THIRTY PER CENT SUBSCRIBED.
Fourth Loan Slightly Under the Third
Loan at Similar Time.

Washington, D. c., Oct. l0.-In answer
to the insistent question, how is the
! fourth Liberty koan really going, a com
parison to-day Of records during this
campaign with those of the third loan
showed these facts;
The fourth campaign OF three weeks is
half gone, and 81 ,7pI ,463 200 in subscrip-
tions, or 80 per cent of the six billions
sought have been reported When the
third campaign was half over, $l,3Tl.-
100000, 33 per cent Of the total finally
reached, had been subscribed. This rec.
ord in the third loan drive, 100000. 900
less than at the corresponding stage of
the present drive, was achieved in two
weeks, as compared with ten days which
have passed in the current campaign.
These facts seem to show that prog
ress in the fourth loan is comparable to
that of the third, which was highly sue
cessful Treasury officials point out,
however, that the six billion dollar cred.
it which the people now are trying to
accumulate for the governments use is
twice as large as that sought in the third
campaign and is nearly so per cent
greater than the $4,l76,O00,0o0 actually
subscribed in the third !oan.
In the present campaign, larger in.
flow of subscriptions from big business
interests and individuals of wealth is
expected. To large extent, however.
these already have been entered, and are
included in the current totals.
Hence the cautionary plea that ev.
cry individual should double his third
loan subscription.
More than $l3,000,000 has been sub.
seribed in the navy toward the fourth
loan, Rear Admiral Cowie reported to-
day.

Most telling in its immediate effect i:
The thrust by Field Marshal Haig south
east of Cambria, where American troops
also are operating. The British com
mander has swung the main direction OF
bis drive northeastward and already has
pushed to within two miles of the im-
portant railway junction of lie Cateau.
The taking Of lie Cateau, which seems
imminent, will cut the last of the lateral
rallway lines connecting the German
borthern front with the great salient
bf Laon and apparently will make in
evitable the evacuation Of the entire
Laon area
Before lie Cateau the British are on a
line fully ten miles in advance of the
longitudinal line running between Cam
brai and ST. Quentin, having swept
through the great part of this area in
great strides behind disorganized enc

reported to be stiffening during the
plight, however, indicating that a stand
might be made in an effort to save the
railway junction as long as possible from
capture.
Meanwhile, farther south, the French

tral direction of Guise. They have made
particularly notable progress to the east

columns have passed Fontaine- Notre
Dame, nearly six miles directly east Of
st. Quentin This push is likewise hav-
ing marked effect in closing the Laon
pocket.
In the north the wedge driven from

army is advancing in the direction of
