MONEY
GETS STRONGER;
SELLS At S4.59
Five Points Gained Over Last
Nights Close in Morn
ing Fluctuations.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The English
pound sterling climbed up the ladder
of ascending values as rapidly and
dramatically today as it had plunged
downward during the week. Within
the first two hours of trading, it
perched on rung only one below the
point where it rested at the close of
the market last Saturday.
With an opening quotation of $4.5S,
a gain overnight of four cents, ster-
ling rose in value during the forenoon
till it touched $3.50, ten cents above
yesterdays extreme depreciation.
Then it went down to $4.59, where
the market, though erratic and some
what puzzled by it's rapid fluctuations,
was easier than at any time during
the week
The swift upward course was in
terpreted as meaning that Great
Britain had awakened to the ex-
treme gravity of the situation and
that London bankers had determined
that sterling should no longer be the
football of finance in relations be-
tween the countries. With painful
realism the status of their money
was brought home to them yester-

London Realizes Situation.
Overnight, London gathered up the
frayed ends and united them, and a
ten-cent advance in rates at the
opening of the market today was the
result.

this city late yesterday afternoon,
when the tone of the market here
became more cheerful. The reason,
not then apparent, was abundantly i'll
evidence today. Great Britain was
tired of paying the premium for man.
moth orders she has placed in Ameri-
can markets, and had come to the
rescue of her deprecated money. At
least that was the construction placed
by leading bankers here today on the
upward shoot of values.
The British financiers who are COM
ing here to devise a way to check the
startling changes in rates and estab-
lish a huge credit in some form were
thought today to be nearing this
country. When the Adriatic arrived
today ii was learned that they had
planned TO sail on that steamer, but
had changed their minds at the last
moment. The understanding of some
of the Adriatic's passengers was
that the deputation would come to
this city by way of Canada. This
was regarded with keen interest by
flnanciers here.
When Great Britain's representa-
tives sit down with New York bank
ers here to discuss ways and means
of accomplishing their mission, they
will find their American associates,
it was said today, not only willing,
but eager to do their part toward rec
tifying a situation that they view as
and a menace to British
credit and American export trade
alike.

G|LLEN ISURGED
TO MAKE RUN AS
AN INDEPENDENT
Conference of Democratic As
sociates Votes Against En-
tering Primary.

Friends of Charles p Gillen, men,
Der of the Board of Works, held a
meeting last night in the old Tele-
phone building, at 160 Market street,
and went on record in favor of Mr..
Gillen becoming candidate for re-
election at the regular election. The
assemblage was composed of about
eighty Democrats from all parts Of
the city.
Every ward was represented. There
were a number of speeches, carry
ing strong criticism of the action of
the Democratic County Committee in
refusing to indorse Mr. Gillen for re-
nomination. The speakers declared
the county committee unfaithful in
not rewarding Mr.. Gillen for his
work as city officer. Strong feeling
was shown by several of the speak
ers. 1t was declared there Is a GEN
eral feeling throughout the city. both
in and out of the party, in favor of
Mr.. Gillen. Some of the speakers
referred to Mr.. Gillen as a possible
candidate for mayor next year.
The meeting was called by Mr..
Gillen for the purpose of obtaining
an expression of opinion regarding
whether he should be a candidate
for the Board of Works at the Demo-
cratic primaries, or to run at the
regular election as an Independent
candidate. James F. Caffrey, of the
Ninth ward, presided.
Sure of Success.
Edward M. Waldron, the con-
tractor, spoke in favor of Mr.. JIiIleu
entering the primary race for the
nomination He was sure Mr.. Gillen
could easily defeat the organization
candidates.
Former Sheriff William Harrigan
spoke in favor of Mr.. Gillen remain
ing out of the primaries and making
the race at the regular election. He
felt sure. he said, Mr.. Gillen could
not get "a square deap' at the pri-
maries. In closing, Mr. Harrigan
predicted that Mr.. Gillen will be
given higher civic honor for his work
in behalf of the public. He asserted
that Mr.. Gillen's opponents have ma
terially assisted toward that end by
their recent actions.
A representative from one of the
Democratic strongholds below the
Pennsylvania railroad predicted that
If Mr. Gillen is candidate he will
sweep that section of the city He
declared that the Democratic voters
have been aroused by the action of
the county committee.
A vote was taken on the question
of whether Mr.. Gillen should become
candidate at the primaries. This
was defeated by a standing vote OF
about four to one.
Mr.. Gillen was asked today If he
had made a decision in the matter.
He said he had not, but he probably
would make up his mind In a day or
two. He said he deeply appreciated
the expression of feeling toward him
and his work as member of the

at Midnight.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Sept. q
United States troops today were trail
ing a band of Mexican raiders who
set fire to and partly burned rail-
road trestle fourteen miles north or
Brownsville shortly after midnight.
Special troop trains from Brownsville,
Harlingen and San Benito were hur-
ried to the scene about o'clock this
morning. Reports at 10 o'clock said
the Mexicans had not been over
taken.
A party of Americans travelling
from Brownsville to San Benlto in an
automobile who passed the trestle
short while before it was set on fire
reported they had been fired upon
nv a band of between twenty-five and
thirty Mexicans.
The trestle was fired shortly after
the regular midnight passenger train
had passed, indicating, officers be-
lieve. that the band had no desire to
andanger the train or it's passengers.

j. S. AID SOUGHT
BY GERMANY TO
END WORLD WAR
This Is Asserted to Be Primary
Object of Submarine
Note.

WASHINGTON. Sept Am au-
thoritatiye though unofficial, state
ment emanating from the German
embassy today TO a representative of
the United Press is to the effect that
the object of Germanys action in
presenting the note of assurance to
the American government Wednes-
day was primarily to join forces with
the United States in her effort to
establish the freedom of the seas and
to promulgate an early European
peace. The settlement Of the ques-
tion of principle at stake between the
American and the German govern
ments was a secondary object.
From this source also came this
statement of Germany's attitude to-
ward peace:
That the allies six months ago
could have accomplished a peace
wherein Germany would have sought
nothing but freedom of the seas.
Polish Freedom Demanded.
That the allies can at this time
establish peace by agreeing to Po-
lish freedom, to freedom of the seas,
and that the Jews of all countries be
unequiVocally accorded their alien
able rights as human beings.
That a year from now, when Ger
many's conquest and victories have
mounted higher and higher. the allies
can establish peace only by more and
greater concessions than those out
lined at present.
Continuing, the United Press in
formant said that the allies must
answer to civilization for each hours
continuance of this frightful war.
He reiterated that Germany never
has wanted war, and is and has been
willing at any hour since August of
1914 to make an honorable peace.
This source looks with optimism
upon possible developments of a
peace nature, as the result of the
American governments possible ac-
tivities since Germany's memoran-
dunn of Wednesday.
1t was pointed out that the finan-
cial conditions confronting England,
Russia and France make this mo-
ment peculiarly propitious for a
peace move.
1t was officially stated at the Ger
man embassy that if Ambassador
Bernstorff had cabled the kaiser, as
reported, that President Wilson is
the only man who can bring about
peace in Europe, It certainly would
not be known. The publication of
the statement, it was said, proves
conclusively that it is not true. The
report was characterized as a sum-
mary of all that has gone before,
without possession of any additional
new facts.
Ambassador Bernstorff had heard
nothing further on the Arabic. His
present plan is to return to Cedar
hurst. Long Island for the week.
end
1t was said, however, that. of
course, developments cannot be fore
seen, and that the ambassador will
be in Washington at least until to-
night. This statement was charac-
terized as being without significance
and TO be accepted at face value
purely.

EXPECT FORMAL
GERMAN NOTE
ON SUBMARINE
Believed that Berlin Will First
Report on Arabic In
cident.

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.--The adj
ministration expects formal note
from Germany on the general subject
of submarine warfare, in addition to
the memorandum" Ambassador
Bernstorff presented Wednesday, the
State department admitted today.
II was expected, however, that Ber-
lin would first report on the Arabic
incident.
This, ii was explained, would be
the natural order of diplomatic pro-
cedure.
Count Won Bernstorff's letter con-
tanned the information that the new
policy of Germany had been decided
before the steamer Arabic was sunk.
Officials here are gratified with the
German announcement, as it is be-
lieved to end the crisis in the relations
between the two governments. They
consider that the way has now been
prepared for a final adjustment of all
differences.
Germany's next communication. it
was said authoritatively, will be
formal disavowal of the sinking of
the Arabic and reparation will be
made for American lives lost in the
disaster If the attack was made by
German submarine.

LONDON, Sept. 2 (1:45 p. m.)-That
Great Britain cannot be a consenting
party to a settlement of the subma-
rine question. which puts a liner and
its passengers into a class apart from
a merchantman and its crew. is the
general attitude taken by the eve
ming newspapers on the note of Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor to the United States, to Secretary
of State Lansing in Washington.
I'VE can acknowledge no such dis
tinction," says the Westminster
Gazette, "and for full satisfaction Of
our claims we can accept nothing less
than establishment of the law
which protects all non -combatants,
whether neutrals or nationals,
whether they are travelling on liners
or on ordinary merchantmen.
"Our case has been admirably de-
fined by President Wilson both in
the note he wrote on February 10,
when Germany had given notice of
her intention to abandon legality, and
in the further note after the sinking
Of the Lusitania. In these no dis
tinction was made between a liner
and a merchantmen. We cannot help
hoping that the United States viii

pounded in the presidents earlier

BY the United Press.
PETROGRAD, Sept. General
.fyanoffs armies have escaped the lat
est trap set by the Austro- Germans.
The fortress of LUX has been evacu-
ated by the Russians with scarcely
any loss in men or guns and the Slavs,
falling back in the direction of Dubno
fortress, have taken 10000 prisoners.
The Austrian plan to pierce the
Russian line in this region, roll up
the flank nf (xanara1 TUnnnfffc for0ad
and cut off the Russian army corps
operating In Galicia, has broken down.
The enemy has made no material
gains, but, on the contrary, has suf-
fered heavily in killed and captured.
The Slav line already has been re-
formed.
Half million Austro- Germans are
now engaged in the attempt to sweep
the Russians out of Galicia. But de-
spite their most determined efforts,
supported by heavy shell-f1re, the
enemy forces have been unable to
break the Slav front. 1t is admitted
here that the complete evacuation of
Galician territory may be necessary
because of the enemy's superiority in
men and shells, but the present re-
sirement in the Strypa river region is
being accomplished with very light
losses. Russian counter-attacks, on
the other hand, have resulted in Sc
we're losses to the enemy, who is ex-
posed to Russian fire from the river
heights.
In the north, the Germans have
drawn nearer to Grodno, but else-
where there is no important change
in the situation. The Russians are
maintaining their positions at Fried
1ichstadt despite the enemy's inces-
SAINT fire.
In some quarters it was believed to-
day that the Austrian movement
around LUX forecasts an attempt to
reach Kiev. The majority of the mill
tary critics here, however, believe
that the enemy's efforts will be next
concentrated in an attempt against
Petrograd.

Very few high-bred horses have been
