In response to inquiries directed to Amor loan roads, replies have been receivoil from 114, and estimating from tht* figures quoted, which were based by the roads on the dividend checks, th'’ round figures of five billions were reached.

Foreigners in the troubled zone not only find difficulty in liquidatinR their own securities,, but they must accept most severe reductions In values. Naturally, in order to obtain funds they will sell that upon which the sarlflce is the least; where the best price may be realized.

'I'he Germans continue to strike hard blows on tho Allies lines in a'l endeavor to reach tho coast, but have found every road blocked. The floods and Belgian Army together with the Hritish fleet have t effectively barred tiieir way and they are practically at a standstill. Attacks have been made on the al lies linos at many points but without succes. It is believed tho Germans are making a last effort to reach thr> I'oast, and that if it fails, they will fall back to controll Belgium. The fighting continues on the east Prussian frontiers, in Poland and in Golocia. There are no important re sults reported in Poland and it is be lieved no battle of any importance wil be founght until the Russians overtake the retreating Germans. i'Aports During Octobcr Will Ke Ou the Heavy Side, Washington, 1).
