u. S. Exchange Firmer

London, Sept 2.-Amerlcan ex-
change moved up ten cents during the

marked this unusual advance were due
principally to the large amount OF

There was wide opening, with

The amount of dollar offerings became

vivors carried on the fight over heaps
of bodies. In spite of the immense re-
Inducements and their determined
courage the Australians held the ground
and finally the Turks wearied Of the
struggle The trenches were now
merely a battered shambles and the
task of removing the dead and wounded
took days to accomplish. The bodies
of one thousand Turks and Colonials
were removed from the trenches alone.
The total Turkish losses in this section
alone are estimated at 5000.
This capture is the most desperate
hand-to-hand fight that has taken place
on the Peninsula. but this was only a
diversion TO the main movement north
ward. which commenced the same even
ing under cover of darkness, and whose
first chapter was the Turkish victory
on the slopes of Chanak Bahr.
Following this success, the Turks
tried 10 gain the great gully south Of
Rhododendron Ridge. but they had
reckoned without our artillery and ships
guns. This great charge OF oar sue
cessive lines of infantry in close for
nation was plainly visible TO all our
warships and batteries on land. The
Turks were caught in a trap. The mo-
mentum Of their charge down the hill
prevented them from recoiling in time,
and they were swept away by hundreds
in a terrific storm of high explosive
shrapnel and common shells from the
ships guns and from our howitzers and
field pieces.
As the huge shells from our ships
exploded in the midst of the Turks.
huge chunks OF soil were thrown into
the air. in which | saw human bodies

or thrown bodily into deep ravines.
But even this concentrated artillery
fire might not have checked the Turk
ish advance unless it had been assisted
by the concentrated fir. OF ten machine
guns at short range. For half an
hour they maintained a rapid fire until
the guns smoked with heat. During
this time she Turks were pouring
across the front in dense columns. at
tempting to attack our men. Then their
lines got mixed up in a wedge. As
those in front tried to retire, others
pressed them from the rear. Some fed
lack over the crest. seeking TO regain
their trenches. Others dashed down to
the ravines. In a few minutes the en-
tire division had been broken IN and
the survivors scattered everywhere.
Though they succeeded in driving us
from the crest of Chanak Bahr. the
Turks paid a terrible price for their
success.

Must Curb Cold Flow,
u. s. Official Warns

Washington. Sept 2.-Despite the
big imports of gold in the last rev
months the amount in the country is
not much larger than normal, and not
vastly greater than the amount held
here lust before the war began, nigh
official of the Treasury Department
pointed out to-day. But the lmporta-
lion of more gold, he said, would bring
trouble in its wake, which would be
intensified at the end of the war. The
remedy. he declared, would be the no
tation of a big bond issue here by the
Allies. TO correct the rate of exchange,
without future importation OF gold.
"If the present imports of gold con-
tinue." this official said, "in the first
Mace the credit of the countries which
ship the gold will be seriously i'm
haired The basis of their financial
systems will be undermined. But the
situation in this country Is what gives
me concern. The presence of all that
gold here will be decided injury TO
the country. It will initiate the prices
of everything else. Then, when the end
of the war comes, we may have appar-
emily the finest sort of prosperity, with
everybody working and at big wages,

with the rest of the world.
For the same reason that prices
have been inflated in this country
prices will be depressed in the other
countries, and wages will be low, so
that our markets can be flooded with
cheap goods made abroad, while we
shall be unable TO export goods. due TO
the tremendous cost of their manu-
facture.
and the remedy for all this is so
easy. All that is necessary is to stop

floating a big bond issue here. Foreign
owned American securities could be
used as the collateral, "a has been sug-
gested, and about a billion dollars of
bonds sold here. That would correct
the exchange problem at once, and
would take care of it for some time.
Also. such a bond issue would not
bring about the imitation Of prices
which further imports of gold would
be certain to do. The bonds would be.
in a way. a permanent addition to our
wealth.
"The amount of gold in the country
now is. think, ideal. IL is not so

Exchange Market Rallies

Tone of Week.
MARKET NERVOUS
EARLY IN DAY
Gold Situation PreOccupies the
Financial Experts in Washing
ton, London and Paris.

Following it's decline to the new low
level Of 4.5O on Wednesday exchange
on London rallied yesterday and closed
stronger than during any day this week
Heavy selling of the international IS
sues on the Stock Exchange was seized
upon as one of the reasons for the re-
covery. which il was said was further
aided by the covering OF speculative
short interests.
At the opening rates were bid up
from ASS TO $50, but the market was
extremely nervous and the bids were
later dropped couple of points. In
the early afternoon, however, demand
rallied again 20 $50, but no bills were
offered within full cent OF this quo
tation. TIE final quotation for demand
was ASP and for cables 4.63, compared
with the 1856 and 4.57, the lowest prices
of the day.
When il became definitely established
that none o. the British or French
bankers who. according to common be-
lief are coming here to help straighten
out the exchange situation, were on the
St. Paul. there was an increase in the
amount of bills offered, and the rates
soon reached their lowest figures of the
day. At this level, however, the market
steadicd again.
Much interest was taken in the state
ment of Sir Herbert Holt, who arrived
on the Adriatc, that the deputation Of
English fnanciers which had intended
to sail on the same liner, at the last
moment changed plans. One report
in the financial district was that they
had hnally decided to come over on
British battleship, and would dock at
Halifax. coming from there to New
York bv train. This led to further ru-
mors that another large shipment of
gold is on the way from London:
As on previous occasions bankers
took the position that the foreign eX-
change situation is not nearly as acute
as some have been inclined to believe.
II is considered obvious that Great
Britain is alive to existing conditions
and is willing to pay a premium on ex-
change. No one doubts that within
comparatively short time plan satisI
factory TO all the interests involved
will be worked out.

CONCESSION TO u. S.
STIRS BRITISH IRE
Traders Object to Americans
Receiving German Goods.

London. Sept. .. Vigorous protests
are being lodged by British trade IN
terests against the action OF the Brit
ish government permitting American
importers to receive from Germany
goods which were ordered prior TO the
beginning Of the war. j. ID. klley'
chairman OF the fancy goods section
of the London Chamber OF Commerce
in n statement to the press, says;
at is stated that 100000 pounds
sterling $3.50, O00,090) are represented
bv this concession. which is worth ten
fold this amount TO Germany because
il enables her TO keep her factories
alive. While Great Britain to-day IS
very near a crisis on account OF the
fsll' of exchange, the Foreign Office
seems TO have gone out OF us way 10
enable Germany 10 re-estabiish her
credit.
"The only explanation | can con
ceive of this concession IS tnat II IN
some way is supposed TO be in return
for making cotton contraband: II so
conceived. IL is not a return 10 America
hut a Gift 20 Germany. The idea that
the British Consul at Rotterdam can
satisfy himself that orders were placed
before the war is absurd"
