Washington's allotment is s2o.ooo.ooo.
This means that more than a million
dollars must be subscribed daily until
the close of the campaign. Up to to-
day the subscriptions this week have

A whirlwind campaign, including a
house-to-house canvass by many of
Washington's most prominent business
and professional men. was planned to-
day by Chairman John Poole OF the
Washington liberty loan committee.
Figures made public by the Treas
ury Department for the entire country

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN. October 19.-The key
to the policy of the German government
in refusing to mako any definite state
ment of peace terms is furnished by
Herr Hoch, a socialist member Of the
reichstag. German newspapers report
that the deputy told yesterday how DR..

Welcomed to Conference.

On account of all this effort members
of the missions and delegations who
are still here welcomed joyously the
news yesterday that it Is practically
certain that the United States will be
represented at the forthcoming con-
ference of the allied nations There
have been signs that the United
States must forsake Its aloofness from
the allied councils. and at least consider
problems of concerted action outside
the purely military field. Therefore.
those who have tried to SOW the seed
of their ideas here now see a hope of
their fruition.
Equally joyous was the welcome ac
corded the announcement that Col
House had been designated to collect
peace negotiations. Some amusement
was expressed at the announcement
that Col. House was not to go abroad
in his hunt for information along geo
graphic, economic and political lines. "
For Col. House to go abroad, 1t was
pointed out, would be a waste OF time
and money. when all he needed to do
to get both sides of almost any question
affecting any people anywhere on the
globe would be to watch the registers
at about four Of Washington's leading
hotels. For sooner or later a mission
or an individual envoy. either officjaI
or unofficial. Is sure to arrive here
That this fact was realized was fndi-

AMSTERDAM. October 1s-After the
socialist conference at Wurzburg had
adopted the resolution rejecting mo-
ton to bind the party to vote against
war credits in the reichstag. Herr Hoch,
member of the reichstag. declared on
behalf of the independent socialists
that they were in favor Of the coun-
try's defense and would only refuse to
vote for credits as long as the imperial
government failed to promise the
adoption of the peace demands OF the
socialist democrats and to make
changes in the constitution.
Herr Hook added that the patience and
strength Of the peoples in all countries
were coming to an end and that the
government ought to understand that un-

| After the first of our American

ed across the sea and said: The

diately render to France Is to
extend Association Work to the en-
tire French Army" This voice
was none other than the voice Of
General Pershing, calling for those
agents whose influences are special!
ly meant for the physical, mental
social and moral mothering of mil
lions of boys both on land and on
sea. Those influences that convert
leisure minutes into healthful hours
and healthful hours into knowledge

every unit which environs the
trench, the hand of mercy, the
smile OF cheer, the word Of comfort
has found it's way and the "hut"
has taken on the semblance of

No chart can record the far

that which cannot be weighed and
cannot be measured by military fig
