 Washington, oct. IT, Subscriptions reported and estimated mp to noon Thursday amount to four billion dol lars, leaving at least two billion dol lars to complete the fourth Liberty loan. Only two days are left within which to raise the vast amount No country on earth but America could raise so vast a sum in so short a time America can do it and must do it. The destinies of the world and the eyes of civilization are centered up- on America We shall fail in every thing we have fought for and hope to gain in this war if the fourth Lib- crty loan is defeated. Let every true American citizen today examine him self under the white light of patriot ism, say whether or not he has done his utmost in this emergency The highest obligations of duty and patriot ism command every true American to go immediately to his bank or to his Liberty loan committee 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 this 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 will help you If every patriotic cit izen will do his duty today victory for the fourth Liberty loan is certain. The continued victories of our arm'es in Europe the certain defeat of oar enemies and the glorious triumph Of the cause of liberty depends upon what the American people do in tho remaining two days of the fourth Lib crty loan campaign

] Washington Oct l7.-Signs null Itipned today that Germany and Aus
 tria are hastening to rearrange their
 internal political affairs and their methods of warfare in the hope of meeting the requirements laid down Iby President Wilson in his reply TO IGermany's peace proffer There was no indication today when the German answer would come, but that one
 would he dispatched was made moro certain by the statements Of Baron
 'Burp, the Austrian foreign minis
 ter, before the foreign affairs con- .mittee of Austrian parliament.
 Following closely the radical changes in the German governmental structure as recorded in cable dis patches from Amsterdam and Rotter- dam, information same in the state ment today that the Austrian emper-l CT had announced to the foreign ar fairs committee of parliament his pur- pose to grant autonomy to the oppress- ed nationalities in the dual empire. The right to autonomous existence for these nationalities is one of tho peace requirements laid down by President Wilson.
 Bitter opposition from the intenseiy conseryatioye German and Magyar components of the empire is certain 10 be aroused by this radical change in the system of government, but it is believed Emperor Charles thinks this, can be oyerbalanced by the measure of support he will receive from the liberal elements and the separati5t parties, especially if he can make it
 appear that the change is a long step
 toward the final peace so insistentlyI demanded by tho populace.
 The announcement from Copenhag- en today of the reading Of a decree in
 the IIurearia parlamet recognizing
 Hungary as a separate state is re- garded as an earnest of what is 10
 come to the other natiOnalties of the
 empire It has been suggested that
 the delay in dspatching the presi-
 dents reply to the Austrian appeal for
 an armisticc may ne accounled for by
 the conviction of officials that events
 are moving so rapidly in Austria Hun gary that it would be wise to await the out come of the present agitation lhere Tn order to adapt the reply to the new conditions
 Baron Burian's statement to the foreign affairs committee that Ger many will make the constitutional Imodfications necessary to realize the demand for a democratic form af gov lcrnment and abdication of military control was regarded as clearly indi- catin2 the Austrian purpose to do like wise. Events are moving in the same direction in Turkey, so that the con clusion is irresistible that the whole program of constitutional reform now under way is the result of an agree nent between their allies to meet one | Df the presidents conditions for a cessation of hostilities
 Barion Burians statement that IGcrmany will be in q position to ac- cept the presidents demands regard ling the humaniZation of the war. ap- lpears to be borne out in a measure lby reports from the battlefront in Belgium and northern France that the IGermans are not footing and destroy ing private property as heretofore.

PRESIDENTS REPLY
 WAS PRINTED IN FULL
Manifesto is Issued By the conser- vatlVe Party Declaring That After President Wilson's Reply the Con- test of Arms Must Be Fought to Finish.

Amsterdam, Oct 17-Dispatches from Berlin tonight indicate strong anti w ilson tendency not only in mill tary quarters, but also in those which have favored peace.
 For example Herr Gothein, mem- Der of the rechstag. writing in the zeitun aMfm Mittag, declares Pres- ldent W4son has given a death blow to the idea of a league Of nations. His position the writer asserts. is ono of brute force rather than equal rights and Germany would enter a league un-- der such conditions with feeling "in- describable bitterness"
 Gothein asserts that the idea of surrendering at the discretion of the allies makes the blood of even tho most confirmed paclfists boil and adds that although he always has opposed unrestricted submarine warfare, its ordinary weakening of the German military position.
 The Cologne Gazette publishes a manifesto of the conservative party signed by Count Friedrich von Vest arp and other members of the party, declaring that after President Wil- sons reply the contest of arms must be fought out to a finish. It paints 8 terrible picture of the fate that would befall an invaded fatherland
 A dispatch to the Cologne Volks Zeitung from Berlin states that there was exhaustive deliberations between the reiohstag, the federal council and the supreme comand, as well as the leaders of all parties before de- cision is reached concerning a reply to Mir Wilson's note It is said to be probable the rechstag will not re-- assemble until next week.
 Judging by Rheinish and Berlin newspapers received here, President Wilson's reply to Germany was printed in fall in the German press. The newspapers variously tremed the re- ply "A trap Wilson's evasions." "A rude answer" and the like.
 Some of the newspapers do not att tempt to comment on the reply, mere ly saying Leave it to the supreme army command
 Here and there appeals are made to reutrals to the effect that Germany's hnnEhiliation would involve their commercial ruin also The Iokal Anzeiger gives way to despondency, lamenting over the human, lives being sacrificed While Wilson has it in his power to end the carnage"
 The Tageblatt and Vorwaerts of Berlin urge the entente in the higher interests of humanity to avoid an ex- cessiyeiy irreconcilable spirit Ger mania considers that all possibility of kgotations is not precluded, while the Conservative organs see nothing but a struggle to the end without fur ther efforts towards peace. The kreuse Zetung says President Wilson definitely seeks the capitula- ton of the eCrman army and the ab- dication of the German monarch. Let the faithful servitors Of .he monarch rally around him to defend him against internal and external en- emies,H the newspaper pleads.
 The Deutche Tages Zeitung cannot conceive of g0yernmGat which would reply otherwise than with an ener- getic No" to Hresident Wilson. The moment has come, the newspaper de- clares to collecl the last force tc de- fend Germany's honor, her frontier and future,

 Over a front of forty miles, from

Likewise the enemy is being forced 10 concede defeat by retrograde movements be- fore the British and Americans southeast of Cambrai; under the at i tacks of the French in the pocket be- tween the Disc and Serre rivers north of l-aon and by reason of continued strong attacks by the French and Americans in Champagne and along

 Nowhere, however, is the enemy n disorder In Belgian Flanders his steps are being hastened by reason of
 the swift drives into his line by the

 Ostend, one of the famous sub marine bases on the sea. is in British hands More than a score of ad- dtional villages have been liberated by the allied troops and numerous suns and quantities of stores have been captured
 In their withdrawal from West Elan ders the Germans are carrying out a tactical movement which doubtless will end in a general falling back of
 their line in northern France and permit them to materially strengthen
 their resistance on new and shorter front. This probably will be from Antwerp 10 Namur and Metz. and | thence to the Swiss border, which

 Southeast of Cambrai over a front
 of ten miles between La Cateau and Bohain, the British and Americans are delivering a violent attack against 1 the Germans and at last reports they were meeting with success, al-
 though the Germans were sayasely resisting with machine guns and in
 fantry and with artillery behind their line.
 North of l.aon in the sack between
 the Disc and Serre rivers the French are endeayoring to drive out the Ger | mans or capture them before they
 can make their way eastward to Hir-
 son. Here also the enemy is using his machine eunners and artillery to
 impede the progress Of the French, but further gains have been recorded. l The greatest resistance of all, how
 ever, is still being imposed against l the efforts of the French and Ameri-
 cans in Champagne and along the Mouse river, where the holding of the
 line is essential to stave off a general retreat by the Germans all the way from Belgium to the Swiss frontier. The French in Champagne are still lighting hard to capture Rethel, but
