EARLY REPLY
IS EXPECTED
From Germany to the Answer
of America. Internal
Conditions Expected
TO FORCE MATTERS

Washington, Oct. 10.--An early
response to Wilson's note of inquiry
to the German Chancellor is expect
ed by American officials. While real
ing that an answer to three pertinent
questions put to the Prince of Ba-
den will be very difficult if the orig
nal proposal of the German govern
ment were not sincere, officials are
confident that internal conditions in
Germany and the tremendous ext
gencies of the military situation will
force speedy action by the Chancel
lor if he hopes to prolong the exist
ence of his cabinet beyond few
days.
So far as the hold of the govern
ment upon the people is concerned,
conditions in Austria are even far
worse than those in Germany This
fact is calculated to strongly affect
the German government which is un-
derstood to entertain grave doubts

dual monarchy and to fear that Aus

clusion that Turkey already is lost

The general belief here is that the
Chancellor will endeavor to find a

in his reply to halfway admissions,
hoping thus to begin a long diplo-

Last Shot Fired at Rheims;

With the French Army, Oct. -
(Associated Press. THE last shells
fell upon Rheims on Friday. after
which the Germans retired over the
hills to save the guns that fired the
parting shots, one of which hit the
cathedral.
THE crash of it," said an eye-wit-
ness to this last bio wof brutal force

art, sounded like an explosion of
impotent rage
A few more stones fell from the
ragged edge of an old breach in one

cloud of dust and smoke arose from
the skeleton structure, and German
effort at the destruction of the an
cient capital of the Remi was ended.
There is little more the Germans
could have done, for Rheims today
sin utter ruin. The cathedral which
required more than 200 years in the
building, has been reduced to ruin
in four years of more or less con-
stant bombardment. The walls are
standing, but daylight shows through
them in many places. Great holes
in the ceiling are growing larger, as

SLOW PROGRESS IN
LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
People Must Go Deeper Into Pockets

Washington, Oct 10.-The treas
ury department yesterday openely
admitted that the slow progress of
the Fourth Liberty Loan toward its
six billion dollar goal is a mater of
serious concern. With the three
weeks subscription period half gone,
the loan is only 30 per cent sub
scribed. The total reported to the
treasury up to last night is s1,791.-

There is no use in denying or at.
tempting to camoufage the fact that
Liberty Loan committees throughout
the country are confronted with a
serious siuation," said the treasury
statement. IF the loan is to be
subscribed, a daily average of
S467, 900, 900 must be raised between
now and October 19.

loan never can succeed at its present
rate of speed, canvassers through
out the country are stating plainly
to all citizens that they must buy
bonds in larger amounts than here.

 Mary of theso inspectors were in league with the munition makers to defraud the government, he said, as in9tanced in recent cases of the crE1y clothing scandal and that there were at the present time at least spies in the United States, and any manufacturer caught at tempting to defraud the govern ment, should be tried by court tial and have the same punishment or worse if possible meted out to him.
 The spy should be looked upon as an enemy but that the men pro- fessing to be American citizens and who outdo the spy should never receive any punishment less than death, says Senator Overman, then and not till then can we eradicate the profiteer.
