HUNGARY'S WAR LOSSES.
Devastation at Home Even More Frightful Than Among Fight
 ing Men,

London, Oct. 10.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Hungary has suffered most severely of all the belligerent countries, in proportion to population, according to the Budapest newspaper Pesti Naplo. It draws this conclusion from the study of the vital statistics just issued by the Hungarian government. The paper says:
 '.The war has caused a destruction of man power at the front which can hardly he estimated, even approXi- mately, but the devastation caused at home seems to have been even more terrible than that among the fighting forces.
 "In Hungary the excess of deaths over births-in the civilian popula- tion alone-has grown to such a frightful extent that in February of the present year the deaths exceeded the births by more than 13O00'
 The writer, after pointing out that deaths among civilians during the third year of the war exceeded the births by 13O,0OO says that the Hun garian losses at the front in the same period were over 100000, according to the 800 casualty lists published. The number of men who are a. the front or who have done military service, is given as 3,000,000, or one-seventh of the entire population.

LIBERTY LOAN SPEEDS UP.
Three Billion Minimum Certain and
 Five Billion Looks Promising.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Better news came today from the Liberty loan camp subscriptions. Treasury officials announce tonight, that the amount will probably exceed 50,000,0Oo and may reach S1,500,00O,o00 or half the minimum quota set for the country at the beginning of the campaign. =:
 'sNo satisfactory official or unofficl- al reports were received today, but high hopes are entertained that the t, five billion mark may be achieved, / says the treasury announcement.
 With continuation of the present rate at which the entire country IS speeding up the three billion mlnlmum is growing much faster than it was last week, but it must grow faster still. In other words the delayed start is fine, but the finish must be better.

War Representative Says Eff9rts Made by Those Seeking to Nisre. present Patriotism of New
 National Army.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Pro- German agents in the United States, accordine to reports to the treasury department have directed their energies toward de feating the Liberty loan. Their or ganized propaganda has borne fruit from Minnesota to Texas, it is as- serted in scattered neignDornoods where weak efforts have ben made, not onpenly but by indirect methods to discourage subscriptions. The work of the proGerman agents, officials assert, has been carried on for more than two weeks. Some of the work CTS have had the temerity, so reports to the department indicate, to conduct their operations here in the National capital. Official recognition of the propaganda against the loan, was voic- ed today by Col. Ebbet M. Lord, rep resenting the war department at the war risk insurance conference, at which the details of the new sailors and soldiers insurance law are being explained to officers and enlisted men from the various cantonments.

AFTER MILLIONS OF MILES.
First American Hit After Months of Conveying Through War Zone.
(AsScOiated E

NASSCOldCIu TESS rY.J
 Although the torpedo boat destroy CTS have covered nearly million miles since the entrance of the United States In the European war, conveying ves- sels and chasing submarines, only re- gently has German submarine suc- ceeded in damaging one of them with a torpedo. The attack occurred some- where in the war zone, but though the destroyer was badly damaged, only one man, a gunner's mate was killed, and five others were wounded.
 The Germans are entirely in the possession of the island of Oesel at the head of the Gulf of Riga, and the Russian forces there are cut off from communication with Petrograd Small naval engagements continue in ad- jacent waters, and German aircraft are carrying out reconnaissance over the island, the Gulf of Riga, and over the mainland to the east.
 The Berlin war office announces that large quantities of booty were cap- tured at Oesle and that more than HOO prisoners were taken by the Germans Tuesday.
 On the mainland south of Riga there has been considerable activity on the part of the Germans, who at one point endeavored to throw pontoons over the Dvina river. The Russian artillery. however, resisted the bridging of the stream. The report, which if true, probably indicates that the Germans are preparing for big naval denmon- stration against the Russians from the Baltic to Malmo in southern Sweden, it says, large number of German warcraft was observed Monday and Tuesday, and that the belief prevails that they were endorsements from the German Baltic fleet.
 The expected renewal of the heavy offensive by the British and French troops in Belgium has not eventuated. Heavy bombardment and reconnoiter- ing encounters still prevail. There have been only bombardments on the southern fronts in France and in the Austro-Italian theatre, where, from theIsonzo front to the sea, the Aus trians and the Italians are heavily shelling each other.
 There has been a noticeable re-

 turn of storming operations by the British airmen in Belgium and across the line In Germany, and by the Ger mans against French positions. Brit ish aviators have dropped tons of bombs on Brugges, and also have loos- ed explosives on a factory near Saar- brucken, Germany. While the Ger mans have bombed at Nancy and in Dunkrik. At the former place killing ten persons and wounding forty.
 The Italian parliament has just con- vened and probably will discuss in ses. sion the riot which occurred in Turin in August, as a result of food short age and political discontent and also the general food prices throughout Italy. In the Turian riot, news of which has been received for the first time, large numbers of persons are said to have been killed, machine guns and bombs dropped from air planes being used to put down the dis | order.
