 WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-From door to door. William c. McAdoo trudged in the rain today selling Liberty bonds. It was not the secretary of the treasury, but MT. McAdoo, citi- zen, member of a canvassing team. who gathered a pocket full of signed pledge cards from Washington resi- dents, including President Wilson, a negro maid, an Armenian grocer. a score of women war workers, a jani- tor and a millionaire or two. In a middle class neighborhood to which his team was assigned, MT. McAdoo got the most subscriptions and those which made him comment when his work was done:
 Gets Nearly Two Million
 Its a cinch to raise billions when folks come across like that"
 Late in the day, after an hour and half of tramping about, MT. Mo- Adoo and his working partners count ed up the total. They had a little less than s1,s00,ooo in pledges. A round million had come from Bernard Baruch, chairman of the war indus tries board, into whose house MT Me Adoo dropped on his way home. One pledge for s20,000 bore the signature | of Woodrow Wilson,, payable on a | ten months installment plan. Most of the balance was in $50 and s100 amounts. subscribed by householders who on answering their door bells dis played amazement to find a tall man l whom they recognized as the secre- tary of the treasury.
 Marietta Thompson, a negro maid at the home for war workers, had subscribed but agreed to buy another $50 bond if Mir. McAdoo would take the s initial payment in small change" He went away with a pocket full of quarters, dimes and nickels.
 President Takes S2o,00o More
 The sale to the president had not been arranged in advance. On leav- ing his home, MT. McAdoo directed the solicitors car to go to the White House. He found the president pre- pairing for a drive with Mrs. Wilson, and although Mir. Wilson had sub- scribed for s10,00o, he agreed to buy S20,000 more, adding: But I haven't any money just now. You'll have to : take this on the installment plan"
 Thereupon. the card was signed with the designation that payment WaS 10 DC maOe ten per cent Tn CaSn and ten per cent a month, arranged through bank.
 Not satisfied with this single sub scription at the White House. Mir. Nc Adoo turned to other members of the canvassing team and signed them up He also got the pledge of a negro door man at the White House. Raymond Baker Hailed

Puts Little Stock in It

LONDON, Oct. 7-The Morning Post, commenting on Prince Maximilian's peace proposal to President Wilson. takes the view that the German offer in nowise differs from the Austrian of fer; that the new chancellor is as muel, the kaiser's nominee as was his prede- cessor, and that he will be incontinent- ly dismissed when he has served his masters turn. The paper adds:
 "The German government is not al- tered. The peace note fails to fulfill the conditions postulated by President Wilson. The intention of the note is to endeavor to create a division among the allies and attract the attention of the pacifists in the allied countries. No proposal directed to one among the all lies can be entertained"

TEXT OF MAXIMILIAN'S
 SPEECH IS GIVEN

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 6.--The text of the address of Prince Maxmilian of Baden, the imperial chancellor of Germany outlining his policies to the reichstag yesterday, follows:
 ''In accordance with the imperial decree of Sep tember 30, the German empire has undergone basic alteration of its political leadership.
 "As successor to Count George F. Won Hertling, whose services in behalf of the fatherand deserve the highest acknowledgement, have been summoned by the emperor to lead the new government.
 Tn accordance with the governmental method now introduced I submit to the reichstag publicly and without delay, the principles upon which pro- pose to conduct the grave responsibilities of the office.
 "These principles were firmly established by the agreement of the federated governments and the lead CTS of the majority parties in this honorable house be- fore decided to assume the duties of chancellor They contain, therefore not only my confession of political faith but that of overwhelming portion of the German peoples representatives is of the German nation which has constituted the reichstag the basis of general equal and secret franchise and according to their will Only the fact that know the conviction and will of the majority of the people are back of me has given me strength to take upon myself conduct of the empire affairs this hard and earnest time in which are living.
 Based On the Peoples Rule
 "One mans shoulder would be too weak to carry along the tremendous Responsibility which falls upon the government at present Only if the people take active part in the broadest of the word in de-
 
 also tends to the majority of their freely selected po ical leaders, the leading statesman confidently sume his part of the responsibility in the service of folk and fatherland
 My resolve to do this has been especially light ened for by the fact that prominent leaders of the laborng class have found a way in the new govern men to the highest offices of the empire see therein sure guarantee that the government will be SUD- ported by the firm confidence of the broad masses of the people, without whose true support the whole dertaking would be condemned to failure in advance Hence what I say today, I say not only in my own name and those of my official hepers but the name of the German people,
 ''The program of the majority parties, upon which take my stand contains first, an acceptance of the of the former imperial government to Pope Benedict's note of August l. 1916, and and conditional acceptance of the reichstag resolution of July 19 the year. It further declares willing ness to join general league of nations based on the foundation of equal rights for all, both strong and weak.

will be reached before the end of the

Saturday and today Postmaster
Morgareidge says he is too busy selling
stamps to make report but he is con
fident that Moscow will reach her
quota this month and that the county's
quota of $4,000 will be taken.
The Red Cross drive is going forward
well, despite the influenza epidemic
which has hindered the work in every To-

the fundamental principle.
One plan that seems to meet gen
eral favor is to select delegates to a
state convention at county primary.
1t is contended that selection of candi-

will bring out representative vote
and the selection of state convention
delegates would in. turn be repre-
sentative of the popular will. The
convention would analyze all candi-
dates for state positions and select
