ENGLAND's COMMERCE.

Great Britain's economic condition,
judging by the available data, is adjust
ing itself to the war with a success which
cannot be claimed for her great enemy
across the North Sea. September exports
and imports, while much reduced in vol
ume. aggregated some $355, 10000 and the
indications are that this foreign trade
will increase as the war continues. While
her Continental markets are largely
ruined, England is pressing energetically
in the neutral markets Of the world for
trade and her splendid shipping and
banking organizations give her real ad-
vantages in that direction.
England can still import from, or ex-
port to, the ends of the earth, while
Germany remains blockaded as tight as
a drumhead. Antwerp will not benefit
Germany in the slightest degree in re-
establishing her foreign commerce. Eng
lands cotton textile industry is not -four
ishing, but England can import raw
cotton without difficulty, as she needs It.
Both countries have an immense stake
in foreign trade, and the enormous ad-
vantage the British now enjoy in this re-
spcet must tell powerfully as time passes.
The intimate relations between the
United Kingdom and all parts of the Brit
ish empire remain undisturbed, and the
vigorous young democracies Of the anti
podes and Canada must be an increas-
ing source of strength to the mother
country. As a creditor nation, England
has financial resources that have not yet
been touched. Her investing and capi-
talistic class is the wealthiest in the
world and they can draw tribute from
the ends Of the earh.
The Germans will be as helpless as Ma
polean in the long test of endurance,
against the nation Of shopkeepers" un-
less they can somehow destroy the Brit
ish feet. British sea power and British
gold are terrible foes. And Germany
has scarcely scratched either Of them
From this point Of view the British
people have hardly begun to Tight

CROSSING RIVER
MAY BE FATAL
Small German Force May
Find User Position One of
Great Danger.
CANNOT USE TRENCHES
Shelter Selves Behind Houses, but Are
Forced to Retreat When Allies
Batter Down Shields.
CANNOT USE TRENCHES
By ANDRE BEAUMONT.

In France. Oct. 2S.-It is true that a
small contingent of Germans have sue
ceeded after terrible devastation in
their ranks In crossing the User, but
this. instead Of being an advantage to
them. is rather a danger. as may be
shown before long.
It is not sufflcient in such territory
to have crossed a river or canal, for
the country is nothing but a network
Of them. An army must avoid hHv-
ing it's back up against one of these
streams as the Germans now is. Every
where they are in danger of being
waterways and losing all their men
and guns.
Trenches Impossible.
II they expected to be able to carry
on a warfare from trenches here, as
they did for a month in the valley OF
the Aisne, they have been disappointed,
for the ground in French and Belgian
Flanders is so wet that trenches three
feet deep fill up half way with water
in the course of a single night. Deep
trenches therefore are impossible.
The Germans already have discovered
this and have had recourse to a new
line OF tactics, which is to shelter them
selves behind houses. In some places
there are long, straight rows Of work.
mems cottages, especially near the coal
mines and these have been favorable to
the German plan. The Germans, finding a
village of three or four rows of these
cottages. hid themselves behind the first
line of houses. When this is destroyed
they retreat to the second line and then
to the third until this is demolished. For
this reason the campaign in the north is
most destructive.
The Washington herald., 1914-10-29

These mines the correspondent reports,
for they continually break loose and eX-
plode against the rocks along the coast,
doing no damage.
1t is estimated that in the fighting
along the User the Germans have lost
900 men a day. Another estimation
puts the German losses at 1900, and II
is feared that the allies have suffered
terribly in the almost hand-to-hand fight
ing that has been in progress continually
day and night since early last week.
One wounded Belgian soldier is quoted
as saying that out Of the 600 men
who originally comprised his regi-
ment, fighting in the trenches along the
User. only baout 200 are left.
Royalty Killed in Battle.
Death has not spared royalty in this
engagement, late dispatches announcing
that Prince Maurice OF Battenberg,
youngest son of Prince Henry of Batten-
berg and Princess Beatrice, and a grand
son of Queen Victoria, has been killed
on the battle front. Crown Prince
Ruprecht Of Bavaria also is reported to
have been wounded in the fighting.
The army commanded jointly by the
crown prince and the Duke of WuTtem-
burg has been in the thick Of the fight
ing, and on a front opposed by one
English brigade, left 1000 corpses after
one retreat.
At another point along the battle front
near Ypres. the Germans, planning a
night attack, sent out scouts who satu-
rated the bushes and dried grass with
kerosene. This was suddenly fired and
the Germans swept on in a charge, sing
ing and shouting as they advanced in the
Pickering light. They succeeded in sur
prising the British who held the trenches,
but were subjected to a whitening fire
and finally beat a retreat that was
changed into a rout, when the English
soldiers Ieaped into the opening and took
after them with the bayonet.
This attack followed the capture Of
Langemarck, five miles north of Ypres,
the British troops inflicting enormous
losses on the enemy. The victors estab-
lished themselves in intrenched positions
beyond the villages, and ii was here that
the Germans expected their maneuver of
firing the bushes would give them an
advantage they had not been able to gain
in the day fighting. So badly had they
miscalculated. however, that in addition
to losing hundreds Of men from gun fire
and bayonet. they suffered the capture Of
a battery and several machine guns and
more than 1,0OO prisoners, including a
general and several other officers.
Ihe trench onclal report received mere
this afternoon also indicates that the
Germans are not doing SO well on the
eastern end of their line in France. They
are reported to have been repulsed in a
night attack on the highway Des Danes,
in the vicinity Of Craonne, where the
number of killed and wounded Germans
was about 2,oOe, while the French loss
was only about 100 killed and wounded.
1t is also reported that the French
troops in the Woevre district are main
tanning their advance in the forests be-
twen Aprimont and st. Mihiel and In
the forest of lie Pretre.

CALL FOR AMERICAN HORSES.
England Alone in the Market for
10000 Head at High Prices.

England Alone in the Market for
10000 Head at High Prices.
England is in the American market
for 1000 horses. Dealers, as a result OF
the war demand. are reaping a big profit.
More than 5000 head have been pur-
chased in Pennsylvania and adjoining
States, and the price the foreign buyers
are paying ranges from 800 to 800 a
head. Shipments are made to London for
delivery. The last shipment, comprising
seventy horses, manifested at $4,000, was
was shipped in the Atlantis Transport
Company's liner Minnehaha, which
cleared New York last week for London.
The demand for American horses
caused by the war. according to a note
issued by the department OF Agriculture
at Washington, may continue decade
or longer. as, when peace Is restored.
more horses will be needed for agricul-
ture. 1t is conservatively estimated that
COO, 900 horses are now engaged in the
war.
A special train of twenty-seven cars
filled with hoses bought in the West for
French cavalry purposes. is on the way
from st. Louis to New York over the Van
dalia and connecting Pennsylvania lines.
Pennsylvania Railroad officials here re-
fused to give any details of the ship
ment Of horses and would not say when
the special train would arrive in New
York.
It is known, however, that the train
left the National stock Yards, st. Louis,
on Tuesday night and that each car

Col George Harvey's visit at tht
White House today led to reports that
he probably would be offered the Am.
