WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-More than
billion dollars is needed to put the
Fourth Liberty loan over the top. And
the nation has only until midnight to-
night to subscribe It.
Only one of the twelve federal re-
serve districts-St. Louis. has attain
ed its quota and only three have pass
ed the three-quarters mark. Atlanta
is the lowest with only little more
than half
Official figures from the treasury de-
partment, however. did not cover all
sales for yesterday and consequently
most districts are nearer their goals
than appears on the face OF the re-
turns. But stupendous job remains
to the army of two million workers in
the campaign and they plan to keep
steadily at it until midnight.
Most banks over the country will
remain open late tonight to receive
last minute subscriptions, but there
is no probability of the complete
amount of the loan being known until
late next week This very fact has
caused officials to impress upon the
people that they must not hold back
subscriptions in the belief that the
loan will be over-subscribed Every
dollar is needed to put the loan over
the top. they declare.
In setting out to raise six billion
dollars, America undertook the great
est war financing campaign in the
history of the world. Officials said
the nation had never failed in any un-
dertaking and that it would not fail
in this one.

ARCHANGEL, NORTHERN EURO
PEAN RUSSIA, Oct. 17.-Allied forces
on the Dvina have been withdrawn
little over six miles in the face Of
an attack by greatly superior forces,
which had been reinforced from Petro-
grad and apparently commanded by
competent officers. The withdrawal
was successful under a severe bonn
bardment.
At last reports the Bolshevik rein
forcements were reported advancing
and the allied forces were under a
hail Of shrapnel shells and ''pompoms."
Occasionally six inch shell from a
Bolshevik gun-boat or a land battery
would strike.
The positions abandoned by the al
lies were held for week against
greatly superior forces The allies
operating along the Dvina and Vega
rivers have been handicapped by fall
of he water, which left boats stuck on
sandbars and barred progress by gun
boats at critical times.
