 SERBIAN POSITIONS
Germans and Austrians Start Campaign to Push Way
 to Turkey. V

Berlin, Sept 21, via London 11:05 a. m.-Official reports from Aus trian and German headquarters and despatches from the Balkan capitals show that the long expected Teutonic campaign against Serbia has now be- gun. Austrian and German artillery today is bonn barding various Serbian positions south of the river frontier between the mouths of the Drina and Morava rivers.
 as cover to the throwing of force across the river and the seizure of a bridgehead whence the new Steam roller' can be started. Just where crossing will be attempted is un- known.
 The shortest route to Bulgaria would lead through the northeastern corner of Serbia, where barely thir- ty miles of Serbian territory inter- yenes between the Bulgarian and Hungarian borders. The difficult mountainous country, the absence of railroads and the proximity of the Rumanian frontier, however. speak in favor of the old route of the Crusad CTS further to the west through the broad and fertile Morava Valley. Through this valley run roads and railway line to Bulgaria and Turkey. This railroad touches the Danube at two points-Belgrade and Semendria both of which are under Lombard ment today. ..S

COTTON MAKES BIG GAIN.

New York, Sept. 21.-Cotton was extremely active and excited today, selling soon after the market opened at from 20 to So points above las. nights closing figures.

MASS. HOLDS PRIMARIES
Close Contest Expected for Republi- can Nomination for Governor in Bay State. 5A

Boston, Sept. 21.-Heavy clouds presaged rain, which was considered likely to have considerable effect on the size of the vote in the joint pri- nlaries in this state today. It was thought, however that the interest aroused by the strenuous campaigns of many of the candidates for republi- can and democratic nominations would bring a large number of voters than usual to the polls. The pro- eressives were able to participate only to the extent of nominating a candidate for governor, because of a lack of sufficient signatures to nomi- nation papers for other offices. UndesnR& &.hew law going into effect for the ffbt, time today the names of candidates of all parties appeared on single ballot, but it was provided that split ballots should be thrown out. .'-
 It appeared probable that the closest contest would be for the re- publican nomination for governor for which the candidates were former Congressman Samuel w. Mccall, Graf ton D. Cushing. former speaker of the house of representatives and former Governor Eugene N. Foss. Congress- man F. s. Deitrick sought to head the democratic. ticket in place Of Cover nor David I. Walsh, who. asked re- nomination for third term. Nelson B. Clark was unopposed as the pro- gressive candidate for governor.

Rate for Ruble Must Be Raised and Given Stability
SAYS MINISTER OF FINANCE
Pierre l.. Bark Declares Power or America as Center of Production able Manner.

Paris, Sept. 21, 1 p. m.-Pierre l.. Bark, Russian minister of finance, has concluded his conference with the French finance minister, Alexander Ribot He departed today for Lon don to take up financial matters af- fecting the allies with Reginald Me- Kenna British chancellor of the ex- chequer.
 Before his departure M. Bark made the following statement to The Associated Press:
 "I would, be infantile to deny that the role of the United States in in ternational finance during the past year has been extremely important. The power of America as center of production has been affirmed in an in contestab1e manner. The needs of the belligerents have changed inter- national credit balance so markedly in favor of the United States that the question of exchange has become acute.
 Resale of Securities.
 Supplies which America is sending to Europe prepare the market for the resale to Americans of their securi- ties held in Europe. It is to be hoped that the Anglo delegates me- gotiating in New York will find 8 basis adapted to American tastes and tenn perament."
 M. Bark alluded to "The lively sym pathies of Americans toward Russia when she was emancipating the serfs at the same time that America abol- ished slavery and maintained the union." He continued: Russia is going through a difficult period as re- gards exchange. S We cannot export our products and there is a lack of remittances from abroad. Russia has large payments to make abroad, and she cannot make them in goods or products. r'% "@
 Countries Must Cooperate. .... ly in February, and the French and sistancet of Russia with advances which have been employed to pay coupons and purchase supplies. Evi- dently this policy of cooperation must be continued. That is one of the questions which the ministers of finance are considering.
 "Cfrtain precautions must be taken to raise the rate of exchange for the ruble and give 1t stability, Improve ment in exchange will facilitate inn portations into Russia, which now are obstructed by depreciation of the ruble.
 Using All Resources.
 Russia is putting into the com- mon effort with her allies all her re- sources in men and money. She re- ceives from her allies indispensable cooperation. Inferior to the Ger mans in the beginning, from the point of view of preparation for the war, we have made up part of the dis advantage through the common eff fort of the government, the people, the Duma and the council of the em- pire. We shall continue to decrease the difference between ourselves and our enemies in that respect"

The Russian war office said on September II: Enemy submarines have been reported in the Black sea near the coast of Crimea. Destroy CTS and submarines have been sent to pursue them.' A subsequent despatch from Petrograd said g submarine of the new German type had exchanged shots with the Russian Post on the Kercn Peninsula, in the Crimea. The size and type of this boat and the interruption of land communication between German and Turkey made 1t appear that the underwater fvtilla had been sent from Germany to Tur- key by sea.
 The feat of eluding the British blockade and passing through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Darda- nelles was accomplished last summer by Capt. Otto Hersing with the sub marine U-51, which was said later to have been sunk in the Black sea by Russian warships. .-

indicated at midnight tonight when
returns of ITO precincts out of 1913
showed that the vets stood 5,262
and the drys 27.147. Frank Aid,
head Of the saloon forces, estimated
at midnight-that the vets had car
ried by from eight to nine thousand.
Rev. Geo. Stafford. head of the
drys. charged the vets with gross
est frauds and illegal voting" as re-
sponsible for the large vote polled.
1T now appears that the vets
have carried the vote," he said
shortly before ten o'clock. "If it
had not been for the greatest
frauds there would have been no
doubt of our victory. We are still
in the running and if defeated will
bide our time"
During the day charges of fraud
were freely made by both sides and
much bitter feeling was evident at
the polls. Three men were arrested
at Seven Corners charged with vio-
lating the corrupt practice enact
ment. It's said by the police that
these men were employed by brew

Most of the population is within
