FINANCE
Sharp Rise In Foreign Exchange az
Result Of Organization OF Million
Dollar Gold Pool.

NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-In view OF
the efforts OF bankers OF the country
to organize a 500. O0O. 900 gold pool.
designed primarily to facilitate ex-
change operations between this cen.
tee and Europe. today's sharp rise in
cables and demand bills on LONDON
was regarded as highly significant.
Cables rose TO 4.9Sis, and demand
sold up to 4.97is. The advance was
attributed in some quarters to the be-
lief that the modified British mora
forum. which becomes effective early
in october. might not cover these
forms OF remittance.
Announcement that ARRANGEMENTS
have been perfected under the au-
spices OF the stock exchange for pri-
vste dealings at concessions in I'M
listed stocks. which includes the
curb. was accompanied by intimation
that this is preliminary to a aimilar
step in regularly listed securities. II
is known that many members OF the
exchange deem such action advisable.
but realize that IL cannot well be
taken without the consent OF the local
banks. which hold large amounts or
listed stocks as collateral for out
standing loans.
Bond dealers reported an increased
demand for the new New York city
notes. with a further advance in the
three-year issue.
Local banks are likely to receive
further cash accessions this week. a
gain OF $4,000. 900 10 $4,000. 900 being
foreshadowed in the surface move
ment. Reduction Of loans is also eX-
pected. now that the city loan
negotiations have been completed.

German General Suicide.

London.-The Brussels correspond ent of the Star says a Belgian officer, who escaped from Liege, declares that General Otto von Emmich, the German commander at Liege, killed himself as a result of the reverses the Ger mans have sustained in Belgium. It is stated that General von Emmich's unlimited confidence in the German army and it's style of fighting was shat tered by the events around Liege.
 General von Emmich was 66 years old He joined the army as a volun- teer in 1866 and was promoted two Tears later to lleutenancy. He took part in the Franco-Prussian war in 1S70-71. Afterward he was promoted through all the grades until he became major general in 1901. When he was appointed to the command of the Tenth Army Corps he was made a general.

 London-C CTuesday) A Reuter- dis patch from Brussels says:
 The seat of government has been moved to Antwerp. Measures have been taken for the defense of Brus- sels because of the approach of Ger. man cavalry"
 The Daily Express says:
 There is little doubt that great battle now is occurring in Belgium between the Germans and the Bel gians and French allies
 Our correspondent, in cryptic dispatch from Ghent, indicates that the Germans are advancing on the historic battle-ground of Waterloo and that events of the greatest importance are in progress"
 Brussels dispatch to the Daily Mail says:
 Sharp fighting has been in pro- gress ince Monday morning"
 The left wing of the Belgian army. assembled in force to cover Brus- sels, has advanced from Louvain to Beynard, in the direction of Diest." according to the Brussels correspond ent of the Daily Express.
 Berlin.-(Tuesday)-Th German government, in a note to the Belgian government, intimated that the Bel gians had so brilliantly proved their honor in arms that Germany. after taking Brussels, would be willing to conclude any arrangement compatible with the conflict between Germany and France, and would evacuate Belgium as speedily as war conditions permit ted.
 The Belgium government replied on August 13, again refusing the German proposition.
 London.-(Tuesday)-According to the Times, after the heavy casualties which the Germans incurred before the Liege forts, the kaiser approached King Albert of Belgium through the queen of Holland and promised in recognition of Belgian valor most con siderate treatment of the Belgian popu- lation and full respect for Belgian territory if Belgium would abandon her resistance and allow the German troops right of way through Belgium. These overtures, the Times hays, were firmly rejected by Belgium.

LAPS THREATEN TO
 GET INTO THE FIGHT

Washington.-Japan's sudden entry into the European situation as a fac tor which might quickly increase the range of the great conflict to the Far East, is comanding wide attention.
 The attitude of the United States wlit be one of noninterference in the controversy between Japan and Ger many. This was reflected in the stud led reticence of President Wilson. The president had been asked whether Ja- pans assurance that she eventually would restore Kiau Chau to China in case that territory was obtained from "ermany, was regarded as satisfactory here. MT. Wilson replied that he saw no reason to question Japan's good ialth, but carefully refrained from ex- pressing any opinion on the merits of the ultimatum or Japan's attitude.
 The president feels it incumbent on nimseif,' said Secretary Tumulty, "as the head of neutral nation. to ex- press no opinions whatsoever on the atutude of Japan or any other coun- try"

Promises Made to Poland.

London.-A dispatch to the Reut- CTS Telegram Company from St. Pe- tersburg says. that Grand Duke Mich olas, commander-in-chief of the Rus sian army, has addressed a manifes to to Poland, appealing for the loy- alty of the Poles and promising them autonomy in return. The manifesto reads:
 The hour has sounded when the sacred dream of your fathers may be realized. A hundred and fifty years ago the living body of Poland was torn to pieces, but her soul survived and she lived in hope that for the Polish people would come an hour of regen- eration and reconciliation with Rus sia.
 "The Russian army brings you the solemn news of this reconciliation which effaces the frontiers, severing the Polish people whom it united con jointly under the sceptre of the czar of Russia. Under this sceptre Poland will be born again. free in her reli- zion, her language and autonomous
 Russia expects from you only the loyalty to which history has bound you. With open heart and brotherly hand extended, Great Russia comes to meet you. She believes that the sword which struck her enemies at Greunewald is not yet rusted
 Russia from the shores of the Pa in arms. The dawn of new life com. mences for you. In this glorious dawn is seen the sign of the cross-the sym pol of suffering and the resurrection of a people"

London. Communication with the armies has virtually come 10 an end, while commanders in Begium and along the Franco-German frontier are preparing for trial of strength which promises to develop the greatest bat tie in history
 It is known that the Germans are attempting to swing their right around toward Brussels and Antwerp, but with what success nobody outside the field of operations knows. The same applies to the attack on the Liege forts, one of which, Pontisse, is essen tial to German success, as it is near est to the bridge over the Mouse which the invaders are using to bring troops into Belgium.
 According to a Brussels dispatch to the Reuter- Telegraph Company, timed 9:3o p. m, Saturday, an official state ment has been issued, saying:
 Belgian Army In Good Condition.
 "The situation of our army contin ues excellent Victorious engagements
 
 against the Germans have strengthen ed it's morale and the strategic dispo- sitons remain advantageous for us. Explosions in different directions in dicate that our engineers are destroy ing bridges.
 On all the main roads around Brus- sels entrenchments have been thrown up for the reception of any cf the Ger man cavalry which may approach the | capital. This step is police measure, not a part of the military operations" "
 A Reuter- dispatch from Diest, timed D. m., Saturday, says:
 The night passed quietly here with out attack. It is said the Germans are advancing in the direction of Aero | chot, west of Diest, where an engage ment is imminent It is reported an engagement has occurred at Landen, and the Germans were driven back.
 "A German aviator flew over Tirle- mont in the direction of Diest at noon Saturday, A shell brought him down.

GREATEST BATTLE
 BEGAN SATURDAY
BRUSSELS HELD OUT TO GER MANS AS A 1AlT-GATHER
 ING ABOUT WATERLOO.
Western Newspaper rnicn News Service.

Western Newspaper rnicn News Service
 London. "Wednesday Daily Express correspondent. a Belgian. who was expelled Monday, according to the Belgian governments decision to al low no outside newspaper men in Bel gium, arrived in Ostend Tuesday and sent the following dispatch to his paper:
 The great battle may be said to have begun Saturday when an attack was made on the French positions south of the River Mouse, near Dinant The feint attack, without much weight, was beaten back.
 "On Sunday the real German attack began in an attempt to strike toward Waterloo and France. The battle start ed with the pushing forward of caval- ry supported by infantry and artillery.
 This entire force, as soon as it came in contact with the Belgians, was virtually surrounded and its advance guards exterminate6. The shattered fragments fell back on the massed German armies waiting to attack.
 Later on Sunday the main German attack began from Saint Trond, eleven miles east of Tirlemont. The fighting was tremendous great execution being done on both sides.
 By sheer weight of numbers, the Germans finally forced the Belgians back on their second line. Then the French came up and heavy firing was heard all along the line all day Tues day at Wavre.
 The German advance did not fol- low any of the main highways. They cut across these, using the small roads. The Germans were unable 10 operate their heavier field artillery.
 "The outstanding fact in the devel- l opments of the present week is the dramatic abandonment of Brussels, which was an heroic act of self-abnega- ton by the Belgians. The Belgian state leaders almost broke down and wept in the council chamber when they decided that for the good of Flu rope. Belgium mus; allow the Ger mans to enter Brussels.
 Brussels is being held out to Ger many as a bait. Germany may destroy Brussels, but the deeper she strikes the more surely does her head enter the lions mouth In front and on all sides Germany will find hostile armies.
 History is about to repeat itself. A second emperor is about to meet his Waterloo"
