Our Credit Sound.

The way the New York banks
stood up last week under the deluge
of European liquidation was a salts
flying proof of the fundamental
soundness of the American financial
situation. After nearly ;$100,000;-l
900 of gold had been shipped abroad
to fill the war chests, when all the
foreign houses were closed and the
New York stock market was over
whelmed with selling orders, the
banks handled the crisis without
tremor, and with very slight advan-
ces in money rates. This admirable
exhibition, however, was due solely
to cool heads, team work and a fortu-
nate supply of cash. Our archaic
financial syssem left one city alone
to bear the burden of the worlds
banking with but a few hours warn
ing. If Wall Streets shoulders had
been less broad and her pockets less
full, there would have been COL
lapse and perhaps a national panic !
The situation is to remedied immedi-
ately by making available under the
Aldrich- Vreeland law enacted during
the :'tress of 1907, and made more
easily accessible by hurried amend
ment of the act. Of that amount
perhaps $100,0o0,O00 will go to the
metropolis and the rest to strategic
cities throughout the country: This,
however, is but makeshift.. The
real remedy lies, of course, in the
new regional banking law. The sud-
den crisin shows the folly of the long
and petty quarrel at Washington
over the presidents ,appointees,
which has delayed the organization
of the governing board. Mr. War
burg will now be confirmed by the
senate, as he should have been weeks
ago. His brains and his information
al banking experience are peculiarly
4 valuable in the present emergency.
= The board will then get down 20
businsis; and with the law once in
full operation, we need have little
fear of stringency, even if crazy Eu-
rope goes ban 4rupt. Our $780,
100000 of gold and silver in the
trust funds of the United States
treasury, together with. the $3.50, z

$40, 900. 900 free gold, affords =
basis of credit which, added to the:

BELG|ANS DRIVE
 BACK GERMANS
Sortie From Antwerp Puts Stop to Bombardment of Malines-Fall of Namur
 May Have Been Caus-
 ed by Zeppelin. .

Paris, Aug. 26..-t Wednesday, war office has issued the following:
 s"rhe commander-in-chief requiring all available forces on the Mouse, has ordered the progressive abandonment of occupied territory. Muelhausen has again been evacuated.
 "A new battle is in progress be- tween Maubeuge department of the Norde) and Donon department of Doubs). On it hangs the fate of France.
 Operations in Alsace along the Rhine would take away troops upon which might depend victory. It is necessary that they all withdraw from Alsace temporarily, in order to assure this final deliverance. It is matter of hard necessity.
 West of the Mouse, as result of orders issued on Sunday by the com mander-in-chi the troops which are to remain on the covering line to take up the defensive are massed as fol- lows:
 "The French and British ..e0ps oc- cupy positions near Given, ~hichh they gained by hard fighting. They are holding their adversaries and sharply checking their attack.
 East of Mouse our troops have re- gained their original positions com manding the roads out of the great forest of Ardennes.
 '"To the right they assumed the offensive, driving the enemy by a fierce onslaught, but General JOffre stopped pursuit so as to re-esttablish his front along the line decided upon on Sunday. In this attack our troops showed remarkable dash. The sixth corps notably inflicted punishment on the enemy close to BirtOn.
 "In Lorraine the two armies have
 begun combined attack, one start ling from Grand Couronne de Nancy and the other from south of Luneville. The engagement which began Mon- P day continues at the time of writing. q Tine sound of cannonading is not Il heard at Nancy as it was Monday"

London, Aug. 25.-The corrrespond- ent at Antwerp of the Evening News telegraphs that a Zeppelin airship which flew over Antwerp last night was brought down by Belgian artil- lery fire six miles outside of Ant werp. The crew of fifteen men were taken prisoners.
 Another dispatch from Antwerp says this Zeppelin before it brought to earth, succeeded in dropping seven or eight bombs into Antwerp. One of the houses wrecked by these mis- siles was situated only 300 yards from the palace of Rink Albert. Seven persons were killed and six seriously injured by the explosion. Some oth- CT houses were half demolished by the falling bombs.
 One bomb partly wrecked the hos pitaal of Saint Elizabeth, but fortu- nately there were no patients in the building. The bombs exploded witf terrific force, and almost threw the inhabitants of Antwerp into a state o panic. l There is intense indignation il Antwerp at the attack upon the hos
 pintal, which was flying the Ret Cross flag.

LAPS ITCHING: TO GET INTO
 THE FIGHTING
Soldiers and Sailors Sign in Blood Petition to Go to
 Front.

Tokio, Aug. 25.-Japan is going about the business of war with great deliberation. The attitude of the navy and war departments stands out in striking contrast to that of the people, who, all over the land, are burning with intense patriotism and war fever.
 A typical illustration prevailing among the populace was furnished today when a petition was received from a number of Japanese soldiers and sailors beseeching their super iors that they be permitted to go to the front The prayer was signed in the blood of the petitioners.
 On the other hand. the plans TOT the movement against Kiauchau are being laid by the navy department with the idea always of avoiding needless sacrifice of life and dirsk tc the vessels of war.
 Mines are reported to have been seen floating in the water around Tsing-Tau. The reported attack on this fertilization by British tor pedo boat destroyer failed to receive confirmation at the navy department today.

 Next Four Days.
RUSH TO ENGLAND
 DOES NOT ABATE
Estimated That Americans Are Hnr. rying From War Stricken Continent at Rate of l,OOG Day-Al
 Steamers Needed.

London Aug. 25.-Nineteen trans Atlantic liners will leave in the next four days carrying upwards Of oO,OO0 Americans. This unequestionably is the largest number of ships and the greatest crowd of Americans ever on the ocean at one time.
 Every berth on every ship ahs been taken. With the continued influx of refugee Americans from the continent at the rate of 1000 day prospects are that the demand will hardly abate for several weeks to come.
 Only nine of the nineteen ships have first-class accommodations.
 According to officials of the Inter- national Mercantile marine, which embraces half a dozen lines now do- ing the bulk of the business between England and the United States, the rush will probably continue through September. Until then every boat that can be pressed into service Will be kept running in the transatlantic lane.'

SLAIN LIKE ANTS.
Bursting of Shells Leaves Mounds of
 Dead and Dying Germans.


 London. Aug. 25.-A fragmentary dispatch. much mutialiated by the censors and delayed two days, has been received from one lnternatlonal News service correspondent who saw the actual beginning of the artillery battle last Saturday on the Sambre river, fifteen miles southwest ol Charleroi. The mutiliated dispatch says:
 "rhe region where l am is covered by dense woods. Looking from a slight elevation 1 could see column after column of German infantry, passing in an endless procession through the valley and moving east.
 "Then l heard, but could not see. the French artillery, which had taken position south of Liege, as it began to send across the valley which the German infantry was traversins French shells, probably melanite.
 They wrought terrific havoc where ever they hit.
 q saw with my eyes one shall near German battalion that had halted temporarily in a cloud of dust.
 "In the fire and smoke that mom- | entarily obscured the human mass when the shell struck it was lmpos- sible to discern anything for rev seconds, although it seemed as if the entire battalion must have been an initiated.
 "After a few seconds when the smoke had cleared away, I could set through powerful glasses few mer pick themselves up and flee. but tn' rest of the dirt covered mass re mained on the ground, like a grea human ant-hill that had been stepped upon.
 "The German artillery quickly go into position to reply to the Frenc artillery. l could not see the batter ies because they were hidden by tn woods. The French fire seemed little quicker, and the roar an screech was more continuous tha that of the Germans"
 The remainder of the dispatch wa cut off by the ce1sors.

No ValOrization of Cotton, Price of Which Must De-
 pend on Economic Laws.
STATE BANKS NOT
 TO ISSUE CURRENCY
Receipt of Any Properly -Gnarded Warehouse Will Be Acceptable as Basis for Currency Issue. Bet
 There'H Be No Imitation.

Washington, Aug. 25.-There will be no valoriZf tion (fixing values), for loan or other purposes of cotton by the secretary of the treasury in the exercise of his authority, under the Aldrich- Vreeland act, to extend the aid of emergency to national banks to the full extent of their needs. through the workings of an inevitable econom- ic law
 Demands of national banks for emergency currency will be naturally based upon the needs of smaller cor respondent financial institutions. The secretary of the treasury is without authority in law to extend such aid to other than national banks and members of the national association.
 The secretary of the treasury, eXer- cising the discretion lodged with him under the Aldrich-Vreeland act, will accept cotton warehouse receipts as security, instead of when attached to commercial paper, for emergency cur rency circulation This means that instead of 30 per cent the amount of commercial paper acceptable against emergency currency circulation, cot ton and other staples under proper supervision is acceptable up to 70 per cent as security for circulation. Ware houses which may issue receipts ac- ceptable as such security need not be bonded warehouses. The secretary Of the treasury is willing to accept the responsibility of warehouses which provide adequate protection for the Of nthnr a. ples and under proper insurance against fire.
 Opposes "Wild Cat Circulation"
 This practically summarizes the promise of relief in the cotton situa- tion and the administration view Of how it will work out. Secretary Me- Adoo stated his position in the course of today's session of the cotton con- ference here, replying to Representa- tive Sissions of Mississippi. who urged that state banks be encouraged to is sue currency by the removal of the legal tax restrictions.
 The secretary of the treasury op- posed a return to what he claimed is "wild cat circulation" pointing out the experience of history of such cur rency and the dangers of an inflated currency to the national welfare.
 Bankers. spinners and producers generally found the assurances Of the government satisfactory. Mr. McAdoC was roundly applauded and number of speakers gave their endorsement to9his point of view. expressing them. s,lves as content with the attitude o1 the administration.
 There was some continued demand for valorization of cotton for loan purposes. The demanad for gretel paternalsm on the part of the gov ernment did not find general favo either among bankers or spinners The administration representatives
