Amsterdam, Oct. 23.-German pro-

Frankische Tagespost of Nuremberg
the first paper in Germany to demand
openly the abdication of the emperor
declares that the accession of the

burg socialists.
The pan-Germans and junkers are
silent today, but we do not forget that
they are the great war meters in Ger
many; that they remain the support of
social and political reaction. and that
they are menace to the future healthy
development of the German empire.

FIFTH WAR LOAN IN SPRING
Plans Already Being Made for Cam
paign Whether Peace or

Washington, Oct. 23.-Long before
the fourth Liberty loan figures have
been counted up, or the honor flags
have been entirely distributed, or the
money paid in, preparations have been
started at the treasury for the fifth
Liberty loan whenever it may be called.
The date has not been determined, nor
the amount nor any other features,
The only certain knowledge is that
there will be another and it probably
will come in the, spring of 1919 in
March or April. Whether present Ger
man maneuvers for peace are success
full or not, the government by that time
will need more billions to pay the war
costs which can decrease only gradual
ly, even if cessation of military effort
should come. AS for publicity, it is
probable that there will be fifth Lib
erty loan honor flag, honor buttons
for subscribers, window cards for the
homes of bond buyers, percentage
stickers and art posters. 1t mas been
suggested that the honor flag, instead
of bearing five bars, might carry the
Roman mineral "V," standing not only
for five" but also for Victory"
