OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION
SAYS NO CHANGE IN the SITUATION

Paris, Sept. 2S.-G1-16 P. M.>.-The
French official communication issued to-
night after announcing that there has
been no change in the situation on the
battle front since the issuance of the
previous communication, makes some
comments on the battle of the Aisne
The text of the announcement follows:
There has been no change in the stu
alton since the last communication
The battle which is in progress along
the Aisne has extended over eight days,
but it should cause no surprise if one re-
calls the Russo-Japanese war.
The battle of the Marine was an action
undertaken in the open field, which be-
gan with a general resumption of the
offensive by the French army against the
enemy, who did not expect it and had not
had time seriously to organize defensive
positions. The same cannot be said of
the battle of the Aisne, where the adver-
sary, who was retreating, stopped and

AMBASSADOR OF
GERMANY DENIES
He STARTED The
u. S. PEACE MOVES
Count Won Bernstorf
Replies to Speech
Of Churchill

New York, Sept. 23.--Count Won
Bernstorff, German ambassador to the
United States, issued a statement to-
made by winston Churchill, first lord
of Commons.
Mr.. Winston ChurchilPs speech,
the statement read, the violence OF
which may perhaps be excused by his
wish to raise volunteers. tries to con-
vey the opinion that the peace move
ment In the United States and peace
proposals have been started by me. /,
therefore, wish emphatically to state
that / have taken absolutely no in
itiative in this matter and that what
ever peace suggestions have come to
my knowledge have aiways been start
ed by the American government or by
distinguished Americans"
Count Won Bernstorff received from
his government today two official
communications The first read: "Ac-
cording to reliable Galician sources
the Russians have brutalized the jew
ish inhabitants In all places which
they have occupied in Galicia.
They ineite the Ruthenian peasant
population against the Jews and hand
over to them Jewish property and
that of Polish land owners. most of
whom have fled the country. Cruel
ties committed on Jewish inhabitants
by the Russians become worse and
worse each day This contrasts re-
markedly with the Cars manifesto
to his beloved Jews"
The other read: 1T has been said
that the export Of goods from Ger
many is not possible and that conse-
quently neutral countries should get
goods heretofore imported from Ger
many from other countries. The pass
age of goods over German railroads
has been resumed and there is no rea-
son why goods should not be exported
with the exception, of course. of those
the export of which has been forbid
den because of the war. The export
trade of Germany will be resumed
in large measure in the near future.

New York, Sept. 23.--Financial devel-
opments of the day, so far as they bore
upon domestic conditions, were of a
hopeful character. The outcome of the
New York City 500, 600 loan, with
the notes already quoted at a substan-
tial premium, and the energy manifest
ed by the leading bankers of the coun
try in connection with the gold pool
were regarded as sure indications of
returning confidence.
There was a renewal of the gold
movement to Canada, over S3,000,0 600
being shipped to Ottawa, presumably
in connection with the city loan, to
which participants paid their second
instGlment today.
1t Is now generally believed that ex
ports for this account will not exceed
$25, goo 600 and this same sum was men
toned as the probable extent of the
movement across the northern border
for the s100, 100000 pool. 4
Foreign exchange moved uncertainty
again, early bills being sold under
yesterdays high rates, but rebound
ing later on an unexpected demand for
cotton bills, some of which it was said
were for Berlin and Hamburg. In the
local money market loans were made
with more freedom, some at per cent.
The weekly reviews of the steel trade
authorities furnished the only dis
cordant note of the day, 1t being flat
ly declared that conditions have
grown worse instead of better.
Lower prices have stimulated bet
ter demand for copper, but the further
curtailmemnt of operations at Michi-
gan and Montana points of production
is viewed as an infallible barometer
of the adverse conditions in that in
dustry.
Despite a reduction in operating ex-
pcnses of almost 100000. the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad reported net loss
for August of s235.000.

the British were entirely alone. Joffre
wired instructions to the governor OF
Lille to send his garrison of 10000 men
to support the British forces 1t APP
pears, however, that the governor put
the telegram in his pocket for As hours,
in order, he said, to allow the women
and children to evacuate Lille, and
this nearly brought about a defeat OF
the allies. and was certainly one OF
the main reasons why they were OBJ
liged to retreat toward Paris. General
French sent a bitter complaint to Lord
Kitchener
Lord Kitchener was furious. He
made a secret trip to Paris and laid
his complaint against the dilatory gov
ernor of Lille. before President Poin-
care and the French minister of war
The latter, who was a friend of the
general complained against. refused to
punish him. President Poincare, how
ever, to make every concession to Lord
Kitchener, forced the resignation OF
his whole cabinet. A very near crisis
in the affairs of the allies was thus
avoided and Lord Kitchener triumphe d
in his demand. The governor of Lille
has been sent to an obscure post or
duty.

which the British reserves sheltered

came within effective range.
THE British were the best soldiers
that we met" said Sergeant Werner.
lin the first engagements, before their
morale was shaken by repeated de-
feats and heavy losses, they struck
to their trenches doggedly.
THE British We're great at prepar-
ing a trap for us in village. They
would lie low in the houses on either
side of the main street, get machine
guns ready at the windows and when
our columns came along would let
the advance party get clear into town
before opening fire. They usually
got most of the advance party, but
what difference does the loss of so
men or so make in settling big bait
tie? They were great, too, in little
night raids, causing our pickets con-
siderable annoyance, but without af-
fecting the general result.
Our men? / saw some of our boys
the first time under fire, standing up
to dig bullets out Of the walls in
which they had struck or holding up
their caps to catch a bullet" -.
The French machines We're too light
ly built for war purposes, smashed up
too easily and if left out in the rain
outside of a hangar became useless,
according to Sergeant Werner. This
accounted he thought, for the fail
ure of the French aeroplane corps to
accomplish what had been expected Of
it. Casualties in the aviation corps,
he said, had been remarkably light,
considering the risks.

answered Villa that before he would
vouchsafe him an explanation, he de-
manded on Villas part, an explana-
ton of Villas conduct in unwarrant-
ably holding General Obregon..
Instead of giving to Carranza a salts
factory explanation, Villa informed the
first chief that he had given orders to
halt Obregon at Torreon and that the
force under Villas command would not
be represented at the national convention
to be held in Mexico City Oct. l. In con-
cluson Villa said he no longer recognize
ed Carranza as the first chief of the Con-
stitutionalists.
This sudden break between the fore
most factors in Mexicos politics caused
a profound sensation here. Secretary
Bryan would make no comment and
White House officials likewise were ST.
lent.
1t was generally understood, however,
that President Wilson has set no date
for the departure of the American forces
from Vera Cruz and probably would de-
lay the evacuation until the controversy
was adjusted.
