LIGHT TRADING ONLY
ON THE PARIS B0URSE
Chief Feature of Market provid-
ed by American COppers.

Paris. Oct. l0.-The Bourse again has
been concerned chiefly with liquidation,
and in consequence trading has been
very light. American coppers provided
about the only feature. Miam! rose 10
francs on rumors that the company
would be absorbed by the Anaconda,
while Chino, Ray and Utah also were
in demand.
The Bank Of France gained another
Sl0.00o000 in gold, while az the same
time S40,0OO,0O0 was added 20 the
note circulation and another 10000

hoped for in many quarters. Alfred

BE READY BY END
OF WAR, TAFT URGES
Ex-President Explains Purpose
of New League TO En-
force Peace.

How the recently organized League
70 Enforce Peace plans, not TO abolish
war. but to furnish means of avoid
ing it and provide machinery by
which IL may be made less probable
was explained yesterday morning by
ex-President William L. Taft, the
leagues president, at Mount Morris
BAPTIST Church. He also defended the
purposes Of the league against criti-
cisms that it was premature, that Its
method of settling disputes was un-
constitutional and that 1t was a de-
parture from the rule Of entangling
alliances.
"We have a dreadful oataclysm be-
fore Us in Europe" the former Presi-
dent told the 1900 members of the
congregation, land we have been
brought very close 20 il. We shall
continue TO have war as long is gov
ernments are made of men and men
have the human nature and defects OF
human nature that lead TO controversy
and ultimately TO war
Mr.. Taft, who was the first speaker
in a series Of peace talks 10 be gwen
each Sunday, then toad how the league
had been organized last June in Phila-
delphia and Of the general DECLARE
tons 10 which its founders were will
ing TO commit themselves.
The ex-President said one purpose OF
the organization is 20 call congresses;
TO discuss questions of international
law and form a kind of legislative
body for charging its code. Touching
upon international questions which
would come before the council OF con-
Citation, he continued:
ave have exactly such questions
We allow all the people Of Europe to
come in if they pass certain examina-
tions. but we don't let the Chinese and
the Japanese in. Nor do we allow
them to become citizens. 1t is our
right TO say who can come in and who
must stay out unless we bind our
selves By treaty to some obligation to
let them in. Yet the discrimination
against the japanese causes a feeling
that grows bitter and may lead to frie-
tion."
Answering an objection that the pur-
noses of the league were premature
Mr. Taft declared that there was no
reason why a discussion should not be
begun that our minds might be settled
when the war was over, because then
is the time when we may hope to
make progress in leading all the ma
tons TO take step TO prevent re-
currence Of such an awful war

Rome. Oct. 10.-The following official
communication was issued to-day by
the War Office:
The enemy is displaying great
activity in constructing defensive
works and establishing his communi-
cations. His exertions, however, are
being seriously impeded by our ar
tillery and by bold raids by small de-
tachments Of our troops.
Along the Isonzo during the day OF
the 9th and the following night, after
intense artillery preparation and vol
leys of hand grenades, strong
enemy force attempted attacks
against our positions on the right Of
Slatenlk, in the Plezzo basin; on
Mrzlivrh, in the Monte Nero zone; at
Dole. in the Tolmino section, and at
PLAYA and at Zsgora, on the lower

Russians Hurl Foe Back
20 Miles Near LutZk

Petrograd, Oct. 10 dispatch to "Daily
News" London THE stubbornness OF
the Russian troops is still preventing
the Germans under Won Buelow from
securing Dvinsk and the line to Dvina.
new German offensive has been
launched at Gorbunovaka, where, 20
protect the approach 70 the river, the
Russians have met the Germans with
machine gun fire Of such terrific VIC
lonce that whole columns were flung
back, unable to parry the assault.
Similar fruitless attacks were made
In the Smorgon region, 100 miles south
of Dvinsk. These attacks were all re-
pulsed. Heavy fighting is continuing
here.
II is reported that in the marshes of
the Pinsky bands of German deserters
are plundering right and left. The peas
ants there are forming companies, and,
armed with rifles, are conducting sue
cessful guerilla war against these Ger
man irregular troops.
After a fortnight's halt the Russians
have renewed their offensive in the re-
gon from the Styr to Sereth. Infantry
forces, by an energetic attack, dislodged
the enemy from the right bank of the
Styr and occupied their position at
Koshistchi.
More important still is the Russian
offensive in the direction of Lutzk. On
both sides of the Rovno-Kovel railway
the enemy was thrown back a distance
OF twenty miles. Near Lut-k the Rus
slams captured $500 men, besides nu-
merous trophies. Successful aeroplane
raids have been made against the
enemy's railway at Czernovitz. This
station has always played an impor-
tant part in German offensive opera
tons in the south. Masses of troops
and munitions have been brought there,
and il is reported that Russian raid
caused extremely heavy damage 10 the
enemy and seriously disorganized his
plans.
