MILLION DOLLARS
PER MINUTE MUST
BE LOANS SPEED
But 33 Working Hours Ahead
in Whirlwind Finish For
Great War Fund

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The Fourth
Liberty Loan to-day neared the
homestretch of the campaign with
subscribed and ST.
$50, 100000 to be raised in two days
remaining. Despite this tremendous
unsubscribed balance, campaigners
throughout the country reported
they would be satisfied with nothing
less than over subscriptions.
One million dollars a minute is
what the nation must subscribe be-
tween now and midnight tomorrow
night if the Fourth Liberty Loan is
to go over the $4,000, 100000.
Treasury officials estimated to-day
that just about thirty-three working
hours remained to the two million
solicitors when they set out this
morning for a whirlwind finish to the
three weeks campaign for the great
est war loan in all history. The task
before these workers was recognized
as a stupendous one, but there was
no doubt here that it would be ac-
complished.
Not a single reserve district has
attained its quota, however. two, At
lanta and Philadelphia, officially have
not reached the halfway mark. New
York still has SS0O,0O0,00 to raise,
st. Louis and Minneapolis are lead
ing in the order named, with the lat
ter claiming to have gone over the
top.

turned to Altoona with the prisoner.
Petricelli boarded Tyrone car, No.
1869, a short distance east of Bell
wood at 1915 p. m. Wednesday. He
became boisterous. started smoking
in the main compartment and spat
on the floor. He was reprimanded by
conductor r. c.. Brown. The man
was seen to be intoxicated and Mo-
torman w. c. Knepper halted the
car and with the conductors aid
elected him.
| Nothing further was thought
about the incident. On the return trip
the car was speeding along and
ithirty-fiVe passengers were given a
rude shaking when it crashed over
eight or ten old and rotten ties
placed across the rails near the point
where the drunken man was put off
on the eastern journey. Little dam
lage to track or car resulted.

to work on the case, trailed Pet

train and returned to this city. 1t
developed he was a fireman and had
gone out with his train. Pennsy po-
lice were asked for aid and the ar
rest is the result.

Contributions GiDen For
Children Left Destitute

Three contributions of s25 each
toward the fund to care for chill
dren made destitute by the influ-
enza epidemic were received at Red
Cross headquarters up to noon to-
day. The names of the donors have
not been made public at the re-
quest of Red Cross officials.
The fund to care for these chill
dren was started when it was learned
that in many families the mother
and father have been stricken by the
dreaded disease, leaving the chill
dren without homes and ways of
support. The money to be raised
here will be used for the support of
these children.
1t is the belief of Red Cross off,
cials that public spirited citizens of
Harrisburg will be quick to see the
need and that they will give their
money freely and gladly. A hundred
contributors are asked to give $25
each to the fund. Contributions
should be addressed to the Harris
burg chapter, American Red Cross,

The road to Brussels is OPEN According to latest
advices the French and Belgian armies are advancing
rapidly towards Bruges and Ghent. The capture OF
Ostend makes it possible to land reinorcements and
throw powerful forces against the extreme right OF the
German army.
General Won Arnims army no longer is strong enough
to sustain operations the extended front from the
French to the Dutch frontier is therefore, reasonable
to expect that it's Belgium will be RAPID
and that King Albert will his capital earlier
than was hoped.
At the very moment the Flanders battle was won
another offensive started in the direction OF Hirson
and Vervins by Ang American and French forces.
The object is take the armies of the Crown Prince,
under shelter of the Hundng ne on the flank and torce
them to an early retreat towards the Ardennes the
front of the powerful Allied right wing.
The way back to Germany lies through two bottle
necs separated by the Ardenneshe one between Lege
and Dinant and the other between Montmedy and Yer
dun The latter already is partially blocked
While it may be admitted that the Germans arc hight

military opinion here is that the great German military
machine is in danger of collapse.
