WILSON'S REPLY
SERVES AS spur
TO LOAN DRIVE
Great Effort Must Be Made to
Raise National Quota in
Five Days.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The dec
laration of President Wilson that ire
taxation now, hesitation now, would
mean defeat when victory seems to be
in sight and the reply of the Presi-
dent to the peace proposals of Ger
many were expected to act a spur to
workers in the campaign for the
fourth Liberty Loan. Nearly half the
loans six billion total remained today
to be subscribed and five days of the
campaign remained. This led Off
cials to emphasize that the success OF
Americas greatest war loan can only
be achieved by the most strenuous ef-
forts.
Subscriptions to the loan as report
ed by the twelve federal reserve banks
last night totalled $2,798,419,950. I'm
reported subscriptions to the close OF
business last night were estimated as
swelling the total to approximately
three billion dollars. With such a
showing bond sales for the next five
DAYS must be at rate OF nearly a
billion dollars day.
While the ST. Louis district was
leading in percentage Of quota raised
with 78 per cent, reports from the
Minneapolis district early today indi-
Gated that district had subscribed it's
allotment and would be the first to be
reported offiially over the top. The
Atlanta and Philadelphia districts
early today were the low distrits, eah
with 35 per ent. of its quota raised.

surrender in all proba hility would be
at once ratified and laid before Ger
many as the only price for respite
from attack.
The general elements of the terms
appear to all officers. 1t was point
ed out that it was the situa ton of to-
day at the front that constituted the
supremacy of which the president
speaks, the situation which must be
adequately safeguarded. AS compet-
ent military judges see that situation,
the German army is in desperate
straits, particularly for man-power
There also is striking evidence of
waning morale.
Stiffen Resistance.
With the shortage of man-power to
meet, it was said that the German
general staff has logically decided
upon shortening its lines to increase
the resisting power of it's reduced
forces. To accomplish a scientific re-
treat, however, the lines in the rear
must be prepared. organized and
equipped in advance and reserve
troops must be installed in those
lines to receive and check the shock
of enemy pursuit after the retreating
and reorganiZe in the rear. q
Under the terrific and never-ceasing
hammering of the allied armies, how
ever, they have no time to arrange
for withdrawal on the scale neces-
sary to meet their shrinking forces.
Many officers have feared that by
some diplomatic trickery the enemy
would secure enough time to fall back
on the Rhine. shorten his lines. redis-
tribute his forces. reconstitute his
stocks of guns and munitions and pre-
pare for long defensive battle
President Wilson's reply has shown
the enemy, it was said. that this pro-
gram no longer is possible to him.
He must fight it out now or surren-
der.
One allied officer, summarizing the
situation, said: Just as we had the
feeling last March of being always As
hours too late to stop the drive toward
Amiens, now the enemy dominated by
the power and continuity of our at
tachs, is no longer succeeding in fill
ing the gaps. But while in March our
forces were constantly increasing, to-
day those of the enemy decrease"
Nation Crying "kamerad."
To safeguard this hard won supre-
macy. it was said drastic measures
would be required in case Of an arnis
tice. Should Germany as nation cry
"Kamerad" it must be treated in the
military view substantially as the in
dividual German soldier who surren-
ders ii treated; it must be disarmed
and guarded. Disarmament of a ma
ton means rehabilitation. To pre-
vent any possibility of rehabilitation.
military necessity would require al
lied occupation Of strategic points of
communication. To insure suppress
sion Of submarines, occupation of sub
marine bases also would be essential
Guarding in this sense would mean
absolute control of the military ap-
proaches to German, Belgium. and the
way to the Rhine valley. The great
fortified zone of Metx-Thionville

threat on the French border. at the

P0incaire at St. Mihiel
fRv Associated Pressl

PARIS, Monday, Oct. 14.-President
Poincaire visited the Argonne front
Sunday. Verdun is still being bonn
barded daily by long distance German
guns. but the president went to St
Mihiel by the railroad through the
Meuse valley which had been out OF
commission for four years.
The president congratulated the peo-
pie of ST. Mihiel on their success in
conecaling 10000 francs in gold for
four years in spite Of the German
threats This money was handed
over 70 the French treasury as soon
the American forces had occupied the
town during the offensive early in
September. An American picket form

dent durin gthe ceremonies in the
st. Mihiel city hall square.

South of the new break in the Ger
man lines, the Germans have been in
a serious position for some time. Lille
has been in danger from the south
and this new attack threatens to out
flank the city from the north. Should
this occur. Lille will probably fall
and with it's fall Douai is certain to
be involved.
German Losses Heavy
There appears to be every reason
to believe that the Germans along the
fianks of the line from Solesmes to
the vicinity of Rethel will succeed in
delaying the allied advance long
enough to permit the forces in the big
Laon salient to escape in safety. All
reports of the fighting in this area
however, agree that the German losses
in material and munitions are very
heavy.
The success of the Americans cast
of the Argonne forest seems to bring
the Germans there face to face with
the necessity of either greatly
Strengthening the forces holding the
line or retiring to the northward. This
sector is so important to the future
development of German defensive
measures that it may be expected that
the enemy will strive by all means
to hold back the Americans.

Now Huns Want
to Save Towns
tBy Associated Press)

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 15-The Ger
man government has proposed to
France that in common with her al
lies France undertake to refrain from
bombarding large towns of northern
France and enter into an agreement
with Germany to permit at any rate
a portion of the population of Valen-
ciennes to pass into the French lines,
says an official statement from Ber-
lin.
The Berlin government in making
this proposal, represented itself as un-
able to prevent the eastward flight of
the popula ton of Valenciennes, owing
to their fear that the allies would
lombard the town. The proposal was
made through the Swiss government.
