Of WAR FUND RACE
TO CO OVER THE TOP
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-Officials of
the United War Work campaign an
nounced tonight that the latest ma
tional total for the drive for SlI0, 500
600, which closes al midnight tonight
was $15S,565,05S, or S11,934,942 less
than the sum sought. They added
however, that this report was incom-
plete and that final figures would not
be available for at least two days.
Leaders of the drive for the seven
welfare organizations serving Ameri-
cas- fighting forces remained hopeful
of attaining their goal, asserting that
state and local committees in all parts
of the country were too busy tabulaN-
ing last minute contributions, to report
their totals to national headquarters.
Officials announced that 3S states
had gone over the top" and that New
England and the south had scored a
perfect record. Only the large cities
of the east were tagging, it was said,
and it was expected their final figures
would compare favorably with those
from the rest of the country.
Every military department. except
the eastern, was reported to have
passed its goal. Georgia raised S1,654, =
1 776, or 1904 ,1S6 in excess of its quota.

GERMAN VICE CHANCELLOR
OUTLINES MITTEL-EUROPA
Would Cement Russia Poland,
Bulgaria and Turkey to
Central Powers

AMSTERDAM, June 1O.-Permanent
economic and military union between
Germany and Austria-Hungary with
the general disappearance of customs
duties and frontiers" is proposed by
Friedrich Won Payer, imperial vice chan
cellor of Germany, in statement pub
lished in the Neue Freie Presse of Wen
ma and quoted in the Vossische Zeitung
of Berlin. Included in this scheme of
a Mittel Europa under domination of
the central powers are Russia. Poland
Bulgaria and Turkey.
The vice chancellor points out that
with this union once affected the peace
Of Europe would be in the hands of the
Teutonic allies, the settlement of vex-
ing problems arising from the war
would be made more easy and the soIu-
ton of international questions would
also be facilitated. I'm his statement
the vice chancellor said in part:
THE present form Of the alliance IS
inadequate. In view of the fact that
vital questions are concerned the dura-
ton of the alliance must not depend
continually on the feelings at the mo-
ration lapse. The union must be so in
innate that the idea of separation prac-
tically would be out of the question and
the center of gravity of the alliance
must be laid in an economic union"
After explaining why such a union
offered bright prospects, Herr Won Payer
said that all these advantages would be
increased If Poland and the northern
border states were Joined economically
with the central empires. They would
be enhanced enormously if, in a loose
form Russia and Bulgaria and perhaps
Turkey also participated. The vice
chancellor continued:
All must finally become a great
united region of intercourse with uni
form interests. Concurrently with the
gradual disappearance of customs duties
and frontiers there must be unification
or far reaching rapprochement of eco
nomic legislation, especially trade and
industrial tariffs and the care of labor
Certain forms Of indirect taxation must
be outlined similarly, and railways.
waterways and other means of CONF
munication must be made to serve the
common interests.
Such cooperation, however. is only
to be thought of in conjunction with
the maintenance of the political indie
penQence OF the empires concerned
fhile mutual consideration and united
action in connection with questions of
foreign policy are necessary.
Political cooperation must be sup
ported by an understanding on military
questions If the states are bound to-
gether by a treaty of protection they
must bear proportionately the burdens
of this protection and all would then
have an identical interest in the simpli
tication and appropriate extension of
military institutions.
The experiences of the present war
have shown what similar training in
arming, equipping and supply system
mean in facilitating the conduct of
war and what difficulties their absence
has entailed. The military authorities
could easily come to an understanding
as to what is necessary in this direc-
ton"
