FAIss3 Fed SLOGAN
OF LOAN CAMPAIGN
oaily Subscriptions Now Must Aver
age s416,0o0,ooo it Minimum Goal Is
Reached in Three Weeks-infIuenza
e Epidemic Interferes With Sales.

Washington, Oct. with the open
ing of the second week of the fourth
liberty loan campaign the managers
face a~great task. From now to ~the
close Of the campaign daily subscrip-
tions must average s416 O0o, ,0oo If the
$6,ooo,Oo0.O00 is to be disposed Of dur
ing this period. This statement is
based on sales reported by banks and
trust companies.
= The apparent tagging of the loan is
explained by failure of purchasers to
heed the slogan of the drive, BUY
more bonds"
Buyers of the third loan, while liberal
participants in the fourth loan, ap-
parently are forgetting they must only
buy again but buy more literally.
Only scattered reports we're received
today. Both Cleveland and San Fran
cisco districts announced they had
passed the $10o,000,000 mark. While
the influenza campaign Is interfering
with the campaign, house to house
campaign is being made.
In an appeal to the people not to let
victories on .he battls- field and peac.
cvertures from the enemy interfere
with the fourth liberty loan. Secretary
McAdoo said today:
"Our. boys m the trenches arc not
going to stop because tho enemy is ON
the run. Now is the time to fight
harder and keep moving until victory
Is clfnched."

Attempt to Divert Disaster.


Paris, Oct. 1.-The request for an
armistice and the opening OF peace
parleys by the central powers Is looked
upon by the French press generally as
an attempt to divert disaster.
1t is declared Germany hopes to
make peace and exploit the peace
treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Bucha-
rest and to save the Hohenzollern dyn-
asty.
4 The national congress Of the social
ist party, which opened here yester-
day, adopted n resolution addressed to
President Wilson concerning the peace
proposals from the central powers.
. 1t expresses the views that guaran-
tees should be exacted from the enc
my, but 1t was the duty of the allied
nations not to reject without discus
sion such proposals as have been made.
The message notes with Joy the new
results of the sustained efforts put
forth and the great sacrifices made
by the soldiers of the allied. democra-
cies.
The party likewise sees in the move
made by the central powers. accom-
panied by the retirement OF their
troops from the front. the probabili-
ties that the enemy will be brought to
an understanding Of right and liberty.
Asks Declaration of Purposes.
The resolution refers to President
Wilson's speech of Feb. 27, and in the
name Of the representatives CT the par
ty. asks the governments Of the allies
frankly to declare their purposes
The previous action of the socialists
in endorsing the presidents peace
points is reviewed and the resolution
adds
The party associates itself more
than ever in the acts OF President Will
son, which viii have the result Of Civ
ing satisfaction to the masses who
struggle and who have the right more
than others to respond Ito the central
powerso The socialist party feels
that It, like President Wilson. is work
ing to bring about just and durable
peace"
