SOUNDS WARNING NOTE
Secretary McAdoo Appeals for
Strong Loan Support.
Asserts Peace Overtures and Military
Successes Should Stimulate
Bond Buying.

Washington, Oct. "a statement
has been issued by Secretary McAdoo
warning the country against allowing
overtures OF peace from the enemy
and military victories to interfere with
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The secretary made this statement
"Our victories on the battlefield and
peace overtures from our enemies
serve only TO emphasize the supreme
importance OF making the Fourth Lib
erty Loan a success, in order to keep
up the fighting pressure.
Now is the time above all others
not to relax, but to intensity effort
that the goal for which we are fight
ing and for which we have already
made such sacrifices shall be won.
Our boys in the trenches are not
going to stop fighting because the en-
envy is on the run. Now is the time
to fight harder and to keep moving un-
til the victory is clinched. There is
more reason than ever to put the
Fourth Liberty Loans over the top.

Renewed Pressure Against Ger

and British Forces.
CITY OF LAoN PER|lED
French Driving Foe Into Trap on
Aisne River-Huns Plan Retreat
Of From Twenty to Forty
Miles.

London, Oct. 9.-Renewing major
operations on the center OF the line
from the Meuss to the North sea, Brit
ish ard American troops are smashing
into the rear d~efenses OF the linden
burg line between st. Quentin and
Cambria.
While Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Haig is attacking on the 20-mile front
north OF st. Quentin, the French along
the Suippe continue their progress
northward toward the German COM
munication line. despite strong enemy
resistance. The French have reached
the juncture of the Suippe and Aisne
rivers and have forced their way into
two large towns on the middle Suippe.
Vital Rail Lines Attacked.
The Anglo-American thrust against
the vital sector between Cambria and
st. Quentin follows successful local
operations in the region OF Beaurevoir
and Montbrehain i'm which gao German
prisoners were taken.
On the front of attack the British
and Americans are pushing eastward
from the hills west of the canal be-
tween the two towns toward the rail-
way junction OF Bohain and the rail-
way lines running north and south,
which are important to the German
supply system in this region.
Americans Strike In Areonne.
From the Argonne forest to the
ManCa tha An,arican army again has
struck at the German positions before
the Kriemhilde line and a great battle
seems to be impending there. This
sector is most important to the Ger
mans, as a defeat there would send
them back In the direction of Sedan.
through which runs the great trunk
railway line which connects the Ger.
mans as far west as Laon with Ger
many.
The Americans have brought up
their heavy artillery and there is every
evidence that a terrific struggle is TO
be expected on this front. On the
western side OF this battleline the
Americans moved ahead and captured
Chatel Chehery, as well as important
ground just to the asst of the village.
French Fight Across Aisne.
Successful continuation of the
French advance north and northeast
of Rheims is menacing the security OF
the Laon massif. After capturing
Berry au BAG, the French are fighting
their way into Condo sur Suippe al
the junction OF the Aisne and the Sup
pc. Progress northward from these
towns would outflank both the Cham
payne and Laon positions now occu
pied by the Germans and make un
tenable the lines of both the Aisne anG
the Retourne.
