Wilson Will
 Fire First
 Gun in Drive
Of Fourth Liberty Loan in Speech at New York City
 Friday Night.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 25.-President Wilson will launch the fourth Liberty loan campaign with an address Fri day night in New York city.
 The president previously had decid- ed that he could not leave Washington to make an extended speaking tour on behalf of the loan, but he consent ed today to speak on the eve of the opening of the three weeks drive.
 Final preparations for the cam paign went steadily ahead today. Treasury department officials took cognizance of widespread reports that no subscriptions of less than S2O0 would be accepted for the Fourth loan and that no $50 bonds would be issued.
 As proving the falsity of these ru- mors officials pointed to the fact that a larger proportion of $50 bonds have been printed this time than ever be- fore and to the additional fact that loan loan committees have instruct ions to make strong efforts to sell these 'baby bonds" to persons of very small means who are inclined not to participate in the loan.
 About 100000 bonds, mainly of small denominations, have been fin ished by the bureau of printing and engraving today and these were the way to federal reserve district head quarters.

Frank and Open Admission German Chancellor of the
 Plight of Germany.
CAN BE NO TALK OF
 PEACE AT THIS TIME
Everywhere in Won Hert- ling's Speech Shows In sincerity and Limi
 tations.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 25.-There was just one thing in Chancellor Von Hert- ling's speech which interested Ameri- can officials.
 It was his frank and open admission of the seriousness of the internal sit uation in Germany.
 Following so closely upon the formal declaration by the social Democrats upon which their party would consent to participate in the government, the speech was regarded as intended pri- marily for internal consumption in Germany.
 It is regarded as part of plan to persuade the Socialists to come to the aid of the government in its grave crisis by demonstrating that there are no substantial difference of principle between their party and the govern ment.
 The marked similarity between the statements made by Won Hertling re- garding the basis of peace and those principles laid down by the socialists at once was noticed.
 When attention was directed to
 
 had no response from the United States to his proposal last February to accept in principle the conditions of peace laid down by President Wilson, officials pointed out that the president himself had effectually exposed the insincerety of Von Hertling's proposal when, in his Baltimore speech he pcin- ted to the crime against Russia as a sufficient reason for rejecting any off, fer to discuss peace "Brest-Litovsk fashion"
 Furthermore, it was declared that there could be no talk of peace until the last German and Austrian sol dier had been withdrawn or driven from the occupied territory.
 The inclination of the government was to regard the speech as the last movement in the German peace offen- sive and as insincere. and unworthy of consideration, is based upon the feeling that in scarcely single. point does the premier make an unqualified declaration of adherence to the IA principles laid down by President Will son.
 Everywhere in his speech officials said there were limitations and quali- fications. Official Washington notic- ed the admission of the deep discon- tent existing among great masses of the German people. Through neutral countries have come reports of dis organization: mutiny, rioting and des- peration in Germany, but it remained for the German chancellor himself to add the official confirmation which was wanting.

Nearly Two Million Dollars The Exact Figures Re-
 ceived State $1,714,0O0
AGAINST $1,032,OOO
 THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
Plans Now Perfected For Launching the Tremen-
 dous Drive Saturday.

Jefferson county's quOtG for the Fourth Liberty loan has been placed at $1,714,0O0.
 The quota for Jefferson county in the previous loan was $1.032(O00
 A message from w. L. Hemingway. State Chairman to Frank Tomlinson, county chalrman. announced this fact late yesterday afternoon.
 This quota is much larger than the previous loan, but it is believed by the local Liberty Loan campaigners that it will be reached in a very short time.
 A telegram received Wednesday morning by Chairman Tomlinson from w. R. Compton, chairman for the Eighth Federal Reserve District Loan Organization, states:
 "I feel sure that the people of ,Jer- ferson county will respond heartily to raise this quota"
 "The fight is on your proportion of the loan. and you know we'll the rgreaat American army of income producers do a days work as we'll as our markets boast int otherwise go forward that the misgivirgs deter mined to win and win quickly.
 q know we can depend on your county to support it's part of the line. That dollars are cheap beside human sacrifice but it is necessary that hu- man sacrifices be minimized, more dollars mean earlier peace.
 'Send news quickly of your suc- cess that others may be stimulated to greater endeavOr.'
 Plans Perfected.
 Following the address of R. o. Chenevert, Canadian soldier from the trenches and cartoon sketches and pithy comment from Alton B. Pack ard before an audience of over two thousand people at the Tabernacle Wednesday afternoon, the Jefferson county Liberty Loan Organization held an executive meeting.
 Plans were outlined and discussed for the formal launching of the drive starting Saturday morning. All pre- cinct captains and workers were given final instructions.
 Voluntary Subscriptions.
 On Sunday morning appeals fo! volunteer subscriptions will be made from the pulpits. Places for the re- ceiving of voluntary subscriptions turnout the campaign will be an- nounced today or tomorrow. The postoffice. the court house will be two of the places where voluntary subscriptions may be made.
 The drive starts Saturday morning and will continue until Jefferson county's quota is reached or is over subscribed. From present prospects the campaign will he quick and sue cessful one.
 Everything has been systematized for the carrying out of the work speedily and systematically. Every citizen in Pine Bluff will be person ally canvassed during the campaign A card index system has been made and notations will be made of sub scriptions and subscribers as the campaign progresses
