Victorious in First Clasl, with Serbians on Way to
 Turks Rescue.
BULGARIA CASTS
 LOT WITH TEUTONs ;
Greece and R0umania Will Join En- trRte Allies Upon Proof That Rul- gars Are Supporting Austro-
 German Alliance.

London. Sept. 2o.-German troops have reached the Serbian frontier, and were victorious in their first clash with the Serbs. This was off cially announced by Berlin today. This is believed to indicate the be- ginning of the long-expected Teuton drive through Serbia, having for it's object the relief of the Turks.
 Coincident with this news, Bulgaria let it be known that all restrictions against tha passage of goods through that country to Turkey have been re- moved. Berlin interprets this state- ment to mean that Bulgaria has deii nitely decided to align herself with Germany. Austria and Turkey.
 Car Ferdinand of Bulgaria, how ever, assured leaders of the oppos- tion in the Bulgarian parliament who favor the qUadruple entente that Bulgaria has not committed herself to either side, and that no action will be taken without consulting parlia- ment.
 An Exchange Telegram company's dispatch from Athens states that the formal transfer of the territory in Thrace coded to Bulgaria occurred to- day. 9
 The conflicting dispatches received from the various Balkan capitals continue to mystify London. There is disposition to believe, however, that the railroad agreement between Bulgaria and Turkey commits the trality toward the central empires and Turkey.
 Greece -ROumamia Against Bulgaria.
 Rome dispatches say that Greece and Roumania are watching every move of Bulgaria. It is intimated that they are ready to war on the side of the allies if Bulgaria joins the AustrO-Germans.
 King Constantine of Greece receiv-e ed Premier Veneze1os and several members of the cabinet yesterday. Three classes of Greek reserves have been called to the colors.
 Bulgaria has called to arms resi- dents of those sections of Macedonia under Serbian rule which she de-i manded from Nish as the price of her continued neutrality. Serbia offered to grant nine-tenths of the territory demanded. This was made known to- day to Bulgaria in joint note of the entente allies. t
 It is reported from Paris that the new phas opened up by this action may result in second note from the allies, asking an explanation of Rulgaria's action at time when ne- gotiations are proceeding by which Bulgaria may obtain the territory de- sired.

POSITIVE NOTE TO
 BE SENT ENGLAND
Official Thinks Ii Inc0nceivablr Brit an Should Re Assisted with Loan While Shc Continues Oppression
 of American Commerce.

Washington, Sept 21.--An urgont cabcgram was received at the state department from the agents of Amer ican importers at London stating that the situation between the importers and tho British government has be- come intolcrable.
 The agents of the importers who have been dealing in vain With the British board of trade and other Eng lish authorities in their efforts to get AmCrican-ow q goods out of Europe, insist on prompt action by this gov crnment.
 Acting Secretary of State Polk, Special Adviser Chandler Anderson and Solicitor Cone Johnson went in to conference hurriedly on receipt o' the cablcgram, and it was und rstood message was being prepared to be sent to Ambassador Page for presen- tation to the British foreign office.

 It became evident here this after noon that very important develop ments had delayed the transmisslon to Great Britain of the note which ] had recently ben described, after 1 Mr. Eansing's conference with the 1 president at the white house, as com- pleted. It was stated today by olfl- cials that the note is only in draft | form" and it is now certain that | whatever was the vigor of the phraseology of the draft, it's terms 1 will be even more vigorous and dras- tic in the final revision.
 Fear is expressed by, some officials that there may be public statement on behalf of all of the importers which will be embarrassing to the

Action of Great Banking House Will Affiliate
 Against Loan Plan.
OUTLOOK APPEARS
 DARKER THAN EVER
Additional Opposition Developing, Elf. fUrts Being Made to Make Loan More Affirmative to Investors and Banks.
 But Commission May Balk at 69o.

New York, Sept. 2o.-Knhn, Loeb &, company hay: decided not to take any part in floating the proposed loan to England and France, the Information al News Service was informed today At the firms offices all requests for information met with the reply that nothing whatever could be said about any phase of the loan negotiations.
 The news that the leading interna- tional banking house in the United States with German associations will not join in underwriting the $750,00,- 900 tor thereabouts) loan, is expect ed to initiate against the success of the Anglo-French finance credit com missions mission.
 It was reported today that other in- terests had decided not to come in and that the success of the undertak- ing was farther from having been assured than the newspapers had been intimating.
 Plan May Fail Entirely.
 In the face of the developing oppo- sition it was said the terms originally tentatively agreed upon might have to b. made materially more attract i've. Instead of allowing only one half of one per cent commission It was said the allowance might be one per cent per annum during the five years the total loan would run.
 In some quarters thera were hints that the yield to the public would also have to be increased above the five per cent heretofore named.
 "Rather than pay six per cent, the commission will return empty-hand- ed" one we'll acquainted with condl- ,cos declared.
 Haggling over the exclusion Of munition payments from the money raised by the loan was still going on today. it was reported.
 Concessions to Banks. Conc ssions talked to attract bank ing support included payment 10 rthe loan by the syndicate of guarantors in installments as required to meet bills run up here. the banks to retain on deposit all the funds realized by them in selling the bonds until such time as the money was actually need. ed. This, it was agreed, would swell the. deposits of the banks placing the bonds. > .'1 . When necessary, J. 'P.ta Morgan & company. the allies fiscal az, n.s' would call in the money by install ments, each bank contributing the same percentage.
 The s750OoO,OOo wanted may have to be considerably cut down, it was was rumored. Whether Russia will or Will not come in, will bs settled, it was believed when Russian Financial Minister Bark reaches London. lie conferred in Paris today with French Finance Minister Rivot.
 Subscriptions for the largest ter man war loan were advertised for in German papers in the United States today.

Petrograd Admits Situation Serious, But Has Conf
 dence in Czar.
RUSSIANS CHANGE
 TO ESCAPE SMALL
Attacked from All Sides, Little Hope Entertained That 3OO,0OO Slay Troops Can Eyade Jaws of 2M-
 Mile German Trap.

l London, Sept. 20-More than a million Germans under the personal leadership of the kaiser are making herculean efforts to lock within a | 2G0-mile ring of steel the 1000 Russians retreating from the Wilma | district.
 Semi-official circles in Petrograd admit the situation of the Russians 1 is more serious than at any time since the campaign in the east has attained it's present vast scale. Con- fidence is expressed, however, that the czar vii lbe able to extricate his l troops b; fore the jaws of the Ger man trap clamp together. While correspondents in Petrograd dwell in their dispatches on the chances of the Russians to escape a debacle, Berlin officially has little to Say about the fighting. Only a brief ms ntion was made of operations in this district in the official statement issued tonight. It said:
 ''The forces retreating from Wilma are being attacked. We have reach ed the Djedniki-Holjane line."
  Emperor William is personally di- recting operations in the Wilma dis trict. It adds that he himself has not yet entered tho city. Bavarians Gain. But at Great Cost. Both Hanks of the Russian armies retreating from the Wilma salient are being pounded by great forces of Germans. Bavarian troops, lighting to cut off the Russian retreat from the south, are battling desperately along the Lida- -Baranovitchi railroad. Their losses are reported to be tre- mendous, but tn eir gains, while small, are steady.
 According to military critics. the Germans have succeeded in throwing a loop of some 200 miles around the Russians and are seriously threaten ing the single railroad line and wagon roads on (which the Slavs can retreat,
 It is believed that the Russians will have to dash to safety, abandoning whatever heavy transports they have with them or risk general battle,' such as the Germans have been try ing to force on them in the hope Of cutting their way through.
 It is believed that most of their heavy transports have long since been moved to the rear, as Wilma was evacuated only after the preparation of weeks.
 Advance Against Dvinsk.
 In addition of Wilma, the Germans have succeeded in making further advance against Dvinsk. Won Him denberg's forces have driven the Russians back to the Dvina river from the Novo-Alcxandrovisk front, and operations against the bridge of Dvinsk are proceeding.
 Closely cooperating with von Hln- denberg's armies, Prince Leopold of Bavaria. has cut the Vilna-Rovno rail- way while von Mackenzen is report ed to have advanced along his entire front. Despite the recent Russian sue cesses in Eastern .Galicia and Vol hynia. the director of the Russian Southwestern railroad at Kiev was quoted today as saying that the evac- uation of that city was almost com pleted and that preparations for the removal of the inhabitants were proceeding normally"
