With half of the campaign gone, treas ury officials estimated tonight that not more than $500, O0o had been subscribed and they considered this estimate lo- eral. It has become apparent to officials that new and tremendous impetus must be given to the campaign if the subscription Is to approximate the S5,- 00o.000,000 hoped for.
 The whole weight of the administration is to be thrown into the balance for the rest of the campaign and drive of dimensions unapproached heretofore is to be made during the two weeks that re- main before the closing of the subscrip- ton books.
 A new factor. calculated to hearten the host of workers and to galvanize lhe country into a realization that the most strenuous efforts must be made if the big drive is to be consumrliated successfully

Amsterdam, October 13.--Ihe Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, a semi official organ, definitely an nounces the resignation of Vice Admiral Von Capelle as minister of marine.

 Copenhagen, October 13. The German Reicllstag ad- .iourned, leaving behind 1t a latent crisis which political ob- servers believe will lead sooner or later to the retirement of Dr. Michaelis-the chancellor without a following. Although other parties are less actively in opposition to Dr. Michaelis. than the socialists, not a voice has been raised against the Vorwaert's $ slogan, Michaells must go.''
 Recent arrivals from Berlin report that the current gossip there, is that Michaelis can scarcely last month. The chanceliors blunder in springinr the disclosures of the alleged naval plot, against which. according to the National Zeitung, he was strongly ad- yised, and his failure to make head way against the Reichstag majority appear to have lost him the conser vative and pan-German support.
 Other parties. including even the na- tionalists, are united in open condemna- ton of his actions concerning the na- val plot. It is charged that the chan- celor showed not only a lamentable lack of political acumen. but his act also resulted in the rehabilitation of the radt- cal socialists to a considerable degree.

 of Vice Admiral von Capelle as minister of marine has not yet been submitted. ai- though it has been decided upon. (F-I- day nights announcement of the minis- ter's resignation came through Amster- dam. credited to the Frankfurter zei-

AS in 1879 let us plan our feast

a thankful people, celebrate the har-

sense sacrificial offering, so we
would do without many things be-

The American artillery fire has
