PARIS, October S.-The forward
sweep of the Americans is progressing
brilliantly, according to advices re-
ce!ved T.. L. LiAa-ta .ni= Afternoon.
Evening star., 1918-10-06

Everything is in readiness for the
great houSe-to-houSe canvass which
will start at 1 o'clock this afternoon
for the liberty loan.
The stage is well set for this can
will be in marked contrast with the
other great liberty loan demonstra-
tions which have been held here
There will be no music or parading
10 oratory or flag waving or ringing
of bells. In fact there will be abso-
lutely no effort toward the spectacu-
lar.
1t will be a dignifed procedure.
Throughout the city more than $500
man and woman volunteers will be
seriously engaged in a patriotic en-
deavor to raise WaShington'S fourth
liberty loan quota Of s27.S0S,000.
All Will Get Chance.
Simultaneously $500 door bells of
homes in all sections OF the city will be
rung at / O'clock this afternoon, thus
starting the big undertaking on it's
way. These 1850 patriots will continue
at their task until the last house in
Washington has been visited.
Every resident of Washington, whether
permanent or temporary, will be given
ain opportunity to enter his or her pledge
this afternoon for fourth liberty bond
and thereby have his or her name placed
on the nations honor roll of the greatest
and most tremendous war loan ever
foated by this or any other nation
The city has been divided into 200 dis
tricts and each district will be solicited
by a team of twenty or more persons
Included among the 200 team captains
and the $500 volunteer workers are men
and women high in official, business and
professional life in the capital.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
himself will be one of the canvassers
day that on this occasion he will be
w. G. McAdoo, citizen of Washington
and that he wants to sec his home town
meet the present emergency brayely
and lead the country in loan sub
scriptions.
Many Professions Represented.
Among the volunteer canvassers
there also VIII be bank presidents,
prominent business men, lawyers,
doctors, insurance. government work
ers, prominent representatives of or
ganized labor, merchants, mechanics,
and, in fact, representatives of every
class of men and women, all engaged
in an earnest endeavor to make pos
sible the successful carrying out of the
house selling plan which was decided
upon by the local committee when
the spread of influenza made it neces-
sary to abandon all rallies and in
door meetings and gatherings.
I The liberty loan committee forty
eight hours ago decided to abandon
altogether plans which it had taken
months to prepare. and determined to
place the problem squarely before the
people of Washington for their seri-
Gus and conscientious action
The wisdom of this course, and the
success of the plan already are as
sured. No stronger evidence of this
IL needed than yesterdays record of
bond sales of any one of the forty-

Expected to Keep It Up.


Proposals will continue to come
through. ard there is no doubt here
that sooner or later as the great task
of driving the Germans out of Bel
gium and France progresses, the Teu-
tonic, alliance will crumble and seek
such terms as were given Bulgaria. In
the meantime, every offer and Sug-
geStiOn is regarded as nothing more
than continuation of the long
waged peace offensive. for the recent
reorganization of the German cabinet
is not regarded as Indicating any real
change of heart in Berlin or as MAX
ing the actual. masters of Germany
any more worthy of trust.
Prince MaXimilian's predecessors
leading through various shades of ar
rOSance and concessions down to Won
Hertling, could not humble themselves
to the point of dealing with the enemy
on the basis of confessed defeat for
the German arms. In the official view
here. Macmillan hopes to find a way
to save Germany from this abaSement
without completely abandoning the
idea of a negotiated peace.
Analyzing the propositions which he
is expected to make, officials find that
they are in general a combina tion OF
the ideas set out in the reichStag res
olution of july, 1917. with those of
Count Burian, the Austrian foreign
demanded by the social democrats at
their latest meetings. Regarding the
first, looking to an Immediate Suspen-
sion of hoSti1itieS, it is suggested that
an armiStice might be granted, or
rather suspension of attack by the
allies agreed to long enough to per-
NIT the central powers to effect with
drawal of their military from all oc-
cupied territory, but even in such case
adequate guarantees certainly would
be eNacted for the honest performance
of this obligation by Germany and
Austria.
The proposal to send plenipotenti-
aries to q neutral place to discuss
questions of d league for international
arbitration and disarmament is re-
garded as transparent effort to
anticipate the peace council and prob
ably would not be entertained for
moment for that reason. The same
objection lies against discussion of
the fedora liZation of Austria, the right
of self-determination of the Russian
border states, restitution and indem-
MITIGATION of Belgium, autonomy for
AlSaceLorraine and the return of the
German colonies. 1t is not doubted
that the reference to Belgium at
tributed to Macmillan involves nav
ment of an indemnity by joint con-
tribution of all the powers, an idea
already scornfully rejected by the
entente, and autonomy for Alsace-
Lorraine probably means a plebiscite,
which would not return those prov
inces to France. now that nearly al,

The reported intention OF Germany.
Austria and Turkey to seek President
Wilson's good offices to arrange an
ar1nistice. like the other moves said 10
be impending, would be received here
as nothing more than a continuance
of the efforts instituted by Count
Burian as far back as last January,
and repeated several times since, to
trap the entente into concessions by
professed acceptance by the central
powers of the terms of settlement laid
Gown by President Wilson.

An Austrian appeal for an armistice

The statement was authorized Of

can government had received no new
peace proposal from Austria. and had
no official information whatever con-
cerning new developments reported to
be impending in the Teutonic cam

are about to be launched. and the only
question is the exact form they will

PARIS EATS MORE HORSES
Prices Rise From % to 40 Cents for
Ordinary Cuts-Supply From
British.

Paris.-A more extended sale OF
horse meat Is counted upon by the city
authorities to relieve the provisions
market. The sale Of horse flesh for
many years has been considerable in
the poorer quarters of Paris. 1t has
increased considerably during the war.
Last year 1884 horses were killed at
the Vanguard slaughter houses. The
increased supply of horse meat had no
depressing effect upon prices, however.
The British army is now the chief
source Of supply. More than $4,000
horses were received from that source
last year, yet the prices went from the
equivalent Of % cents a pound to 40
cents for ordinary cuts and from As to
so cents a pound for the choice.

II herewith call upon all citizens or

such property to another, or of any

may locate such property.

The bureau of investigation, which
has charge of preparing the cases
against violators of the trading with
the enemy act, has been quietly gather
ing evidence OF Il large number of
cases for the past six weeks. The
taking Yer by the government of the
large German plant of the Schultz &
Koertting company of Philadelphia,
Pa, recently was done at the insti-
CATION of this bureau.
Who Is an Enemy.
Who is IN enemy? Every person
or corporation having the custody or
possession Of any property. or having
a beneficial interest in any property
belonging to anyone living within the
boundaries Of Austria, Germany, Bull
garia, or Turkey, or within my terri
tory now occupied by the military
forces of these countries is an alien
enemy. Such persons must report
such property or interest. or lay them
selves open to the penalties provided
by the act, which are a fine Of not
more than $4,000. or Imprisonment
for not more than ten years, or both.
An American citizen in Germany
may be an enemy under the act. Thus
American heiresses who married Ger
man husbands have their incomes from
the United States cut off. A citizen
Of Germany, on the other hand, who
peacefully resides In this country,
obeys the law, and does not engage In
correspondence or trading with persons
within the enemies lines or in per-
nicious activities against the u. s. A.
escapes any interference with his prop
erty. All aliens interned by the wal
department, however, are enemies.

Observation-Disclosures sailing between

mans, probably more in their own In

Norway. Germany for q long while
has not been able to send food to Nor

promised t o do so.
German vessels sailing to Norway
must now have provisions, oil and kerr
osene for the whole round trip. Some
great Norwegian factories producing
articles for export to Germany are run
by German coal Oil and kerosene, as
are fishing vessels obtaining fish for
export to Germany.

ton and is absolutely dependent on
