WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 49,.
diplomats, including
South Americans, today brought
pressure to bear on the u. s. gov
eminent to mediate in the deten-
tion of Swedish mail at the Brit

the British are allowed to retain
these mail sacks which were
seized at Halifax, a dangerous
precedent will be established.
Neutrals also fear the United
States may commander their yes

this country would pay for ships
SO seized, neutrals are very appre-
hensive of what they consider bel
ligerent inroads ON their rights.
The U. 8. wants the mail situa-

are trying to make arrangements
for the u. S. to use some of the

In return for this, Holland

Netherlands.
The government has made no
reply to this proposition.

JUST KAISER
BLUFF AGAIN


LONDON, Oct. 18.-Germany is
bluffing again, according to Lon
don's Interpretation today OF
Amsterdam reports Of German
wireless messages limiting at in
clusion of American waters in the
: submarine zone.
The belief of auth oritative lead
ers expressed to the United Press
was that If Germany actually, did
proclaim America within the zone
of her ruthlessness, she would be
unable effectually to carry out any
submarine war there. 1t was ad-
mitted she might send few sub
marines to the American coast and
at the most might plant a few
mines.
Even IL Germany should include
America in her zone of U-boat OPP
erations leading authorities were
q unit in declaring such step
could not in any way affect the
naval transport situation.
Satisfaction was expressed to-
day over the continued decrease
In the Germans submarine effec-
tiveness as shown in the weekly
statement of British shipping
losses. Only IL ships of more than
1000 tons were sunk, according
to admiralty announcement.

ALREADY AFFECTING
military STRATEGY

major strategy, 5000 miles away.
America is winning military vic
tories for the allies without firing
a shot and solely because Of ala
Gritty with which the citizen army
of the u. s. has gone into training.
The German censorship is con-
cealing from the German people
the extent of Americas war prep
arations, but the German general
staff shows every evidence OF
holding these preparationsin pro-
foand respect.
The jocular comments Of a few
German writer's on Americas oiti-
zen soldiers find no echo at Won
Hindenburg's headquarters. The
Russian revolutionary government
owes to Won Hindenburg's fear OF
Americas citizens in arms the i'm
munity Of its northern armies from
an overwhelming attack.

HALF OF
LOAN IS
RAISED

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 18.
The second Liberty loan is at
last hitting a stride that brings
success in sight. About half of
the $S,000,000,000 minimum
quota Is subscribed today.
Thru treasury department Off
cials renewed hope of achieving
the $5,0OO,000.000 mark, they
: again warned that the eight re-
naming working days must show
an average subscription of $435,-
100000 each.
The rise in teh daily average
from $94,000,00O to the $175,-
100000 mark in the last few days
has been due to the. great number
of small subscriptions. The Lib
erty loan has struck home to the
man of small means. Working
men, farmers, soldiers and small
wage earners are buying bonds.

Written for the United Press
Americas citizen soldiers in
their home training camps have
begun creating their first stra-
tegic diversion and are saving the
Russian northern army from
thanking operations about Riga
Bay.
II It were not for fear Of the

islands, in an attempt to catch

win a new Sedan victory.
A success of this Importance at
