In these attacks the Germans claim that they were enabled to occupy some French trenches. The French re- port, issued later, admitting this, says the German progress was accomplish- ed by the use. of asphyxiating gases but that in counter-attacks the French regained the greater part of their lost ground at Hartmans-Weilerkopf and later repulsed another violent attack against that position.

The three main Russian armies under Generals Ruszsky, Evart and Ivanoff, althought reduced and out-numbered, still are full of fight, as is shown by their offensive on the Sereth river and the Austro-Germans must look to their own defence before reinforce- ments reach their opponents.

New York, Sept. 10.—The Anglo- French commission, seeking a way to meet the huge bills of Great Britain and France for American munitions and other supplies, reached New York today, was welcomed by J. P. Morgan and met approximately 100 prominent bankers, insurance heads and leaders in other lines of finance late this aft- ernoon at a reception in Mr. Morgan's library. Tonight the commissioners were dinner guests of a party of New York financlers. Actual negotiations as to the credit they hope to establish here were not begun and will not be for several days.

This statement detailed the personnel of the body and recited its purpose. It was assumed to be signi- ficant that in this statement reference was made to the commission as “the joint Anglo-French commission.” This was taken as an indication_that the credit which it hopes to establish here would be of a joint nature as previous- 1y reported unofficially. Although the commission comes as the representative of the British and French governments and importers of both nations, it seemed likely tonight that it might, before its departure, be called upon to;adjust the whole foreign exchange situation for all the entente powers. the previous re- port that the delegation probably would act for Russia, there was add- ed tonight the intimation, on good au- thority, that Italy might within a few days find it expedient to request the commission to act for its government as well.

Washington, Sept. 10. — President Wilson's nequest for the recail of the Austrian _ambassador, Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, has broadened into & situation involving Captain Franz Von Papen, the military attache of the German embassy; Alexander Nuber Von Pereked, the Austrian consul-gen- eral in New York, and possibly Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassa dor. The official view is that the Ge: man ambassador, although technically invalved. is not so seriously concerned as the mili attache or the consul- eneral It ia mot umikely that both of the latter may be recalled or dis- going over the German note.

Talk of Break of Diplomatic Relations Hopes that the submarine crisis bad been safely passed and that a_ break between Germany and the United States had been avoided were displaced today by misgivings. Talk of the pos- sibility of breaking diplomatic rela- tions was heard again, although this time it involved both the central pow- ers, on the theory that Austria, after having her ambassador virtually dis- ml-{gm the country, might stand with ally in relations withthe Unfted States. A Second Note Spoken Of. Unofficial reports that a d note had been started from the Berlin for- eign office for Washington furnished about the only basis of optimism in official quarters, so far as the sub- marine controversy was _concerned. There was no official intimation that another communication was on the way, but the American reply to the note on the Arabic probably will be delayed until officials can _learn whether to expect anything additional from Berlin. American Note Next Week. It may b stated, however, that if nothing comes in the nature of & modi- fication of Germany’'s explanation, an American note will reach Berlin prob- ably early next week which will set forth the views of th@® United States in a brief and unmistakable manner.
