NEW YORK cITTs
 s1oo,ooo,ooo LOAN.
Broad Demand from Out of Town for
 New Notes.

New York, Sept. 1.-The progress of the new s100, ,000, 900 city loan over- shadowed all other domestic financial developments today. To the syndicate the most gratifying feature was the borad demand from out of town, indi- would be left for public offering. Moreover, it is believed that many foreign holders of maturing notes, at tracted by the higher interest yield, are likely to take their share of the new issue instead of cash for the old notes.
 Arrangements for the shipment of a substantial amount of gold to Ottawa in partial payment of the old loan were under way today. The easier ten- dency of exchange indicated that any possible disturbance in connection with gold exports to the Dominion had been overcome.
 In their bearing upon our foreign obligations, the weeks shipments of foodstuffs were not without interest. Exports in that period, while consid- erabIy under the preceding week, were fully one-third larger than in the cor responding week of 1913. That the cotton situation is assuming a more acute phase, however, may be judged from the fact that the Legislatures Of some of the southern states are to hold special sessions to meet condi- tions in that commodity growing out of the European war.
 Known movements of money point to a material cash gain by the clearing house banks this week, the increase being estimated at from S5,000,000 to s7, ,O00, 900. Meantime, the paralysis of the financial markets is reflected in the further decrease of local bank clearings, this weeks decline aggre- gating IT per cent

GERMANS SUFFERED
 FROM ARTILLERY FIRE
Many Bodies Found on the Fields 1T
 the Vicinity of Meaux.

Paris, Sept II. APO p. m.-Some idea of how the Germans were harrassed by artillery fire during their retreat was obtained in visit to the fields near Meaux, the scene of a severe fight yesterday. The German infantry had taken a position in a sunken road, on either side of which were stretched in extended lines hunlmocks, some of them natural and some the work of spades in the hands of German sol- diers.
 Beside many bodies were 40 or 50 empty cartridge shells, while fragments of clothing, caps and knapsacks were scattered about This destruction was wrought by batteries little more than three miles distant.
 Struggling clumps of woods inter vened between the batteries and their mark, but the range had been deter mined by an officer on an elevation a mile from the gunners. He telephoned directions for the firing and through glasses watched the bursting shells.
 The sunken road was filtered with bodies today. Sprawling in ghastly fashion. the faces had almost the same greenish gray hue as the uniforms worn. The road is lined with poplars the branches of which, severed by fragments of shells, were strewn among the dead. In places whole tops of trees had been torn away by the artillery fire.

moved some of their best troops into this section of the theatre of the war, and the Russians are said to have been compelled to withdrew.
 Petrograd says it's only retirements have been it's advance guards who are vance, but the Germans claim to have scored another victxory over the Rus sians, who are said to have received a rather severe check between August 25 and 27.
 It is possible that the Austrians have kept the Russians busy in Galicia just long enough to enable Germany to get her troops into East Prussia before the Russians were able to dis pose of the Austrians and sweep down upon Silesia, Posen and Prussia.
 Servia Celebrates Victory.
 Servia is celebrating another victory over Austria, having taken Semlin, just across the river from Belgrade, the Servian capital, which has been under an intermittent bombardment ever since the commencement of the war. This success it is thought. may enable Servia. which also is advancing into Bosnia. to put an end to the guns which have been so long firing on her capital.
 Turkey has taken advantage of Eu- ropes occupation to abrogate capitu- lations which she so long had objected to-. Her diplomats deny that this means or implies any bellicose atti- Etude on her part and say. Turkey believes the time has arrived when she should enjoy the same status as other independent countries. particu- larly as Great Britain and Austria have just agreed to the abrogations of capit,dations in the territory which Greece recently acquired from the Turkish empire.

DENIAL THAT FRENCH
 HAD ORGANIZED SNIPERS.
Several Other German Statements Are
 Refuted.

Washington, Sept. H. = German statements that snipers had been or ganized by the French two months before the war were denounced tonight at the French embassy as "demonstrat- ably false" Several other German statements were denied in the state ment, which said:
 .The news from Berlin announced yesterday that Maupeuge had been taken with four generals, 400 guns and 10000 men.
 Forty thousand men could not In any case have been made prisoners, for the garrison is less than 20,00O. ! 'The alleged numbers are on a par with the news of the French aeroplane having dropped bombs on Nuremberg. and with that of Frances tireurs (snipers) having been organized two months before the war If they had been, some trace of them would prob- ably have been found since, and none has. The truth is that neither before nor after Germany declared war on France was any such corps organized. And since every Frenchman able to bear arms is called, as a regular. to the colors, one can scarcely imagine what those corps would have been made of
 The statement is denonstrably false,'
 The embassy has been notified by the French government in response to an inquiry about the destruction of his toric buildings in Louvain that while the the Hotel De Vile was not de- stroyed by fire, the scaffoIdinr sur- rounding the building for purposes of repair was burned.

FRENCH TROOPS PRESS
 RETIRING INVADERS,
Sixteen Times the Germans Tried to Cross the River Marne.

Paris. Sept. Il, 11.50 p. m.-The al- es with much ardor. today forced the German invaders to continue the re- tfreInent of their right flank and center from the east of Paris. The Germans abandoned much equipment and at the same time sacrificed many prisoners and left their wounded where they fell.
 The British were again prominent in the pursuit, in which, besides taking a large number of prisoners, they cap cured II cannon. while the French took another German regimenta1 flag
 The German troops further east still maintain their positions, but are being vigorously assafled by the allies. who display remarkable keenness despite the fact that they have been incessant- ly under fire for five days.
 Autos Transport Troops.
 The government has ordered the communicating of every automobile stin in private hands for the purpose of transporting troops and munitions to the front. All the services of the comnissartat to supply the allied ar mics are working without a hitch. AS indicated fin official statements, the allied forces operating south and l north of the River Narne have not ceased since the beginning of the week to hold in check and then throw back the enemy. infiicting considerable los- es in men and material. All who have witnessed the combats agree that around the Marne five Germans were killed for every ally. The Germans tried desperately to cross tho Marne

BRITISH CAVALRY IS
 SHORT OF HORSES.
Continental Armies Have Been Buying
 Pick of Them for Years.

Correspondence of The Associated
 Press.)
 London. Sept. 2.-Shortage Of cav- airy horses is causing British army officials much uneasiness.
 Fox hunting in England and Ireland has encouraged the breeding of light mounts. but unfortunately officers from continental armies have visited the leading English and Irish fairs for years and bought the most select saddlers. Belgium and France have thought nothing of paying $500 for a suitable mount for an officer, while buyers for the English army have sell dom been authorized to pay more than S200. Furthermore, the foreign buyers have paid higher price for three year olds than the English buyers would pay for four years old, the age de- manded by the English army.
 Germany. Italy and Austria have an- nually sent officers to England to pur- chase fine mounts. The English papers very frankly admit the continental of horsef1esh than buyers for the Eng fish army and have added superior judgment of horsef1esh to their ability to pay higher prices.
 In addition to buying desirable mounts in Ireland, the continental ar class mares from Ireland and used them in bringing up the standard of their rcmount stables.
 A general movement has been in augurated by the press for the con- tinuation of fox hunting in spite of the war, as such is declared to be neces- sary for the insurance of the supply of cavalry horses in the future. The gov ernment is also urged to keep all the mares it possibly can in England in connection with the home defense, sending geldings to the scene of the war. A movement is also under way for the establishment of nation studs in connection with the work of army reorganization.

Washington. Sept. 11.-A. Rustem Bey, the Turkish ambassador, ex- plained to Secretary today that Tur- keys abrogation of her conventions and capitulations granting special privileges to towers, was a step talk en to recover her national rights.
 The ambassador pointed out that the effect of the action was not to ter minate the treaties of 1880 and 1882 between the United States and Turkey, but to remove extra-territorial rights which the American government has enjoyed under a moSt-favored nation clause.
 America Not to Take Initiative.
 State department officials studied the treaties and Turkish laws care fully today. but 1t was not determined what the attitude of the United States would be. It was thought the Amer ican government would await the in itiative of the other powers before entering into diplomatic negotiation or the subject
 Discussing informally questions arising out of the abrogation of the conventions, the Turkish ambassador later suggested that an interesting sit nation might arise with reference te Egypt. Here he thought, Great -Bri. tain probably would welcome the re. moval of the capitulations as it Jeff British control of Egypt unencumb- cred by special privileges to other for eigners. He declined to discuss ths effect of Turkeys action on the Flu ropean war. but e1nphatically denied that it was intended as pretext fol war.
 Commercial Treaties Not Affected.
 The ambassador pointed out that while the capitulations were inter woven in most of Turkeys treaties there were many commercial treaties not affected by tthis action. As tt American missions, he made it clea, that they would. be protected as for nlerly under Ottoman law. The principal effects of the abroga- ton. he explained, would be to give Turkey the right to impose what ever customs duties she desirSd, te ievy professional taxes on foreigner: and to substitute the jurisdiction oi Turkish \ courts for extra-territoria rights.

 It is understood that Governor Ham, lin shall ask James B. Forgan, chair man of the committee of bankers which drafted the $150,0OO,000 pool plan. if his committee desire to sug- gest changes as a. result of the action of the New York banks. While it is thought improbable that the commit tee will wish to alter the principle of an underwriting pool, it may advise that the New York banks be left out in any preparations made to care for the European debts of the rest of the country.
 Members of the reserve board have heard indirectly that the Bank of Eng land has taken kindly to the bankers plan and stated its willingness to aid This is taken to mean that the Bank of England will accept the proposal to deposit $25, ,000.

Paris Sept. F. a. m.-A despatch 10 the Hava-s Agency from Rome says the Tribuna states that the appeal of Pope Benedict for peace is preliminary to an encycltcal to the bishops on the same subject and to an initiative aI- ready in the course of execution with the dinerent governments asking for a cessation of hostilities and for the opening of an arbitration congress.
 The Trbuna adds that the apostolic delegate to Washington has been charged with a. confidential mission to President Woodrow Wilson on the subject of arbitration.
