Rural districts throughout the west seem to be farther progressed toward their goal than urban communities. al- though some farming districts have delayed the opening of their cam paigns to let farmers get pressing work out of the way.
 To stimulate farmers even more. Secretary Houston tonight issued an appeal. saying:
 ''The fourth Liberty Loan will not fail for lack of support of American farmers One of the most striking features of the third Liberty Loan was the support given it by the farming and rural populations. But now we have a greater effort to make. With out stint or limit let us buy Liberty Bonds that we may attain our objec- tive-a righteous and lasting world peace"
 Among the records of states or com munities reported today was that of Oregon. which has rolled up 30 per cent oversubscription, with more sub scribers than it had in the third loan.

 Soon Terry split his men into groups of three and they started to fight their way back to their lines. They climbed from the shell holes and with grenades gradually forced their way back and reached their lines just as other advancing Americans came smashing through.
 On the way back to their own lines Terry's men saw a dead American captain lying in a shell hole. He had five empty cartridges in his pistol and theTs were five dead Germans lying almos' on the outer lip of the crater.

LONDON, Saturday, Oct. 5.-New details of the story of the breaking of the Hindenburg line between Cambrai and St. Quentin are given in accounts of the fight received from British cor respondents. The representative of the Mail, after referring to the Cana dian, British and Australian and New Zealand divisions as units whose daily life was heavy fighting" says:
 "Other divisions had as hard fight ing and as glorious a triumph The Americans also broke through the Hindenburg line Allied airmen had photographed every tunnel mouth and every surface feature at low attitudes and these photographs were carried into action by the American officers as they advanced through the mist
 "The heat and confusion of the bat tie robbed the gallant Americans of some of their proper reward. It was not until yesterday that it was seen how much the Americans had done. Never have the Germans been seen in such thick swarths of dead as along the course the Americans tra- versed."
 Further stirring stories of individual cases of heroism now are available. Father Frank Kelly Of Albany. N r., went over three different tops with the men in one day and administered to the badly wounded. He finished the day with his hair white.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The nation is marching toward it's $6,OOO,OOO.OO0 Liberty Loan goal at just little more than half the speed required to main tain a daily subscription rate of $315.- 100000. Bond sales officially tabu- lated from reports of banks were an- nounced tonight by the treasury as $S55.132,0 ,0OO, or an increase of S229,- 100000 in the last 24 hours. This represents results for the five work ing days up to last night. At the standard rate of S315, 5,000,000 a day, the record by this time should have been S1,575,0 100000. National head quarters today issued a reminder that only 13 working days remain before the subscription period ends, Oct 19.
 Epidemics 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 communi- ties by substituting house to house canyassing for mass meetings.
 Oregon and Montana today joined Iowa in the list of states which have oversubscribed their quotas.
 In proportion of quota already sub scribed, the St. Louis district leads all other districts with 42 per cent, and Boston, despite its being hit hard by influenza, follows with 2S per cent.

HUNDREDS, KILLED
 AND INJURED IN
 PLANT EXPLOSION
Shell Loading Plant at Morgan Near Perth Amboy, New Jersey, Visited by Nurner- GUS Explosions and Fires
cBr Review Leased wIrel

PERTH AMBOY. N. J., Oct 4. - Many men were killed and Scores in iured in a tremendous explosion early tonight at the plant of the T. A. Gil- lespie Shell Loading company at Nor gan. near here The first explosion which shook the countryside for miles and caSsed citizens Of South AmbOy to flee from theiI homes, was follow ed by @ series of less severe explo- sions and by a fire which for hours defied the efforts of fire departments summoned from all nearby cities and towns.
 The number of dead and injured cannot be determined until employees of the plant are checked by roll call tomorrow.
 Estimates late tonight. however. placed the numDer of killed and hurt at from fifty to more than a hundred.
 Ambulances sent from here and car rying twenty-five doctors returned with many of the injured and for fear that the city hospital would not accommodate all the victims a ho- tel was prepared to receive the over flow. Ambulances despatched from Elizabeth and other cities were re- ported to be taking other victims to those cities. United States base hos pital No. at Colonia sent ambulances and doctors to aid in the rescue work.
 Two hundred coast guards stationed here, have been thrown in a cordon about the plant at Morgan and are barring all persons. save rescuers from entering the danger zone.
 The flames have spread from what is known as unit siXty-One, to unit siXty-two, and both of these units ap- pear doomed Units seventy-three and seventy-five are in danger Some headway has been made fighting the fires despite the danger in approach ing the burning buildings.
 The plant covers a large area, which is approximately four miles long and two miles wide, with many buildings which, it is said. 1000 persons, work ing in three shifts, are usually em- ployed.
 Women and girls work on the day shift and it is thought none of them were at the plant tonight.
 A serious fire occurred at the Gil lespie plant in Morgan, known as the Oliver plant, last Saturday, but the workers had plenty of time in which to escape.
 In addition to fire apparatus sent to tonight's fire from surrounding towns, various manufacturing concerns in the sent their own fire con- panies.
 After questioning doctors who re- turned from Morgan with the patients. the police estimated that at least 100 persons had been killed Many others, they said. had been stunned by the force of the explosions but had been able to crawl from the buildings.
 Frantic with fear. women seized their children. rushed into the streets . and seeing a volume of smoke rolling . towards them, ran to the bridge which . leads over the Raritan river towards | Perth Amboy.

 WASHINGTON. Oct Appear ance of American troops in yesterdays fighting west of the forest of Argonns suggested to some observers here to- day the possibility that a new French concentration is in progress anu a new blow is to be expected at any moment. The natural place for tae stroke. it was said. appears to be ne Rheims front where the German lines have already been weakened by the sur render of the St. Thierry plateau.
 The elimination of the pocket Oc- cupied by the Germans just east of Rheims it was argued is already threatened bv the Franco-American northwest of MonthOis and the simul- taneOus forward movement of the French northwest of Rheims. On the latter sector the enemy is withdraw ing closely pursued and the advancing French line is well out into the open ground north of Rheims. Compara- lively little advance by the two wings of this pocket. it is thought, should force a nasty evacuation.
 The FrancO-American thrust is near ing Vouziers. a rail junction of i'm portance tO the enemy. On the other side of the Rheims sector. the French already are on the Aisne in the vicin- ity of Berry-Au-Bac and the pinching out of the pocket probably would per init extension of the line along the general course of the Aisne-Suippe riv- CTS tO a juncture with the Franco

Americans in the high ground between these two rivers
 The result of a successful squeeze operation against the Rheims pocket is full of promising possibilities. for the enemy would no sooner eXtricate his forces from this menace than he would find himself in an exactly simi- lar trap of a wider front to the north.
 More than 800 miles of road have been repaired by the American engi- neering force on this front since the beginning of the offensive last week it is estimated. while scores Of bridges some of which have been out of com ever since the Germans occu- pied the region four years ago, have been rebuilt The rebuilt bridges in- clude those which the Germans de stroyed when they were driven out a few days ago.
 The roads are yet far from good. but motor trucks and wagon trains are able to pass over them and the engi- neers who have been studying the maps express their confidence that the task ahead of them will be much simpler

The uni versity of Arizona at Tucson is under quarantine, as a precautionary mea- sure, although no cases of influenza has been reported there.
 The state board of health, in con junction with the state council of de- fense at Phoenix today issued very drastic rules to all prOprietors of eat ing places and gathering points of large numbers of people, regarding the crowding of their patrons. In Phoenix the condition is encouraging, during the past twenty-four hours. The peo- pie of this city are not alarmed, due to the fact that nearly every one lives an out of door life.

 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN.-(By the Associated Press. 1.-The American aviators again covered themselves
 with glory and performed almost the impossible in today's drive. Dawn

 The splendid jason that marked the days operations and which was near ly ideal under the circumstances was due in great part to the work of the aviators, who countless times risked their lives in reconnoitering attack ing the retreating Germans and bring ing back reports. To this was added the fact that the German fliers seem ed for once inspired by daredeviltry and bravery equal to the American av- iators and during the entire morning, particularly in the center of the ac- tion, they swOoped over the heads of the American infantry only 6 few hundred meters above the earth, using machine guns with telling effect until driven off.
 Chiefly because of this daring, the German losses were unusually heavy, and even the American anti-aircraft batteries accounted for seven ma chimes, which they brought down with out trouble at the short ranges they could use. One more German plane fell to the prowess oC an infantryman, who was carrying an anti-tank gun, captured a few moments before, and which he turned on an aviator just overhead, bringing him down in- stantly.
 The Americans resumed the attack this morning west of the Mouse, and advanced their lines from two to five kilometers. They captured hill 240, north of EXermOat. aud the villages of Gesnes, Fleville, Chehery and La forges.

 After artillery preparations the americans went over the top at 5.30 and before mid-afternoUn had attain ed all their oojectives.
 The fighting was of the bitterest sort, continuing at last accounts at nearly every point. The Germans ap- were surprised by the attack which had been expected by them two nights ago. They retreated slightly at first without any great artillery ac- tion or resistance, but then stiffened and fought like desperate men throughout the remainder of the day. 1
