Summary
 OF THE War News

An official statement from Paris. says. that German warships have appeared off the Belgian coast and have bombarded Dun kirk. Twenty persons were kill ed.
 The presence of the German high sea fleet in the North Sea has been reported several times recently and an official statement issued in Berlin a few days ago spoke of several expeditions of this kind which were made with out encountering the British fleet, The captain of a Swedish steamer reported that on crossing the North Sea a. few days ago he encountered a large number of German warships.
 A decisive victory over the a1- lied forces in the DardanelIes re- zion is announced by the Turkish war office in an official report from Constantfnop1e today. This statement, which is in direct con fIict with advices from London and Paris, says that all the troops which landed on the Asiatic and European side of the straits with the exception of the forces at Gaba Tepe, near the Gallipo1i Peninsula, have been driven away, and that several warships and transports of the allies have been damaged.
 Advices from French and Brit ish sources give the impression however, that the landing forces are making marked progress. From these despatches it would appear that the British have es- tabhshed two lines across the the Gal1ipoli Peninsula, which, if maintained, would cut off the Turkish forces from Constant nople-
 An unofficial report from Ath- ems to Paris states that the allies have captured. the town of Gal1i- poll, on the straits, at the en- trance to the Sea of Marmora. . An official report from Berlin mentions heavy fighting at this point
 An official statement from the Belgian government says that a German attack from Steens- .traete was repulsed- This may refer to an engagement described in unofficial advices as disas- trous to the attacking party. It is said 4,000 Germans were al- most annihilated by the Belgian artillery.
 A London despatch says de- su1tory fighting continues in the region of the Suez Canal. It is asserted the Turks are preparing to advance for another attack on the British

which chara racterlzed the United States in those months and that these were condi- tions unlike any which had ever been es tablished in this country. The currency panic of 1907 dangerous as that was, was trifling in comparison with the situation in this country for two months after Au- gust 1. Now at the closing weeks of the fiscal year the United States stands with out superior and with only one equal so far as it's financial and banking strength is concerned. We have extingushed about $f0o, ,00t 600 of debts on account which we owed in August. We have lent to other nations approximately $250,000,o00 and are going to lend more before the fiscal year ends, and we have absorbed a large amount of American securities which were in the ownership of citizens of other lands. We have done this without the slightest apparent ripple in the money market, and in addition have done a very great amount of domestic financing.
 An Object Lesson
 These are facts which will be brought to the attention of the delegates to the Pan-American financial conference who are to meet in Washington next fweek. The delegates will receive detailed infor- matior, from members of the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. This committee will meet on May 9 and it will. as a whole, represent every part of the country. For instance, points as far apart as Des Moines and Atlanta will be represented on the committee, the Des Momes district by one of the leading authorities on trade and commerce in the west, k. T. Mere dith, and the section of which Atlanta is the center will be represented by Robert F, Maddox. The Pan-American confer ence will have opportunity through a skill fully arranged itinerary not only to ob-
 serve financial conditions in practically all parts of the country east of St. Louis, but will also be impressed by the ma sg- nitude of the promise of our crops. The
 delegates will learn at St. Louis al i .'vrrrIrrvtauy, at N1agara Falls, at Pitts
 burg and at Chicago. from inspection ot great industrial plants, that no matter how heavy the demands may be unou the United States for commodities. and particularly for war supplies our indus trial organizations are now SO large and i so complete that they will be fully able to take care of any additional demand Wh1ch might be made upon them by the united States government The delegates Will also obtain evidence of the mag nitude of our financial resources as they are now and IS they may be after the , reolscounting privileges of the federal reserve banks are fully utilized as they are likely in part to be utilized even while these delegates are making their excursion throush the eastern half of the country.
