MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT
WILSON HAS AWAKENED
ONLY ONE DAY LEFT
AFTER TODAY
To Raise Two Billions Dollars
of the Fourth Liberty
Loan
NEED 1T FOR EXPENSES
NEED 1T FOR EXPENSES

Washington, Oct. 1S.--The fourth
loan has passed the four billion
mark It has reached $4,250, ,000,-
900 subscriptions and $1,75O, ,000,-
900 remains to be raised today and
tomorrow.
dispatches this morning from ov-
er the country say they will be sat
isfied with nothing except that the
loan must be over-subscribed.
Washington, Oct. lS.-Fourth
Liberty Loan subscriptions reporte-
ed and unreported, probably amount
to four billion dollars, although
those actually tabulated by head
quarters here aggregate $3,607 ,59l,
$50, the Treasury announced last
might.
One day more remains for the
raising of two billion dollars.
On Saturday night, subscription
books will close absolutely Secretary
McAdoo declared yesterday, thus
|setting at rest persistent reports
that owingto the retarding influence
|of the influenza epidemic the gov
|ernment contemplated giving the
nation another week in which TO ell
ter pledges
New reasons why the loan should
be not only raised but over-subscrib-
ed, as emphasized yesterday by Sec
rctary McAdoo, arethat tremendous
war expenses will continue to run on
for many months regardless of the
outcome of Germanys efforts TO.
peace. Even if peace should come
soon-and no agency of the govern
ment is drawing its plans in this
definite belief--there will be i'm
mense manufacturing contracts to
be fulfilled, armies to be brought
back to American shores and 4 null
titude of other expenses which the
momentum of war |ill carry on.
This means other war loans, Sec
retary McAdoo explained. And what
ever the measure of over-subscrip-
ti0n to the Fourth Loan may be it
will be deducted from future loans.
so that there will be no danger OF
piling up idle credit to the govern
ment account.
Actually, the funds now being
gathered in uits of fifty and one
hundred dollars have already been
spent to great extent.
More than three-fourths of the
six billions expected. or $4.6G5, 00O.-
900, must go to pay off short term
certificates issued in bi-weekly
blocks since last June to get current
funds with which TO pay the nation
war bills. The difference between
that sum and the six billions is not
enough to run the government for
one month.
Secretary McAdoo is anxious that
all citizens understand this situa-
tion, believing that their subscrip-
tions in the final days of the cam"
paign will be more willing and Of
larger proportions if based on intel
ligent comprehension of the govern
ment's dollar needs.

sents the biggest single days con-
tribution ii is short of the pro rata
amount sought to bring the total to

AUSTRIA IS
FASTENING
To Meet the Requirements of
the Allies by Promising
Autonomy
TO OPPRESSED PEOPLE
TO OPPRESSED PEOPLE

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Signs null
tiplied yesterday that Germany and
Austria are Fastening to rearrange
their internal political affairs and
their methods of warfare in the
Ihope Of meeting the requirements
laid down by President Wilson in
his reply to Germany's peace prof.
fer. There was no indication yes
terday when the German answer
would come, but that one would be
dispatched was made more certain
by the statements of Baron Burian,
the Austrian Foreign Minister, be-
fore the Foreign Affairs Committee
of the Austtian Parliament
Following closely the radical
changes in the German government
structures as recorded in cable dis
patches from Amsterdam and Rot
terdam, information came to the
State Department yesterday that the
Austrian Emperor has announced to
the Foreign Affairs Committee of
Parliament his purpose to grant au-
tomony to the oppressed nationali-
ties in the dual empire. The right
to autonOmiZe existence for these
nationalities is one of the peace re.
quirements laid down by President
Wilson.
Bitter opposition from the in
tensely conservative German and
Magyar componeuts of the Empire
is certain to be aroused by this rail-
cal change in the system of govern
ment, but is is believed that Emper-
or Charles thinks this can be over
balanced by the measure of support
will receive from the Liberal ele-
nents and the Separatist parties, es-
Iecially if he can make it appear
that the change is a long step to-
wards the final peace so insistently
demanded by the ropulace.
The announcement from Copenha-
gen yesterday of the reading 5f a
decree in the Hungarian Parl lament
recognizing Hungary as a separate
state is regarded ae an earnest Of
what is to come to the other nation
alities of the Empire. II has been
suggested that the delay in dispatch
ing the Presidents reply to the Aus
trian appeal for an armistice may be
accounted for by the conviction Of
officials that events are moving so
rapidly in Austria Hungary that Il
would be wise to await the outcome
OF the present agitation there in or
der to adapt the reply to the new
Baron Burian's statement to the
foreign committee that Germany
will make the constitutional modifi-
cations necessary to realize the de-
mand for a democratic form of goH
ernment and abdication of military
control, is regarded as clearly indi-
eating the Austrian purpose to do
likewise. Events are moving in the
same direction in Turkey where the
Sultan has declared for a represen-
tative government so that the con-
clusion is irresistible that the whole
program of constitutional reform
now under way is the result of an
agreement between the three allies
to meet one of the Presidents con-
ditions for a cessation of hostilities.
