McAD0o APPEALS
TO ALL AMERICANS

Washington, D. c., Oct. 49,
Subscriptions reported and esti-
mated up to noon Thursday
amount to $4,000, ,ooo,0 900, leaving
at least $4,000, 100000 to complete
the fourth Liberty loan," said Sec
retary McAdoo. "only two days
are left within which to raise this
vast sum. No country on earth
but America could raise so vast a
sum in so short time.
Americans can do it and must
do it. The destinies of the world
and the hopes of civilization are
centered upon America. We shall
fail in everything we have fought
for and hope to gain in this war
if the fourth Liberty loan is de-
feated.
"Let every true American citizen
to-day examine himself under the
white light of patriotism and say
whether or not he has done his ut
most in this emergency. The high
est obligations of duty and pa
triotism command every true
American to go Immediately to his
bank or to his Liberty bond com
mittee and subscribe to the limit
of his ability to the fourth Liberty
bonds.
"Don't delay. Don't wait to be
urged. Be as quick to do your part
in the fourth Liberty loan battle
as our soldiers in France are quick
to obey the orders to charge the
enemy. Buy Liberty bonds on the
installment plan if you cannot buy
them for cash. Every patriotic
bank viii help you. If every pa
triotic citizen will do his duty to-
day victory for the fourth Liberty
loan is certain.
"The continuation of the vic
tories of your armies in Europe,
the certain defeat of our enemies
and the glorious triumph of the
cause of Liberty depend upon what
the American people do in the re-
naming two Gays Of the fourth

proposal to submit the Balkanie prob
lem to arbitration, the monarchy proved
that it wished to begin the war.
Count Karolyi said Austria's foreign
policy during the war has been still
worse than that which prevailed before
hostilities began and asserted that there
were "numberless occasions when peace
might have been concluded"
when we knew that Germany would
not give in and that the whole world
had arisen against the policy of Ger
many, which had become hateful to all
nations" he continued, "we might have
made peace. Our fidelity to the alliance
has limits"
Count Karolyi was ruthless in his
criticism of submarine warfare and said
the main mistake of the central powers
was in Understanding America. He
closed by expressing desire for the Gre
alton of an autoaomous Hungary and re-
questing the abolition of the common
institution of the monarchy.

in replying, justified the conduct of the
government, said it had created in Ger.

CONTINUAL BREAKDOWN
OF GERMAN DEFENSES
tBv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The German withdrawal from
western Belgium and the coastal
region shows no signs of halting.
The allied forces are pressing rap
idly after the retiring enemy and
additional cities and towns have
been occupied.
From Lille southwark, the Ger
man retirement is not so rapid, but
the British maintain strong pres
sure all along the line to east of
Cambria. Farther south the enemy
is retiring from the angle between
the 0ise and the Serre.
The German retirement between
the 0ise and the Serre was made
necessary because the enemy was
in a pocket, the sides of which
were being pressed in by the
French. The French are advancing
northeastward from the junction
of the two rivers and have taken
Anguilcourt, two miles east of the
junction and north of the Serre.
Northwest of the Argonne for
est, General Gomaud is battling
forward against stubborn resist
ance and the fighting front west of
Grand Pre- has been extended to
Vouziers. In the neighborhood of
Vouziers the French have carried
out an important stroke by cross
ing the Aisne river. Evidently the
French aim to advance northeast
from Vouziers and outhank the
Germans in the Boult forest. This
would be OF great assistance to the
American advance east of the for
est.

QUARANTINE STILL ON
Although the Epidemic in Barre Appears
Nearly at End.


Only two grip and pneumonia victims
have been reported in the past "a hours
and in reiterating their opinion that the
situation is steadily clearing, the health
authorities call attention to the fact that
the death toll to-day was the smallest in
three weeks. There are a number of pa
tients who are very i'll, and the physi-
clans are using the same heroic methods
that obtained during the height of the
epidemic to restore those of their pa
tients who are critically i'll, but the big
majority of the cases are convalescent.
Moreover, the doctors encounter on every
hand confrmatory evidence of the fact
that later cases of the influenza have
been very mild New cases are almost
negligible in number.
Uneasy comments over the prospect of
removing the quarantine established
three weeks ago are heard on the street,
but thus far the board of health has not
indicated a purpose to remove the ban
on public gatherings this week. Unless
there is an llth-hour change in present
plans, churches will remain closed sun
day, and the mobilization of students in
the public schools will be deferred until a
week from Monday, The state board of
health is keeping in close touch with the
local situation, and none of the decisions
which are TO be reached by the local
board of health will be made without a
prior consultation with members of the
state board, Influenza as it has devel-
oped as pandemic throughout the coun-
try is known to recur very easily, and
the authorities, mindful of its tragic eff
feet in Barre, are not anxious to give it
another chance.
Deaths reported since yesterday are:
Robert Kinkead of Lawrence, Mass, at 3
Elmore street; Ricardo Alonzo of Quar-
ry street.
