HAS NO HOPE OF
CRUSHING ALLIES
PROGRESSIVE MEMBER OF GER
MAN RElCHSTAG SEES HAND
WRITING ON THE WALL.
Admits That America Cannot Be
Forced to Make Peace and Express
es Doubt as to Outcome of Sub
marine Campaign.

Amsterdam.-Geo Goethein, pro-
gressive member of the reichstag, is
quoted in a Berlin dispatch as having
said at meeting of the central com
mittee of this party that although the
military situation was satisfactory
there was no hope of crushing Ger
manys enemies on land. As for the
submarine campaign, seven million
tons of shipping had been sunk, he
asserted, but no disposition toward
peace on the part of England was dis
cernible A rationing system for food
stuffs had not been even introduced,
and no one was able to say when the
U-boat would MALE England more In
clined for peace.
america cannot be forced to make
peace" Herr Goethein continued. 1--WE
cannot force, America to pay a war in
demnity. There remains only Eng
land But should we, in order to OBJ
tain an indemnity of 10000 100000
marks, sacrifice 50,000,000,000 and an
other half million mem?
Germany's, allies, Herr Goethein con-
tinued were not inclined to continue
the war for pan-German plans of con-
quest, but were striving for peace by
understanding and Cancellation, while
the pan-German clamor for anneXa-
lions was finding a bad reception
among them. He asserted that the
long working hours and insufficient
feeding at home increased the desire
for peace among the workers and that
should be continued for aims of con-
quest

tevideo-Uruguay' break with
Germany came to pass early Sunday

lie and press throughout the republic.
The measure adopted by the joint
session of the senate and house au-
thorizes President Viera of uruguay :
Ito break diplomatic and COM
mercial relations with the German en-
pire.
2@To adopt measures to facilitate
navigation, in cooperation with the
friendly nations, and measures to as
sure importation and expectation.
The president acted promptly on
the first point and took immediate
a speech to congress he made it clear
that Uruguay enters the war on the
side of the United States not because
of any particular grievance, but to
align itself with the cause of liberty
and justice.
Passports were issued on Sunday to
the German diplomatic and consular
officials. Uruguay gives guarantees
for their personal safety until they
are out of the country. At the same
time cable orders were dispatched to
Berlin ordering all Uruguayan Off
Gals in Germany to leave for home
Immediately.

expresses the assumption that the
same guarantees given German Off
Gals in Uruguay will be given to Uru-

IS MOST VEN0MOUS SNAKE
Echis carinata of India, Found in
Nearly Every Part of Peninsula,
Is Death Itself.

The most venomous of snakes Is
held to be the Echis carinata of India.
1t is about IS inches long and of a gray
color. The creature is death itself,
and carries in its head the secret of
destroying life with the concentrated
agony of all the poisons.
This snake is tolerably common In
India, being found in nearly every part
of the peninsula.
Fortunately, however, for man, it is
not, like the cobra, house-frequenting
snake, for its aggressive habits would
make it indefinitely more fatal to life
than its dreaded relative.
This king of the asps does not turn
to escape from man as the cobra WILL
or flash into concealment like the ko-
riat, but keeps its path against it's hui
man assailant, and pitting its 49,
inches of length against its enemy's
bulk, challenges and provokes con-
flict.
A stroke with a whip will cut it in
two, or a clod of earth disable it; but
such is its malignity that it will In
wife attack by every device at its COM
mand, stalking its own life on the mere
chance of its adversary coming within
the little circle of its power. At most.
the radius of this circle is II inches.
Within it, at any event, lies certain
death, and, on. the bare hope of hand
or foot trespassing within its reach,
the Echis throws its body into fig
ure-of-eight coil. Then 1t attracts at
tention by rubbing its loops together,
which, from the roughness of the
scales, make rustling, kissing sound,
attack,

COALITION ONLY HOPE.
kerensky Pleads for Union of Forces
to Save Russia.

Petrograd.-When a committee from
the Democratic congress visited Pre-
mier Kerensky on Saturday he adj
dressed the committeeman as fol-
lows:
The growth of anarchy, the condi-
ton of political ruin which confronts
the country, the eXtrayagant demands
of various groups and the strivings in
certain quarters TO restore the former
regime, force il recognition of the ne
cessity of union and coalition. Only
the union of the bourgeois and demo-
cratic elements can save the country"
Minister of Foreign Affairs Terest-
chenko pleaded for a reconstruction of
the nations forces so that "the dele
gates who will participate in the Paris
conference October 16 may point out
10 the allies that our fighting force
has been renewed and that our boast
of strength is no myth"

100000 SUBS ORDERS
Third Loan Not To Be Put Out In
January, As Reported-DIstInet
Triumph For People, Says
McAdoo.

Washington.-Ame responded
to the call for second Liberty war
loan by subscribing $4,617,532, 800 an
oversubscription by 81 per cent. of the
$3,000,000,0O0 asked, and only $685.
100000 less than the 100000 maxi
mum fixed by the Treasury. Tabu-
lations just completed showed that
every Federal Reserve district exceed
ed its quota, and 100000 persons
subscribed.
Half of the oversubscribed sum will
be accepted, making the actual total
of bonds to be issued S3,808,766,150.
Ninety-nine per cent. of the subscrib-
ers will receive the amount for which
they bargained, all subscriptions for
$4,000 or less being allotted in full,
and those above that amount being
pared down in varying proportions,
ranging from 80 per cent. allowance
on subscriptions between $4,000 and
100000 to 40 per cent. for the largest
single subscription of $50,000,OOO.
"The success of the second Liberty
Loan, like that of the first, is a dis
tinct triumph for the people of the
United States" said Secretary Nc
Adoo. ut not only demonstrated their
ability, patriotism and resources, but
augurs the certain success of any fu-
ture loans that may be offered by
The Government"
The Secretary added denial of re-
ports that the third loan would be soil
cited in January 1913
In view of the large oversubscrip-
tion of the second Liberty Loan" he
said, II am glad to state that this will
not be necessary"
1t has been generally understood
that the third loan would be sought
probably in late February or early
March next year.
Although only 1 per cent. of the
number of subscriptions was for sums
above $4,000, s2,129, 100000, or nearly
half the big aggregate, was made up
by the larger sums More than three
quarters of billion dollars were sub
scribed in individual amounts of more
than $1,000,000.
Subscriptions to the First Liberty
Loan, which closed June Is, were 49,
35,000,000, so per cent. over-sub-
scription of the 100000 offered and
allowed There were more than A.
100000 subscribers and allotments
were made in full on subscriptions of
$4,000 and less.
On the Second Liberty Loan pay
ment of 2 per cent. of the subscrip-
ton amount was required with the ap-
plications and thousands of purchasers
of the smaller bonds, particularly of
$50 and 500 denominations, paid cash
in full. From these payments $751;
100000 already has been received by

Military Committee Causes Great
satIsfaction-Troops Are

Italian Army HeadQuarters.-The
conference of British, French and
Italian representatives has resulted in
the creation of a permanent inter-
allied military committee. New lead
ership for the Italian Army has been
provided.
General Cadorna, who has been in
supreme command of the Italian Army
since the beginning of the war, has
been given a place on the new COM
mittee.
New heads of the Italian Army have
been named General Diaz has been
appointed first in command, with Gen
eral Badoglio second and General
Grandma third.
General Foch, chief of staff of the
French War Ministry, and General
Wilson, subchief of the British General
Staff, will serve on the inter-allied
committee with General Cadorna.
Among military officers the decision
of the Allies to create a permanent
military committee has caused great
satisfaction. 1t is accepted as evident
that the Allies have awakened to the
necessity for the closest union Of the
whole length of the Western front for
the political and military conduct of
the war;.
General Diaz is rated as one of the
ablest Italian military leaders. For
years he was connected with the gen.
eral staff.
General Badoglio is Northerner.
In the war he has been in command
of a brigade of Bersaglieri, whose
heroic deeds have done much to de-
crease the gravity of the disaster.
General Grandma was minister of
War in the cabinet of Premier Boselli.
He was one of the leading generals of
the second army.
