Only Ten Days Remain in Which Over Four Billions in Bonds Must Be Sold
HARDEST KIND OF
 WORK IS NEEDED
Nineteen of APT Counties in Atlanta District Have Reached Allotted Quotas-Reports Coming in
 Very Slowly

Washington, October 8. Nine working days of the fourth Liberty Loan campaign now are gone, 10 remain, and only $1,600,000,000 of the $6,0OO,O 100000 total has been raised.
 Treasury compilations tonight showed that pledges of $1.591, 1,556.9Oo have been received by banks throughout the coun try. This figure did not include todays report from the Dallas district. how ever. and the addition is expected to raise the amount to at least $1 100000 900.
 The increased sales as shown by today's report over yesterday amounts to SECS, ,000, DOC" says the treasurys re- view of the campaign, and while this is an increase over former days, is still far from satisfactory. The cam paign now has extended through nine of the 19 days that it is to run and that slightly more than one-fourth of the total amount of the loan. $6,000,- o00, 900. has been subscribed. Obviously the very hardest kind of work will be required to float the loan"

DISTRICT PERCENTAGES
19 COUNTIES OVER

The Atlanta district has 19 of its 427 counties over their allotment. Re- ports from the outlying districts are coming in very slowly and managers believe their arrival will bolster up the districts total.

 Indiana still is leading in the per centage quota race in the St. Louis dis trict. Arkansas is second, Kentucky third Mississippi fourth. Illinois fifth and Missouri sixth.
 The increase of over 100000, 600 in Chicago's report today was an encour- aging feature to officials. Nineteen hundred and eight community honor flags already have been awarded in that district.

GERMAN PRESS FE|GNS ANGER AT
 MAX'S ADDRESS
Heaviest Blow to German People Conceivable and Means Loss of Fruits of
 Victory, Says Taper

Amsterdam, October S.--That penance for wrong done is far from the German public mind is shown by the remarks of the Rhenish papers on Chancellor Maximilian's speech
 Sundays Cologne Gazette envelops it. self in icy silence. The Rhenish Vest phalian Zeitung, in fierce editorial, says:
 ''It Is the heaviest blow to the Ger man people conceivable,'' and adds:
 Tt means the total abandonment of Germany's Flemish policy and the abso- lute surrender of all fruits of victory in the east Baltic Germany now is threat ened with utter ruin and the empire 8 gates opened wide to bolshevism."
 BROWNING ABSURDITY
 The proposal for the creation of AL sace-Lorraine as federal state it re- fers to as ''the crowning absurdity of all the absurdities for which German policy has distinguished itself in its pacificatory efforts there in the past 70 years" The paper taunts the new gov- ernment with completely misjudging the position. Its action. 1t says, is born of vague imaglnings and nervous timidity.
 "A peace such as Prince Maximilian advocates" the paper continues, would be peace to the great glory of Eng land and establish Anglo-Saxon world dominion. As for Germany she would be pushed into a corner among the na- tions of the earth.
 The volks Zeitung fiercey declares that now the German people and not the gov- ernment or the chancellor have spoken and boasts of "Germany's uneonquered hosts on land and sea"
 MUSTN'T GOAD GERMANY
 It threatens terrible things should the enemy in his blind hatred persist In goad- ing Germany to desperation
 The Essen Alegemeine Zeitung con- fesses to being depressed at the fact that President Wilson has again been approached with a peace offer which, it says shows "a peculiar kind of opti- mism after past experiences"
 Criticizng adversely the chancellor s intentions regarding Belgium and the eastern border states. this paper, which is the Krupps organ, comes to the con- c,usion that nothing will bring peace hut the enemys recognition that they are at the end of their strength.
 An indication of Belgian opinion is piven in Echo Beige, which is published in exile at Amsterdam. It captions it's editorial with The Crocodile Weeps.

imperial German government ac- cepts the terms laid down by the President in his address to the Congress of the United States on January 6, last, and in subsequent addresses, and that its object in entering into discussions would be only to agree apOn the practf- cal details of their applicati0ns
 The President feels bound to say with regard to the sugges- tion of an armistice that he would not feel at liberty to propose . cessatfOns of arms to the govern nients to which the government of the United States is associated against the central powers, so long as the armies of those powers are upon their soil. The good faith of any discussion would manifest- ly depend upon the consent of the central powers immediately to withdraw their forces everywhere from invaded territory.
 The President also feels that he fs justffied in asking whether the imperial chancellor h speaking merely for the constituted author ffies of the empire who have, 90 Tar. conducted the war. He dcems the answer to these questions vitnl From every point of view.

AVOIDED CURT REPLY

~~sSN~%>-eSN AOoS QlSpdlCHt6 la9L nlRnL announced that the President would not make curt and peremptory rejection or the offer nor bluntly demand an un- conditional surrender now, because the American government did not propose to fall into the light of supplying the German militarists with a means of bol- stering up their argument that the Ger mans are fighting a defensive" war, and that the announced objects of the allies are only to destroy them" That Is precisely what President Wilson has avoided. He has met what the allied diplomats described as a trick with a move which will expose it. if a trick it be. He has called upon the German government for an evidence of it's good faith, and should Sr not be forthcom- Ing. he has left with the German leaders the problem of explaining 10 their own people. already clamoring for peace. why they are not willing to accept it.
 PEOPLE OR MILITARISTS?
 From that point the President passes to another, which will develop, as the exchange proceeds, whether the United States and the allies will deal, except on the battlefield, with the German govern ment as at present constituted The President tells the chancellor that he feels he is justified in asking whether NNaS ly for the constituted authorities of the empire who have, so far, conducted the war" This will' develop whether Maxi milan speaks for the German militarists, whom the President has denounced as unworthy of any trust, and who regard ed treaties as scrap of paper,' or whether he speaks with the force of the people of nation. This is regarded as probably the most important part of the t;o,, ;%f- potent possibilities of the most far-reach- ing effect in Germany where an active allied propaganda has been making rapid headway in awakening the German peo- pie to the necessity of assuming the re- responsibilities of their own government and making their own peace.
 To appreciate it's meaning, this part of the Presidents answer must be con- sidered in connection with portion of his speech of September 27 in New fork in which he declared:
 AIDE UTTunJIT HONOR
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-09

As the full significance of the Presidents diplomacy Is disclosed it becomes evident that he has left open the way to peace and at the same time left the miiitarist lead- CTS of the central powers with question they must necessarily an- swer in q way that will lead to peace or confront them with an embarrassing situation in their own countries.
