 The treasury reviews was as fol- lows:
 "Inasmuch the belief in some quar- ters that reports on subscriptions are being withheld in an endeavor to create a bear impression, it seems proper to explain the manner in which the official figures are obtain en and made public.
 Every afternoon at three o'clock Washington time, the twelve federal reserve banks of the country report to the treasury department every subscription made through incorpor- ated banks and trust companies on which deposits of ten percent have been made.
 These reports are made public absolutely without change.
 ''The figures are taken directly from telegrams sent by the governor of each federal reserve bank and in- corporated into the press statement.
 No attempt is made to create by 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 themselves"
 The loan review added:
 Briefly stated. the subscription to- night is that $532.000,000 must be subscribed on every one of the re- maining seven working days of the loan if the total asked for by Secre- tary McAdoo is to be obtained"
 One Third Is Raised.
 Only 37 percent of the six billions has been raised. Subscriptions by districts as reported include:

Meanwhile there have been sent broadcast further reports that Aus tria-Hungary and Turkey, seeing that the trend of events spells ultimate defeat, have informed Germany that they will accept President Wilson's peace terms.
 Notwithstanding the advantage that are being achieved over the common enemy on the battle fronts and the peace feelers in the air, President Wilson, Secretary of State Lansing, Secretary of the treasury, McAdoo, and in fact, all the high officials of the government are warning the Am srican citizenry that the situation still is critical and that everyone should rally to the support Of the Fourth Liberty loan.
 Steady Advances.
 All along the battle front the al- lied troops are advanvcing.
 From the south of Douai to the east of Laon, the enemy everywhere is giving ground eastward.
 The famous Chemin Des Danes. the ridge which the Germans had an in- superable barrier to an advance north ward from Soissons, is being evacu- atcd, while in Champagne and along the Mouse river farther eastward the French and American troops are pushing further forward northward their lines in the great convergrng movement which is fast driving the enemy from Belgium and the great CT portion of invaded France to- ward his own borders.

charge of Turkish affairs in the United States and through which may peace proposal from Constanti- noEle undoubtedly would be trans mitted. it was said no intimation had come from Madrid that communi- cation of this nature might be ex- pected.
 Won't Be Surprise.
 Definite peace proposals by Tur- key would occasion little surprise in official circles here, however.
 It was announced that Turkey was to despatch note similar to that sent by Germany and Austria -Hun- gary and in view of the fact that none has been received, there has been a feeling in some quarters for several days that very definite ap- peal might be forthcoming soon.
 The setting up of new govern lnent composed of clements less pro- German than the previous cabinet has strengthened the belief that Tur- key might decide to offer peace on terms similar to those accepted by Bulgaria.
 Austria on "Band Wagon"
 Acceptance by Austria-Hungary and Turkey of President Wilson's terms reported in an Amsterdam dis patch also would not be surprising, it was said.
 Conditions in both countries are known to be favorable to the ending of the war at the earliest possible moment.
 The next move of the German chancellor is being awaited by off, cials here with equanimity.
 Keep Up Fight.
 This feeling is intensified because there is not the slightest intention to slacken the tremendous general offensive of the entente and Ameri- can forces, which is progressing so rapidly and successfully that every days delay on the part of the Ger man government brings nearer it's involuntary compliance with the conditions laid down by President Wilson that German soldiers must be withdrawn from occupied territory before there can be any discussion
