MAX PROBABLY WILL
 MAKE A SPEEDY REPLY
Washington Believes Chancellor Is in Difficult PositiOn-Attempt at Long Diplomatic. Discussion Will Be
 Promptly Squelched.

Washington, Ovt. 9.-An early re- sponse to President Wilson's note of inquiry to the German chancellor is expected by American officials. While realizing that an answer to the three pertinent questions put to the Prince of Baden will be difficult if the original proposal of the Ger man government were not sincere, officials believe that internal condi- tions in Germany and the tremendous exigencies of the military situation will force speedy action.
 So far as the hold of the govern ment upon the people is concerned, conditions in Austria are even far worse than those in Germany. This fact is expected to strongly affect the German government. which is re- ported to fear that Austria, or per haps Hungary acting independently, will follow Bulgaria in seeking an un- conditional peace. This would leave Germany to wage the war alone, for it is foregonc conclusion that Turkey already is lost to the central alliance.
 Maxim q Dilemma.
 The inquiry directed to Prince Max as to whether he is speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the empire, who have so far conducted the war, it is believed, will be em- bIrrassing. If the response is in the affirmative, Gel many's proposal will be rejected, as the president already has given notice that he will have no dealings with such authorities. The powerful Socialist elements in the Reichstag also are expected to resent any such statement by the chancellor as directly in conflict with the Reichstag resolution of July 1917, on which the very recent pledges to make the cabinet repre- sentative body, under which the Socialists were induced to take part in the government.
 But if Prince Max attempts to re- pudiate the military party he un- doubtcdly will bring a demand from that still powerful organization for his retirement and the adoption of 8; reactionary policy.
 Evasiye Answer Expected. The general belief here is that the chancellor will endeavor to find a middle course end continue himself in his reply to halfway admissions hoping thus to begin a long diplo- matic discussion which might develop differences between the entente al- lies and America as to war aims, and to lower the morale of the armies opposed to the c-ntral powers
 Any such move is certain to fail and in the meantime the German armies in the West are being sub jected to increasingly hard blows from Marshal FOch's foroes-blows

Washington. Oct .-SlOw progre;, C; .ke Fourth Lib a...y loan toward it's s$ coo 100000 goal is a matter ci seri- ous concern, the Treasury Department today admitted With the three weeks subscription period half gone, the loan is only 30 per cent subscribed The total reported to the treasury up to tonight is s1791, ,463 200

 Double the third has been adopt ed as a slogan in many districts to stimulate subscribers to do twice as much as they did in the last loan.
 St. Louis district managers report ed today that influenza is spreading and affecting many workers. Indiana counties in this district still lead all others with 92 per cent of their quota subscribed.

State And County Health AuthOri- ties to Stamp Out Spanish Influenza by Rigid
 Quarantine.

Immediately after receiving the or der from the State Health Board We'd nesday requiring that all schools, churches, picture shows, or gatherings of aIny kind be closed until further or decs, Dr. P. H. Phillips, County Health Officer, issued an order requiring the local school to close as well as the picture show ana churches, or any other gathering in the communities in- fected with the Spanish Influenza or in the homes. Late reports indicate that the epidemic is sweeping the en- tire nation and seriously interfering with the mobolization o1 troops.
 There are a large number of cases in Ashdown, and some of the cases are very bad. It is also reported that the epidemic has invaded various other sections of the county. It will be not ed from the order that going and con- ing, either on the trains or otherwise, is not prohibited, but the gathering ot crowds is especially prohibited. Physicians stste that the influenza is very similar to the old fashioned grippe and it's symptoms and effect are very much the same.
 The order of the National and State Boards, concurred in by Dr. P. H. Phil lips, Health Officer for Little River County, follows:
 The Order.
 Whereas, very severe epidemic of In .luenzaI is sweeping rapidly over the entire country, and
 Whereas, it is interfering with the selective draft and mobolization of troops and
 Whereas, the Surgeon General of the U. s. Public Health Service has sent the following telegram to all State Health Officers:

 Therefore, by virtue of the authori- ty vested in the Arkansas State Board of Health under sections and 6, Act 96, 1913, the following regulations are promulgated and declared to be i'm mediately effective:
