Report That Commission Intends to Sail Satur- day for Europe
 Is Denied

New York September 25.-Little if any progress was made today In the nego- tlations toward establishing s50O, ,0O0. GOO credit loan to Great Britain and France. Many American bankers who have been In consultation with the Anglo French financial commission did not visit the financial section over the short business session. and the commission itself re- ceived fewer callers than on any previous day
 No one in close touch with the situation
 could be found who would deny a gen. erally credited rumor that the commis-
 sion had submitted to the British and
 French governments the rough draft of
 terms satisfactory to American bankers
 and was awaiting word from Paris and
 London before proceeding further with ne- gotiations The general belief was that
 a reply would be received Monday It
 was regarded as likely that the reply
 would contain suggestions which would
 be made the basis of further bargaining
 and reference again to Paris and Lon
 don before an actual working agreement
 would be reached.
 One report that was definitely denied ] was that the commission intended to de-
 part for Europe next Saturday. There appeared to be no change tonight in the reported tentative terms of the
 loan-the maximum to be $50o,oO0OOo to be covered by an issue of joint Anglo French fve-year notes bearing interest at the rate of per cent and to be sold to the investor at less than par.

 Trouble Follows

Amsterdam. septe mber 25.-(via Lon don. .)-rhe German military authorities lat Lilie, French Flanders. have again clashed with the populace. this time over the refusal of Lille factories to make sacks for use by the Germans as sandbags for their defence works. Un- |able to procure the sacks. the German
 authorities notified the mayor that an
 amount equivalent to the output of the Lille factories would be manufactured in Germany and the cost of production assessed against the city. This was car ried out notwithstanding vigorous pro- test. The strongroom of the town was forced and s75.OOO francs (375 OOO) was deducted from the civil funds. Tn addition 31,00O.0OO francs of war taxes was demanded. The 0ermans placed seals on the banks as well as on the strongroofns of individuals as a guarantee that securities would not be removed.

FOR

 NOT YET DECIDED
Washington Puzzled by Con- flicting Reports-Carran- ga Commander Says
 Troops Not Involved

Washington, September 25.--Major Gen, eral Funston, commencing United state: troops on the border. and General Ma farette. the carrag,za cornfnandet. botf | disclaim fors their men responsibility for lthe fighting yesterday near Progreso Tex. in which one American trooper was killed and an officer wounded. while the ca sualties of the Mexican raiders are not known.
 General Funston reported to the war de- pertinent today that his men had repelled the raiding party which fled across the border under. the protection of soldiers in uniform. entrenched on their side. The Carranza agency gave out telegram from General Nafarette asserting that there were no Carranza troops in the vi- cinity.
 A full report on recent fighting along the border was made to the state de- partment today by the war department. It states that in no case have American soldiers begun the firing, but 1t is ad- mitted that civilians and deputy sheriffs in Texas have provoked some attacks. In y eStcIudy HS0t u le dSSeTteu iHdt all armed force invaded American territory and that this party was repulsed.
 Situation Puzzling
 officials are frankly puzzled over the border situation. General Carranza has directed Gen Jacnto Trevino to make a thorough investigation. and clearer un- tanding of conditions along the Rio Grande Is expected to result. Until au- thentic information Is obtained as to the cause of the raids the policy of the American government will be unchanged, ana while raiders will be driven off. American troops will not be permitted to cross into Mexico in pursuit.
 Explaining the visit of Gen. Felipe Ans geles to Washington the Villa agency Issued this statement tonight:
 Gen. Felipe Angeles wishes to state that he has arrived in Washington as a member of the delegation appointed by the military chiefs of the provislonal government to represent it in the peace conferences planned in accordance with the invitation of the Pan-American con- ference August ?.
 Published reports that General An- geles has deserted from the convention army are false. These reports appear to have been inspired in Carranzista sources in Fl Paso
 "Gen. Raoul Madero, another member of the delegation. will proceed to Wash ington as soon as he Is liberated by the American military authorities. who de- tained him on the border while he was en route to discharge his commission.

WASHINGTON INSISTS ON
 FORMAL RECALL OF DUMBA
Departure Leave of Absence Not Sufficient Satisfy Administrations Governments Right to Request Recall is
 Unquestioned Under International Law

Washington. September 25.-Ambassador Penfield at Vienna has been instructed to make clear to the Austrian government informally that the United States must Insist on the recall on Mir. Dumba, the Austrian ambassador here, and that his departure Ion leave of absence would not be satisfactory.
 , From messages exchanged between Ann hassador Penfield and the state depart ment, 1t is apparent the Austrian govern nisnt misconstrued the desire df the United States. IL was intimated at first to Am bmassador PenfIeld that the Austrian government might recall Dr. Dumpa on leave of absence and might desire safe conduct for him.
 Dr. Dumba himself telegraphed for such safe conduct a few days later, inform
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-26

Ing the state department that he had been granted leave of apsence No ac- ton was taken on his request. but it was forwarded to Ambassador Penfield.
 Instructions sent to MT. Penfeld were not disclosed, but he was authorized to make 1t clear that Dr. Dumbas use fulness as the Austrian ambassador to the United States has ceased, and that If given merely leave of absence he would neverthe 'ess still remain accredited.
 The right of a government to demand the recall of an amba ssador because ot hls personal acts is unQuestioned under intorpatfonM law, and according to of- ficlals if the Austrian government per- sisted in refusing to recall pr. Dumba, passports could be handed to him.
 Later today state department officials said they had received no new communi- cations from Vienna. but expected the situation would be satisfactorily disposed of shortly.

 therefore, on the average of 52 bills per day. It is interesting to note that both houses. after the breathing spell permitted by the summer recess. re- turned and introduced more bills than they presented in the January session.

General Mobilization

Athens, Greece. September 25.--(via Lon don.) liking Constantine and Premier Venizeos at conference today reached a complete accord in regard to both steps already taken by the government, and the measures which are demanded to meet the future Balkan situation.
 These measures include maintenance of Greeces treaty obligations
 Great relief has been caused through out Greece by the order calling for the mobilization of the army.e The people apparently are glad to exchange the un- certaiEties of politics for the possibilities Of war. It is not thought however, that hostillties will follow immediately, al- though It is generally believed in unof- ficial circles at least that struggle be- tween Greece and Bulgaria cannot be avoided eventually.
 Mobilization is under way today and is proceeding quietly. The people are some what bewildered by the latest turn of events, not knowing whither it may lead them.
 King Constantine, who recently passed through severe illness, is indisposed. and his conferences with Premier Ven izelos have been postponed for day.

Present Crisis Said to Be Matter for Military Treatment
ROUMANIA MAY SOON
 DECLARE INTENTIONS
Balkan Situation. Overshadow Heavy Fighting on Russian Front-Brit- ish Fleet Continues Active
 Near the Dutch Coast

London, September r25.-Developments in the Balkans and on the Belgian coast of which the public have only the haziest knowledge. monopolize attention. even the Russian front where the troops of the Car have been delivering heavy counter strokes against the Austro- Germans, be- ing for the moment overshadowed.
 So far as the Balkans are concerned the present crisis is considered more suited to military than diplomatic action one minister stating that great developments are Imminent Greece and Bulgaria al- ready have mobilized and Roumania Is waiting to take sides.
 The British public. however are more anxious to know what is happening near CT home Since Monday last there has been a more or less continuous bonn berdment of ostend, zeebrugge and other points on the Belgian coast, and it is ru- norec that an enterprise is being att tempted which may change the whole as- pect of the war on the western front. British Fleet Active The activity displayed by the British fleet apparently has not been left undis- puted, dispatches from Holland saying that heavy firing has been heard on many occasions during the week to the north of Ameland. which would indicate that. if the Germans have not actually undertaken to oppose the British ships part of the German fleet ventured out to learn what was happening. But. in the absence of either British or German of- hcial rerorts everything is speculation.
 This applies. too. to events on the Rus sian front, for since the publication early this morning of the Russian communlca- ton nothing official has been received of developments there. except the Vienna report, which adds nothing new. The Russians are believed to be more than holding their own at various points along their line.
 Tn uie west the artillery Is the. only arm that could be considered at all nc- tive. while in the DardanelIe6 nnu on the Italian frontier the heavy gun fire has been only occasionally interrupted to give local detachments of infantry an oppor- tunity to attack.
