NEW YORK CHAMBER TO
 FoREeo ANNUAL BANQUET. suaaested That the Money Be Sent to
 the American Red Cross.

New York, Oct 1-In consequence of the war, the New York chamber or commerce today decided, for the nrst time since the commercial depression of 1878. to abandon its annual ban- ouet. In explanation of the chamber action. President Seth Low issued a statement in part as follows:
 .At the regular monthly meeting of the chamber held today, in view or the fact that so many nations of the world are now at war, their people suffering intensely from the loss of relatives and bearing heavy burdens entailed by the loss of life, the destruction of property and the interruption of busi- ness; and in view of the fact that our membership embraces men related by family ties or business interests with one or another of the nations at war, while many of our citizens and mem bers are already bearing great burdens and suffering great privations through the suspension or interruption of their business affairs. the members in meet ing assembled unanimously voted that, notwithstanding the fact that the an- nual banquets had been held in an un- broken line for fl years. this year the usual banquet should be abandoned. The chamber has borne. and will bear to the utmost, it's share of the world s heavy burden, but it cannot make mer- " when so many are sad
 "The usual charge for a ticket to the dinner of the chamber is SEQ. It has been suggested that many of our members may be glad to send to the secretary of the chamber a check for this amount, to be sent to the Ameri- can Red Cross, so that the banquet money of the chamber may bring help and succor to the wounded. the sick and the needy of our sister nations engaged in this war"

CONDITIONS OF SHIPMENT
 OF AMERICAN GOODS
Conferences for Understanding se-' tween United States and Great Britain.

Washington, Oct 1.-Conferences now progressing in Washington and London are expected to result In few days in a. complete understanding between the governments of the United States and Great Britain as to the con- ditions under which American products may be shipped to neutral European countries and the products of those countries, as well as of belligerent countries transported to the United States without interference from Brit ish or French cruisers.
 There are many phases of this sub ject requiring separate examination and treatment and the state depart- ment regards each one disposed or as a step toward a final and comprehen- sive understanding that will prevent any friction arising during the contin- uance of the European war. That Germany and Austria have not so Tar been taken into the consultation Is owing to the fact that so far no issue has arisen from the attempt of any of their cruisers to detain American yes. sells or cargoes.
 Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador, made several calls at the state department today. and later indi- cated that substantial progress had been reached as result

GERMAN PEOPLE ANxiousLY
 AWAIT NEWS FROM FRANCE
Have inI<Iing of Advance of French
 Troops Against German Flank.

msterdam, via London, Oct 1, 9.a5 p. m.-The Berliner Tageblatt in leading article. says:
 "The German people await anxiously but with confidence, further news from the French war theatre. The news troops against the flank of our line would not unbalance us. We know that our front line is protected by broad eschelons, which are ready to oppose such an enterprise.
 ''Even if the French or English west direction. they will always en- counter eschelons which our com manders have kept back in expecta- ton of such advances.
 The influence of the British rein forcements makes itself more and more felt. They are effective to im- rede us. though the results will not be lasting. Victory must be ours all the same. If it is gained after diff hculty it will be all the more worth while.
 ~The center of the battle front is silent, listening breathlessly to the struggle on both wings. Around ver- dun a din comes nearer: we have forced our way through the forest o1 Argonne, but found on the heights or the west of the Mouse a strong po- sition which the enemy lad prepared The French are experts at building positions in their rear. We know that such positions were, as far as possible constructed long before the outbreal of the war"
 After expressing the opinion tha the German armies between Verdui and the Argonne constitute a grea, menace to the French, the article con tinues:

FOREIGN EXCHANGE HAS
 SFFERED ANOTHER SETBACK
Apart from Renewals the Money Mar
 ket Extremely Dull.

New York, Oct. With the actual inauguration of the $100, 1000, 900 gold pool for which account a considerable sum of gold was shipped to Canada foreign exchange suffered another set back today, cables declining to 4.97 and demand to 4.96. Subsequently these rates hardened a trif1e, but most Lon don bills were negotiated at the lower rates.
 Apart from renewals the local money market was extremely dull. Canadian banks placed small sums of money at seven per cent for thirty days, and some out of town institutions resumed their purchases of mercantile paper at an average rate of seven per cent. The true state of one market was shown, however, in the price paid by the Erie Railroad for a five months extension of it's six percent notes, which matured today. The cost to the railroad was said to be 8 Is per cent. Contrary to expectation very few defaults of Oc- tober interests payments were reported, among the notable instances being the The International Mercantile Marine Company on its 4 1-2 per cent bor-Ss Further improvement in general bonds was noted with a continuance of the demand for the new city notes.

ROYAL COMMISSIONS FINDING.
 IN DUBLIN RIOT KILLINGS
Employment of Police and Military Was Not in Accordance with Law,

London, Oct. l. 10.50 p. m.-The royal commission appointed to inquire into the events of July 26 last, when four people were killed and many were wounded in Dublin during a fight with the police and soldiers, following the landing of guns by Nationalist Vol unteers at Howth. nine miles from Dublin, today reported that the en- ployment of the police and military was not in accordance with the law.
 The report further says that Assist ant Commissioner of Police Harrel1 was responsible for the calling out of the military and for the order issued to the police.
 The Nationalist volunteers landed the arms at Howth at noon on July 26. The police were warned of the landing and reinforced by a detach- ment of the Kings Own Scottish Bor- derers, intercepted the gun runners at Ciontarf, with a view of taking the rifles from them.
 There was a clash between the Volunteers and the authorities at that town. When the troops returned to l the city of Dublin they were met by
 an infuriated mob which included many women Brickbats were hurled at the soldiers and the order was given to fire, with the result that four persons were killed and many were wounded.

Their attacks during the last few days, delivered as they were at no decisive point with overwhelming numbers, but haphazard all along the line, show that they have been driven desperate and that their plan of cam paign has been completely frustra ted.

London, Oct. 1, 2.45 D. m.-A cor respondent of the Daily Des-a+ch. writing of the fighting at Peronne, says:
 Then came a new and decisive fac tor and a complete surprise for the Germans. From the slopes to the northward three batteries of heavy guns suddenly opened fire on the Ger mans. After getting the range, these guns destroyed completely the Ger man battery with the first five dis charges and thereafter rendered un- tenable position after position that the German guns had tried to hold.
 Right and left the slate gray guns were splitting death on the level stretch below them, their caissons beside them and their horses and forges out o1 sight in 8 depression of the field @, the rear. Straw heaped around the guns rendered them invisible from the front"
