MUNTTTON PLANTS
OF BRITAIN HAVE
BIG DAILY OUTPUT

London, Oct. 10.-Delayed.) J.
Colonel Winston Spencer Church
ill, minister of munitions, speaking
at Leeds yesterday, said that the
output of shells in British NUM-
ton plants is now 10000 tons
daily. He remarked that prepara-
tions must be made for continuing
the war on a still larger scale and
with still larger resources through
1919.
I'VE are dealing with a crafty
enemy who is still in possession OF
enormous resources" he said.
Even II he evacuates France and
Belgium that will not assure the
acceptance OF our Indispensable
terms, for he can then stand on his
own strongly fortified frontier. We
must therefore not slacken our
output of munitions, as t will be
necessary for France and England
to supply a portion of the arma-
ment and equipment for the Amer
ican forces.
THE Americans have made a
most generous effort. They are
sending men to Europe far in ad-
vance or the development OF thelF
own great munitions program
Therefore our exe-tions must be
continuous if we are to make good
our promises to those who are hur-
rying across the Atlantic to our
aid. Without this equipment we
cannot have the assistant % OF those
valiant American troops who will
be wanted to strike the final blow

Hope Liberty Day
VIII Boost Loan
to Assure Success

Washington, Oct. 12.-Set aside
as Liberty day" in a proclamation
issued by President Wilson, today
was expected to be marked by a
great outpouring of subscriptions
to the fourth Liberty loan. By yir-
tue of being also Discovery day, 1t
was a legal holiday in many states
and in others was observed in rec
oguition of the presidents procla-
nation.
Subscriptions to the loan report
ed in the eve of Liberty day were
$2,269 ,S76, 200, which is less in com
parison with the amount to be rails
ed than at similar period in any
previous campaign. With a big
lump in total subscriptions expect
ed TO result from today's activities,
treasury officials were optimistic.
However. they regarded today as
the critical day in the campaign
Onlv efforts of an unusual nature
can make the loan a success If the
American people today fail to do
their part. some of them said.
Reports received from all of the
10 federal reserve districts indlcat-
ed extensive preparations had been
made TO give every person an op-
portunity to buy not only bonds
hut more bonds. Double your
subscriptions" was the motto for
the DAVIS celebration in many com
munities.

day bv reviewing a great Liberty
dav parade in New York Secre-
tarv McAdoo was scheduled to de-
liver an address in Chicago.

LESS THAN DOZEN
SUBS OPERATE AT
TIME SAYS SIMS

London. Oct. 11-Vice Admiral
Sims. speaking yesterday at Lord
luncheon for visiting
American editors said that the av-
erage number of enemy submarines
operating against merchant ships
and transports across the Atlantic
was about eight or nine, but that
sometimes it ran up to twelve or
thirteen. That was all the subma-
rines the enemy could keep out at
a time, he declared.
Around the British Isles. Vice
admiral Sims said there were about
three thousand anti-submarine craft
il operation day and night. OF
American craft there were 160 and
il was about the same in the Medi-
terranean.
The British grand feet continues
tc come out of port whenever it
wants to and goes wherever it
pleases around the North sea. The
grand feet is enable to DO so sim
ply because it is surrounded by an
area carefully patroled by screens
of destroyers within which it
would be suicidal for a submarine
TO show its nose.
The convoy system, Vice Admiral
Sims explained, is nothing else
than a grand feet of merchant yes
sells surrounded by a screen which
makes it very dangerous for a sub
marine to make an attack. There
are about five thousand anti-sub-
marine craft in the open sea today
cutting out mines. escorting troop
ships and merchant vessels and
making it possible for the allies To
win the war.

365 US. Soldiers Are Lost At Sea
Asserts Military
Power of Enemy
Is Under Control

London, Friday, Oct 11-Ger-
man military power has already
been placed under civil control in
complete and permanent fashion.
SO far as politics is concerned, &C
cording to an interview with
Matthias Erzberger, the Centrist
leader of the reichstag, sent out by
the German government wireless
service. This interview is being
published with the evident inten-
ton of influencing public opinion
abroad.
Thus General Won Stein, the
Prussian war minister, had to be
eliminated because he had always
worked against a peace oy under
standing, the interview says. Gen
eral Scheuch, his successor. is said
to be a man of liberal views and
the first non-Prussian ever to oc-
cupy the position. Two command
ing generals, Won Wellington and
Won Haehmiset, have been removed
because they were considered the
embodiment OF militarism.
All decisions of commanding
generals in the interior of Germany
concerning administrative func-
tions are made dependent upon the
approval of the presidents of prov
inces, with an appeal to General
Scheuch and finally to tho chancel
lor. who is legally responsible ac-
cording to ErZberger. Herr Won
Berg, chief of Emperor Williams
civilian cabinet, had to resign be-
cause he had interfered during the
formation of the new cabinet in a
manner which aroused the indigna-
tion of the majority parties of the
reichstag ErZberger says that this
makes it evident that militarism
has been forever removed from
Germany.
Asked whether he would promote
the principles of league OF ma
tions, Erzberger replied: That is
just what l mean to do. States
must altogether desist from the ap
plication of force in the settlement
of international disputes. This nat
uralIy will mean that they must re-
nounce part of their sovereignty
but they may obtain. through the
league mutual protection against
arbitrary force"
Arguing that all states must un-
reservedly submit their disputes to
arbitration, Erzberber says thai
the league of nations must estab-
lish an organization of imperial
courts and guarantee the execution
of verdicts by those tribunals.
Members of these courts, however.
must always be appointed with the
consent of the peoples concerned,
so that all nations will have con-
fidence in the actions of the courts.
he says.
Belgium has been wronged by
Germany and reparation is due.
Erzberger admits, but he adds, lit
is a question of law and must be
settled in legal manner by means
of a court of arbitration set up by
a league of nations"
ErZberger concludes by saying
that he has always held these
views and would not have joined
the government if he had not been
convinced that the government
shares them.

MILEAGE BOOKS ON
SALE NEXT WEEK
(By Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-Passen-
ger mileage books. Interchangeable
and good on any railroad will be plac-
ed on sale a week from today. They
will be accepted in payment of pas
senger fares on trains, in exchange for
tickets and for extra baggage charges.
Two books are being prepared-one
with 900 coupons each coupon worth
three cents or one mile of travel, to
be sold for $50, with the addition OF
$40 war tax collected when the book
is bought and another with 500 cou-
pons, selling for SIS with $1.20 addi-
tional war tax.
Each book is to be transferable and
may be used for any number of pas
sengers at the same time. Travellers
may present these books to conduc-
tors in trains if they wish, but are ad-
vised to have the mileage script eX-
changed for tickets between points
where there are long an dsrhot routes
in order to gain advantage of the short
err distance and lowest charge.
Railroad officials desired not to
moke the mileage script acceptable for
Pullman charges because the war tax
on berths or parlor car seats is ten
per cent or two per cent higher than
on passenger fares. This would have
the collection OF war
taxes.
