largely upon the feelings of the mem

not being favorable to an expense

- The situation is to lose the income of

to become the dumping ground of every

Developments Are Hinted at in
Dispatch to Berlin from Bulgaria
BERLIN, Aug. Sl.-(Vla London, 4:86 p.
m.) The correspondent at Sofia of the
Vosslscha Zeltung telegraphed today an
outline of the proposals made to Bul
! Srle on both aides of the diplomatic
contest. His dispatch says.
"The conditions which tha quadruple
entente Imposed on Bulgaria in return for
territorial concessions In Macedonia stip
ulated that Bulgaria obligate Itself to de
clare war on Turkey.
'The central powers and Turkey, for
their part, demanded fiom Bulgaria In
return for cession of a portion of Turkish
Threes, an extension of the hitherto ex
isting benevolent neutrality. What this
consists of bsd best be kept silent for
the moment. It will make Itself apparent
later ss soon as events on the Danube
front hava advanced far enough."
The British employed 100,000 men In
their attscks on the Galllpoll peninsula
last Saturday and Sunday, according to
a dispatch from Constantinople to the
Frankfurter Zeltung, and their losses
were extremely heavy. The correspon
dent estimated that since August S the
British losses have beon in excess of
50,000.
' According to ths correspondent, the
killed among tha British troops In ths
.fighting of August 8 and August 39 In
'eluded about (00 officer. A cavalry di
vision, he declared, was almost com
pletely wiped out. Ths dispatch con
tlnues:
"British prisoners knew nothing of the
fall of Warsaw and other Russian fort
resses. They had been, told that the Rus
plans held the entrance to ths Bosphoru
and were working toward a junoture
with the British. In contrast with th.
first months of the campaign, many
British soldiers now voluntarily surren

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
AT SERIOUS STAGE
Rate Drops to Point Where Bankers
Say Great Britain Hay Cur
tail Buying Here.
DEALINGS NEAR STANDSTILL
NEW YORK, Aug. 81. Foreign
exchange rates reached their most
serious stage today with an over
night break of 3 V4 cents In sterling,
the English pound Helling In this
market at 14.68 H, close to the mark
where curtailment of big foreign or
ders to the United States would fol
low, In the opinion of bankers here.
Nothing like the violent break In
quotations had ever been recorded In
foreign exchange markets here be
fore. The low level reached today
was 14 cent below the mark set
weeks ago by financiers as the so
called Irreducible minimum which,
when reached, would cause British
buyers to seek other markets In
which to place their orders for such
Imports as could be obtained else
where than In America. Foodstuffs,
manufactured goods and many other
products, In fact almost everything
except actual munitions of war, were
embraced within this category.
Pemorallitatlon In the foreign exchange
markets was succeeded by slmost ohaotio
conditions as the result of the break.
Healings In foreign exenange were vir
tually at a standstill, Katna varying as
much as a cent were quoted by different
houses, but these rates. In almost every
cam were purely nominal, and there was
no business worthy the name done In
English money here today.
The big break means that English buy
er, In addition to the top of the market
prices already paid by ttiem In this coun
try for Amerioan products, are called
upon to pay a premium of SSft cents on
every pound s worth ot purchases, or
more than t per cent' With London car
rying this onerous burden, something
new to British bsnkers, as English money
has for generations been the world's
standard of International flnanos, the i
question discussed In banking circles here
today was how long Great Britain would
continue to buy hers such articles as it
wss not compelled to.
There is no other world market of
importance open, It wss pointed out, but
more ilgid economy at home In all Im
ported articles and purchases by Great
Britain from suoh European neutrals as
had wares to sell, it was thought would
undoubtedly follow If exchange rates
should gs fower. This would result In
lessening to an exnt which cannot now
he estimated, the genount of goods which

ths country. , " r
Not an American rontraot has yet been
cancelled, it was said, but the heavy
premium which British buyers must pay
gives every Indlcutlon, In the opinion of
looal hankers, that cancellations will fol
low unless rstes are rectified very soon
and that there will be a decided slump In
new orders. What this would mean to
American Industriea cannot bs estimated.
Ths new low record of M.M4 was the
fifth low record established In five con
secutive bualneca days. Since last Thurs
day the pound sterling has dropped from
Hflt, or 6H cents, nearly one-half of
which was registered when the market
opsned today.
With sterling's break today, francs
also were depreciated to within 1 cent
of their previous low records of 16.05.
Lires wore quotsd at tA.62, yesterdsy's
close, 4 cents better than the lowest rates
reached, and relchsmarks went to S0S4o,
Mi sent abovs their lowest, and cent
below their closing quotation of yester
day. SECOND CROP OF BERRIES

"Tha special correspondent of the

Brest-Lltovsk, picturing the soene as
one of ghastly, senseless destruction.
The entire space between the outer forts

FIGHTING AT THE DARDANELLES
LONDON, Aug. SI. The Russian

further north they are advancing

Along the western front the usual
