and making costly counter attack
against the advancing lines 0
Germans and Austrians on the north

The Italians report gaius against
the Austrlans In the Alone valley
but admit being obliged to withdraw
from the Carso plateau from which
they tried, July 20, to drive the
Austrians.
Germany IS keeping up her sub
marine activity around the British
isles, sinking number of ships after
allowing the crews to escape. Among
the vessels sunk July % is the
American steamship LeelanIaw, from
Archangel to Belfast with a contra
band cargo of fax and tow.
Ten new ammunition factories are
being built in England The allies
are reported to have already bought
a million dollars worth OF munitions
in America and have placed orders
amounting to million and a half
more. These are gong chiefly to
England and Russia.
The third American note has not
been favorablY received in Germany.
The German press does not think
1t Is right for the United States, as a
neutral nation, to seek to protect
British ships with American passen-
gers, and declares that the American
government seems to care more for
the crlppling of the German submar-
Inc war than for the slfeguaIding of
American lives. The note, they
assert, proves that pro British in

PEARY BELIEVED
 STEPHENSON SAFE
Had Faith that Explorers Experience Would Enable Him to Survive
 Rigors of Arctic Winter.

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 18.- Commodore Peary, discoverer of the North pole, expressed the greatest pleasure when informed that Explor- CT Steffenson had made his appear ance at Baille Island in the Arctic. He asserted that he had never lost hope that the famous explorer would return safely as Steffenson was an explorer of experience and would survive where less experienced men would perish of starvation.
 Peary is intensely interested in the report which he believes Steffenson is sure to have sent back to the Cana dian government which is financing the expedition. He believes that Steffenson's researches in the Arctics will astonish the scientific world and that Steffenson will be. regarded as one of the worlds greatest explorers,

BANKERS DIFFER
 REGARDING LOAN
Many American Financiers Opposed to Loaning Money to Allies for
 Purchase of Munitions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The bank CTS of America, who are subscribing to the huge loan now being made through the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, for financing the pur- chases of the the British and French governments in America, are divided in their opinions as to the use which will be made of the money.
 Many of the bankers are opposed to American gold being used to furn- ish the allies with munitions of war, but are willing to subscribe to the loan with the understanding that the money will be used in payment for the immense quantities of food stuffs now being sent to Europe That the plans of the New York bankers to raise the half billion loan is rapidly materializing is the report in banking circles. The banks of America are flooded with gold for which the bankers are unable to find investments which will return the high rate of interest promised by the European governments on their loans.

NEW PRESIDENT OF
 HAITIAN REPUBLIC

WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 18.- The administration has recognized President Barti Guenavies as head of the republic. During the cam paign, which resulted in the election of Guenavies he favored the treaty with the United States, giving Amer ica entire control of the Haitian re- public's finances for a term of ten years.
 It is believed that now that the customs receipts have been placed iu the care of the United States govern ment, that the rebellions which have torn the republic will cease as the many factions were only desirous of securing control of the finances of the country.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 1S.- The War office has issued state ment that a German army is coming to the assistance of Turkey and that the way will soon be cleared whereby the Turkish army will be enabled to receive shipments of munitions direct from Germany. It is believed that the Germans have prepared cam paign which will crush Serbia past all resistance and that the campaign is about to begin. That the Allies have made considerable gains in Gal lipola is known to the populace of this city, who are panic stricken and clamoring for peace, fearing that the straits will be forced and the city subjected to shelling by the warships. The announcement that German army has started south to aid the Turkish troops in repelling the land forces in the peninsula, has given encouragement to the people and they are cheering the German officers of the Turkish army. A strong German army is reported to have been con- centrated in Southern Austria ready to begin the campaign.

CAVALRY FIGHTS
 ACROSS RIVER
One Mexican Killed and Scores Are Wounded in Long-Range Shoot
 ing Across the River.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Sept. 18.- The United States cavalry battled with Carranzaites across the Rio Grande yesterday afternoon. The fight lasted for several hours and re- suited in one Mexican being killed and scores being wounded. The bat tie was caused by Mexicans firing across the river, the bullets flying around the Americans, who were patrolling the border for raiding bands of outlaws. During the en- gagement the greatest excitement prevailed in the city and it was with difficulty that the American soldiers were prevented from invading Mexi- co in pursuit of the snipers.
 As result of the battle the sol diers guarding the border have re- ceived instructions to shoot on sight any Mexican found shooting into Texas, and to arrest any Mexican found carrying arms in the State. The American rifles proved superior to the arms used by the Mexicans in the long-range fighting across the river, which is three-fourths of q mile wide where the engagement took place.

10 PLEAD FOR
 A GREAT NAVY
Secretary Will Ask Congress fof More Submarines, Aeroplanes
 and Faster Ships.

BOSTON. Sept. 3O.-Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, came out tonight for a million dollar ap- propriation for submarines, for fast CT ships in the navy, more target practice, development of aeroplanes and more actual work in the navy yards. in addition to repair work, in an interview with The New York Times correspondent, he said:
 You may rest assured that the United States Navy is ready for any emergency. At present there are 50 more ships in active service and 5000 more men on duty than there was two years ago.
 "I realize the wonderful power and the great weapon that the sub marine is, and for this reason I am going to recommend to Congress in the Spring, the spending of one mill lion dollars on this type of ship, as we'll as building number of aero planes, which are rapidly being de- veloped into one of the most de structive wea apons of modern warfare. Whatever we need the most will be developed, whether it is ships or aer- oplanes.
 Faster ships we need also and we are going to have them if I have my say. I do not wish to specify just what class they will be, but you can be assured that they will be fast"

INTERESTED IN EXPL0RER'S WORK
Scientists of the World Anxiously Awaiting Report of Ste6enson
 as to His Discoveries.

OTTAWA, Sept. 1S.-The news that Explorer steffenson is alive and safe in the Arctic regions has been made public by the Canadian gov ernment under whose auspices the expedition is being financed. The dispatches from Nome are meagre, merely stating that the explorer is at Baille Island, had discovered new lands and peoples, and is preparing to continue his researches in the far north.
 Scientists the world over are inter- ested in the work of Steffenson and the government is in receipt of mes |sages of congratulation from scien- lists in nearly every country in the world, expressing pleasure that the explorer who was believed to have perished has survived and is contin- uing his work.
 Steffenson's message also conveyed the information that he had purchas- ed the steamer Polar Bear and was outfitting at Banksland for two years exploration of the new lands which he had discovered.
 Scientists are anxiously awaiting the detailed report of Steffenson's s work which he is believed to have sent back to the Canadian govern ment by the vessel which brought the report of his being safe.
