Country Sets Itself to Raise $6,0O0,0OO in Their
 Work.

Washington, Sept. 28.-America to- day set itself to the task of raising a loan of $6,OOO, ,OOO in three weeks Although this was twice the minimum of any previous Liberty loan and by far the greatest war credit ever undertaken by any nation, treasury department officials were certain that the sum would be over subscribed. Their confidence was ex- pressed in the announcement that the surplus would be allotted.
 Officials felt that it was a favora- ble augury for the Fourth Liberty loan that the campaign got under way just when the American army was pressing forward in a great offensive in France, and Bulgaria was suing for peace, starting the long expected disintegretion of the Central powers.
 Subscriptions to the loan began pouring in today at all Federal re- serve banks. Many communities had oversubscribed their quotas even be- fore the campaign officially began.
 New York, Sept 2s.---Two subscrip- tions aggregating 55000,O0o were an l nounced when the Second Federal Re- serve District committee formally in- augurated it's drive for the fourth liberty loan at o'clock today.

PANIC IN BERLIN AT REQUEST OF THE BULCARIANS
Proposition For Armistice Causes Consternation
 Among Hun Leaders.
HOPE FOR DISAVOWAL
 BY THE GOVERNMENT
German High Command, Won Hintze Says, Gave
 All Aid Possible.

London, Sept. 2S-The publication in the Berlin sen1i-of1icial news papers of Bulgaria's armistice request was the cause of the greatest panic in the German capital, according to ad- vices received at Copenhagen and forwarded by the Exchange Telegraph Co.
 Admiral von Hintze, the German foreign secretary according to the advices in a speech before the main committee of the Reichstag said the difficulties of the Bulgarians between the Vardar and the Cerna evidently had not been favorably explained by Premier Malinoff and the Bulgarian government, because on Thursday Bulgaria proposed to the Entente | commander to open peace negotia- tionss-- Admiral von Hintze said that from the reports which were incom- plete 1t was not yet clear whether the | Bulgarian government had acted in accordance with the army desires or upon it's own initiative. There were 1 indications he said that Premier Ma 1 linoff's move would be disavowed by | later developments. He added that | there was great excitement in Bull garia and in influential circles the people were against an armistice or any appeal for peace. He said the peace delegation which it was report ed had left for Saloniki, Wednesday, 1 still was in Sofia on Thursday and that there evidently was some counter action coming. ~ | The German high command, Ad- miral von Hint-e said, immediately threw all of the reserves at its dis posal into Bulgaria when the bad news from Macedonia became known. The Austrians also control forces and | these reserves, he said, were sufficient 1 to restore the military position. | The situation must, however, be characterized as critical" Admiral von Hintze is reported to have said, "but it will be clearer in a few days and there is no reason to give up the game in Bulgaria"
 The Bulgarian plea for an armistice was in response to anti-war agitation among the bulk of the people, the
 correspondent says, in his despatch
 from Copenhagen. The correspon- dent also hears that King Ferdinand l l peace move until Germany countered
 his move.
 According to this report the King
 realizing that the people were de-
 termined to end the war, took the in-
 itiative some time ago in intrigue for | peace to save his throne and stave of revolution. It was for this reason that he went to Germany and the cor respondent adds that it was curious
 fact that his whereaboutseand actions since he returned have been a mys-
 tery.
 A solution of the mystery Is said to be that the Germans in Bulgaria
 realized that the King was turning
 against them and they virtually kept
 him a prisoner, at any rate to an ex-
 tent of preventing him from taking
 a hand in peace overtures. The Ger
 mans, however, were powerless
 against the popularity of Premier Ma.

BRITAIN DENIES ARMISTICE PLEA
 OF BULGARIANS
Situation Fully Covered By Answer of Commander of
 Allied Forces.

London, Sept. 2S-Great Britain has replied to the Bulgarian request for an armistice. The reply 1t is stated, is fully covered by the answer given the Bulgarian representatives by the commander of the Allied army on the Macedonian front. By this reply it is perfectly well defined that no mili- tary operations can be suspended.
 At the same time, regarding the proposal that duly accredited Bulgar- ian representatives should confer with the Allies on the question of peace, 1t has been made quite clear to the Sofia government that such a peace necessarily involves complete rupture by the Bulgarian government with Turkey, Germany and Austria Hungary.
 The Allied governments necessarily demand every guarantee which they consider necessary to them to safe guard their military operations and prevent the dispatch of German troops to Bulgaria.

London, Sept. 2s-Ten thousand prisoners have been captured by the British in their offensive in the Cam brat area, Field Marshal Haig an nounced in his official statement to- day. Two hundred guns were taken by the British forces.
 British forces have begun opera tions in Flanders in conjunction with the Belgia riarmy.
 The statement reads:
 "Our attack yesterday on the Cam brai front was pressed without re- taxation until a late hour. Further progress was made in the evening more especially on the northern DOT ton of the battlefield, and additionaI prisoners and guns were captured.
 Troops of the Sixth and Seven teenth Corps continued to make good progress on the front between Fles- uuieres ridge and Bourbon heights The Canadian division, passing be- yond Haynecourt, reached the Douai' .Cambrai road at nightfall.
 "The Eleventh division, passing through the Canadians, pushed rap idly forward more than two miles capturing Epinoy and Oisy-le-Verger At the same time the Fifty Sixth Di vision, pressing northward along the Canal captured over 500 prisoners 1T the defenses northeast of Sauchy Cauchy.
 These operations have been ma terially helped by the admirable wNrl of the engineers. Less than fou hours after the opening of the as sault, in spite of hostile shell fire they successfully threw across tn, Canal du Nord a number of bridge capable of carrying transports, thu permitting our advance to be con tinued without check.

 The question, it Is stated, is one of the conclusion of such a military agreement as would prevent any further danger from the Bulgarian side to the operations of the Allies in the Balkans.
 If the terms laid down, which have ben despatched to Sofia are not &C., ceptable to the Malinoff government, the Allied powers. It is added, have no further conditions to propose, and it will rest with Bulgaria to find other representatives who can accept these conditions.
 An official Bulgarian statement dated Sept. "A, announces that Bull garia has initiated a proposition for obtaining an armistice and peace. Copenhagen, Sept. 2S-The leaders of the ministerial bloc of the Bull garian parliament, according to ad- vices from Sofia, published the fol lowing official note in connection with the governments proposal for ar armistice:
