PULLAR & NIVEN ~ BRITISH REPULSED IN MESOPATAMIA BATTLE * Constantinople Refutes Reports That Turks Were Routed and In Full Retreat Toward Bagdad. Constantinaple, Oct. 2, via London, . 12:19 p. m.—Announcement was made by the war office today that the British forces in Mesopotamia were repulsed in the recent fighting. The report follows: “On September 27 the British re- sumed the offensive. The battle was “» very violent and lasted until eve- ning, but the attack finally failed, not- withstanding the fact that the British farces were four times stronger than ours. “On the Irak front our advanced detachments on Sept. 28 surprised a hostile force which landed on the bank of the Tigris north of Korna, under the protection of gunboat We inflicted heavy losses on them.” 4 Announcement was made in the house of commons on Wednesday that the British had defeated the Turks, who were said to be in full retreat toward Bagdad. BISHOP CODMAN ILL. Boston, Mass., Oct. 2.—Rt. Rev. »» Rabert Codman, bishop of the Episco- pay diocese of Maine, is ill in a hos- pital in this city, it became known yesterday.

Sir Edward Grey admits that Pritish exports or re-exports of many commodities to the neutral countries Lave increased as a result of the loss to those countries of German sources of supply, but he cites figures, many of them taken from official American documents, to show that in nearly every instance the increase of Ameri- can goods shipped to the countries under discussion has been far greater than the British increase. Skinner’s Reports Unfavorable. The British note makes it plain that reports from Robert P. Skinner, American consul general ‘in London, which have been published in com- merce reports, a daily publication of the American department of com- merce, are regarded unfavorably in London. A report from Mr. Skinner, | published on August 30, said: “It continues to be the case that many classes of goods, the exporiation of which from the United States to neu- tral countries is attended with great difficulties and hazards, are going for- ward freely from Great Britain to the same countries, and in some cases in largely increased quantities.” Mr. Skinner cited cocoa as an illustration, without giving figures of American exportation. Sir Edward Grey’s paragraph re- garding cocoa gives an idea of his dis- cussion of many other articles, from the increased export of which the United States is profiting. He says: “United Kingdom re-exports of cocoa have risen from 2,976,143 pounds in January-May, 1914, to 14,- 504,013 pounds in January-May, 1915, an increase, in round numbers, of 11,- 500,000 pounds. Exports from the United States for the same months have risen from 12,300 pounds in 1914 to 16,016,000 pounds in 1915, an in- crease of 16,000,000. These figures speak for themselves.” Blames German Agents. Sir Edward Grey’s note comes very nrear coupling Consul General Skin- ner's reports with ‘statements no doubt inspired by German agents.” After referring to a dispatch from Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, British ambassador at Washington, in which he said that the acting counselor of the state de- partment had referred in ‘conversa- tion to the bad impression created in the United States by Mr. Skinner’s re- ports on increases in British foreign trade. Sir Edward Grey adds that he thinks it well to invite Ambassador Page’s attention to the facts because “statements no doubt inspired by Ger- man agents are being circulated in America to the effect that His Majes- tv's government are trying to stop legitimate trade of the United States with neutral countries in order to capture the trade for the British Em- pire.” N Y.

Come to FORD car SIGNS OF CESSATION ON STOCK MARKET Usual Weck-end Realizing Causes Some Irfegularity—Westinghouse Shows Pronounced Strength. New York, Oct. 2,—Indication of a partial cessation of the week's fur- fous activity in the stock market was seen today. Dealings assumed large proportions at the outset but halted occasionally, the usual week-end realizing causing some irregularity. ‘Westinghouse was the only war is- sue to display pronounced strength advancing to 138 3-8 in the first hour, a gain of 5 1-2, over yester- day’s close, with 4 3-4 for the first preferred. The movement of this stock suggested absorption by import- ant interests, and was accompanied by rumors of developments favorable to shareholders. United States Steel, which rose yes- terday to 81 3-4, its record quotation since 1911, evinced a reactionary tendency, but other industrial and equipment stocks were higher, some making substantial gains. Such recent . favorites as Baldwin Locomotive, Bethlehem Steel and Crucible Steel were lower in the early trading but hardened later. Railroads were again forced into the background with further heavi- ness in Canadian Pacific and some of the eastern lines. Coppers also lost their recent.buoyancy. Sales in the first hour aggregated 360,000 shares. Westinghouse held the lead throughout, its sales in the first hour being three times greater than those of Steel. At its top price of 139 1-2, ‘Westinghouse showed a gain of 6 5-8. News that the threatened strike at the company's main plant had been averted was a seuntimental factor. American Car and Foundry became the second most active industrial, ris- ing abruptly in the last half hour to 95, a gain of 11 points. Its spectac- ular movement was accompanied by reports that the company had closed another large contract with the al- lies. Bethlehem Steel made a new rec- ord, advancing ten points to 375. Total transactions approached 750,- 000 shares, making the two hour ses- sion the most active in years. | ana. recommena | the initiative and WALSH ENDORSED BY DEMOCRATS OF MASS.
