WAR SUMMARY.

All the important infantry action last
night in the western war theater was
confined to the French front, where
attacks by the Germans in the Aisne
and Champagne sectors. as well as in
the Nerdun region. were repulsed by
General Petain's troops.
There is promise of speedy renewal
of the activity in Flanders, however.
Field Marshal Haig, for instance, sends
from British headquarters today one of
those laconic reports which have re-
Gently preceded the periodic attacks on
that front.
Nothing of special interest TO re-
port" has meant in several of these
cases that the British guns had opened
their terrific drum fire, preparatory to
an attack. The German high command
apparently is anticipating "a renewal of
the British drive. as the latest Berlin
statement in reporting the intense ar
tillery activity in Flanders said no in
fantry attacks had taken place up to
the present"
There has been spell of comparative
ly good weather in the area east of
Ypres, where the British steam roller
ittS dppiodcHtc tilt ptiIIidll iiiles. brlt-
ish aviators apparently have been able
to collect sufficient information to en-.
able their artillery TO pursue its work
with its usual precision and telling
effect. and the mud fields, presumably,
have dried out somewhat
Admission of possible significance was
contained in the German statement on
the Macedonian front situation received
late last night Several villages in the
Struma region on the right flank of
the allied lines northeast of Salonik
have been. "ceded" by the Bulgarians
to the British, Berlin announces There
has been notable active patrol work
by the entente armies i'm Macedonia
recently and it seems possible that
some aggressive use is finally to be
made of the huge force the allies have
had assembled there for many months.
Such a move might be made i'm an i
ticipation of Bulgarian attack on the |
Saloniki armies of the allies, to which |
Germany is reported to have been urg- |
ing King Ferdinand. Emperor vii. |
lam's visit to Sofia has been connected |
by one OF the German newspapers with !
this reported project Greece might |
now be expected to aid the entente in /
repelling such an attack or in pushing |
an offensive. a declaration OF war bv
Greece against Bulgaria, in fact. seems (
to be expected shortly by the central /
powers.

Washington, Oct. Il. All indications
today are that subscriptions to the sec.
ond Liberty loan have passed the one
billion dollar mark.
Official figures compiled last night
showed only 52S million reported to
Federal Reserve banks, but later semi
official returns and reports made to the
treasury department demonstrated that
the official figures were far too low.
In some quarters. it is thought that
the bond sales have passed 81 200 000.-
600 1t is probable. however. that
slightly more than $1,000 100000 is
nearer correct.
New York's unofficial estimates up to
date were s4l3.625 900. while the Chi
cago district reports s200,000.000. Esti-
mates of other districts are Philadel.
phia. 500. 900 900: Boston. sS5, 900, 900;

goo: Minneapolis, s16.000,000 Atlanta,
81 3 900 600: Dallas. s12,000,o00.
Assuming that these figures are ap-
correct, about S40O,OOOO 600
a day must be raised between now and
the close of the campaign, October

be reached.
