NEGOTIATIONS FOR GREAT CREDIT LOAN
 PROCEED SMOOTHLY

New York, September 24.-Members of the Anglo-French financial commission, 1t was reported today. have Discarded their previous views on certain snajor de- tails of the proposed credit loan and have accepted instead the suggestion of Amer lean flnanciers on all cardinal points.
 Negotiations proceeded smoothly today toward the establishment of credit along the following lines:
 The amount to be $500. 100000. or possibly little more; the price to the investor tc be slightly below par; .the joint Anglo. French notes issued th4refore to run Ave years and to be convertible at option into IS or 2o-ysar Anslo-French bonds. paying AZ per cent interest Russia probably to be eliminated as a psrticipant.

Brownsville, Tex, September 2A--Mexi- cans today attacked detachment of United States soldiers at Progreso. 4o miles west of here, and killed Private stubblefield of Troop B, Twelfth United States cavalry. according to advices re- ceived here.
 The Mexicans approached from the dt- rection of the Rio Grande. one mile from the hamlet. An American detachment, which has been on duty at Progreso since It's recent fight, when a soldier was killed. and an officer wounded, was camped in front of a house The Mexi- cans opened fire on the sortie and Private Stubblefield fell.
 The telephone wires were cut early today and only meagre details were obtainable. Tt was reported that two American sol diers were wounded.
 The soldiers quickly returned the fire moving rapidly toward the house. and firing every time a Mexican showed his person. The Mexicans who were reported mounted. retreated in the direction ofsthe Rio Grande.
 Reports at noon were that from two to eight Mexlcans had been killed. No fur ther casualties among the Americans were reported.
 One troop of the Twelfth cavalry and a large deta chment of the Twenty-sixth ifl- fantry were engaged. Lieutenant Payne. in charge of infantry detachments, re- ported by telephone to Brownsville that several Mexicans had been killed. He

London, September 25.-An Ex- change Telegraph dispatch from Athens says:
 "A decree has been promulgated convoking the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday to pass an act of mar tial law and to put at the disposal of the government all the state rail- ways. Transportation of merchandise has been forbidden"
 London. September s4.-As "meas- ure of elementary prudence" Greece has ordered mobilization of her naval and military forces.
 Thus Bulgaria's military preparations have brought the last remaining Balkan state under arms, for Roumania for sometime had had her troops ready for an emergency.
 What plans Bulgaria has in mind and what Greece and Roumania will do when these plans mature are still mat ters for speculation. One thing seems clear however. Bulgaria and Turkey, many years sworn enemies, have com posed their differences
 The Russian general. Ivanoff's success In Galicia and volhynia. 1t Is believed here. may still have an influence In more than one way In the Balkans. Ivanoff has been so successful that the German field marshal, von Mackenzen, who Is fighting north of the Pripet marshes, eastward of Brest-Litovsk, has, according to Berlin, been forced to withdraw his line somewhat, as 1t was in danger of being encircled. while the Austrians have been driven back across the Stry and. according to one account, have evacuated the fortress of Lutsk, in the volhynian triangle of Actresses, which they captured In the great drive.
 These successes. which extend to the Roumanian frontier, military observers believe, would serve to ease the situa- tion on the Roumanian flank should Roumania join Russia and, too, might well prevent the Austro- Germans from sending an army, which 1t is estimated must consist of at least a half million men. to attack Sevia.

Third German War Loan
 Largest In Worlds History

Berlin, September 24-(Via London, Sep tember 25)-The German war loan raised September 2i is the largest financial op- eration in the worlds history, said Dr. Karl HelfferIch. secretary of the im- perial treasury, to the Associated Press today.
 With total of 5000 OO0,ooo and some small sums not yet reported, the secre- tary said it exceeded Great Britain's last loan, which attracted much attention all over the world as an unprecedented piece of financing.
 ''The present loan. pr. Helfferlch con tinued enables the government to liqui- date treasury bills taken over by the Reichsbank and other banks, provides Germany with money for the winter cam paign and renders unnecessary the raising of another loan before March.
 .Engiand hitherto has raised A,0s2 800. ' OOo and Germany $625O. 900. GOO in long term loans, whereas England's war expendi- lures up to the present time are hardly less than Germanys and soon will ex- ceed Germany's for England is now spending nearly S25,0O00oO daily against Germany's not much above $15. .0OO. That means Germany Is spending 25 cents per capita daily and England 55 cents. I doubt therefore. whether En9Iand' 6 fInanciers possess confidence that their resources will outlast ours.
 Appeal to Patriotism
 ''Everything said abroad about Germany putting on pressure and using force to get subscriptions to the loan Is a pure invention We appealed solely to the financial power and patriotism or oui the worlds eyes to recognition of how strong Is Germany's financial power and bow strong her will

Many Applications Received

Montgomery September N.-(Special) The state board of equalization Is receiv- 6ng numerous applications for places on the various county boards of equalisa- kion. The state board. as is known, is xiven authority to appoint one member pn every county board, and already hun |dreds of applications have been filed. rhe state board, also, will appoint a H. esnse inspector for every county in the Dtate, making a total of 134 men whom khe board will appoint under the provi- eions of the new revenue law
 Tn making these various appointments ehe board will confer with Governor Hen Aerson, whose wishes will be consulted In the various matters in connection with the conduct of the state department.
 So far as can be ascertained neither khe governor nor any member of the |eoualization board has made any prom lses with reference to the places to be |nlied on the county boards. Only busi- hess men of ability will be named. and /tn making selections the governor and state board will. it Is understood. exer- cise every precaution to obtain the best men available.
 The new revenue law provides. as ia known. for the appointment by the state board of one member of every county board and for the appointment by the various boards of revenue of the sec ond member. These two will name the third member of the board.

 notwithstanding the Morgan-Holden in-
 cident. Independence is the first word
 in American history. as we'll as the first
 word of true friendship. America cans
 not class us among her poor relations"
 Dr. Helfferich asserted that Germany
 was financially able to continue the war
 indefinitely. Her people. he said. were
 earning higher wages and saving moro money than in peace times The country was supplying it's own needs and buying
 little abroad and making no debts to foreign countries.
 In conclusion the secretary said that shortage in supplies of some raw ma terials, like cotton and wool, might cause inconvenience, but the people were learn ing to economize. old wooden clothing was being reworked into shoddy. and coats could be worn shorter. Sub stitutes for some materials were being found, he added.
 British Credit Loan The British Parliament passed last week
 credit of s1.250 O00.o0o. It was the seventh since the war began and brought the 1 total amount to $6,31OOO0.000. Premier Asquith said the daily expenditure of
 Great Britain was $175oo,00o, but that there was likelihood of its increaslng owing to advances to Great Britain's ar
 lies and her dominions and to provision | for munitiono.
 l Dr. Helfferich's reference to the Nor gan-Holden incident possibly has some
 connection with the conferences in New
 York between Sir Edward Hopkinson Hol- den. managing director of the London
 City and Midland bank. and J. F. Mor- gan with regard to the loan the British and French commissioners are endeavor- | Ing to secure in the United States. Sir Edward ia . member of the Brttish com ] mission. *

 The senate calendar fer the hftieth day contains 140 bills and the house calendar win show an equal number of measures., However, several hun dred bills have been dropped from each calendar during the past three days, measures having been slaughtered by the wholesale as soon as 1t became
