Fourth Liberty Loan Exceeds
All Preuions Subs cnphons
By Carter County People

Although throughout the progress
of the campaign it was always
doubtful whether the quota would
be reached, the people of Carter
County made larger subscription
to the Fourth Liberty Loan than
had been made in any previous cam
paign. Late last night total sub
Scriptions footed $l,24S,750 and odds
and ends which will come in today
and tomorrow are expected to bring
the total up to perhaps Sl.I5,000.
The county quota was $l,01 900 and
the excess to the close OF business
yesterday was Sl6o,75O.
The Oklahoma, New Mexico &

GERMAN MONEY IS
FALLING IN VALUE
MOVEMENT OF THE MARK
MAY INDICATE COMING
EXPLOSION AT HOME
lBv The Associated Press.l

London. Oct. 10, British Wire
less Service Financial circles in
London have been much interested
in the movement of the German
mark in foreign countries, and note
that since President Wilson's latest
reply German exchange has depre-
ciated heavily.
Early in the month the mark was
being bought in countries bordering
on Germany and writer in the
Morning Post thinks this was due
to the prospect of a fairly easy peace
for Germany and OF the rapid re-
coyery OF German industry.
In the Scandinavian countries the
fall of the mark on Thursday ranged
from eight to fifteen per cent, the
weakness being most marked in
Sweden which is particularly well
informed regarding actual condi
tions in the central empires. The
writer in the Morning Post also
says:
The collapse in German credit in
dicated in exchange figures may be
the result Of several factors acting
together or independently. A fnan-
cial panic within the country might
be the immediate cause of a real
revolutionary movement OF a char
acter threatening the total military
collapse of Germany. 1t is even
conceivable that a belief in the pro-
longation OF the war, with conse-
quent invasion of Germany, might
be at the bottom of this sudden
weakening of Germany's credit in
the eyes of her neutral neighbors.
(Which, if any. factor is to be
held responsible it is impossible to
say. but the movement is certainly
indicativ OF Germany's increasing
weakness.

How far the total subscription
went above the six billion dollar
goal. treasury officials would not at
tempt to estimate tonight. 1t all
depands, they said, on whether big
financial interests at the last mo-
ment file the big lump sum subscrip-
tions expected OF them, and whether
the number OF smaller subscriptions
by individuals is found to meet eX-
pectationS.
New subscriptions entered dur
ing the last day, and those made eff
fective by payment OF the 10 per
cent installment, probably will
amount to a billion and a half dol
lars for the entire nation, ii was
said. Before business opened this
morning $4,599zl9,450 had been
reported to federal reserve banks.
For the next five days banks in
every city and town in the United
States will be busy adding up sub
scriptions. Reports and payments
then must be made to Federal Re
serve banks, which are expected to
take at least five days more to re-
port to the treasury.
Indications are that the number
of individual subscribers will far
exceed 20000000 and break all rec
ords for distribution of war bonds

so has made clearer the conditions
which the central powers must meet
to end the war,
In a note written yesterday and
made public today the president, IN
effect, says. there can be no talk OF
peace with the Austro-Hungarlan
government except upon the basis
OF complete liberty for Czecho-S -Slo-
vaks and other subject nationahties
as free members OF the family OF ma
tons. He refuses to entertain the
Austro Hungarian suggestion TOR
this reason, without discussing the
military questions dealt with in the
reply to Germany.
The Vienna government asked
for negotiations on the basis OF the
previous agreement of peace, men
tioning the speech of January 3
last. in which the president said the
peoples of Austro-Hungary should
be accorded the freest opportunity
for autonomous development. The
reply today says this is impossible;
that the Czecho-Slovak national
council has been recognized as a
de facto belligerent government, the
Justice of the nationalistic aspira-
tions of the Jugo-Slavs has been rec
ognizeds and mere autonomy no
longer can be accepted.
Clears Up Controversy
This declaration, which may be
far reaching in its effect upon Aus
tro- Hungary. where long enslaved
peoples. apparently, are nearly ready
to sweep away the hated dual mon
archy and the Hapsbdrg dynasty,
clears up what some critics OF the
presidents policy have pointed to as
a source of endless controversy on
his program OF peace. 1t comes one
day after the proclamation OF Em'
peror Charles "federalizing" the
states in a desperate attempt to save
his government at home and at the
same time prepare the way for
peace.

might Report

Y
Washington, Oct. 19,-Beyond
press dispatches from Switzerland,
saying the new German note would
be despatched tonight to the state
department, there is no intlmatlon
whatever OF the time or nature OF
the German response to the presl-
dent. Officials heard without COM
ment OF the report that Germany
would accept President Wilson's
conditions generally with reser-
vation that submarine warfare must
continue to the end of the war.
About the state department this was
regarded as an indication that the
Berlin government without con-
cerning the surrender that it has
been told must be made, would seek
to continue diplomatic discussions
with the hope OF eventually weaken
ing the position of her enemy and
winning the much desired negotiat-
ed peace.
Hun Can't Evade Issue.
1t was reiterated that only com
plete acceptance will satisfy the
United States and the allies and that
an effort by the Germans to evade
the issue probably would cause the
president to promptly refuse to con-
tinue the correspondence.
In the report that the note would
contain a defense OF submarine war
fare as a retaliatory measure. the
prospect was seen of another at
tempt to reopen the whole ques-
tion-the question which brought
the United States into the war. Such
an attempt would be regarded here
simply as another evidence OF the
failure of the Germans to under
stand or acknowledge the basis of
the American objection to their
kind of warfare.

Yesterday it fell six inches, after having risen that number the day previous. It now stands ten and one-half feet on the local gauge. The river is not expect ed to go higher than twelve feet as a result of the water to be released by the thawing of ice and snow now on the ground.

Special to the Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 4.-The campaign for the U. s. shipyard volunteers is being backed by all the departments in Washington, as the most vital now being considered by the country. Or ders have already been received by all representatives of the Food Ad- ministration and Navy League Chap ters to get behind the campaign for enrolment of skilled mechanics and artisans for this service.
 Gov. Brough will issue proclaim ation requesting all citizens to coop crate in the campaign. The enroll ment is in charge of w. G. Sprague, deputy state labor commissioner, to whom the cards should be sent.
 The U. s. shipping board says: "Without this great industrial army ready to take it's place as the need for labor ever grows more urgent, we cannot carry out the ship-building program on which hangs the fate of our army in France and of our allies the world over. To win the war our first need is ships, and to build the ships our first need is earnest skilled labor. The men will be drawn into the service in such fashion as to dis turb manufacturing conditions throughout the country as little as possible.
 "The Red Cross cannot get their supplies to Europe without tonnage. The sacrifices brought about by the Food Administration are nullified un- less supplies can go abroad. Gar field, Hoover and the Red Cross, the Navy, the War Department-every branch of the government is waiting for shipping, shipping is waiting for labor, the best kind of men who will give full days work for full days pay. The yards could be filled with slackers easily, but they are not the men to do the work"
 Arkansas is called upon for 2,000, to enroll and hold themselves in read |iness for service when called upon. The yards are not yet ready to receive them.

TO CONSERVE
 COAL SUPPLY
Arkansas Fuel Administration to En- courage General Use of Wood
 for Fuel.
Special to Independent

Special to Independent
 Little Rock, Feb. 4.-The U. s. Fuel Administration for Arkansas is en- listing the services of the extension division of the state university, as well as other agencies, in it's campaign for more general use of wood as fuel, thereby conserving the use of coal. The administration, MT. Couch, in a letter to Director Lasseter, says:
 Appeals were made for coal from many counties and communities where timber abounded in unlimited quanti- ties, and the fuel administrator was urged to rush coal to them over the railroad lines, battling with snow blockades and congested traffic to the exclusion of all other freight com modities, making it necessary to close down important industries to afford them relief.
 "This is an experience which should awaken the people to the responsible ity and imperative necessity of util- izing the timber right at their very doors.
