east Of Nancy and Luneviile.
The German army under the Crown
Prince Is believed to be in danger OF
capture, unless mastery strategy Is ex-
erolsed. The most of the available
roads which II must traverse to keep
pace with the retirement OF the Ger
man troops on both sides are either
held or commanded by the French and
British
Having saved the bulk of it's army
by a retreat that at certain portions
bordered on a rout the German Gem
eral STAFF is now trying to reorganise
for defensive stand SO that another
offensive weapon can be whipped into
shape.
All of the information received here
today indicates that the German flight
is rapidly slackening speed 1t is

the allies show evidences that their
own rapid movements have handi-
capped them, or for a defense OF the
German Empire itself all along the
frontier.
There is no attempt in Paris today
to delude any one with belief that
because of the great victory of the
battle of the Marne the war is over.
German soil is still intact and it is
accepted that there can hardly be a
lasting peace that is not signed in Ber-
lin itself. But every one believes that
the great German menace, a feeling
that the Kaisers war machine was
composed of supermen, has been re-
moved. The French have found that
they can beat the Germans and this |
feeling will aid greatly to the success
of future operations.
Fighting was in progress all along |
the line today. The German rear |
guard is contesting every step of the
way. The lines have been closed up !
and their resistance Is reported much !
stronger than at any time since the !
retreat began. But they are still re-
treating. Their northern lines of COM
munication are endangered and the
pressure on their eastern lines through
Luxembourg and the territory south is
very great.

The Germans have evacuated the
region Of Nancy, which for ten
days resisted and splendidly re-
pulsed all the German attacks.
The attack of September was
personally directed by the Kaiser.
The French took Luneville on

The Germans lost 10000 men at

Permits Banks to Carry
Notes in Their ReServe
Amendment Made by Senate Committee Allows Use of j
Per Cent of Demand Deposits to Release
Gold Otherwise Tied Up.


WASHINGTON Sept 9.-The Senate
Banking and Currency Committee agreed
to-day to report several important amend
ments to the Federal reserve banking
act The most important permits MEM
Der banks to carry reserve bank mote $
up to per cent. OF the net demand de-
posits as part of required reserves. The
purpose liz to release part OF the gold
which otherwise would be impounded in
the reserves and thus help to meet the
demands made by the settlement OF the
large European trade balance.
The appearance of this amendment
caused considerable surprise. for when ac-
ton OF this character was suggested by
New York bankers several weeks ago
Secretary McAdoo and other Treasury
officials frowned on 1t. and Representative
Glass. chairman OF the House Banking
and Currency Committee, went 30 far as
to issue statement attacking u as
unsound In principle and severely criti-
cisng Frank Vanderlip OF the National
City Bank. Also the proposal met with
considerable criticism in the press.
1t Is apparent, however. that to-day S
action was taken upon the recommen da-
tion OF the Federal Reserve Board itself
Chairman owen of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee had a conference with
'he board last night
The decision to have this and Other
amendments adopted indicates the neces-
sity In the minds OF bankers and the
Federal authorities OF easing in every safe
way the conditions imposed on the bank;
during the period of transition from the
old to the new system.

FIRST MOVE IN PLAN
FOR RATE INCREASE
Interstate Commission to
Maintain Quorum for
Emergencies.

WAsHiNGToS, Sept. 3--President Will
son will have an important conference
next Wednesday with leading railroad
presidents. They will discuss tho con-
dition of the carriers brought on by tho
European war.
It is believed this conference will mark
the beginning OF an attempt by the rail-
roads 10 get from the Interstate Com
nerce Commission authority TO increase
rates as a means of meeting the heavy
depletion OF revenues which has resulted
from falling of Of import and export
traffic.
while no announcement OF the purpose
~ the conference was authorized at the
White House. II was learned from an
other source that the railroad presidents
understood they we're expected TO give
the President definite Information as to
the extent to which the railroads finances
have been affected by the war and to
discuss plans for resdjusting them II u
understood that the President took the
initiative IN arranging the conference.
II h noted as significant that the Inter
state Commerce Commission has reas-
timo. and that from now on the COM
mission intends to maintain a quorum to
meet any situation that may arise.
Representatives OF the railroads say
they have been the hardest hit by the
war OF all American corporations because
of their inability to protect themselves
except through recourse to the Inter
state Commerce CommissiOu
The Presidents action in determining
10 inform himself fully as 10 the rail-
road situation resulted from informa-
ION which came to him that the road
revenues had fallen off heavily in August
The Interstate Commerce Commission
shares with the President the belief that
the Federal authority ought to be en-
& ely willing 10 listen TO the arguments
OF the roads that they be permitted to
sdapt themselves to the new conditions.
