WASHINGTON. Oct 4.-The~ na- ton is marching toward it's six billion dollar Liberty Loan goal at just u little more than half the speed re- quired to maintain a daily subscrip- tion rate of s315,000.O00 Bond sales officially tabulated from reports of banks were announced tonight by the treasury as $S55, 132, 900. or an increase of s229,000,0O0 in the last 24 hours.
 This represents results for the five working days up to last night At the standard rate of $315,000000 day, the record by, this time should have been $1.575. 100000. National headquar ters today issued a reminder that only 13 working days remain before the subscription period ends, October 10.
 Epidemic Retards Loan Workers
 Epdemics of influenza have com pelled the abandonment of public loan meetings in scores of cities. and has made victims of hundreds of canvass CTS and speakers. but reports to head quarters today told of the quick change of tactics in many communities by substituting house to house canvass ing for mass meetings.
 Oregon and Montana. today joined Iowa in the list of states which have lUelT quotas. In proportion of quota already sub scribed the St. Louis district leads all other districts with AZ per cent and Boston, despite it's being hard hit by influenza, follows with 2S per cent The New York district. though pro- ducing the greatest aggregate of sub scriptions. is sixth among the II dis tricts reporting. In the whole country ic net ah 4 scribed.
 Twelfth District Now Third
 Subscriptions and percentages of quotas by districts are as follows:
 St. Louis, s109, ,356,400. .42O: Boston. s143,637,S50, .2S7; San Francisco. s73.- 113.900. .1S1: Cleveland.

 Rural districts throughout the west seem to be farther progressed toward their goals than urban communities although some farming districts have delayed the opening of their campaign to let farmers get pressing work out of the way.
 Secretary Appeals to Farmers
 To stimulate farmers even more Secretary Houston tonight issued an appeal, saying:
 "The Fourth Liberty Loan will not tail for lack of support of American farmers. One of the most strikinu features of the Third Liberty Loan was the support given it by the farmers and rural populations. But now we have greater effort to make. With out stint or limit let us buy Liberty Bonds that We may attain our ob- jective-a righteous and lasting world peace.'
 Among the records of states or com munities rel'S-ted today was that of Oregon. which has rolled up thirty Der cent over subscription, with more subscribers already than it had in the third loan.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 4.-The Ameri- cans are filling continually growing amount of space in the battle narra- tives of the German war correspon- dents. The former semi i-contemptuous references to their scanty, numbers or fighting spir1 are now rare. They are being taken very seriously.
 Both Schuermann and Dr. Rooster. who write for the Frankfort Gazette and the Berlin Vorwaerts, respectively, upon the testimony of German soldiers themselves, state that the Americans are cool and daring in attack, so that those who oppose them in recent Ar goDne fighting reap extra praise for holding out as long as they did Schuermann says that the latest re hears is that Metz is to be turned over to President Wilson,

 The Franco-American thrust is near ing Vouziers. a rail junction of inn portance to the enemy. On the other side of the Reims sector. the French already are on the Aisne in the vicinity of Berryau-Bac and the pinching out of the pocket probably will permit ex- tension of the line along the general course Of the Aisne- Suippe rivers to a iuncture with the Franco Americans in the high ground between these two rivers.

FURIOUS FIGHTING BY BRITISH KEEPS
 BOCHES RUNNING

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. oct f. 5 p. m.-(By the As sociated Press)-There has been fight ing of the most furious nature along the British front today. This has been true especially along the Beaurevoir line, in the region east of Le Catelet.
 The Germans have launched six powerful counter attacks during the past A hours. As result of one of them the British withdrew for mom- ent from Beaurevoir itself and from Montbrehain to the western outskirts of the village.
 For these attacks the Germans used two divisions which had been released from the line through the capture by the French of St. Quentin. All other counter offensives failed utterly. At the end of them bodies of German dead were piled high as a result of the rifle machine gun and shell fire and the British were in possession of vital lines of the German defenses.
 The breach that has been made in the system of defense here is narr row one as yet. For that reason the armored cars which went out to it last night reconnoitered deeply around new positions and then returned. Civilians Escaping Rapidly The Germans now seem to be most active on either side of the breach. Apparently they fear that efforts will be made to widen it. Meantime the roads and railways everywhere in the rear are crowded with eastbound traf- fife. The civilians are being evacuated 1 from many towns.
 Before the counter attack on Mont brehain, 120 French civilians who had been in German hands since 1914, and who hid in cellars during the British bombardment, were rescued and brought back to freedom. On many other parts of the front being ad- vanced over more civilians have been released.
 In Flanders today the advance of the allied troops seemed slow. because the bad roads and soggy ground made it impossible for them to negotiate the terrain at many places. The soldiers fighting here are caked with mud Many of them have had to wade hip- deep through the ooze while fighting their way forward
