New York. Sept 15.--America's
billion dollar loan to Great Britain
and France seemed to be well on the
way to actual Accomplishment tonight,
according to bankers familiar with the
pledges secured by members Of the
Anglo French financial commission
during their five days stay in this
country.
Indications of Success.
Announcement at this time that the
success Of the loan was assured would
De. these bankers thought. decidedly
premature; but there was every indi-
cation. in their opinion. that the COM
missions work thus far had met with
a degree of success that had fully
equalled their expectations.
This rosy view reflected the thoughts
OF the men who have ehampioned the
commissions cause here and aided
them by hard work IL did not coin
eide with the sentiments OF those op-
posing the big loan, nor OF the So
called pro-German fiaanciers here who
have not been invited to attend the
commissions conferences or meet the
commissioners
SO far as could be learned from
bankers in touch with the commission
and its work. the situation tonight was
about as follows:
Pledges Secured.
Pledges have already been secured
for a considerable fraction OF the big
loan.
Other pledges are in prospect.
The so-called pro-German banking
houses OF New York viii be invited to
participate In the loan IL the commits
sion can be persuaded they are sincere
in their expressions Of Willingness to
do so.
How Loan is to es Divided.
The billion dollar loan probably, win
be divided into two and possibly four
separate series OF equal amounts.
Bonds upon which the loan win be
granted will bear not less than per
cent interest and will be payable in
dollars. free from British income tax
requirements.
Try to Sell at Par.
An attempt win be made to sell the
bonds at par. in case the interest rate
should be per cent. Members OF the
commission fully believe that such
bonds could be disposed OF at par but
American bankers have their doubts on
this score
Opposition from Pro- Germans.
Opposition to the fiotation of the loan
Is countrywide among Americans Of
German sympathies or parentage. but

determination to aid in floating the

tmpeded the task.

London. Sept. is. 1910 p. m.-Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's drive
towards the Dvinsk-Vilna railway is
not progressing as fast as his pre-
vious enterprises of a similar nature
have done and except at one or two
points about midway between these
towns, where his cavalry have cut the
railway, he is still being stubbornly
opposed by the Russians, who are
making vigorous counter attacks.
Won Hindenburg, however, has
reached a point west of the bridge
head across from the town of Dvinsk
and is preparing to attack that for
titled area.
Along the rest of the line the Ger
man advance has also slowed up, while
in Galicia the Russians are still at
tacking and. according to unofficial re-
ports from Bucharest and other points,
the Austro German armies are falling
back across the Dniester river. Just
north of the Galician border the Rus
SLAMS also are on the offensive and are
making an attempt to recapture the
fortress of Dubno, which the Austrians
took last week.
This offensive in the south, it is

believed, will have an effect on the
rest of the front, as reinforcements
must soon be sent there or the Teu-
tonic allies will run the danger of be-
ing outf1anked. Despite this the Aus
trians have sent reinforcements against
Italy and have at some parts Of the
line assumed the offensive. The coun-
try is so rough and the Italians, since
they declared war, have been so sue
cessful in capturing important posi-
tions for defense, that an advance
by the Austrians cannot for some time
threaten the defenders. The oper-
at1ons, however, are likely to take on
more interesting character
The heavy guns continue their bonn
bardment along the western front, and
In the Vosges another battle is in pro-
gress for possession of Hartmans-
Weilerkopf, which has changed hands
so often during the past few months.
According to dispatches from Hol-
land the British warships again have
attacked the German positions on the
Belpgian coast. Air raids by allied
airmen on towns now occupied by the
Germans and by Zeppelins on England
are daily occurrences.

GERMAN FOREIGN OFFICE
PROTESTS coLoRED TROOPS,
Charges That Africans and Hindoos
Murder the Wounded.

Berlin, Sept. Is. via London, Sept.
IS, 1.55 a. m.-The foreign office has
just issued a memorial in English
against the employment of colored
troops in the western theatre <by
Franco and Great Britain on the
ground that they have brought with
them the savage practice Of war of
their native countries.
The memorial charges the Africans
and Hindoos with numbering the
wounded and with mutilating the dead.
1t is assered that the ears are cut from
the dead and are worn in strings as
necklaces by the coloTed troops and
even thaat the heads are severed from
bodies as wal trophies.
These charges are supported by nu-
merous documents, consisting partly of
reproductions of letters an ddairies
found on dead French soldiers or
French prisoners, and partly of affi-
davits of German officers and SOL
diers and German women living in
France when the war broke out.
