LOAN LOOKS LIKELY
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—The billion dollar loan asked
for bv the allied nations in this country seems to be in a
fair way of accomplishment. Pledges have already been:
made for a considerable portion of it and nearly half of
the total sum is said to be now certain.

SUBMARINES STOP WORK
LONDON, Sept. 16.—German submarine operations
have been practically suspended for more than a week!
during which time scarcely a vessel has been sunk. No
statement as to the cause is given by Berlin but the quiet- j
ness of the underseas craft is supposed to be due to the
demands by the United States.
RUSSIAN CABINET REMAINS
PETKOGRAD, Sept. 16.—The government officially
denies that the cabinet Has resigned and stigmatizes the
report of the resignation as nothing but a fake. It is no j
secret that some of the ministers have resigned, or have:
been asked to resign, but this has happened only in a few
cases for the good of the country.
TEUTONIC ATTACK SLACKENING
LONDON'. Sept. 10.—Bitter fighting is now proceed- j
ing for the possession of Dvinsk between the Russians!
and Germans. The Teutonic attacks are palpably slacken- j
ing and the result of the battle will probably have a de
cisive effect on the fate of Riga. Advices from Russian
sources show a confidence in being able to hold the enemy.1
They are certainly gaining strength.
THE BULGARIAN ARMY
VIENNA. Sept. 16.—The newspapers of this capital
are now prefectly convinced that Bulgaria will soon take
the field with the* Teutonic allies and that she will be able
to place three hundred and fifty thousand well equipped
men in active service. A peculiar tact arises from the
possibility of Bulgaria’s entry into the conflict and that
is that Gen. Dimitrieff who led the Bulgarians to victory
against Turkey has since commanded a Russian army
against the Austrians in Galicia. It is likely that this
government will object to his employment again in the
Bulgarian army should his nation open hostilities. It is
assumed by military experts here and in Germany that if
Bulgaria tights she will attack Serbia and Roumania in
the rear while our forces attack them in front. Success
for our arms in such a conflict will open the way to Con
stantinople and to the relief of the lurks at the Dar
danelles. ___
