United States will have to lend Euro
pean belligerents money if they con-
tinue to buy munitions in the United
States, according to the consensus of
opinion of St. Paul bankers today. Of
course it would necessarily be private
citizens of the United States making
the loans, and not the government,
they admitted. One significant feat

THIRD ATTEMPT TO
PASSDARDANELLES
Gallipoli Peninsula Operations 1ndi-
cate That First and Second Land
O1fenses Have Failed.
WILL MAKE DRIVE FROM WEST
British Claim They Have Consolidated
Twelve Miles of New Battle Line
Now Have Sufficient Forces.
BY j. w. T. MASON.

New York, Aug. 27.-The opera
tions proceeding on the Gallipoli pen
insula indicate the failure of the first
and second land offensives Of the
Anglo French forces to subdue the
Dardanelles. A substituted third
plan is now being developed. IT,.
The first military effort of the al
lies to open the way to Constantine
pie took the form of a double attack
along the Gallipoli apd Asiatic sides
of the Dardanelles. The French dis
embarked on the Asiatic coast and
the British made several landings on
the Gallipoli peninsula. This paral-
led attempt to overcome the Turks
did not succeed. The French were
driven back into the sea and the
British could not hold their shore
positions. A second place was then
devised. The French and the Eng
lish concentrated at the southern tip
of the Gallipoli and made this their
sole offensive. They drove forward
along line which was occupied by
the French along the Dardanelles side
of the peninsula and by the British
on the Aegean side. But again fail
ure resulted.
Third Plan Coming.
The third plan is now coming: into
play. The attempt to reach the Dar-
danelles narrows from the south has
been postponed, while a new effort is
being made to drive across the peri
insula from the west. This is the
meaning of the new landings along
the Suvla bay district The distance
to be covered, whether from the south
or west, is approximately the same
from six to eight miles. There is lit
tie to choose between the difficulties
of the rough country which must be
overcome: by either route. The ad-
vantage of the new offensive, how
ever, lis that a larger force can be: en-
ployed. =.
Four Miles Across.
The Gallipoli peninsula is scarcely
more than four miles across at the
southern tip where the previous Of
fensive was attempted. So narrow a
front is great advantage to the de-
tenders. By operating from the west
an additional front of Is miles at
least is made available for the drive
to the narrows. The British an
nounce they have consolidated 12
miles Of this new battle line. For
the first time, therefore, the allies are
in position to operate against the
Turks with a force proportionate to
the strength of the Mohammedan
defenses.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Secretary
Of State Lansing admitted this after
noon that he had received much con-
fidential information from Ambassa-
dor Gerard at Berlin, and although
nothing official was announced it is
believed that Germany has given as
surances that Americans need have
no fear from further submarine at
tacks
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, called on Secretary Ian
sing at the state department this
morning and gave the information
that if the torpedo which sank the
Arabic was fred from a German sub
marine that the commander exceeded
his instructions, and told the Amer
ican official that full satisfaction
will be accorded.

Believe Crisis Past.

The more hopeful officials thought
the crisis past and inferred that the
views which Ambassador von Bern
storff had been urging upon Berlin
ever since the sinking of the Lusi-
tania had prevailed with the support
Of the liberals in Germany, who had
been opposing the anti-American
policy Of the conservatives. Secre-
tary Lansing, while outWardly en-
couraged, was reserved, awaiting
some definite declaration from Berlin
and the same attitude was reflected
at the White House.
One fact was outstanding in the
whole situation. 1t was that a fur
tler communication is coming from
Germany, outlining policy which,
it is said, is expected to be satisfac-
tory to the United States. 1t is un-
derstood that Germany will announce
a suspension of her submarine war
fare on passenger carrying ships and
that submarine commanders will be
instructed not to sink any merchant
man without warning pending a dip
lomatic discussion of the proposal for
modus vivendi for relaxation of the
British blockade against neutral COM

Statement From Gerard.

Ambassador Gerard, reporting from
Berlin the substance of conference
with Foreign Minister Won Jagow,
confirmed the dispatches of earlier in
the day, that Germany, even before
the sinking of the Arabic, has adopted
a policy designed to settle completely
the whole submarine problem. The
state department did not make pub
lie Ambassador Gerard's dispatch,
but the optimism Immediately re-
flected at the state department and
the White House was taken as proof
that the situation was on the way to
a settlement
