GERMANS LEFT
 MANY SUPPLIES
Account Of Champagne Fighting
 Tells Of Surprised Teutons

Paris, Sept. 90, g.. m Tt was by no means easy work" said ono of the wounded at the Grand Palais hospital, in describing the battle of Champagne Saturday. Never have we seen anything like their barbed wire entanglements. Our shells ploughed up thousands of stakes, but there were an inumberable number left which We had to pull up under the enemy's fire. The wire was so thick it was extremely hard to cut. In many places our attacking col umns came against Chevauz De Prise behind which the Germans lurked. We pelted them with bombs as hard as we could and the. sappers who came up behind us did the rest.
 Machine Guns Put Out.
 '"The machine guns which stormed at us-that's why so many of us Were hit in the legs-were soon put out of business. Then our cavalry turn ed up. They had gone so long with out a chance to fight on horseback that they were keen to get into it.. It was fine dash and the Germans bolted on all sides. What they left behind in the way of material, arms, effects and equipment was unimagin- able. Their flight turned into panic when they saw our African contingents after them. The Africans certainly cut them up frightfully with the bayonet."
 Infantry Fought We'll.
 An officer with bayonet wound in one arm spoke enthusiastically of the meth hodical and orderly manner in which the French infantry fought, When the rally sounded all the men formed in their proper sections.
 They all are veterans now" said the officer, and know their profes- sion thoroughly. The Germans felt the whirlwind of this grand army"

crest between Souchetz and Willy. The official report from Paris last night said merely that this crest had been reached, so that, presumably, ter rife counter attack is raging there to- day, with final mastery of this im- portant position at stake. Rain, fog and soggy ground have been hamper ing both the contenders and limiting the activities of air craft.
 Only Prelude.
 The offensive of the allies thus far has been confined to stretches of the front amounting to less than thirty miles in all. The general belief i'll England is that these attacks are only the prelude to what is coming.
 There is the usual speculation as to the shifting of German forces from the east to the west, although any thing like reliable information is lack ing. AS against the report that some Prussian guards have been hurried west, there are rumors that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, still bent on taking Dvinsk has been reinforced heavily. Moreover, the Austrians. judging from their new successes in the south, apparently have received fresh troops.
 Within 15O Miles of Bagdad.
 The victory of the British over the Turkish Mesopotamia brings Gen. Sir John Nixon's men within 150 miles of Bagdad. The news came un- heraIded to London. as the fighting in that quarter had been almost for gotton. Whether the British will try to push on to Bagdad is problemat- ical but the consensus of opinion here is that the resistance of the Turks in this region has been crushed. Some sections of the British press see in this victory the addition of another British colony.
 Whatever is done with the Turks elsewhere" says the Pail Mall Gazette, ''they can never be. allowed to re- sume their bloodstained way in the Euphrates valley" ~ F S"

'GOOD PENSIUVS FOk
 CIVIL WAR NURSES
National (. A. R. Will Conduct
 Campaign to That End

Washington. Sept. s0.--Colonel David J. Palmer, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, announced in a speech at the opening of the first business session of the enr campment today that the organiza- ton was to make an effort to secure proper" pensions for Civil war nurses. It was an executive session.
 Other speakers included Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles. who depre- cated the fact that many of the veter- ans were forced to stand for several hours before they took their places in the parade yesterday, which re- suited in many exhaustion cases.
 Business sessions of the encamp- nient were continued this afternoon. It was considered doubtful whether the election of officers would be reached until tomorrow. This, how ever, depended upon the speed with which the question of the place for the encampment of next year was dis posed of. The contest, it was said, was between Atlantic City and Kansas City. The advisability of establishing permanent headquarters also re-
 Most of the two hundred of the Civil war veterans taken to hospitals yesterday when they be- came exhausted in the G. A. R. pa rade, had fully recovered today and were ready for participation in the remainder of the annual reunion pro- gram. A majorty of the aged men stood the march from the capitol to the White House we'll but hospitals and emergency relief stations estab- lished along the route of the parade in Pennsylvania Avenue were kept busy caring for those who dropped out exhausted. There were no fa- talities
 The veterans had a busy day be- fore them, the program being fea- tured with a reception at the White House by President Wilson to the sur viving officers of the Civil War, a business session at Camp Emery, headquarters of the G. A. R., and the dedication of 8 jubilee tablet at Man assas, Va.
 Among those expected to attend the White House reception were Col. David J. Palmer, chief of the G.. A. R., and three past com rs-in-chief-Major Leo Ros- sieur, Captain Beers and Lieut.. Ell Torrance.
 Other interesting events included camp reunions, exhibitions and drills by the signal and medical corps of the United States Army on the White House lot; camp fires and dog watch es. The day was to be brought to a close with a meeting of the resolu- uons committee and a reception to Commender-in-ch chief Palmer by the Daughters of Veterans.

 FLOATING LOAN
Marketing Of Bonds Will Be
 Explained by Morgan

New York, Sept. 3O.-Cvlnpiete de- tails of the method of marketing tt.e $500, ,000 joint Anglo-French five year bonds probably will be announc- ed late today by J. P. Morgan & company.
 Representatives of New York banks, trust companies and other fiancial houses continued today their conferences looking to the adoption Of a definite program which would place the issue before the country within the next fortnight. Several conferences among American bankers and members of the Anglo-French commission, returning from Chicago, were also on the days calendar.
 Questions to Be Solved.
 Here are some of tho questions which the committee in charge of arrangements sought to solve at their conference today:
 How much must an individual sub scribe in order to becoale eligible for admission to the syndicate which will get the bonds at 96?
 What terms shall be offered to the man who wants to buy the so-called baby bonds-those in denominations less than S1.0O0-by installments?
 When shall the bonds be placed on the market?
 Syndicate Short. Lived.
 Other minor details concerned the life of the syndicate and the listing of the bonds.
 Indications were that the life of the underwriting syndicate would not extend beyond sixty or ninety days and that the bonds would be listed very shortly. One report was that the minimum amount an in dividual seeking to enter the syndi- cate could subscribe would be fixed at $250,000; another fixed the amount at $1,OOO,000. There was no confir- nation of either of these reports, nor of the report that installment sub- scribers would be expected to pay one-fourth down and the remaining three-fourths by Jan. 1.

violent bombardment of our positions to the east of Souchez.
 Tn the Champagne district we we have secured a footing at several points in the trenches of the German second line of defense, to the west of Butte de Tahure and to the west of the Navarine Farm. Tt this latter point certain detachments of our troops made their way through and resolutely advanced beyond the Ger man lines; but it was impossible for them to maintain this advance be- cause of a curtain of fire maintained by the German artillery as well as a very violent fianking rife fire.

Manchester Guardian Protests Against

 Profit to American Bankers

London, Sept. 30, 10:05 a. m.-As- serting that American bankers natur- ally prefer a loan with some $1O.0O0,- 900 profit. to the importation of gold which brings no profit the Manches- ter Guardian declares editorially:
 "There is no reason. however, why the government should indulge in what has every appearance of being blunder as costly politically as fi- nancially'.
 Insisting that the loan would be in valid unless approved by parliament, the Guardian adds: Seldom has a fi- nancial transaction been imposed up- on the British people which cried out so loud for justification. It may be that MT. Morgan and his associates have done the allies a good service and earned a reward but if so it would be cheaper to present them with their 100000 pounds and forego a loan so damaging to our credit"
