AUSTRIAN APPEAL
 LOGICAL SEQUAL IF
 WILSON $ REJECTION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-An Aus trian appeal for an armistice for dis cussion of peace on President Wilson's own terms is regarded here as the loGi- cal sequel of the presidents recent summary rejection of the proposal that hostilities be suspended for secret and non- binding peace discussions.
 What the American governments answer to such an appeal will be is in dicated by the statement authorized when the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister complained that his accept ance of President Wilson's principles 1 had not been noticed-that peace could not be talked of upon any terms so long as Germany and Austria occupied a single foot of conquered territory. Officials here will be surprised neither by the Austrian armistice plea, which Berne press dispatches through Paris tonight say Is coming, nor by similar move by Germany herself, which the new chancellor Prince Maxi milan of Baden. is said to have pro- posed or to be about to propose in the reichstag There is no disposition to l believe. however. that an early end of the war is in sight in spite of the fact ! that the Germans are known to be des- perately anxious to halt, by diplomacy, 1 the steady advance of their enemies to- ward the German border.
 Plan Regarded Transparent
 The proposal to send plenipoten- tiaries to a neutral place to discuss questions of a league for international arbitration and disarmament is re- garded as a transparent effort to an ticipate the peace council and prob ably would not be entertained for a moment for that reason. The same objection lies against discussion of the i Liberalization of Austria the right of | self Cetermination of the Russian bor- der states, restitution and indemnifi- cation of Belgium. autonomy for AL sace Lorraine and the return of the German colonies. It is not doubted that the reference to Belgium attribu- ted to Maximilian involves payment of an indemnity by joint contribution of all powers, an idea already scornfully rejected by the entente and autonomy for Alsace- Lorraine in the German scheme probably means a plebescite
 which would not return these prov inces to France, now that nearly all the adult. male, French population has been driven out

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Ofnclal re- ports of Liberty loan subscriptions gathered by banks up to the close of business last night and compiled late today by the treasury department, showed total of S1 7,611, $50. "While the actual sales through all agencies probably is somewhat in eX cess of this figure" said the headquar- ters review, "the results obtained in the drive thus far are not highly en- couraging. The campaign now has gone through seven working days and only twelve more working days remain. Approximately 5000, 100000 in sub scriptions still must be raised if the total amount asked by Secretary Nc Adoo is obtained. The daily average which must be achieved between now and October 19, in order to put the loan over the top, is about s4l6,OOO,OOO.
 Latest official reports show that only two districts, St. Louis and Boston, are maintaining the pace that must be set if the loan is to be subscribed.
 How the Billion is Divided
 Following are the reports by dis tricts:
 St. Louis, s12S,219,7OO. 47.3; Boston, s167,477,750, 33.5; Minneapolis, $65, 977 $50, S1.4; San Francisco, $9S,3S5,- 600. 23.2; Chicago, $17S,297,750, 20.4; Dallas. $19,074,O50, 1S.O New York, s266 O9S, 900, 14.7; Richmond, s40,532,- 100 144; Cleveland, s76.326,700, 127; Philadelphia, s57, ,4OS, 500, 11.4; Atlanta, $9,54S45O, 50; Kansas City (no re- port)
 Millions from Wealthy Men The opening of New York's drive among wealthy men and organizations today resulted in a subscription of s6,- 900, 900 from the John Hancock Life h. surance company, an additional $1,000,- 900 from John D. Rockefeller. $1,400,- 900 from the International Nickel con- pany and s1,000,000 each from the Delaware & Lackawanna railroad and the Lehigh Coal Sale company.
 In the New England district, 146 communities have gone over the top.
 Rivalry has developed between the central western railroad operating re- zion, where 46 per cent of the employees had subscribed S13,554,000 up to Octo- Der 4, and the northwestern region, where S136, 6,74S, 900 had been subscribed
 On three railroads in the northwest ern region 100 per cent of the employees have bought bonds. Employees of the Allegheny operating region have sub scribed for an aggregate of s7,S30, ,000
 Today is Liberty Loan Sunday
 Tomorrow is Liberty loan Sunday and at virtually every church service throughout the United States congre- gations will be urged to buy bonds as a duty toward civilization. In many communities where churches have been closed on account of Spanish in- fluenza. outdoor meetings will be held
 Helen Keller today telegraphed Sec retary McAdoo from Hollywood, Cal. saying:
 T would like to sell a million dollars worth of bonds from my world of dark. ness and silence. Will you buy iust one bond through me?"
