NATION MARCHING AT HALF SPEED
 IN LOAN DRIVE
Bond Sales Up to Last Night Total $855, 132, 900 of the
 Six Billion.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
 Washington, Oct. 1.-The nation is n.s:ching toward it's six billion dol lar Liberty loan goal at just little more than half the speed required to maintain a daily subscription rate of $315, 100000.
 Bond sales officially tabulated from rerCrts of banks were announced by the treasury tonight as $S55. .132 300, or an increase of $229,000,000 in the last "A hours.
 This represents results for the five working days up to last night. At the standard rate of $315,OO0, 900 a day, the record by this time should have been $1.575, 5,000,000.
 This method of calculation fails to take into consideration, however, the fact that many subscriptions have not been backed up by first pay merits, and consequently are not rec ognized in the official reports. and that natural procrastmation will cause thousands of citizens to pos pone entering pledges until late in the campaign.
 National headquarters today Issued a reminder that only thirteen work in. days remain before the subscrip- ton period ends, Oct. 19.
 Influenza has compelled the aban- donment of public loan meetings Tn scores of cities, and has made victims of hundreds of canvassers and speak CTS, but reports to headquarters today told of the quick change of tactics in many communities by substituting house to house canvassing for mass meetings.
 Oregon and Montana today joined Iowa in the list of states which have oversubscribed their quotas. D,
 In proportion of quota already sub- scribed, the St. Louis district leads all others with AZ percent and Boston, despite it's being hard hit by the in- fluenza, follows with 28 percent.

FURIOUS FIGHTING
 BY THE BRITISH ALONG ENTIRE LINE
Especially Near Le Catelet Where Germans Launch
 Powerful Attacks.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 With the British Army in France, Oct. 4.-There has been fighting of the most furious nature along the British front today.
 This has been true especially along the Beaurevoir line in the region east of Le Catelet.',
 The last strong line of the Him. denhurg system having been smash ed the British in possession of and reconitering far in advance. the Ger mans apparently feeling that they were fighting with their backs to the wall. have launched six powerful counter attacks during the last 24 hours.
 As result of one of them the British withdrew for a moment from Beaurevoir itself and from Mont Bre- 'haln to the western outskirts of the village.
 Use Two Divisions.
 For these attacks the Germans used two divisions which had been re- leased from the line through the capture by the French of St. Quen- tin.
 All the other counter offensives failed utterly
 At the end of them the bodies of German dead were piled high as a result of the rifle, machine gun and and shell fire and the British were in possession of vital lines of the German defense.
 The breach that has been made in the system here is narrow one as yet
 For that reason the armOred cars which went out to it last night re- connoitered deeply around new po- sitions. Then they returned. The Germans now seem to be most ac- tive on either side of the breach.
 May Widen Breach.
 Apparently they fear that efforts will be made to widen it.
 Meanwhile the roads and railways everywhere in the rear are crowoed with eastbound traffic.
 The civilians are being evacuated from many towns.
 Today the advance of the allied troops seemed slow because the bad reads ana spggy ground made ti al- most impossible for them to nego- tiate the terrain at many places.
 The soldiers fighting here are cak- ed with miio.
 Many of them have had to wade hip deep through the ooze while fighting their way forward.
 Fight In Streets.
 Again there has been fighting fin the streets of Cambrai, especially in the southern portion of the town, around which the British lines are slowly, but steadily being drawn.
 It is expected that the town may fall at any time.
 Are Falling Gack.
 In the Lille sector the Germans are falling back eastward, leaving only rear guards behind to protect their retreat.

This hypothesis partly explains German confusion that has been noticeable at various times and places lately. <

With the American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. (By The Associated Press. )-10 p. m.) )-The Americans resumed the attack this morning west of the Mouse and ad- vanced their lines from two to five kilometers. They captured Hill 24O, north of Exermont and the villages of Gesnes Fleville, Chehery and La For ges.
 In the the face of heavy artillery and machine gun fire Illinois, Wis consin, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia troops have forced the enemy back to the Kriemhild position south of the Foret wood.
 Airmen Do Good Work.
 The American av;ators again cover- ed themselves with glory and per formed almost the impossible in to- days drive.
 Dawn broke with mists heavy over the trenches and the country across which the Americans were to go, and it was hours before the weather cleared sufficiently to permit any ob- servation.
 The splendid Jason that marked the days operations and which was near-- ly ideal under the circumstances was due in great part to the work of the aviotors, who countless times risked their lives in reconnoitering, attack ing the retreating Germans and bringing back reports.
 Germans Daring.
 To this was added the fact that the German fliers seemed for once inspired by dare devilry and bravery equal to the American aviators and during the entire morning, particular ly in the center of the action, they swooped over the hetdas of the Amer, ican infantry only a few hundred meters above the earth, using mach, inc guns with telling effect until driven off. =. :, .
 Chiefly because of this daring, the German losses were unusually heavy and even the American anti-aircraft batteries accounted for seven mach ines which they brought down with out trouble at the short ranges they could use. IL 1 One more German plane fell to the prowess of an infantryman who was carrying an anti-tank gun captured a few moments before and winch ne turned on an aviator just over head bringing hiw down instantly.

Perth Amboy, N. J., Oct. 4.-Many men were killed and scores of others injured in tremendous explosion to- night at the plant of the T. A. Giles pic Shell Loading Company at Nor gan, near here.

Change Their Plans.

Change Their Plans.
 With the French Army in France, Oct. 4 (By The Associated Press. J. The Germans have been obliged to make an entirely different use of their reserves than they planned.
 Each time the results have been negative, further complicating the general situation behind the German lines.
 One of the most important suc- cesses yesterday was in the fighting on the height on which Medeah farm is situated.
 (This point was captured by Ameri- can troops aiding the French in Champagne.)
 This height gives the allied artil- lery command of wide stretch of territory sloping westward toward the river Suippe and the valley of the Suippe and the river Arnes, north of Moronvillers.
 Guns posted on the slopes of Med- eah height will be able to lombard the rear of the German positions on the monountains in Champagne east of Rheims, and to enfilade their lines of retreat toward the north.
 The German reserves brought up to defend that height, and who could not do that, are continuing today to make vain counter attacks in an ef- fort to stop the allied advance.
 West of Rheims General Berthelot's army now holds the entire line of the Aisne canal between Rheims and the y.ivor icpo ovcortiuor bitc in thu col. tent of Sapigneul-, .vscou and near the road from Loivre to Courcy.
 The four great battles that have been, in progress since September 30 from Flanders to the Mouse were in- creased to six by the entry into action of General Debeney's men around St. Quentin and General Berthelot's for ces northwest of Rheims and all con tinue with great intensity.

Country Is Ablaze.

COuuCIy IS ADldZe.
 With the British Forces in France, Oct. (11:30 a. m.)-British troops last night and this morning made progress in the neighborhood of Fresnoy-Le-Grand northeast of St. Quentin though only meagre reports of the fighting in that district have been received.
 The country behind the German lines in Flanders is ablaze virtually everywhere.
 Making Great Haste.
 From prisoners comes the informa- tion that the Germans are making hurried preparations to evacuate the Dune country of Belgium along the seacoast.
 Dugouts are being blown up there.
 There is tangible evidence that the Germans realize their position north east of St. Quentin is extremely pre- carious, for the roads in the rear of the preached Hindenburg line are con- gested with traffic.
 The railways are jammed with mat ter moving eastward at a great rate and on some roads British aviators have observed struggling stream of civilians who are being hurriedly sent from the rear.
 The Beaurevoir line having been pierced, the Germans soon if not now will find the greatest difficulty in ar- ersting the progress of the British
 Hold To Last.
 Prisoners say they were given or ders to hold on to the last moment in order to give the Germans an oppor- tunity to construct line at Valen- ciennes.
 British thrusts between Fresnoy and the river Scarpe show that the Germans are holding on with despera- tion there. probably in an effort to save some of their material and heavy guns.
