ARMAGEDDON TO
COME IN FRANCE,
NOT IN THE EAST
BY WILLIAM PHILIP s1nnrs.

PARIS, Sept. 24.-The most colossal
battle of all time is now raging, the bat
tie line stretching from New York to
the other side of the banks of the Jor-
dan. Perhaps the intensity is varying,
but il will not stop until the Boches are
beaten everywhere.
The allies hold the whip hand and big
events seem brewing for the compare
lively near future. Still every allied Of
f1cer and man today is most emphatic
that there never was a time when the
allies needed more to keep their eyes
wide open and never needed these more
than now.
Critics disagree on minor points but
are in accord regarding the big theme,
namely, that the decisive moment is ap-
preaching. They do not mean that this
will be tomorrow, next week, or next
month. but certainly in 1919 they can see
an allied victory, providing the allies
do not spare their utmost effort afioat
and ashore, fighters and civilians alike
Indications point toward a grand H.
male. The Americans, French and Brit
ish are pinning the Prussians tighter
and tighter against the Hindenburg wall
with mightier efforts in perspective; the
U-boats are defeated on the sea, General
March announcing that one and three
quarter millions of Americans are now
in France and Italy.
The Balkans already are aflame again,
while General Allenby's cavalry gallops
the Turks off the field of Krmageddon.
But the real field of Armageddon is
in northern France, where the tintanic
armies are opposed for the final get
away.
The Bulgarian debacle is big in pos
sibilities and the rout of the Turks may
have important repercussions else
where, but the fate of the allies will be
decided between New York and Swift
erland-frst by keeping the seas clear,
and last by cracking the Hindenburg
line and marching on Berlin.
The front is all one, from New York
to the Jordan, but the war ultimately
will he won or lost in France.

PRESIDENT WILSON
WILL OPEN LOAN
DRIVE IN NEW YORK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Presiden:
Wilson will open the $1,000, Ooo,o Lib
erty Loan campaign in New York Fri
day night, it was officially stated to-
day
This will be President wilson's first
opportunity to discuss the international
situation since it has developed its new
and sensational features-the great al
lied victories in all theaters and the
Teuton peace maneuvers. AS result
his address is awaited as probably one
of far-reaching Importance at this time.
While il is known the president feels
there is no need of restating the aims
of America in the great war, it is held
likely he will seize the opportunity in
New York to answer the Teuton states
men who are declaring his refusal to
accent the Austrian peace move, reveals
allied determination to wage war OF
complete humiliation against the CEN
trail empires.
The presence of Colonel House in the
city added strength to the conviction
that the presidents speech would have
pointed international significance in ad-
dition to being a strong direct appeal
for the loan.
The New York district has been al
$500, 900, 900. Richmond has the sew,
enth largest quota, with $2S0,0oo,O0
The Atlanta district is asked for 1872,
900, 900.
The Liberty loans thus far Offered
were oversubscribed, the total subscrip-
lions being S11.S22,77S,S00. The first
loan was for 81, 900, O00. 900. the second
and third for s3,O0o, 900, 900 each.
HOW LIBERTY BONDS ARE
EXEMPT FROM TAXATION
The exact way in which Liberty
Bonds of the fourth loan will be ex-
empt, in certain instances. from taxa
ton is clearly explained by John E
Murphy in a letter to Forrest Adair,
city chairman for the fourth loan This
part of his letter follows:
1.-The first issue 6 1-2 per cent
bonds). as generally known, are exempt
from all taxes. The remaining issues
of per cent and IA per cent bonds
have been exempt only to an aggregate
amount of $1,000, face value. Congress
has recently passed legislation, exempt
ing the next issue to an extent of $780,
600, face value, provided they are
bought on subscriptions. That means
that they will have to be bought during
the next three weeks campaign. If they
are bought after that date this provi-
sion will not apply. Now, in addition.
any of the previous issues of 4 per
cent and 4 IA per cent bonds will be
exempt to the extent of one and one
half q 1-2) times subscription to the
new issue. That is, if a person should
buy $4,000 of this new issue, he will.
in addition, be exempt to $4,000 of
previous issues of 4 per cent and 4 IA
per cent bonds. This, of course, is the
maximum amount and smaller amounts
are in the same proportion. If per-
son should buy the maximum amount,
say $50, 900 OF the next issue, he would
be exempt $4,000 of previous issues of
per cent and 4 IA per cent bonds and
an additional amount of $1,000, which
was previously allowed under the old
law, making total amount exempt from
taxation at $50, 900. However, these
exemptions apply only so long as the
owner continues to hold bonds of the
fourth issue"

BULGARIA PREPARES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Bulgaria
is setting the stage for a peace move

entente diplomats indicated here today.
Keeling under a combination of dis
astrous hammering over ninety miles of
Macedonian front and seething discon-
tent at home, Bulgarian officials are be-
ing pressed hard toward an appeal for
peace. Preliminary moves are already
under way, it is understood.
keen expectancy was aroused in dip
lomatic circles here today with the re-
turn of Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff to
Washington after a summers absence.
What this diplomat who has always cui-
tivated Americas friendship, will pro-
pose was a subject of widespread dis
cussion at embassies and legations.
