MANY PRODUCTS ARE
 ORDERED CURTAILED

Washington, Oct. 1S-Curtailment measures affecting labor, fuel trans portation, raw materials and capital were issued today by Chairman Ba- ruch of the War Industries Board in connection with large numbers of non- war commodities that have not been affected by restrictions already in ef- feet. Virtually all orders of today are designed to restrict consumption of steel for domestic purposes and af- ford larger quantities of this metal for war materials.
 At the head of the list are electric fans. Lawn mowers come next, with production cut to 40 per cent of that in 1917.
 Restrictions on other articles not ir demand except in summer were devis' cd also. Pottery is restricted to 5( per cent of last years output, pad locks to 70 per cent. and builders hardware to 40 to 30 per cent.
 Stepladders and balances and ra and animal traps are also put on the curtailed list. Production of sport ing arms and ammunition is limited 10 10 per cent of last years output cash registers and all kinds of calcu lating machines are cut down abou 2S per cent. on the production of las year. Ice cream freezers, glass bot. ties and jars and talking machin, needles were placed under the curtail ment ban, too.
 Additional restrictions designed tt conserve labor. fuel. transportation and other war energies are under con sideration.

RAW GOODS MARKET
 OFFERS PREPARATION

London, Oct 1S-Dr. Christopher Addison, minister without portfolio in charge of reconstruction. in a speech with reference to punishment for Germany's crimes, said yesterday that there was one way in which the econ omy weapon could be used as an in strument of justice.
 The Germans had either removed milsl and machinery wholesale from France and Belgium into Germany, he declared, or had destroyed them, apparently with the deliberate pur- pose of thus removing In part the economic producing power of France and Belgium, counting upon the ad- vantage which this would give Ger man texture industry after the. war.
 But there is the question of raw materials" said Dr. Addison. 'The burden of the restoration of destroy ed machinery must fall on those who destroyed it, and VIII be within the power of the Allies to withhold from Germany any cotton anc other goods until the enemy has made good the machinery destroyed"

KAISER ANXIOUS TO NEGOTIATE
Diplomats Think He Wants Peace Talk Kept Before
 German People.

Washington, Oct. 1S-Whiie the in spired report that Germany had forth with replied to President Wilson's last communication on the subject of an armistice and peace and had accepted the Presidents terms, now appears to have been at least premature, there is good reason to believe that Germany s reply to the President, when 1t does come, will be virtually an acceptance, and that every effort will be continued to further the peace negotiations.
 The report of the Kaiser's abdica- ton, as expected, remains unconfirm ed, and officials and diplomats here characterize most of the rumors of serious upheavols as simply part of the well organized German propa- ganda now seething in enemy coun- tries.
 The one thing which the German government seems to fear above all else now is that the peace issue will be eliminated and the German and Austrian people brought back squarely face to face with the military situation on the western front, the growing military menace which has developed as a result of Bulgaria's collapse, and the preparations which America con- tinues to make to secure and guaran- tee absolute victory.
 What Is interesting officials particu' larly now is the frantic haste witt which both Germany and Austria with a view to keeping the discussions with President Wilson open. appear to be making changes in their gov ernmental affairs with the obviou! aim of conforming on paper at leas to the Presidents demand that gov ernments truly representative of thu people be established prior to tn, opening of peace negotiations.
 The State Department has been in formed from Berne that Austria Hungary seems to be facing a decisivt crisis politically. according to all in dications, and that the Austrian Elm peror is expected shortly to issue manifesto to the people granting au tonomy to the various nationalities Diplomatic advices state that 8 Polish members of the ReichraeN me recently at Cracow and formed an or ganizatien declaring they would n longer sit in the Reichsrath.

BRITISH MEET WITH CONSIDERABLE
 OPPOSITION SOUTHWEST OF DOUAI

The Fourth British army launched a powerful attack from Le Cateau southward this morning. American contingents are participating in the fighting. First reports indicate ex- cellent progress made everywhere against the desperately fighting Ger mans, who are being driven back toward the Disc. The Selle river has been crossed at St. Benin and the station has been captured. At last re- ports the Allies were well east of the river and still advancing.

HELP YOUR GOVERN MENT WIN THE WAR

Every loyal and patriotic citizen is anxious to do his or her bit to help win the war and almost every family has odds and ends of old gold jewelry or watches, old silverware, gold filled and plated scrap silver plated table ware, etc, which they would be glad to turn into money.
 Uncle Sam needs these metals. We suggest that you gather up all such unneeded articles and bring them to us. With the money secured from their sale you can purchase Thrift Stamps, Liberty Bonds, etc, and in this way help your government win tho war. We also buy diamond jew elry you have no further use for.

MILLION DOLLARS EVERY SECOND IS
 SUM REQUIRED

Washington, Oct. 1S-One million dollars a minute is what the nation must subscribe between now and midnight tomorrow night if the Fourth Liberty Loan is to go over the $6,00O, 100000 mark. Treasury ott1- cials estimated today that just about 33 working hours remained to the 2,000,000 solicitors when they set out this morning for ! whirlwind finish to the three weeks campaign for the greatest war loan in all history. The task before these workers was recog- nized as a stupendous one, but there was no doubt here that it would be accepted. Not a single reserve district has attained it's quota, however. New York still has $500, 100000 to raise, St. Louis and Minneapolis are leading in the order named, with the latter claiming to have gone over the top.
