WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Against a
handicap of Spanish influenza and
peace talk, the fourth Liberty loan
today showed an overnight increase
of $4,000, 900. This brings the total
subscription today to 81 ,406, ,05l. 900.
Liberty loan campaigns have been
torn to tatters by the Spanish influ-
enza- 1t has spread to Kansas City
and Atlanta federal reserve districts,
where schools, theatres and all pub
lie meetings have been abandoned.
Despite ravages OF the epidemic In
the south, the Atlanta district made
encouraging reports today. The dis
trict chairman declared that his dis
trict had subscribed more than twenty
five per cent of it's quota.
official figures show only a ten per
cent subscriptions, however.
Well organized use-to-house can
vassers are in regular progress
Throughout the south. Reports from
Nashville, Chattanooga, Birmingham
and Jacksonville, indicate that their
quotas will be attained by the end Of
the week.
Philadelphia campaigners have
adopted heroic measures to defeat the
influenza handicap. Thursday, Friday
and Saturday will be gala days in Phil
adelpjhia with a three day program
to put the loan over in that city.
In every section Of the country To-
cal committees are making strenuous
efforts to combat the efforts of peace
talk. While for the most part the ay-
erage citizen apparently Is aware Of
the efforts of the propaganda, the sit
uation admittedly is serious, according
to reports from the treasury.
The local committees have appealed
to their population to answer the
peace talk with greatly increased
pledges. The apeals have brought
forth encouraging responses in Chica-
go and Cleveland districts
Indiana has twenty counties over
the top. Unofficial estimates of the
state committee was that the state
quota would be attained by Saturday.
The Cleveland district has SUBJ
scriptfons exceeding $120,U00,00O.
Columbus, Ohio. and Franklin coun.
ty in which Columbus is situated have
over subscribed.
Only one city in Kansas City dis
trict, Muskogee, Okla, mas over sub
scribed. But the selling campaign IN
the Kansas City district has just at
tained full speed. The district has re-
sorted to the house to house canvass
ers and also called upon its population
to subscribe at polling places in order
to overcome the handicap of no pub
lie meetings.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-President
Wilson this afternoon addressed to
Germany an Inquiry designed to test
the sincerity Of Germany In her peace
offers.
In his message he serves notice on
Germany that no armistIee is pos

powers are upon allied soil.
And he added the good faith OF
any decision would depend upon the
willingness Of the Teutons to with
vaded territory.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Real1z1ng
that Germany is likely to start oes-
perate U-boat drive against trans
ports and troop ships if her peace
offensive fails, American naval OH
cials and British first lord of the ad-
miralty, Geddes, began conferr1nE
here today over combatvie measures.
Indications point to the loosening
|of practically every U-boat In the
Teuton service against the allied sup
ply lines. I.
However. authorities believe that
this effort, like its predecessors Is
doomed to failure, on the whole, be-
cause of reduced U-boat efficiency.
Factors making the forthcoming
campaign less dangerous than prev1-
GUS operations were pointed out to-
day as:
Personnel of U,boats is disrupt
ed, SO much that submarines are now
rated as only one-ffteenth as efec-
tive as at the start Of the war.
2-Submarines have been driven
from the coast and must operate far
out at sea, where their prey is more
scattered.
3-They have been forced to leave
the channel bases and operate around
the North sea, reducing their etec-
tive mileage one-third.
4-Defensive armament and the
convoy system have made successful
attack more difficult.
A larger number of German SUBJ
marines are now In operation than at
any time during the war and the
construction is believed to be ad-
vancing steadily.
Because Of the heavy protection
given to troop ships and supplies
from America, the work OF hunting
down the submarine has been inter
fered with to some extent and the
actual destruction of U-boats has
probably decreased, although the
effectiveness Of the submarine has
been reduced at the same time.
Elimination of the Flanders sub
marine fotilla is one Of the biggest
forward steps in the anti-submartne
campaign, members of the British
naval mission declared today. Block
ing of the Ostend and Zeeburgge re-
pair bases by sinking of British war
vessels in the harbors have crippled
these hayens for some time.
British airmen, dropping an aver
age Of seven tons of explosives daily
over these, forced their abandon
ment.
U-boats are now operating out of
Wilhelmshaven, near Heligoland, but
they are forced to go out through
the North sea, cutting over thirty
percent from their effective cruising
radius.
