SEES EARLY VICTORY In
BALKANS AND DARDANELLES
London Expects Decision Over Turks
in Few WeekS-Balkan States
Ready to Join Allies.

Optimistic reports concerning the
Gallipoli operations have been IN
circulation for the past few days and
prophecies are freely made that a
few weeks will see the close of the
Allies most difficult task in the near
East. The Turks, too. expect the
Anglo-French forces to be success
full, if the news reaching Sofia from
Constantinople is reliable.
1t is felt in London that. so far as
the Dardanelles are concerned, it is
I matter Of indifference 10 the Allies
whether the Balkans lend a hand.
Their assistance is wanted, however,
against Austria, and also to shorten
Turkish resistance if the straits are
opened. For these reasons indica-
tions in the near East are being
watched closely and Serbia's deci-
sion on the proposals of the Quad
ruple Entente for satisfying the as
oirations of Bulgaria, is awaited
anXiously.
It is believed in London that Ser
bias reply will be satisfactory and
that Bulgaria's cooperation will be
assured. This would open the way
also for an active policy on the part
Of Roumania, who wants assurances
Bulgaria will not attack her before
she begins to move her troops. 1t is
confidently expected all these Ques-
lions will be settled to the satisfac-
ton of the Allies and that within
the same period the future policy OF
Greece will be announced definitely

HAITI GETS ULTIMATUM
FROM THE UNITED STATES
Uncle Sam Wants to Take Control Of
Island Republic for Period
of Ten Years.

The American government has ad-
dressed the government Of Haiti, eX-
pressing it's desire that there be ac-
cepted without. delay the draft Of
convention for ten years, under which
there shall be established an effec-
tive control Of Haitien customs as
well as administration Of finances Of
the country, Under a receiver-general,
and American employees.
Under the terms of the convention,
both municipal and rural police are
to be natives; under the command,
however, Of American officers. The
plan includes the arrangements Of
the debts Of Haiti to foreigners and
an agreement to cede no Haitlen ter
ritory to any foreign power except
the United States.
The Haitien governemnt has been
slow in replying to the communica-
tion of the American government,
and accordingly the American charge
d'affaires handed to the Haitien au-
thorities note granting delay up
to Wednesday noon, so that the Sen
ate and Chamber Of Deputies might
vote on a resolution authorizing the
executive power to sign the conven-
ton with the United States.
The Deputies and Senators have
been in secret committee meetings to
discuss the matter. They are hostile
tc the principle involved. 1t is be-
lieved they will vote a resolution au-
thorizing the executive power to sign
treaty, but they doubtless will de:
sire to discuss the terms Of the con-
vention before giving it their ap.
proval, measure necessary under
the provisions of the Haitien consti-
tuition.
Under the provisions Of the sug,
gested convention dealing with con,
troll Of the nations finances all Hal,
tien revenues collected will be sci
apart for, first payment of the per,
sonnel of the government; second
payment Of interest and sinking fund
charges of the foreign and domestic
debts Of the republic, third, to meet
expenses under the regular budgets

been most effectively set at rest. A
new line will have to be taken some
distance east. This line will prob,
ably be through what is known as
white Russia" beginning at Riga
and from there along the Dvini river
to Duennaburg and from there fol.
lowing the railroad from Villa
through Ida, Baronvichi, Pinsk, and
Rovno.
Even this line, particularly the
northern part from Riga to Wilma
may be made untenable By the TAX
ing of Wilma and the forcing Of the
whole Russian line along the Me
men. An indication that this latter
is a probability of the near future. is
found in the capture of Olita, a small
fortress on the right bank near the
bridgeheal of the Vilna-Swalki rail-
road: Grodno is all that is now left
of the Kovno-Brest-Litovsk line, and
this, too, must go as the retreat on
north and south continues.
1t is difficult to picture the Rus
sian army in its retreat, with appar-
ent inability to make a stand even
behind the strongest defensive
screens nature affords, when we think
Of the army that captured LemberS,
PrZemysl, Jaroslau; that marched
victoriously through Galicia to the
gateway of SILICA itself. 1t would
seem that the entire organization had
gone, that as an effective fighting
force it had ceased to exist but for
the fact that in all it's retreats there
has been no indication that the troops
have been out of hand or uncontroll-
ed or that anything like panic has
existed.
The retreats have been, so far as
we can judge, orderly, well con-
Quoted, in some cases almost leisure
". The cause can not, then be any
thing but lack Of ammunition. 1t
does but little good, however, to
diagnose the cause unless a way can
he found to remove the cause. The
Dardanelles seems the only answer.
In the Italian theatre matters have
been absolutely at a standstlll.
Fighting has been going on on the
Carso Plateau in the vicinity of Do
berdo. and in Trentino near the head
of Lake Garda. but there have been
no developments beyond the point
noted last week.
The same holds true on the French
front in the west. Reports of war
correspondents speak of a new big
French gun and a pending offensive
on a large scale. If such an opera
ton were in the air the Germans
would hear of it before the Ameri-
can press.
Then, too, large regular flow Of
munitions must be obtained from this
country before the supply available
on the western front will be suf.l-
cient to meet the demand such an
offensive would place upon it. At
least sixty days must still pass be-
fore our manufacturers can make
material deliveries Then it is pos
sible, though by no means certain,
such an offense may be begun.

SHIPPED 639,O03 BALES
LESS THAN BEFORE WAR
Due to Low Price Cotton Exports
Drop Over Two Hundred Mil
lion From Last Year.

While American cotton exports
during the fiscal year that ended
June 80, decreased by only 739,O03
bales, their value was S234,257,S29
less than those Of the preceding
year, according to figures issued
Wednesday by the department OF
commerce at Washington. The de-
crease was due to depressed prices
compared with those of one year ago.
Despite an increase of 27,562
bales in June exports over June,
1914, the planter received only S15,-
S44,362 as against s1S,725,444 in
June last year.
Exports to Great Britain, Spain
and Italy showed material increases
in quantity for the year. Direct ex-
ports to Germany, Austria and Bel
GUM negligible and France and ia
pan showed material decreases.
ALI other Europe, which embraces
the neutral countries except Spain,
took 1,,3S2,626 bales, valued at $780,
492,SS9 in the fiscal year as against
94,S96 valued at s5,S3O,O97 in 1914

NO WORD FROM GERMANY
ON FATE OF THE ARABIC
German Ambassador Telegram TAX
en- as Omen of Favorable An
swer From His Government

While government officials We'd
nesday awaited another statement
from the German government regard
ing the Arabic case. unofficial word
was conveyed to President Wilson
that close friends Of Ambassador Won
Bernstorff believed his recent tele-
gram foreshadows action which will
satisfy the United States.
The president was informed
through these friends that Germany
wanted to maintain friendly rela-
tious with the United States and that
the next message from Berlin would
be of a favorable character.
Secretary. Ii nsing would make no
comment on the ambassadors tele-
gram. The message. however, was
egarded as answering the inquiry
which the state department directed
to Ambassador Gerard because it
showed that the German government
itself was lacking information neces-
sary for an explanation.

the week Bielsk, on the same rail

been occupied by the Germans. Prac.

the Russians to do then but to eVac-

masked and later captured, as was
the case with the works at NoVo-

AS a matter of fact. the Russian
troops occupying the line in the I'M

situation that existed at Wal 'aW pre-

the statements sent to the state de-

In these circumstances, only one
course appears to be open to the ad-
ministration, and that is to take
some positive action that will mark
it's resentment Of the continued vio-

cording to information obtained at
the state department, the govern

had a fair chance to explain or to dis

The expectation is that the evil
dence desired by the president and
the secretary of state will be in their
hands within a few days and instruc-
