Evidence OF seeming Indifference by
the nation to the success of the Fourth
Liberty Loan of $4,000. 100000 came TO
hand again yesterday when the Treas
ury Department announced late yester-
day that total subscriptions for the first
eleven days OF the loan were only ST.
269, 1915, 200, 81 per cent. Of the total,
which must be rolled up by midnight
October 10.
The figures were only S245. 1000. 900 in
excess of those for the previous ten
days The gain on the eleventh day
is considered very disappointing in view
OF the increased warnings of failure IL
purchases were not speeded up.
Treasury Omcials Disappointed.
The dissatisfaction with which the
which subscriptions are coming in found
reflection in tpe Treasury's review,
which last night said:
I'm the face Of high official pleas for
united support OF the loan and en-
phatc declarations that peace talk
should not cause a slackening of SUBJ
| scribing this result and the outlook for
the success OF the loan Is distinctly dis
appointing"
Rumors reaching headquarters to-day
indicating suspicion that actual figures
were being held back drew from the
Treasury this denial:
"Inasmuch as the belief is prevalent in
some quarters that reports on subscrip-
| tions are being withheld in an endeavor
to create n bear impression II seems
| proper to explain the manner in which
the official figures are obtained and made
public. Every afternoon at o'clock
Washington time the twelve Federal Re-
serve banks OF the country report to the
Treasury Department every subscription
made through Incorporated banks and
trust companies on which deposits of 10
per cent. have been paid. These reports
are made public absolutely without
change.
THE figures are taken directly from
| kilograms sent by the Governor OF each
| Federal Reserve bank and Incorporated
! into the press statement. No attempt is
! made to create by those figures either a
good OF a bad impression OF the manner
in which the loan Is progressing. The
whole truth of the situation is told by
the figures, and they speak for them
selves.
briefly stated, the situation tonight
is that $532, 200. 900 must be subscribed
on every one of the remaining seven
working days of the loan II the total
asked by Secretary McAdoo is to be OBJ
tanned"

Copyright. 1918; all rights reserved.
7 ,ONDON, Oct. 11.-If an
armistice is granted to the
Germans, as they haye requested,
it is learned here on high au-
thority that the Allies will de-
mand permission to occupy Ger
man territory as a guarantee of
good faith. Opinion in well in
formed circles is that the Allies
will demand the occupation of
Essen, the German munition
centre and home of the Krupp
industries, and also Metz, the
German stronghold in Lorraine
and the fortified gateway to the
Rhine Valley.
The same authority reports
that Germany is willing to accept
these conditions and asserts that
on no other terms will an
armistice be considered. On any
other conditions, it is argued, an
armistice would conform to the
plans of the Germans, allowing
them time to fortify during the
winter along the line of the
Meuse unless the allied armies in
the meantime force them to a
further retreat.

RISKING WRECK

American Soldiers Are Like
Statues as Death Seems

RAMMED BY SISTER SHIP
Survivors, Suffering From Ex-

RAMMED BY SISTER SHIP
Special Cable Despatch to TIE suS.


LoNDoN, Oct. 11.-At least 375
American soldiers are feared to have
been lost when the transport Otranto
was sunk in collision with the PENN
sular and Oriental steamship Kash-
mir Off the Irish coast. The ships
we're in the same convoy.
The disaster occurred in terribly
wild weather. The boats were
smashed as quickly as they were
launched, the occupants drowning in
full view Of their helpless comrades
lining the sides of the sinking ship.
About 800 survivors, many of them
injured and all suffering terribly
from the exposure, are being cared
for in hospitals in an Irish port.
Owing to the rocky. rugged coast
there is little hope that many
reached shore alive.
Life Boats Used for Buffers.
The British destroyer Mounsey gal
lantly dashed Through. &mnnntainou
seas and despite great peril took off
about 500 American soldiers and
members of the crew. The destroyer
was in momentary danger of being
dashed to pieces against the side OF
the f1oundering steamer and 1t seems
a miracle that she was able to get
alongside.
The lifeboats of the steamer were
lowered and these acted as n buffer
between the stricken transport and
the destroyer. The loss Of life would
have been much greater had 1t not
been for the presence of the destroyer,
as 1t would have been impossible for
the small boats to live in the raging
seas.
There was no panic aboard. The
American soldiers, many of whom
were on their first sea trip. lived up
TO the finest traditions of the sea.
They lined up on the ships deck and
obeyed orders with perfect discipline.
The most tragic moment was when
the command came for the men to
lump to save themselves. The de-
stroyer appeared so small beside the
big transport that many of the Ameri-
can Iandsmen thought 1t would be
safer to remain aboard the transport.
Many Fall Between Vessels.
This accounts In part for the heavy
loss, as many more could have been
saved had they chosen to jump. 1t
was a dizzy jump from the deck OF
The Otranto to the deck of the de-
Stroyer, but many made it in safety.
Many others missed and sank 10 u
tragic death between the two vessels
or we're crushed between them.
A rescued officer said: 1.-The
American soldiers lined up at orders
as though ON parade and stood at
attention like statues. They never
wavered from their military forma'
tion while the gale shrieked and the
ship pitched and great waves washed
over her decks, exemplifying the best
traditions of the American army fol
heroism and discipline.
Another officer said that when the
bugle sounded to abandon ship 1t was
