BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their Loyalty in Aidnq Government to Finance
 the War.

The splendid spirit of patriotism manifested by the bankers throughout the Eighth Federal Reserve District in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns is being more than maintained in the preliminary campaign for the Fourth Loan that began June 20, when the first series of $750. .000,0 ,000 of United States Treasury Certificates of lndebt. edness was offered to the banks
 No more patriotic and intelligent body of men than the men comprising tbe banking element exists anywhere. They make deep study of finance. They watched the mistakes made by Germany and our Allies in financing the war. and they do net hesitate to place the stamp of approval on the methods adopted by the United States Government to avoid repetition of the mistakes.
 This plan of Certificates of lndebt. edness spreads out the demand that will he made this fall on the country at large for the Fourth Loan and the money that is realized from raw mate. rials and labor will go through the channels of commerce. and return to the country for reinvestment this fall.
 The certificates form the basis fU a system of credits which will relieve the country of a great strain il would experience if the certificate plan had not been adopted

&. A. Horning, highway commits
sioner of Deer Park township, has ap-
plidd for an Injunction restraining
the Utica Fire Brick and Clay Com
pany from building its tram line over
the Illinois River bridge at Utica.

ates tram line to haul it to Utica,
crossing the river on ferry. The

DANUBE IN SIGHT
FRENCH 6 MILES AWAY

London, Oct. ga new attack was
launched by the British today on a
seven-mile front east and southeast
of Cambrai and satisfactory progress
was reported by Field Marshal Haig.
The assault centers in the sector OF
lie Chateau and SU.esmes. where the
British are incidentally attacking in a
northeasterly direction to outfank
uhe German forces between Valen-
ciennes and the Belgian frontier
The British have entered Valencien-
'nes North of Tournai the Scheldt
River has been crossed. Belgians ad.
vancing in the direction Of Ghent have
crossed the Rice Canal.
Their going indicates that an Amer
ican attack is eminent against the
German western flank. This new drive
may fall in one of three places First
the Argo Meuse sector; second in the
Woevre district Of Metz; third, in the
Vosges Mountains.
The French are now fighting for a
crossing on the Serre River. They
have advanced fifteen miles in a
northeasterly direction from I.aon.
Official advices today state that the
French were only six miles from the
Danube.

proposal were followed
today by the White
House conference, pre-
sided over by President Wilson, and
consisting Of Secretary Lansing, Cen.
March, chief Of staff, representing Sec
OF War Baker, ana Secretary of the
Navy Daniels.
The conference is understood to
have decided on the course OF action
that will be followed by the pre5i-
dent in dealing with the German note.
No intimation, however, of what that
action will be or when it may be ex-
pected was forthcoming.
1t was assumed, Of course, that the
President would enter into no nego-
:iations with Germany, but whether
he would send direct reply to the
note or would content himself with a
reiteration of his original decision
was not known.
Most officials, close ITO the White
House and state department inclined
to the belief that reply would be
sent which would emphasize the orig
inal decision that Germany actually
must make her government response
Bile to the people instead of promises
to do so, actually, stop all outragss
on land and sea instead of promises
to do so and actually withdraw from

that as soon as it was possible to do
