 ID COME IN COURT

Judge Lyman yesterday issued an order requiring A. McLain, represent ative of the Mckay interests in Mon treal and Florence Wilkes, a nurse. to appear for examination in his court at 9:3O o'clock Monday morning.
 The order was issued on the petition Of Joseph Lacey, San Francisco at- torney who represents Mrs. Mckay. Mrs. Mckay has also been cited to ap- pear at this time on the petition of Richard E. Sloan, counsel for Edward Mckay who is contesting his brothers will in which he left all but s1,0OO of his $1,200,000 to his widow, who has been called his common law wife by relatives of the dead man.
 McLain, who is secretary of the Me- Kay Montreal interests was purchas- ing his ticket for Canada when served. It is understood he will be closely questioned relative to a letter alleged to have been written by Angus Mckay and having to do with the disposition of his estate. The nurse who was with the McKays during the last illness Of Angus Mckay will also be called to testify in regard to the letter of which Mrs. Mckay denies all knowledge.
 Mir. Lacey stated yesterday that his client was seriously i'll and he doubted if she would be in fit condition to ap- pear in court. If necessary he will procure a physicians certificate as to her unfitness.

Nearly Two Million Men
 Now In France-Another Two Million Prepared To Go-Big Gains Reported
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-With more than 1,900,00O American troops em- parked for the front and an army of 2,000,000 men in preparation to make victory certain, General March, chief of staff at his weekly conference today, sounded an urgent call for popular support for the fourth Liberty loan in order that the American armies may have full support.
 This is no time to hang back with the idea that the war is over," General March said. "The thing to do is to hurl at the Hun our maximum re- sources in men and money and make victory certain
 The chief of staff prefaced his re- view of military operations with an outline of the absolute need that ample funds be forthcoming to back up the fighting men at the front.
 Biggest Gain Since August
 "The war department" he said. "has had the draft ages changed so as to se- cure more than two million additional first class fighting men and has de- manded of congress over eight billion dollars to raise, equip, train and trans port this victory army to France. The fourth liberty loan is now before the people of the United States without this financial backing nothing can be accomplished.
 Turning to the great war map, Gen eral March pointed out the sweeping advance of the Anglo American forces in the Cambrai-St. Quentin region. With the capture of Le Cateau, he said the British have gained fourteen miles in three days, more than they gained in any consecutive three days since they first started their drive east of | Amiens in August"
 The enemy's resistance temporarily at least was badly shaken and disor- ganiZed,' General March said. At Le Cateau the British are only 14 miles l from Aulnoye. This town is a very inn portant strategical point. It is the junc- l tion of the main railroad which I have | spoken about before, running from Valenciennes through to Metz, and te the other great northern artery, called the Liege- Maubege railway. These two
 roads join at this point. An advance O about nine miles in this direction vii put that junction under gunfire and i
 is a point of vital importance.
