M ADOO URGES ON 10 GREAT EFFORT.
lRv RevIew reased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-DirectOr General McAdoo in a communication sent today to the presidents of the leading railroads of the country ex- pressed the hope that their companies may feel justified in subscribing as liberally as practicable to the fourtf Liberty loan"
 Mir. McAdOo said he hoped the rail roads may be able to provide the necessary funds for this purpose other wise than through the utilization of any portion of their standard return for the current year, all of which will be needed, so far as most of the railroads of the country are concerned, to provide for interest, dividends. much needed improvements, betterments and equipment
 'I can see no reason" continued the director general, why railroad companies should not in anticipation of income to which they may be en- titled from investments or otherwise in the ensuing year. subscribe now to Liberty bonds through the banks, which, l am sure, will, if directed gladly grant them temporary loans in anticipation of their receipts coming in during the next year"

cRoWELL ASKS EFFORT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-In urging the nation to put forth its maximum effort in the war, particularly in fl, nancing it, Acting Secretary of War Crowell said today that this would be the worst possible time to slacken the efforts to defeat the central powers.
 ''The enemy is being driven back said Mir Crowell, land this is the best time to increase our pressure. It would be the worst time to pause. This applies to the civilian as we'll as the military forces.
 q say this particularly in reference to Liberty bond buying. I call upon the civilian population of the United States to accept the present war re- responsibilities in the same spirit that Our gallant forces are meeting their stern duty overseas-drive harder ev- cry day for definite victory. Now is not the time for us to question when or how the end of the war will come.

BRITISH OFFICIAL

LONDON, Oct. 9-The official state ment of General Haig says:
 We inflicted a heavy defeat on the enemy yesterday between St. Quentin and Cambrai, taking over 10000 pris- oners and between 100 and 200 guns.
 No less than twenty-three German divisions were engaged on this front; they were severely handled.
 "The result of this action is that the troops have been enabled to ad- vance today on the whole front be- tween the Somme and the Sensee and are making rapid progress eastward, capturing rear guard detachments of the enemy, isolated batteries and ma chine gun posts. Numbers of the in habitants who were left in the cap tured villages have met the advancing troops with enthusiasm.
 The whole of Cambrai is in our pos session. The Canadians entered the town from the north at an early hour this morning, while at a later hour English troops of the third army passed through the north portion of the town.
 Since August 12 the British first, third and fourth armies have broken through the whole elaborate series of deep defensive zones built up with sue cessive belts of heavily fortified trench lines, including the entire Hin denburg system on a front of over thirty-five miles from St. Quentin to ArTas. Having penetrated this battle area to a depth of between thirty and forty miles our troops are now oper- ating far beyond and east of the Hin denburg defenses.
 Tn the process of these operations, and since the date mentioned We have inflicted very heavy losses on the enc my in killed and wounded and have taken over 10000 prisoners and 12OO guns.
 This feat of arms has been per formed by British troops who had al- ready withstood the first heavy on slaughts of the enemy's main forces in the spring. Only the endurance and determined spirit of these troops permitted them to pass to the of fensive with such conspicuous success. By their heroic action in defense and attack, the men from all parts of the British empire have proved them selves soldiers of the highest order.
 The advance continues this after noon. We have reached the general line of Bohain, Busigny, Caudry and Caurier."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. - General Pershing's communique for yesterday received today by the war department follows:
 Headquarters American Expedi- tionary. Forces, Oct. s:
 Section A: We captured Cornay against stubborn fighting continued cur advance in the Argonne forest. East of the Mouse, French and Amer ican troops serving with the first army made a brilliant attack in the vicinity of the Bois Des Caures and Bois D Haumont The villages of Consenvoye. Brahant, Haumont and Beaumont have been occupied and the enemy has been driven well beyond them.
 "On both wings of the Mouse our own troops and the French are now pushing the enemy from the scene of the desperate struggle for Verdun. The number of prisoners taken as a result of the days operations exceeds 5000. Of these 1600 were taken by French units east of the Mouse.
 This brings the total number cap tured by this command in the last few days to over 400O. The French also captured eighteen mortars of heavy caliber and ether materials"

his next stand cannot be foretOld, but probably an effort for a turn-about will be attempted along the Valen- ciennes-Sedan front. After this line the only known German defensive po- sition west of the Rhine is the Mouse rive1 The Americans already are threatening to make this line unten able, having started an advance up the valley on the eastern side of the stream toward Sedan.
 The maneuvers of the French north west of Rheims are cutting more deep ly into the German line, despite the serious resistance that is being of fered by the enemy to postpone the fall of the great St. Gobain massif and the highly important strategic pO- sitions of Laon and La Fere, which seemingly are likely to be pinched out of the battle front by the success ful operations around St. Quentin and Berry Au Bac.
 Strong resistance also is being i'm posed by the Germans against further advances by the French and AmeTi- cans in Champagne and east of Ar gonne forest.
 Particularly heavy counter attacks have been launched by the enemy on various positions, but without results other than in increasing the fighting Along the Suippe river the fighting is furious, but the French have been able to make further crossing of the stream. St. Etienne has changed hands several times in bitter com bats.
 West of the Argonne forest the Americans have driven their line for ward to the region of Cornay and seemingly the Argonne forest soon will be in allied hands. On the eastern side of the Mouse the Americans have advanced and taken several small vil- lages and also straightened out their line which was being enfiladed by the German guns from the east.
 Reports persist that the Turkish cabinet has fallen and that the new grand vizier will be Tewfik Pasha, whose sympathies are declared to be pro-ally rather than pro-German. Ru- nor also has it that the Turks have a peace note to the allies the Spanish government.

GOVERNMENT TO PAY ". U. RATE
 OF DIVIDENDS
Post Office Department and President Carlton Enter Into Agreement on Annual Rent of Telegraph Lines
Rv Review Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Under an agreement completed today between ehe pOstoffice department and the Western Union telegraph company, the government agrees to pay all inter- est on outstanding bonds of the com pany, all dividends and interest pay ments due on stocks and bonds of subsidiary companies, all taxes and op erating charges on the property and in addition the sum of eight million dollars annually. This sum insures the present rate of dividend on the company's stock.
 The agreement, announced tonight by NewcOmb Carlton, president of the company, with approval of Post Mas ter General BurlesOn presumably is to continue for the period of govern ment control. It is the second con tract entered into by the postoffice department with the big wire com panies taken over by the government last July under the joint resolution of congress. The first, with the Amer. i2an Telephone and Telegraph com pany, was announced several days ago.
 An agreement" said MT. CarltOn's statement, 'has been reached after extended conferences with the post master general and his associates, which is entirely satisfactory to the Western Union Telegraph company. The agreement relates only to the land lines and in substance provides for the payment by the postmaster can aF.a1 of all fv+oraef ov, o,r+ cfo,,d ing bonds of the telegraph company; also all dividends and interest pay ments due on the stocks and bonds of subsidiary companies; also all taxes and operating charges upon the prop erty; and a sum of eight million dol lars per annum, thus assuring the present rate of dividend.
 "The contract leaves the company all it's incorporating income and the income from its eight transatlantic cables. The government likewise to carry the plan of the company for pen siOns for employees, disability and death benefits, and also maintain all reserves for depreciation and amor tizations upon the same basis as the telegraph company has maintained AnGAAs tue EOhtLuAut4l LuLLl6I pro vides for continued maintenance and operation of the property in as effici- ent a condition as when taken over. and the return of the property to the telegraph company in such a cOndi- tiOn on the termination of federal con trOl
 The telegraph company will loan each year the sum of S1 100000 with out interest toward financing approved- additional extensions; funds required for these purposes beyond such amount to be furnished by the post master general If-new securities are required to be issued by the telegraph company the government pays the in- terest, dividends or other cost of such securities issued tn exchange, dis charge or renewal of existing obliga- tiOns
 Viewed in every respect the con tract is a fair one to the telegraph company and the government and the arrangement has been reached through the pursuit of a broad policy by both parties to the negotiations"
