 ON 20 MILE FRONT

With the British on Cambrai-St. Quentin Front, Oct. 9 (By The Asso- ciated Press.)-(4:30 F. M.)-The German troops on a 20 miles front have been put to full flight and the British cavalry is reported to be pur- suing them, the infantry marching in columns of four through village hast ily abandoned by the enemy.
 Cambrai has fallen and the British are now we'll to the east.
 Nine Mile Gain.
 The deepest gain some hours ago was at least nine miles on this sector, and there are no signs of the advance slowing up. On the contrary it is going faster every hour with clear ground ahead. :.
 Everything that could be burned had been set afire by the enemy be- fore he began what virtually amounts to the rout of no less than thirty div isions. the smashing of which was continued furiously today.
 North of Cambrai the Canadians attacked and penetrated deeply also. The British marched through Bertry without opposition. They reached the outskirts of Troisvillers and hold Maurois and Honneday

 A SERIOUS MATTER
Treasury Department Says No Use to Deny Fact of
 Serious Situation.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Slow progress of the Fourth Liberty loan toward it's six billion dollar goal is a matter of serious concern, the treasury depart ment today openly admitted. With the three weeks subscription period half gone, the loan is only 30 per cent sub- scribed.
 The total reported to the treasury up to tonight is $1,791 ,436, 200.
 "There is no use in denying or at- tempting to camouflage the fact that Liberty Loan committees throughout the country-are confronted with a serious situation" said the treasury Statement raeviewing the campaign reports.
 ''If the loan is to be subscribed, a daily average $467, 100000 must be raised between and Oct. 19.
 Double the third," has been adopt ed as slogan in many districts to stimulate subscribers to do twice as much as they did in the last loan. Subscriptions by districts and per- centages of quotas, were reported as

Cabinet Has Fallen Is
 Now Reported
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 London, Oct. 9.-The British for eign office has received indirect news of the fall of the Turkish cabinet.
 The Press Association has issued an authoritive statement that the foreign office has received the text of President Wilson's note to Ger many and that all the allies are in complete accord in the matter.
 It adds:
 "The fall of the Turkish cabinet has great significance.
 "It is not doubted that Turkey apprised Berlin of her intention to seek peace and Germany sought to stave off such development by an attempt to seek a general instead of a partial settlement"

 Rapid Work in
 Revenue Laws

By ASSOClaLeO freSS.
 Washington, Oct 9.-The ten per cent taxes fixed by the House on pas senger automobiles and motorcycles were cut in half today by the Senate Finance Committee which made rapid progress in it's revision of the wal revenue bill.

 In reducing the tax on passenger automobiles and motorcycles to five per cent the committee fixed the same impost on such vehicles as on automobile trucks and tractors.
 The ten per cent tax placed by the house on automobile tires and acces- sories also was reduced to five per cent.
 House taxes of ten per cent on sporting goods, cameras and photo graphic supplies were accepted.
 The tax on chewing gum, which was made six per cent by the house was redued to four per cent, but the house levy of ten per cent on candy was approved.

IN DESPERATION.

These officers regard the move of the German chancellor as a despe- rate eleventh hour move to escape serious military disaster and the. would not be surprised if President Wilson's condition. that there can be no talk of an armistice except when coupled with agreement to withdraw immediately from all invaded terri tory will be promptly accepted.
 The answer to such move it was Marshal Foch the dictation of the terms of the armistice should the situation ever reach that stage as the supreme commander .can be trusted to see that no military ad- vantage to the enemy resulted.
 FOclis Men EnyelOping Them.
 In the meantime, Marshal Foch. hour by hour is surrounding the German forces with new perils as his strategic conceptions are develop ed
 Evidence of the waning resisting power of the German forces in France was plainly seen by observ CTS here in the sweep forward of the Anglo American forces north of St. Quentin.
 Apparently there has been no ma terial lowefing of the fighting quali- ty of the enemy soldiers. but there is every evidence that the complex military organization upon which de- feEse of the long battle front de- bends, is breaking under the strain.
 Signs of confusion have been not ed repeatedly.
 Call W0rn.Out Troops.
 Worn out divisions have been call ed upon to check the assault of fresh allied troops and have been cut to pieces.
 There are signs only, for the ene- my front still offers a grim obstacle to the advancing armies and the battle is growing daily in fury in- stead of lessening. -

Internal Conditions in Ger many and Exigencies De
 mand Speedy Action.
AUSTRIAN CONDITIONS ARE EVEN FAR WORSE
This Fact Leads To Belief Germany Fears Austria
 Hungary Will Break

Washington, Oct. 9.-An early
 response to President Wilson's
 note of inquiry to the German
 chancellor is expected by Ameri-
 can officials.
 While realizing that an answer
 to the three pertinent questions
 put to the prince of Baden will
 be difficult if the original pro-
 posal of the German government
 were not sincere, officials are
 confident that internal conditions
 in Germany and the tremendous
 exigencies of the military situa-
 tion will force speedy action.
 Austria In Bad Way.
 So far as the hold of the govern ment upon the people is concerned, it is believed conditions in Austria are even far worse than those in Ger many.
 This fact is calculated to strongly is. understood to entertain grave doubt of the strength of purpose of the dual monarchy and to fea rthat Aus tria, or perhaps Hungary, acting in dependently will follow Bulgaria in seeking an uncOnulClOnai peace.
 Leave Germany Alone.
 This would leave Germany to wage the war alone, for it is foregone conclusion that Turkey already is lost to the central alliance. The pointed inquiry directed to Prince Max as to whether he is speaking merely foc the constituted authorities of the en- p:re who if the response is in the affirmative Germany's proposal will be rejected as the president has all ready given notice that he will have no dealings with such authorities.
 The powerful socialist elements in the Reichstag also are counted upon to resent any such statement by the chancellor as directly in conflict wit: the Reichstag resolution of July 1917, on which the very recent pledges to make the cabinet representative body, under which the socialists were enticed to take part in the govern ment. On the other hand, if Maxmil- ian attempts to repudiate the military party he undoubtedly will bring about a demand from that still powerful organization for his retirement and the adoption of reactionary policy:

Between Cambrai and St. Quentin the Allies Pur-
 sue Fleeing Enemy.
CAMBRIA IS IN
 BRITISH HANDS
Thousands of Germans Been Made Prisoner; Victory
 Appears Complete.
(Ass0aiated Press Summary.)

The formidable German de. fense system between Cambrai ard St. Quentin has been utter. ly demolished and British. Am. crican and French troops are out in the open country eastward in pursuit of the retreating enemy.
 CambrAi, the pivotal point in the former line and over which there has been so much bitter fighting, is in British hands; numerous villages and hamlets to the south have been 0yer.run by the allies and thousands of Germans have been made prison- CTS and hundreds of their guns captured.

Victory Is Complete.

The victory seemingly is complete, and with General Foch's startegy working smoothly in bending back the German line in one great con verging movement, the Germans ap- parently are in serious predica- ment.
 From the region northwest of Rheims to the Mouse river. north of Verdun the French and Americans are slowly but surely pushing the Germans backward toward the Bel gian coast.
 SOrely Punish Turks.
 In Macedonia and Asiastic Turkey the troops of the entente still have the enemy on the run.
 Nowhere is the enemy able to do more than flight retarding ibattles, giving ground when the pressure be- comes too strong.
 Under the avalanche of steel hur- led against them on the Cambrai- St. Quentin sector. the Germans could ward.
 Heavy casualties were inflicted on tose of the enemy who had the temer- ity to endeavor to make stand. On the other hand, the casualties of the allies are said to have been relatively small, those of the Ameri- cans being less than half the num- ber of prisoners taken by them. Where the enemy purposes to make his next stand cannot be foretold. but probably an effort for a turn-aH bout will be attempted along the Valen- ciennes-Sedan front. Mouse Last Defense. .. After this line the only known German defensive position west of the Rhine is the Mouse river. The Americans already are threat ening to make this line untenable. having started an advance up the valley on the eastern side of the stream toward Sedan. The maneuvers of the French northwest of Rheims are cutting i more deeply into the German line despite the serious resistance that is being offered by the enemy to post pore the fall of the great St. Gobain massif and the rightly important strategic positions of Laon and La fere. which seemingly are likely to be pinched out of the battle front l by the successful operations around st. Quentin and Berr-Au-Bac.
 Some Strong Resistance. Strong resistance is also being imposed by the Germans against fur ther advances by the French and 1 Americans in Champagne. and east of the Argonne forest. Particularly heavy counter attacks have been launched by the enemy on various positions, but without Ire- l suits other than increasing his casu- alties.
 Along the Suippe river the fighting is forced, but the French have been able to make further crossings o1 ! the stream. 1 St. Etienne has changed hands se- veral times in bitter combat. West of the Argonne forest, the l Americans have driven their line for ward to the region of Cornay on the Aire river, where they have effected a junction with the French troops and seemingly the Areonne fores' soon will be in allied hands.
 Americans Go Ahead. On the eastern side of the Mouse thu, sAmericans have advanced and taken several small villages anc also strengthened out their line which was being enfiladed by the German guns from the east.

Cambl4ai Sector Oct. 3 (By The
 Associated Press. )-Successive
 explosions have occurred in Cam
 brai, which it is reported, have reduced the town to ruins.
 London, Oct. 9.-The whole of
 Cambrai is in British possession,
 Field Marshal Haig reports to- night from headquarters. The Canadians were the first to enter
 the town.
 In the great defeat inflicted on
 the Germans, yesterday 10000
 prisoners and from 100 to 200
 guns were captured.
 Advanced Three Miles.
 The Germans retreat from the Scarpe river southward to Below St. Quentin enabled the British easily to advance from two to three miles this morning. The Germans started backward last night. -'e4t- .sae 7 The British have met with little re- sistance today, as they have not been in contact with the German main line. The weather is bad, otherwise it is believed that the British would have advanced further.
 The Germans are burning villages. This retreat lengthens the line which the Teutons so long have been trying to shorten, and the situation opens many possibilities of retreats else- where.
 In yesterdays attack between Cam brai and St. Quentin the allied troops made 10000 prisoners and captured 200 guns.
 For all practical purposes the allied troops now hold the Cambrai-St. Quentin railway. The maximum ad- vance at o'clock this afternoon was five miles at Bertry, four miles south east of Lecateau.
