ON TO BRUSSELS IS BATTLE CRY OF THE ALLIED ARMY London, Oct. 22.

Of those who make up the allied forces in the neighbor hood of the Belgium frontier an officer is quoted as saying: "We will be in Brussels; under a month. I expect it to be within a. fortnight." This seems to be the general opinion throughout the allied forces and many vague asser tions regarding the advance along the vast line from the North sea to Rheims are heard, but there seems lit tie proof of any specific success, so decisive in its consequences, as to con stitute a real victory or defeat. Meanwhile the anticipation of a Gc man evacuation of the Belgian coast under pressure is still 'alized, though if the British fleet is de lor a little time longer to maintain undis turbed its present point of vaiiiage it can assuredly render the few miles immediately abutting the straits tin enlerable. Kvery foot of the battleground in West Flanders is contested.

Kvery village is taken and retaken. The rush tactics which characterized the first part of the campaign are being repeated and both sides claim that they regularly repulse these onslaughts. Judging from the French official communication, the allies have aequir ed a "holding habit," which was lack, ing in the earlier stages of the war when they' were admittedly in a state of unpreparedness. The reticence of the German intelligence department, however, largely baffles the attempts of unbiased observers to gauge the actual situation, which when Berlin is E. T.

One of the features of the plan, Van 5 Antwerp said is a refusal to liquidate American foreign-held securities in gold. One of the principal obstacles i to the opening of the exchange he declared, was the fear that, it would at once be swamped by foreign hold- 1 rs of American securities, who would demand gold for their holdings.

It is proposed to check this tide of gold to Kurope by redeeming the securities only for bank balances in this country. VatJ Antwerp declared that 000.000 in gold has already been, ped to, Europe from this country this i 'Tills means," he said, a shrinkage In. oui of $2,400,000,000. To protect our credits it is absolutely essential that a stop be put. to this outflow of gold.

"The business of the country demands the reopening of the stock exchange at the same time. Its closing has put a stop to practically all cor pornle enterprises. I personally know I of $9,000,000 in municipal bonds issued which have failed because of no bids.

Bowing to the influence wielded by President Wilson, the southern Ik-mo-'? cratic filibusters in the house abandoned their demands for rad-' leal plans of cotton relief and accepted a compromise plan which may be adopted. The president will have his way, however, that no cotton legisla- 1 tion shall be attached tn the war tax bill.
