BERLIN, (via wireless to London),
Sept. 14.-The German forces have
captured Pinsk, an OFFICIAL statement
from the war office announced today.
The city was taken by the forces
under Field Marshal Mackensen, who
had pushed steadily eastward from
Brest-Litovsk since the fall Of the lat
ter fortress. Pinsk Is 100 miles east
Of Brest-Litovsk and 10 only thirty
miles west Of the viIna-Rodno railway
lire toward which the whole German
line 10 now moving.
General Won Hindenburg has made
further important progress on the
Riga-Dvinsk line, particularly toward
Iacobstadt, 1t was officially announced,
driving the Russians to the east bank
of the Dwina near lieverhof. The
Siavs on this northern front are still
resisting with great stubbornness, the
war office reported.
Official dispatches today contradict
ed Russian claims Of. important gains
in Galicia. It was stated that on those
sectors of the front where German di.
visions are engaged, every attack by
the Siavs has broken down before ter.
rifle artillery fire. The Russians have
suffered heavy losses in their attempt
to beat in the Austro-German flank.
In announcing the capture Of Pinsk,
the war office stated that the Rus

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. I. Mason, Former European Man
ager Of the United Press.

NEW YORK, Sept 16.-If Great
Britain were paying for her part OF
the war with her present income, sew.
enty-five cents would have to be taken
by the government out of every dollar
Of the nations wages, salaries and tn
vestment returns. This is the inner
significance Of the mass of figures
which has been presented to the house
of commons by Premier Asquith.
The prime minister announced that
the war was costing Great Britain
s175,oo0,O0o per week. Great Britain s
total income is about $3.50 900, 900 per
week, so If 1t were impossible to bor-
row the money for the war. seventy
five per cent Of the nations earnings
would be blown to bits on the battle
fields. That is the most stupendous
financial fact in the history Of the
world During the Napoleonic wars,
when British gold played 80 important
a part in defeating French ambitions

NEW YORK, Sept 16.-New York
f1nanciers who have been meeting
with the Anglo-French commission, al
lowed it to be understood today that
the billion dollar credit sought by the
visitors is practically arranged. They
have found bankers OF the United
States sufficiently, willing to partici.
pate, they said, To guarantee the sue.
cess Of the proposed loan. This was
the upshot Of views exchanged and
reports made In the course of con.
ference at the Biltmore hotel when
ended at an early hour this morning
after having been in session since
yesterday afternoon.
Reports from various western cities
of banks that would not take hand
in the plan, statements from various
pro-German organizations OF their pur
pose to make the ioan q national isaus
and the annUunc Cement OF big mass
meeting here to protest, did not
change their views, they said.
Whether or not they were ready to
Nconcede the request Of the visitors
that no security other than the word
OF, the English and the French gov.
ernments be exacted, they would not
say. For the most part those western
bankers who have indicated willing
ness to participate, have declared that
American securities held abroad
should be put up as collateral.
Wall street had the report that ]. r.
Morgan Jr., had visited John D. Rock
efeller Jr. at the latter's office yester-
day afternoon and labored unsuccess-
fully for half an hour to enlist the
Rockefeller resources In the project.
At the Rockefeller Offices, however,
1t was declared Morgan had not been
there.
Deal Almost Closed
NEW YORK, Sept 16.--A "get to-
gether" movement by practically all OF
the financial interests in New York
was started today In an effort to IA
cilitate the billion dollar loan to Eng.
land and France. While many confer.
ences were in progress among the
bankers in the financial district, the
members Of the Ang1o-French com
were closeted in their rooms
in the Biltmore and refused to see any
one.
1t is practically assured, It was said,
however, that the German-American
bankers of the country will aid In
floating the loan If proper induce
ments are made. The Morgan inter
ests today were making every effort
to get help from the other big finan-
cial concerns here to swing the loan.
James J. Hill held an hours confer
ence with Jacob Schiff. head of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. The Anglo-French COM
mission was in practical continuous
session yesterday evening and all day

for world power, it has been computed
that British war expenditures never
