Michaelis and
Czernin Are Split
On Peace Issue

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Ths "Deutsche
Taeeszeitung." Of Berlin, as quoted in
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Amsterdam. says that Count Czernin,
Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minister, re-
Gently requested the German Chancel-
lor, DR.. Mchaelis. to state Germany's
peace terms, urging that Germany make
concessions in the West. Count Ger
min received vague reply. whereupon
he stated that he could no longer nege-
tiate with DR.. Michaelis. inasmuch as
the Chancellor made vague statements
when clearness and frankness were i'm
peratively necessary.
These statements Of the "Tageszei-
tung" are not denied, the dispatch says,
and have made great sensation. being
particularly illustrative OF the fervent
desire for peace on the part Of Austria.
Several Vienna papers express the
opinion that the recent statements Of
Lloyd George. Asquith and Ribot will
cause cessation Of any peace action
on the part of the Central Powers.
The papers declare that by refusing
tho peace proposals Of the Central
Powers those circumstances have
arisen which Count Czernin, the Aus
tro-Hungarian Foreign Minister. has.
mentioned as tustify,ng revision OF
the Central Powers war aims.

Officials Doubt if Five Billion
VIII Be Attained-New
York District Makes Strong
Squirt, but Must Rcdouble
Effort

While the New York Federal Reserve
District yesterday exceeded for the first
time its original daily allotment of
S62. .5OO,OOO by subscribing SS4,ooO,ooo
to the Second Liberty Loan, the total
contributions, not only in the New York
district, but throughout the country,
are so far behind schedule that Treas
ury officials last night expressed doubt
that the $4,000, 900 900 hoped for could
be attained by the end Of the campaign.
With fourteen working days gone and
only ten more TO come, Liberty bond
sales have only just reached the 81 ,OOO'-
O0O. 900 mark. according TO the esti-
mates of officials. This means the
country must subscribe within ten days
four times as much as it has gwen
SINCE the campaign opened the first OF
the month.
While the New York districts gain is
encouraging, the campaign here was be-
hind 10 such an extent u2 20 last night
that in order TO assure the maximum
total slOs 900 900 was nesded every day.
The total for fourteen Gays is only
s413. 900 900, necessitating more than
double the amount of daily subscrip-
tions from now TO October q if the
districts allotment Of $500, 100000 is
TO be taken

The ready response TO the first
Liberty Loan call clearly indicated
the feeling and the desire on the part
Of our people to aid their govern
ment and assist the righteous cause
TO which our nation is committed.
Now, therefore, I, Charles S. Whit
man, Governor, do call the attention
of the people to the urgency of the

astic support of the government and
of our soldiers and sailors who stand
ready to defend with their lives the
cause of civilization and humanity.

Naval Officers Think
U.Boats Could Make
War on This Coast
tstAG Correspndencel

WASHINGTON, Oct. l6-Officials in
Washington would not talk tonight on
the report that Germany was about to
declare the American and Cuban coasts
war zone. No official information
has been received here by either the
State or Navy departments, and in the
absence of official news no one would
make any comments. IL was at first
ment had been brought back by Ad-
miral Mayo when he returned from
England last week, and that this was
the reason why the submarine question
was bearing with such added weight on
the councils of the Navy Department.
This was authoritatiyely denied, how
ever.
Naval officers here have long held il
possible for the German submarines 70
make war on this coast, though IL has
not been believed that they could es-
tablish an effective war zone on ac-
count OF the distance from their bases.
Considering the latest known improve
ments in cruising submarines. Il is not
believed that they could keep the sea
off this coast more than week at the
most, and that IL not long enough for
an effective blockade.
II the report should receive any
measure of veriication one OF the frst
steps taken by the government would
be thorough search o. the Atlantic
seaboard and West Indian islands for
German bases. II has been reported
several times that U-boat bases existed
both on the New England coast and in
the West indies.

Total Sales of Liberty
Bonds Now Believed to
Touch 900, 900, 900

WASHINGTON, Oct. l6.-Liberty
bond sales were believed by Treasury
officials tonight TO have just reached
the $1,000. 600, 900 mark, result which
has led them TO wonder if the s5,0O0,-
900 900 hoped for could be attained in
the final days of the campaign.
COMMITTEES in almost very part Of
the country still wire encouragingly
that they can make their maximum
totals" says a statement given out to-
night By the Publicity Bureau of the
Liberty Loan at the Treasury De-
partment. Possibly they can. but
either they are corcealing their actual
sales which is not believed to be the
case-or there must Re most unex-
pected spurt in the offing.
Certainly, there Is little about the
sales thus far 10 warrant great con-
fdence that the $1,000, ,O0O,O 900 mark will
be reached"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-10-17

In the above dispatch the phrase "re-
ceived By the Admiralty by wireless
press probably means that the news
was intercepted In the air by the Brit
ish Admiralty. This Is & regular prac-
tice, as Germany knows. A wireless
message addressed by Germany 10 any
where in the outer world is liable to
be received also by the British. Tho
L-ndon dispatch does not indicate
whether the wireless message in this
case was in code or open, nor TO whom
il was addressed. There is room for
much speculation Did Germany wish
to put everybody on notice that she in
tends to declare the coasts Of North
America war zones7 If so, why7 Il Is
possible, of course, that the news was
meant only for neutrals.
In any case, It is very strange news
It would be logically supposed that In
Germany's view the American coasts
were war zones from the moment war
was declared by the United States. But
the illogical fact Is that Germany never
has declared war against the United
States. A German dialectician might
prove that, although the United States
is at war with Germany, Germany is
not at war with the United States.
The obvious suggestion is that sub
marine operations on this side OF the
Atlantic are contemplated or threat
cned.
There have been rumors of the pres
ence Of hostile U-boats on this side,
but conclusive evidence has been lack
ing in every instance. The power Of
the U-boat in the last few months has
been increasing. Ii is much greater
now than when the U-j3 made her the
atrical raid upon neutral ships OF Nam

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Swedish
diplomatic correspondence, the means
by which the traceless sinking advice
was sent by Germany's Argentine rep
resentative to Berlin, has been inter
rupted again. Three mail pouches and
two boxes sent by the Swedish govern
ment to its legation in the United
States are reposing In the British EN-
bassy. They were dispatched from
Chrstiania before Secretary Lansing
of the State Department disclosed what
he knew concerning the uses TO which
similar pouches had been put in Buenos
Ayres.
Great Britain AYERS that the docu-
ments will remain in her custody until
Sweden consents 10 omen the boxes and
pouches either in the presence of Brit
ish representative or an American rep
resentative. The British Embassy does
not ask that the envelopes encasing
correspondence be opened. II does in
sist that the cases and pouches be
opened in proof of the Swedish Min
ister's assertion that the contents are
diplomatic in character. The British
Embassy suggests only that it would
be interesting TO make sure OF that by
examining the addresses on the enyel-
Opes.
