latest war loan, receiving applications
amounting TO nearly $4,000 100000 OF
new funds The methods adopted for
raising this immense amount seem
wei conceived to meet present re-
qulrements. Over million separate
subscriptions are reported; the new
money. apart from conversions Of pre-
vous government obligations, far sur
passes the sum originally proposed to
obtain and the artificial ease of funds
IN the London money market seems
ended, for the time at least.
Measures taken to relieve the none
tary stringency in London last sum
mer overshot the mark and abnormally
low discount rates resulted. With the
inevitable disadvantage that attaches
TO even so great money centre as
London when engaged in critical
war and purchasing heavily from
abroad. the inability to offer reason
able return on balances maintained
there was an added handicap. Last
week discounts went higher until the
minimum rate of the Bank of England
had been reached and passed. Now,
with careful handling of government
finances, the bank should be able to
control open market rates, and so ex-
ert some influence on exchanges. This
is not time TO make good the boast
that raising the official rate of the
Bank of England will draw to it gold
out of the ground, but il may, how
ever, keep it from losing its gold UNI
duly.
No Recovery In Sterling Rates Here.
AS yet sterling exchange here has
failed to so higher with the dearer
funds in London. Less demand for
remittance Of proceeds of London
sales Of securities in our market has
resulted in a lower price Of London
checks At the end of the week they
sold at 4.76@s in the pound, against
4.765s the Saturday before. French eX-
change stiiFened, sight drafts on Paris
going TO 554 francs for dollar,
where the week before they closed at
5.63. The Rothschild collateral loan
here is apparently having some effect
and further French commercial
credit is being arranged, and will
probably be announced in a few days.
Our own money market was little
firmer, with the loss on Federal taxes
Of the week before and need of
financing recent security purchases
from abroad. Sixty-day loans on col
lateral were made at 212 per cent and
call money ended at from 124 to 2 per
cent, with renewals at the higher fig
ure. The statement of the associated
banks and trust companies of this city
showed gain in surplus of over
$4,000, 600 on Saturday morning. Loans
were nearly 100000 above the total
of the week before, but the additional
requirements of the resulting expan-
sion of deposit liabilities were more
than met by the addition to reserve
Surplus reserve of more than S169 ,000.-
600 suggests that demands on this CEN
ire for crop moving and other purposes
If the near future can be met without
any great disturbance Of the prevailing
monetary ease.

French Report Operations in Cham pagne Hnmpered, But Say They've Made Gains ElseWhere-Zeppeln

Petrtograd, March S.-A fresh ele' ment has been Introduced in the gen. eral situation on this front by the Austro- German aggressive at Doman- cvitza. This village is on the north ern shore nf the Pilica. The enemy attacked with vigor along a front o1 seven miles. The battle is still dovel- .oping.
 It is not regarded here as a seri- ous menace. It is thought probable that the enemy is endeavoring to in duce the Russians to diminish the movement of the their advance from the Niemen-Bobr-Narew line.
 The Germans have been unable tt stop this movement by direct meas ures, so it is hardly likely that they themselves are in position tt strengthen any portion of their front in Western Poland.
 At OssoWiecz, the Germans have found nothing with their 42-centl' metre pieres. Ii is known that the guns of the fortress have succeeded in silencing a couple of the enemy's batteries.
 The advance defense at OssoWleci has been pushed considerable dls tance beyond the main line of the de fense works.

Cotton Belt No. 2 Goes Into Ditch at F'inn's Switch
 Yesterday Morning.

Nearly score of persons passengers and train crew, On Cotton Belt passenger train No. 2, east bound, were shaken up bruised and skinned when the train went into the ditch at Finn, several miles this side of Camden, about 9:10 o'clock yes 1erday forenoon.
 The entire train turned over, engine and all the cars falling off the rails onto their sides, in the fields alongside the track. Passeng- CTS expressed the opinion that 2 miracle only prevented loss of life
 Railroad officials would not vouca- sage an opinion as to the cause of the wreck last night, stating thav ., investigation will be necessary. The track was badly torn up for a dis tance of 300 or 400 yards. and yn= service of the W1scker from the Pine Bluff shops, with several gangs Of extra men 10 help the section men were needed to get the train on the rails again, the. tracks repaired and traffic resumed.

COUNSEL
 SPRINGS SURPRISE Contends Original Commit ment to Matteawan Of
 Whites Slayer Illegal.
CHANGE FOR FREEDOM
If Convicted of Conspiracy Charge, Thaw Can Hardly Re Considered Insane--Ii Acquitted, Will Invoke
 Habeas Corpus.

New York, March S.-John B. Stanchfield sprung his surprise de- fcnse in the Thaw case today at the close of the first day of the con- sDiracy trial. which ended in the se- lection of jury in record time. It is this.
 "Thaw's commitment to Matteawan was illegad. in that it did not pro- yids for his discharge from the state hospital as soon as he had recovered lis reason. Having been restored to sanltv-as we will show-before August F. 1915. the day of his escape and. being then still held in restraint he cannot be guilty of conspiracy in escaping from an institution where he was illegally detained.
 "!f, taking these facts into con- sideration, the jury acquits MT. Thaw." said Stanchfield, "I shall re- gard their verdict as res adjudicata, that is. as superseding or taking the place of his commitment, or of snpplementing it, and declaring his sanity restored. Thereupon, l shall at once take out a writ of habeas corpus and demand the discharge of my client ou the jury's verdict
 'The meat of the whole proposition rests upon the question of Thaw's sanity"
 Combating this line of defense, the state will contend tha.. it does not matter whether Thaw was sane or 1 not-his mental condition being a matter for future determination-1f he used illegal means to get out o1 l Matteawan, it will be urged he is guilty of conspiracy,
 "The question of Thaws sanity IS not involved in this trial, ''said Deputy Attorney-General Franklin I Kennedy, and we will object to any attempt to have that question brought before the jury"
 With the issue thus joined the bat He will be precipitated tomorrow. 1n the first brief skirmish today. Thaw seemed to gain temporary ad- vantage.
 Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, mother oi the defendant, and her daughter, Mrs George Carnegie, appeared in court early. Thaw seemed in excellent health, and walked into court smil- ing.
