FREE DEPORTED BELGIANS

FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN TO
Be LAUNCHED IN SPRING
LONG BEFORE FOURTH LOAN
FIGURES ASCERTAINED.
Billions More Needed to Pay
War Costs, Which Can
Drop but Slowly.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Long before
the fourth liberty loan figures have
been counted up, or the honor flags
nave been entirely distributed, or the
money paid in, preparations have been
started at the treasury for the fiffh
liberty loan. q
The date has not been. determined.
nor the amount. nor AHhy other fea.
lures. The only certain knowledge is
that there will be another and that
1t probably will come in the spring
OF l9l9-ln March or April. Whether
present German maneuvers for peace
are successful or not, the government
by that time will need more billions
to pay the war costs which can de-
crease only gradually, even If cessa-
ton of military effort should come.
Within few months, the treasury will
again begin issuing new certificates
CT Indebtedness as a means Of financ-
ing itself, and by next spring the ac-
cumulated billions of these must be
redeemed out of proceeds from sale
Of more bonds.
So with the situation IN mind, the
loan organization OF the treasury today
had turned it's attention to campaign
plans for the next loan. Two features

IN POSITION
SQUEEZE TURKEY
EAST FROM PALESTINE AND
SOUTH FROM BALKANS,
Arab Tribes in Revolt Can Aid
in Attacking Northward
From Arabian Desert.
(By Charles Charlton.)

! New York, Oct. 22.-Q. N. 81
Turkeys departure from the war and
from the German alliance, Is expected
to be fastened by the latest develop
ments on the Balkan front.
The French have reached the Danube
river, cutting another line of COM
munication between the central en-
pires and Constantinople.
When the Serbians reached Nish
they severed the Orient railway, the
only direct railroad line Of communi-
cation between Germany and Constan-
tinople, but the waterway line of COM
munication, via the Danube and the
Black Sea remained open. Now that
line is closed and the only way that
Germany can communicate with her
Oriental ally, is through Russia and
the Black Sea, long, tortuous and
difficult line.
The French war office announced
that the Danube had been reached in
the vicinity of Vidin. Vidin is in Bull
gara,. about forty-seven miles south
east Of the Austro- Hungarian from
tier. 1t is on the Rumanian frontier,
the Danube separating Bulgaria and
Rumania at that point.
The Serbians are approaching Kra-
gujevatz, only seventy miles from Bel
grade, and the seat of the Serbian ma
tional arsenal.
The allies are in a position to
squeeze Turkey from three points:
Westward from~ Mesopotamia, and
Persia.
Eastward from Palestine.
Southwark from the Balkans.
The ArNb tribes are in revolt and
can aid the allies by attacking north
ward from the Arabian desert.

GERMAN REPLY BETRAYS
STATE DECENTRALIZATION
PARIS SAYS NOTE LEAVES
DOOR OPEN TO QUIBBLING.
Remnant of Lying Trickery
Innate in Teuton"- Not
Yet Desperate.

Paris, Oct 22.-The German reply tt
President Wilson was eagerly discussed
in official circles and in parliament
Among deputies OF all shades of opin.
ion the impression was, first of all
that the reply betrayed more than pre-.
vious communications, the state of de.
preston and the decentralization of thu
German people as the result of the al.
| lies victories.
AS a whole, the onte is found to be
equivocal and tortuous and platitudi-
| nously phrased as to leave the door
open for all sorts of quibbling. No
| where is there evidence in the reply OF
genuine desire to accept the only way
| which peace can be concluded accord
| ing to expression of opinion here. On
! the contrary, all that is apparent is the
urgent desire of the German general
| STAFF to get an armistice at any price
in order to re-organize it's reserves of
men and material. Therefore, it is gen.
| orally believed that the reply is not
likely to be considered at Washington.
The Figaro says that the men who
! combined to write the reply to Presi-
dent Wilson have translated the an
suish disarray and powerless anger of
the people in whose name they pretend
to speak,"
typical Document"
"The German note is typical docu-
ment" says the Matin. "In it are eX-
pressed the sentiments of a barbarous
people who failed in foray. There is
not word in the note which reveals
that stoical strength of which France
and other nations have so often given
proof in misfortune. Nevertheless, by
remnant of that lying trickery innate
IN teuton, our adversary seeks still
to deceive himself by lulling himself
against all evidence and hopes, but one
does not know what crazy illusion, to
succeed in deluding Wilson by euph-
isms and equivocations."
The Journal says the note seeks to
divide the allies and seeks also to draw
from President Wilson formal dec
laration that nothing will be asked
contrary to the honor of the German
people, but that an avowal of defeat
it is"
Not Yet Desperate.
Col. De Thomasson, in the Petit
Journal says: "The note is proof that
the German high command considers
the situation of it's armies most grave,
but not yet desperate"
The German government is again
trying to quibble," says L'Homme Lii
bre. "Stilb while humiliating itself, it
does not admit it's defeat, but one feels
1T is at the end Of it's resistance"
Marcel Cachin, writing in Humanite, !
says: "On every point the German
government clearly shows an effort at
conciliation. Good sense and reason die i,
tate that we do not persist in talking ,
Of traps and tricks. We said a few
days ago that the conversations begun
on Oct. would be continued. We may
observe that new step toward a Just |
peace has been made this day."

Fresh Divisions Poured Into

| Development of the plan being fol-
lowed bN the German high command
In conducting its retreat from north
ern France and Belgium makes II ap-
parent that Motz Is peing used as n
pivot for the movement. While the
Germans are pouring fresh divisions
| into the line In front of the Americans
northwest of Veriun in an attempt to
hold the line firmly, the rest of the
German legions are swinging back
.oward the Belgian frontier.
There are several situations along
the front, however. which render 1t
possible and even PROBABLE that Mar
shal Foch Will seriously interfere with
the orderly retirement of the enemy
forces. 1t seems certain that the Hun
ding line has been outiianked In Bel
GUM where the Scheldt river has been
crossed and east OF lie Cateau where
the British and Americans appear to
khave fought their way through all OBJ
structions. This line. therefore. may
be rendered untenable for the Ger
mans. who may be forced to fall back
TO the line OF the Meuse before at
tempting to stand at bay.
In the meantime attacks by the allies
In Belgium. east Of the Selle river
ana In the Oise region. threaten to
disorganize the German retreat. In
Beiglum the French md British are
porlng into the enemy's positions so
swiftly That they may completely out

troops advancing toward Ghent are
systematically clearing the country

satisfactory to the people generally.
1t was explained that. the president
has been in constant touch with the
entente allies and that a solid diplo-
matte front will be presented in all
diplomatic action, exactly the same as
Is being presented on military lines.
When asked If there was any likeli-
mood that the president would refer the
Germans to Gen. Foch so far as their
armstice suggestions were concerned,
officials said that this was for the
president himself to decide.

In cablegram to Carl Vrooman, as

Dear MI. Vrooman-Will you please
convey to farmers of America our pro-

ices to the country and to the allied
armies In the field. They have furnished
their full quota Of fighting men: they
have bought largely of liberty bonds:
they have increased their production of
food crops, both last year and this. by
over thousand million bushels above
normal
Food Is of vital military necessity for
us, and for our allies, and from the day
of our entry into the war Americas
armies of food producers have rendered
invaluable service to the allied cause by
supporting the soldiers at the front,
through their devoted and splendid work
in the fields and furrows at home. Very
