OF
Lille and virtually on the Belgian fron-
tier.
"On the front extending from tho
Somme 20 the Meuse there is nothing
to report.
"ln the Woevre district the enemy
made new effort to stop our prog
ress. but his attacks again failed"
London. Oct. THE Official Press
Bureau tonight issued the following
statement:
",.orth Of the Disc and at Lens there
is hard lighting
Elsewhere a slight advance or re-
treat varies. Throughout the line the
reports are generally satisfactory.
THE French army Is lighting with
the greatest dash and bravery.
The Germans attacking Antwerp
have pushed forward their positions
against considerable resistance by the
garrison"

BRITISH SHIPS AGAIN
TO SAIL SOUTHWARK

A significant cable message from the
home Office Of the Lampor. & Holt
Line in London was received yester-
day by Busk & Daniels, the New York
agents, ordering that the company's
full service between this port and
South America be resumed at once.
No reason was given for the sudden
resumption Of the service, but il is
generally understood that the deciding
factor was the clearing OF the lanes
between New York and the Argentine
o: the German cruisers Karlsruhe,
Dresden and the converted North Ger
man Lloyd liner Kronzprinz Wilhelm.
These warships. which have sunk
three or four British merchantmen,
with cargoes valued at about ,S2,5OO,-
O00. have been causing a suspension
of practically all shipping in British
bottoms between North and South
America.

mail and freight service TO the Bar
bados. Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Santos,

SECOND EXPLOIT
OF KIND FOR E-9
Torpedo Sends Kaiser's
Vessel to the Bottom in
Three Minutes.
GUARDS OF DUTCH
COAST SEE ACTION
Sister Ships Quickly Rush 20
the Rescue of Survivors of
Crew in the Water.

London, Oct. 7.--Submarine E-9 OF
the British navy, under command OF
Lieutenant Commander Max X. Horton,
Yesterday made another raid into Ger
man waters off the mouth of the RIVER
Ems ard succeeded in sinking Ger
man torpedo boat destroyer.
II was this same submarine, under
the same commander, which made
similar dash and sank the German
cruiser Hels off Helgoland Septem-
ber -.
The Admralty's report Of the later
exploi, adds that E'9 returned safely
to her home port. .,..
The action took place at ! o'clock
Yesterday. and was witnessed by the
Dutch coast guards on the Dutcn ISL
and of Schiermonnikoog, in the North
Sea. or the province Of Friesland.
The weather was clear, and the sea
calm, and the destroyer could plainly
be seen cruising before the mouth OF
the Fms. Suddenly the observers sa"
a high column Of water rise near the
bow of the destroyer. The vessel I'M
mediatcly turned over and sank IN
three minutes.
shortly after the explosion the peri
scope of the submarine came above the
surface Of the water for a moment, but
as soon as those on board the plunger
saw that their torpedo had struck its
mark the vessel was again submerged.
A German cruiser and torpedo boats
came quickly 10 the rescue OF the crew
of the destroyer. who could be seen
swimming about in the vicinity of the
disaster or clIngine to the wreckage OF
their sunken ship.
As Schiermonnikoog is close TO the
island Of Borkum, where the Germans
have naval base, and within sixty
miles Of Helgoland and the naval
arsenal AT Wilhelmshayen the dash OF
the submarine is considered here par
tcularly daring one.
The Dutch naval staff announces that
the sinking Of the destroyer occurred
seven miles off Schiermonnlkoog and
we'll outside Dutch territorial waters
A Central News dispatch from Har-
wick. England, says that rumor is IN
circulation there of the sinking OF
German cruiser in addition to the Ger
man torpedo boat destroyer.
Hatwich, Oct. All the men OF the
submarine E-9. which has arrived here,
are iubilant over the second successful
attempt of the little craft against a
German war vessel. One OF the mem
bers Of the crew in an interview said;
"Our commander was at the PERI
scope and ordered the forward tubes
TO be fired. fired the first tube, but
could no. say whether my missile hit.
We then rose 70 the surface and the
commander said: Look at her; the
beggar is going down.
"Thcn we saw the German rise per-
pendicularly. and her men rushed 70
the stern and dived into the water;
The submarine was then submerged
ard made her way back to Harwich.
81 don't want to boast, but we got
our torpedoes home"

WORLDWIDE CREDIT
BUREAU IS PLAN
War May Interfere with
International Clear
ing House.

New York bankers seek 70 establish
a huge international credit bureau
which will arrange credits in the same
fashion that the New York Clearing
House operates, With the difference
that nothing will be paid except actual
balances in gold.
II is understood by The Tribune that
the Morgan interests are at the head
of the scheme and that j. 7. Morgan
has arranged conferences with Presl-
dent Wilson and Secretsry-Mc OF
the Treasury Department In order,
however, that such bureau could be
established il would first be necessary
70 obtain the consent of all the bellig-
erent nations.
Some difficulty is expected IN this re-
gard. for it is believed that England
and France may oppose objection to
Germany's entrance into such a combi-
nation on the principle that afording
Germany credit would enable her 70
carry on the war for longer period.
At present the German government an
nounces that Germany is still rich and
that there is vast reserve war fund
in the julius Tower at Spandau
The consent OF tho new Federal Re
serve Board must also be obtained and
:. &c said tha, several New York. Phil
adelphia and Boston bankers have been
interviewing members Of the board Tor
the last week. Mr.. Morgan is said TO
have used his best efforts to interest

nointment has been made FOR nm

Berlin, Oct. 7.-(By Wireless to Say
Wills, Long Island The German Gen
|. eral Staff, in its report to-day ON the
situation in the western arena of the
war, says the fighting on the German
right wing in France has been success
full.
Despite the general expectations that
a slight pause would be made in the
advance of the Germans on Antwerp, il
was reported to-day in government
quarters that two more forts had fallen
into German hands. They were Fort
Kessel and Fort Broochen respectively
cast and north of Lierre), which were
no longer able TO resist the destructive
power Of the German siege guns.
The capitulation of Antwerp, accord
ing to German military authorities, can
only be a matter of couple Of days.
To Attack Inner Forts.
News received here Of the situation
before Antwerp sets forth that the Ger
man big guns have been advanced to
new positions for the bombardment OF
the inner line of forts. The military
critic Of the "Lokal Anzeiger" eX-
presses the opinion that a heavy bonn
bardment will be necessary before a
breach in these closely linked fortifica-
tions can be made. lie says desperate
sorties may be expected.
The German Admiralty has reiter-
ated its declaration that German mines
have been laid only along the coast
Of Great Britain.
The British announcement concern
ing the laying Of mines in the south
erly part Of the North Sea is published
in Berlin this morning. Commenting
or this measure, it was pointed out
here that it virtually closes the Chan
mel TO neutral shipping, and that this
belt Of mines stretching between
Ramsgate and Ostend constitutes an
effective, although unofficial, blockade
Of the ports Of Holland. The pros
poets of navigation when the storms
Of winter tear these mines loose from
thcir snchorages are not particularly
pleasant.
Press matter given out in Berlin
oascial circles to-day includes the fol-
lowing:
"Bie battles between German and
Rrssian armies in Poland may soon
be expected to take place.
"Belgian officers some days ago sent
an unguided railway train 10 destroy
the transports of the big German
siege howitzers. The vigilance of the
German railway troops, however. frus-
trated the plan.
"Cerman newspapers speak Of the
possibility Of Portugal declaring war
against Germany.
Says Indians We're Deceived.
According 10 the Berlin 'Loksl An
zeiger,' Great Britain transported the
Indian Mahometsn troops 10 France
because these troops would perhaps
become dangerous in the Indian un-
rest. The troops were told they were
being sent 10 Europe for military
tournament.
"Servian papers published at Nish
declare that Russia's policy has forced
Servia into desperate situation,
which may result in total break
down.
