It's shame the company has

know what time the car Is due.
But from all indications he does
not, and keeps 1t there until he

you don't have to be a street car
men to know that all cars must
not be at the same place at the

The idea of hauling the work

any street car man will see the
necessity of 1t in few days

let us lay aside all prejudice and
criticism and make it a success.
Because those industries on the
tide flats are just little too far
from any residence district for
men to walk and no chance to
live closer without forcing the

is a short haul and a small
amount of track and other equip

GERMAN
LINES FAIL TO
HALT ADVANCE
First Two Lines Prepared for
Retreat From Belgium AL
ready Broken.
iBy Associated Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FLANDERS, Oct. 1S--In their plans
for retirement from Belgium the
Germans had prepared three success
sive lines upon each one of which they
intended to halt and reform.
According to captured German Of
ficers the two first lines already have
been broken by the allied advance and
the third one will be reached In a few
days.
At the beginning of the allied attack,
October IA, there were eight divisions
in the Germans first lines. These
were reinforced by seven new divi-
sions, but the new divisions already
were exhausted and were of little
help.
Continue Atrocities.
During the night of October 1916,
two divisions from the Russian front
were thrown into the battle, but their
strength had been greatly reduced and
their morale was very weak. The II
divisions have lost heavily in prison
ers, killed and wounded.
The retreating Germans continue
acts of barbarity. German soldiers
threw bombs into a dugout where CIV
ilian refugees had sought shelter and
were waiting for liberation.

German Banker Is

HAVANA, Oct 18.-Henry Upmann,
prominent German banker of Havana,
president of the German club and one

held incomunicade in his residence
here in connection with the general
rounding up by the Cuban secret sery-
ice department of enemy subjects
whose names have figured In the trad

A careful search OF Upmann's resi-

an autograph letter from the German
kaiser and caricatures of the Belgian
king are said however, to have been
found among his effects

America Dares Not Fail

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Secretary
McAdoo today telegraphed the follow
ing statement to all the daily news
papers of the United States:
Subscriptions reported and estimat-
ed up to noon Thursday amount to s4,-
000, 100000, leaving at least $1,000, ,000.-
600 to complete the fourth Liberty
Lean. Only two days are left within
which to raise this vast sum. No coun-
try on earth but America could raise
so vast a sum in so short a time.
America can do it and must do it. The
destinies of the world and the hopes
of civilization are centered upon Amer
lea. We shall fail in everything we
have fought for and hope to gain in
this war if the fourth Liberty Loan is
defeated.
Let every true American citizen
today examine himself under the
white light of patriotism and say
whether or not he has done his ut
most in this emergency. The highest
obligations of duty and patriotism
command every true American to go
Immediately to his bank or to his
Liberty Loan Committee and subscribe
to the limit of his ability to the fourth
Liberty bonds. Don't delay. Don't
wait to be urged. Be as quick to do
your part in this fourth Liberty Loan
battle as our soldiers in France are
quick to obey the orders to charge
the enemy.
Buy Liberty bonds on the Install
ment plan If you cannot buy them for
cash. Every patriotic bank will help
you. If every patriotic citizen will do
his duty today victory for the fourth
Liberty Loan is certain. The contin-
ued victories OF our armies in Europe,
the certain defeat of our enemies and
the glorious triumph of the cause of
liberty depend upon what the Ameri-
can people do in the remaining two
days of the fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign, w. G. McAdoo"

the war correspondent of the Petit
Journal from that city.
Tonight at o'clock, near Armen-
there's, an officer shouted to us Lille is
taken We speeded our auto on the
road of victory. Two miles from Lille
two young girls ran out in front of
our auto, crying amid sobs Of joy,
They have gone, they have gone
Vivent les Anglais, vive la France!
We went little farther and then a
huge shellhole obliged us to abandon
our machine and proceed on foot
Two more girls who had run out of
the city to meet their deliverers SOON
er, cried, while tears streamed down
their cheeks, They won't come

but crowd, every member of which
was weeping, seized us. One man
climbed on our shoulders.
Another shouted to us My name is
Guiselin. l am city counsellor. The
Germans offered me million to be-
tray my country. The towards! The
cowards!' and then he burst into Sob
bins.
Carried by the crowd, we arrived
at the city hall. Deputy Mayor Bau-

tered, everyone rushed to embrace u.s.

our victory. A shout went up that

cheers rang out. Wevtold of the Tur-

again the crowd cheered. Then we
told them that President Wilson had
refused to grant an armistice and de-
manded Emperor Williams head The
crowd, in frenzy, tossed everything
it could lay hands ON into the air"
AT the prefecture, the acting pre-
feet, M. Regnier, embraced us and
there was fresh outburst of cheering
from the crowd. 1t was for Mayor
Delsalle and for his son, French Of

BERNE, Oct. 18.-President Viii
sons reply to the German note has
created a new state of affairs in dip
lomatic discussions relative to peace,
it is reported here from German
sources and the German reply, it is
said, will make, it clearly understood
that the tone employed by the presi-
dent was open to objections.
There have been passionate discus
sions of the presidents reply at meet
ings of all the groups of the Reichstag
but no line of policy has been deter
mined, although there has been pro-
longed deliberations on the subject.
The presence of Field Marshal Hin
denburg in Berlin is believed to fore
shadow the drafting of the German
reply to Mr.. Wilson. Under the cir
cumstances it is uncertain whether the
Reichstag will meet tomorrow In
any case there will be no plenary
meeting Of the parliament before the
reply is forwarded. Then there will
be full dress debate, in which the
Socialists notably Friedrich Ebert,
vice president Social democratic
party, and Gustav Noske, Socialist
member of the Reichstag will take
part.
