WAR SUMMARY

Bulgaria has announced OIL
cially that she has initiated a
proposal for obtaining an arm
istice and peace, which
amounts virtually TO suing for
peace. If Bulgaria makes peace
with the allies il is believed
Turkey will promptly follow.
Thus an iron ring will he
drawn about Austria Hungary.
Rumania. seething with revolt
against the Germans, seems al
most at the point of again en-
tering the war with the allies.
On practically the whole bat
tlefrOnt in France, from the
North Sea TO the Swiss border
the allies are attacking the Ger
mans.
In addition to the Franco
American attack in the Cham
payne begun Thursday, and the
British drive in the Cambrai-
DOuai region started yesterday,
the Belgian and British troops
holding the line in Belgium
have launched a drive
The BeIeians in their Offens-
I've north of Ypres are reported
10 have gained nearly three
miles. The front of attack ex-
tends over the greater part Of
the line from the North sea
south to Ypres.
Prisoners captured by the
British In their offensive begun
yesterday now total 10000 and
several towns. They are row
driving directly at Cambria and
the capture Of Intervening
towns and ground Is being re-
ported rapidly.
The French and Americans
are continuing 10 push the
mighty blow begun by them
Thursday with all of its orig
inal force. The Germans have
been hurled back 10 the -Brun-
hide line.- and there they are
fighting desperately to stay the
American advance. d.
A dispatch states that when
the reports Of Bulgaria's re-
quest for an aTmistice and
peace were published in Ber-
Lin the greatest panic resulted.

CHIEF VOICES
SURE WAY TO
ENDOF WARS
Says AL Nations Must Go
to Peace Table Prepared
to Yield to Right.

New York. Sept. 2S.-The price
of peace will be impartial justice
to all nations, the instrumental
ity indispensable to secure it is a
league Of nations formed, not be
fore or after, but at the peace con-
ference, and Germany, as a mem
ber, will have to redeem her
character not by what happens at
the peace table but by what fol-
lows"
This was President Wilson 5
answer, given last night before an
audience of fourth Liberty loan
workers here, to the recent peace
talk from the central powers, al
though he did not refer specific
ally to the utterances of enemy
leaders.
No "COming to Terms
Peace was not a question, de-
clared the president, of coming to
terms" for we cannot come to
terms with them" and they have
made it impossible" Peace must
be guaranteed, for there will be
parties to the peace whose prom
ises have proved untrustworthy
and means must be found in con-
nection with the peace settlement
to remove that source of insecur-
ity"
1t would be folly to leave the
guarantee to the subsequent vol
untary action of the governments
we have seen destroy Russia and
deceive ROumania,' continued the
president
They have convinced us that
they are without honor and do not
intend justice. They observe no
covenants, accept no principle but
force and their own interest"
Demands Justice For All.
The president emphasized that
the justice to be obtained by the
league must involve no discrimin-
alton toward any people This
he set forth explicitly in a set of
five principles which he enumer-
ated as the practical program of
Americas peace terms, and for the
maintenance of which the United
States is prepared to assume its
full share of responsibility"
Shortly before the president
started speaking, news Of the fur
ther successes of American, Brit
ish, and French offensives on the
western front reached the meeting
at Metropolitan opera house.

Is Great Flood of
Subscriptions as
Loan Drive Starts

Washington, Sept. 2S-America to-
day set itself to the task of raising
a loan of $4,000, 600 900 in three
weeks. Although this was twice
the minimum of any previous Lib
erty loan and by far the greatest
war credit ever undertaken by any
nation, treasury department Off
cials were confident that the sum
would be oversubscribed.
Officials felt that it was favor
able 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 disintegration of the
central powers.
Subscriptions to the loan began
pouring in today at all federal re-
serve banks. Many communities
had over-subscribed their quotas
even before the campaign officially
began. Thousands of workers were
out early in practically every city,
town and hamlet in the land. Spe-
cial ceremonies of one sort or an
other ushered in the drive.
Posters everywhere exhorted
readers to back the boys in France
with Liberty bonds and President
Wilson's personal message in his
own handwriting greeted the ma
tion from full page advertisements
in the morning newspapers.
New York, Sept 28.-Two sub
scriptions totaling $55.0O0. 900 were
announced when the second federal
reserve district committee formally
inaugUarated its drive for the
fourth Liberty loan at 9 O'Clock to-
day. The Prudential Life Insurance
company Of America took 100000
600 of the issue and the New York
Life Insurance company S25, ,000,-
600 These supplemented a pur-
chase of $4O.0O0O00 worth of bonds
announced last night by the United
States Steel corporation.
Chicago, Sept 2S.-The first i'm
portant subscription locally to the
fourth Liberty loan which was
launched today was for S5,000,000
by Armour and company.

pended.
At the same time regarding the
proposal that duly accredited Bui-

fer with the allies on the question
of peace, it has been made quite
clear to the Sofia government that
such a peace necessarily involves
a complete rupture by the Bulgar-
ian government with Turkey, Ger

The allied governments neces-
sarily demand every guarantee
which they consider necessary to
safeguard their military operations
and prevent the dispatch of Ger
man troops to Bulgaria.
