assuming an aggressive attitude on
the side of our enemies we are pre-
pared to give our friends in the
Balkans all the support in our power
in a manner that would be most well
come to them, in concert with our al
lies without reserve and without
qualification, was the pregnant an
nouneement made by Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary, in
the house Of commons.
The foreign secretary made an urg-
ent appeal TO all his hearers to abb
stain from raising questions concern
ing recruiting for the national service.
q do not think a greater disservice
could be rendered this country and
the cause of the allies than that at
this moment a suggestion should go
forth TO the world that there is any
division Of opinion here" Sir Edward

ENJOYS CLOSELY GUARDED
Allies Financial Commissioners Ar
rive at Chicago.

Chicago, Sept 29.-Plain clothes
men literally swarmed in and about
the La Sale street station when the
four finance commissioners who came
to America to borrow a billion dol
lars for the allies arrived in Chicago.
Throughout the visit of the loan en-
voys they will be guarded as is the
president when he makes his cross
country trips.
Ii was plainly evident that Middle
Western financiers construed the
visit as a deliberate method of chang
ing the opinion that financial interests
have ignored the West regarding the
loan and 10 seek the support of the
West for the project.

ONSLAUGHT IN WEST
MAY LAST FOR WEEKS

Berlin. Sept 29.-The first rush
of Anglo French troops in the west
has been stopped.
There is every confidence that what
was planned as a great offensive
movement will crumble into mere
trench warfare before the end of the
present week.
The opinion prevails here that the
onslaught against the German posi-
tions will last for weeks unless a dis
aster like that experieno oed by the
British at Neuye Chappelle halts the
operation.
Since their first days assaults
neither the British nor French have
dented the German line The sue
cesses attained by the allies in the
first few hours of fighting were due
solely to their long artillery prepara
ton.
Several weeks shell fire had partly
demolished the advanced German
trenches aad it was considered use
less to defend them at heavy cost o
life. For that reason the Germans
fell back

Additional progress is reported in

BRITISH REPEL ALL
COUNTER ATTACKS

London, Sept. 29.-The French are
battering the second line of German
defenses in Champagne, while the
British to their north apparently have
been able to crush all German coun-
ter attacks.
So far as can be ascertained the
situation on the Western front as
created by the allied offensive of Sat
urday and Sunday is about where it
was. The diversion initiated by the
German crown prince in the Argonne
at some places reached the first
French line, but nowhere did the Ger
mans break through.
While German prisoners are arriv-
ing in France by the trainload British
wounded from Flanders are beginning
to reach London. All have the same
story to tell. They describe the ter.
rife bombardment of the allies, be-
fore which it seemed impossible that
any one could survive, and then the
sudden slackening of the fire and the
British charge.
How 1t happened that so many un
wounded Germans were captured IL
puzzling the public.
The fighting in the East still favors
the Russians on the southern end oi
the line, although there is no confirma
tion of the report that they have
reached the important railway june
ton of Kovel The most momentou:
struggle is still centered on Dvinsk
where 1t Is said the Germans are re
grouping their forces preparatory tt
