WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 20.
Ten million people went lover
the top" to reach the $4,000
100000 goal of Americas second
Liberty loan. All classes and
ages are on the subscription hon
or list today.
Early returns to the treasury
department leaves the grand to-
tai of Americas second response
for dollars in doubt, but that the
IS, 000,000,000 maximum has
been passed by a comforta Bile
margin is assured.
When the last coin rolls in, 1t
is confidently believed more than
twice as many people will be
found to have subscribed nearly
twice as much money as in the
first loan. Thursday will tell the
complete story of the loan results.
The work of education in the
first two Liberty loans is regarded
by officials today as auguring GER
tain success of future campaigns.

TEN HlllLgOM GO OVER

The next loan will be floated in
February, it is predicted.
Meantime, Liberty bond buyers
who do not obtain their full pu--
chases because of a scaling down
due to over-subscription, will be
asked to accept war saving GER
trificates.
Frank A. Vanderlip is prepared
to launch his savings campaign
today. The country has been
aroused by the Liberty loan
drives, he believes and will quick
ly snap up the certificates.
The New York district leads the
country with indications that its
81, 100000 maximum was
over-subscribed by nearly a quar-
ter of billion dollars.
Chicago, Cleveland and San
Francisco districts showed in
creasing strength In latest re-
turns. Everyone of the twelve
federal reserve districts passed

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Gen.
Cadorna's army will make its
first determined stand against the
Austro-German invasion of Italy
on the Tagliamento river, official
Italian cables indicated today.
- Cadorna is now making a tre-
mend0us effort to save the third
Italian army, stationed at the
Gulf of Trieste's end of the Ital-
ian lines, the cables added.
Cadorna's decision to fall back
approximately 60 miles to the
Tagliamento river means that he
has found it necessary to sacrifice
a strip of territory-60 miles wide
at It's widest point--stretching As
miles along the Gulf of Trieste
and extending northward more
than 1870 miles.
There is no fear among Italian
officials here that the Tagliamen-
to line will not hold. Grave
doubts are voiced, however, as to
the morale Of the people back of
the lines.
Italy is no defeated" said one
high Italian official. She will
carry on her part of the war, IL
the civilian population can be suf-
ficiently quieted by rations that
must come from America in Amer
lea in American ships"
That Italy was betrayed by Ger
man spies is the firm belief of
Italian officials here. Otherwise
Mackensen could never have
known the weak point in the Ital-
ian lines.

! than the military results. The
Italians are outnumbered in men
more than four to one along prae-
tically the whole of the attacking
front.
The Germans massed their men
behind the lines and smuggled
guns into position at night. Their
bombardment opened with a ter
rifle fire from guns whose posi-
lions had not even previously
been suspected by the Italians. No
such artillery fire has been at
tanned by the Germans since Ver-
dun as that which was poured
over the Italian positions.
Outnumbered in guns and men,
Cadorna's troops from that time
on were victims of a great war
machine pursuing the same tactics
which the Germans so success
fully adopted In Rumania-and
war machine led by the master
who conducted that Rumanian
campaign-Gen. Won Mackensen.
How tremendous is the driving
power of this great machine is in
dicated in the fact that several
hundred square miles, won inch
by inch in Cadorna's great offens-
ives of last summer and during a
general campaign that lasted
three months is now in the enc
my's hands after a bare weeks
push. By enormous massing of
men and guns, the Germans SIM
ply smothered the Italians.
Cowardice Charged.
The Teutonic armies are now
less than 10 miles from Udine, the
Italian railroad center. What
Rome frankly declared was the
"Cowardice' of certain of it's
units in the second army permit
ted a Teutonic thanking move,
which swept the enemy wedge
thru to the Italian plains. Civil
dale, an Italian city, was taken.
1t was expected today that Ca
dorna would make every effort to
form a new defensive line on the
Tagliamento river, approximately
30 miles back from the line on
which the fighting was in prog
ress today. This river is the first
natural defense barrier in the
plains section.
France was relied upon to make
the first contribution to ItaIy's
needs. The French cabinet met
sunday evening for consideration
OF the problem.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-Secretary of War Baker has issued the follow ing statement:
 ''In one of the local morning news papers members of the party of of ficers just returned from France are credited with an expression of opin- ion to the effect that the German line on the western front in Europe is impregnable. l have succeeded in reaching all the members of the military mission and am assured that no one of them has expressed such an opinion either to newspa- per man or to anybody else, including his own associates on the mission. The alleged expression therefore is wholly without foundation.
 "The members of the military mis- sion were sent abroad to study tech nical questions. They were accorded the fullest opportunity by both the British and the French governments to complete their study, and were given opportunity to observe actual conditions at the front. The mission is unanimous in it's praise of the splendid morale of the allied forces of the western front, and while it shares the general realization of the gravity of this war, it returned with out any pessimistic opinion whatever as to the final outcome.
