FINAL EFFORT IDE Lord Derby Pleads-for All Enlist at Once. to LAST CHANCE TO BE GIVEN Briton la Charge of Recruiting; Problem Says All Physically I'i't Sliould Volunteer and Thus Avoid Conscription. lON'DON, Oct. 19. Lord Derby, whom the Bvemment has Intrusted with the task of solving- the recruitins prob lems, in addressing a mass meeting at the Mansion House this afternoon. gave the gist of the plan by which be nopes to meet the situation. I suggest." he said, "that every man who recognizes that the state has a right to call on hia services for her protection . should enlist at once. All those physically tit and wishing to Join the colors at once could do so, but the remainder could continue at their usual vocation suujeci to call wnen needed- Unmarried and married men, Lord Derby explained, would be put into respective groups and the bachelors carried first. Married men would be called later, according to age. By such a system, he pointed out. there would be no sudden, unmanageable number of recruits, but a steady supply as neeaeot. Someone had asked him, he said, why recruiting was an urgent necessity, to which he replied: "Look at the map." Lord Derby said that a fortnight would be allowed men called.- to ad Just their private affairs. He hoped that, with a proper response, it would be unnecessary to call the older mar ried men: in any event, these older men would, so far as practicable, be placed in the' medical and transport units. "This is an honest attempt," declared Lord Derby, "to give every man a chance to do his duty a last effort In behalf of voluntary- enlistment. I be lieve yet that the voluntary system can bo made an unqualified success, but there is no time to lose. IS ALLIES AT DISADVANTAGE IN SAL. KASS, SAYS MOB-AHT.

The discussion between the entente nations regarding their respective par ticipation in the Balkan campaign is still uncompleted. Major Moraht points out. and, regarding such participation, he says that France Is unable to spare troops from her home front, while her colonial troops are not suitable for ser vice in a Serbian Winter campaign. Great Britain's shaken forces from the Dardanelles would not be able to cope in battle with the victorious German and Austro-Hungarlan forces and the Bulgarian troops, he adds, while Italy wishes to make her own war, saving her soldiers and her gold.

Surveyor of Cuoms Says Line AVaa Able Get Great Price and tlaea ! ' j ' - Seamen' Act for Pel It Irs. SAN .FRANCISCO. Oct 13. Congrea slonal investigation of the sale of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's fleet was recommended to William- C. Red field. Secretary of Commerce, by Jus tus S. Wardell, Surveyor of Customs here, it was said today by Mr. Wardell on his return from Washington. This investigation, he said, in his opinion, would be ordererd at the next session of Congress. The seamen's act, Mr. Wardell said, wa not responsible for the sale of the rat-uic Mai; liners. One reason why the Pacific Mail sold Its ships and. I venture to- sav. the real reason was that the company received 100 per cent more by a sale at this time, owing to the war and the Heavy demand for shipping," Mr. War den said. "The company also saw a r.hancA in' make some political capital out of the sale. "It would be well for Conzress to summon R. P. Schwerin, vice-president ot me r-aciric aiau: A. J. Frey, assist ant general manager, and various superintendents, and have them testify o to ine reasons ror tne sale. Also, an examination of the company's books might produce some interesting facts." Mr. Wardell said he had data to show operation under the seamen's act wouia not nave cost the Pacific Mail more than 11000 a month more than previously, woiie, he said, the com pany was making a net profit of about 111 a mile on its larere vpssclq Mr. Wardell said he made a report of ine saie 10 Mr. Redrield at the Secre tary's request and that, in his nninii the suggestion for a Congressional in- vesuganon was favorably received.

Ships Lend" Great Aid. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 1. (Corre. spondence of the Associated Prose.) The position of the allied troops on the Anafarta-Arl Burnu front o( tho Gal lipot! Peninsula cannot be described aa a promising one. Such at least was the Impression gained by tho Asso ciated Press correspondent during an eight-day stay in the war area in question. This conclusion is based en a thorough inspection, of the Turkish n4 allied prisoners of war. What la perhaps of more importance is the result of four major military actions which occurred while the correspondent was on this front. They consisted of an attack by the allies on a Turkish position north of Kodjatrhemon Xuigb on tho after noon of August iu. An assault on Turkish trenches in the same general locality onthe same night, and two attacks on Anafarta on August 2 and 27. In each instance the allies were driven bd.:-k with heavy losses. No per manent advantages wtra sained by thm. Allies Losses Heavier , The losses of the Turks were by no means light In any of these operations, but the allies, acting on the offensive, suffered heavily. Their losses for the four actions are estimated at 11.060 to 13,000 dead and dauhlo that number of wounded. The ground held by the allies was that part of the coast region which could be commanded by their naval artillery. Thus far the allies have landed in the Anafarta region about 115, 000 men, a large part of which force already has been used up. It is safe to say that they are today opposed by about 135.000 Turks, who are actually in trenched, with about lO.OHO in re serve. Every advantage of terrain is held by the Turks, whose trenches are lo cated on higher ground than those of tne antes. Fire of Allies Superior. With the positions lost the allies today hold themselves in the Anafarta region solely by virtue of an immense artillery fire superiority. Without the support of some -40 ships, cruis ers and torpedo-boats, they would be tnrown Into the sea. There have been moments, however. when the Turkish trooDS in the An afarta district have been hard pressed. Jin atiaca made by the allies on Au gust 25 and. 27 in- the direction of Kiretrh Tepe 'ended in terrible slaugh ter of British troops, some 3800 dead being counted on August 20. British prisoners assert that their Dosl- tion is a mipt trying one. Water is ex tremely scarce in the Anafarta, region, and it said "only one well is in the hands of the British. The result is that water must be brought from the Island of Imbros and even from 8a- lonikl. One-half pint of water at noon ts the only allowance of this necessity, prisoners state, that is given. British ia Poor Health. Up to a week ago the food of the British soldiers consisted of six army biscuitsv a preserved meat ration, soma candy and jam. Poor health is the re sult of Lhla diet. The corresnondent talked to an English prisoner, who. unable to obtain medieal assistance, had become so weak from dysentery that his comrades had to abandon hira when the Turks took the trench in which he was stationed. It is said there are many similar cases. To other handicaps of tho allied troops must be added the great heat and ever-present dust. It cannot be said that the trnnns recently brought tothe peninsula are first-class material. Many of the men are too younsr to endun the hardships of such a climate. The correspondent -witnessed the total annihilation of a British comnanv which had penetrated a Turkish trench, but was destroyed because its flank was left uncovered. Whether this was due to impulsiveness of the men or to the negligence of others could not be. icarneo. EXPORTS BREAK RECORD CARGOES WORTH S76,000,000 LEAVE SEW YORK IV TWO WEEKS.

Exports from tho port of New York during- the first two weeks of October reached the record-breaking total of $76,184,169. of which virtually two-thirds represented war munitions and supplies, according to figures made public today. Exports yesterday amounted to $15,882,409. and if the amount of business durina the remainder of the month ia equal to that tor tne flrst part, all monthly export records at this port will be eclipsed. Virtually all of these exDorts went to England, France. Russia or Italy. Of the first week's total S4.183.295 was for explosives; J3, 635, 865 for rifles. cartridges and weapons: J2,37,918 for automoaiies, trucks and tractors, and $2,743,709 for copper, brass, iron and steel manufactures.
