eign affairs committee that Germany will make the constitutional modifi- cations necessary to realize the de- mand for a democratic form of gov- ernment and abdication of military control. is regarded as clearly in.ii- eating the Austrian purpose to do like wise. Events are moving in the same direction in Turkey where the Sultan has declared for representative gov ernment, so that the conclusion is ir- resistible that the whole programme of constitutional reform now under way is the result of an agreement be- tween the allies to meet one of the Presidents conditions for cessation of hostilities.
 CEASE LOOPING
 Baron Burian's statement that Ger many will be in position to accept the Presidents demands regarding the humanization of the war appears to be borne out in a measure bv re- ports iron. he battle front in Eel giuin and northern France that the Germans are not footing and destroy-
 ing private property as heretofore. If this Is followed by the abandonment of submarine attacks on merchant shipping. officials realize Shat the principal obstacle in the way of an ad- justneIt will be found only in the ar rangement Of an armisticc-
 There is no doubt that the Germans will make a desperate effort 10 resist the announced purpose of ,he President to leave the terpis of an armistice to the military commanders of the Ameri- can and allied forces. and it may be sometime before they are sufficiently hunlbled in spirit to admit that 1t is not for them to dictate. but simply to accept such terms as these military comma nders may choose [, impose. In fact, I;aron Eurian's address before the Austrian committee is taken to in- idicate clearly that Germany desires to enter into negotiations on these points and will cling obstinately to it's plan of mixed commission to deal with the matter of evacuation.

Correspondent Tells. of Awful Condi- tions in Hun Prison Camps After Recent Inspection-Must

Special Cable Dispatch to The New
 York Sun and The DirminEhan Aee-
 Herald.
 Amsterdam, October 17-The principal camps in Germany where American prisoners of war are confined are at Darn stadt, I4imburg, Meschede, Giessen, Dulman, Iahn and the Sennelager near Paderborn.
 In the three enclosures first mentioned the correspondent found 70o Americans: in Gissen there were more than 25O and at Paderborn about 400. These numbers have not been considerably increased since I counted them last week. From escaped British officers it is learned. however that there are 20 American or fcers at Hozminden and that some American officers are lodged in infantry barracks at Graudenz, in West Prussia where British officers are also confined.
 AMERICANS SEGREGATED
 American prisoners are segregated from es'SSo oA o'AA~A ~eAOAs>1ieacSs put IHe treat ment they receive does not differ from that of others. Slightest resistance to any command is a signal for kicks and for blows from the butts of the guard s rifles. The offender is then confined for three days on a diet of bread and water, followed by a day of the regular prison fare and then by more bread and water
 The prisoners are worked from dawn until dusk. They are helping to con- struct military works and also are la boring in the fields. on the railways, in steel factories and coal pits. For indus try which is classed as ordinary labor they receive the same pay as German priyate soldier, about % of cent a day. For the heavier work in the coal mines

Following closely the radical changes in the German governmental structure as recorded in cable dis patches from Amsterdam and Rotter- dam. information came to the state department today that the Austrian Emperor has announced to the foreign affairs committee of Parliament his purpose to grant autonomy to the op- pressed nationalities in the dual em- pire The right to autonomous exis- tence for these nationalities is one of the peace requirements laid down by President Wilson.
 Bitter opposition from the intensely conservative German and Magyar com ponents of the empire is certain to be aroused by this radical change in the system of government, but it is be- lieved Emperor Charles thinks this can be overbalanced by tho measure of support he will receive from the liberal clements and the separa lists parties especially if he can make it appear that the change is a long step toward the final peace so, insistently demanded by the populace.
 EVENTS MOVING SWIFTLY
 The announcement from Copenhagen today of the reading of decree in the Hungarian Parliament recognizing Hungary as a separate state Is re- garded as an earnest forerunner of what is to come to the other nationali- ties of the empire. It has been sug- gested that the delay in dispatching the Presidents reply to the Austrian appeal for an armistice may be ac- counted for by the conviction of offi- cials that events are moving 70 rap- idly in Austria Hungary that 1t would be wise to await the outcome Of the present agitation there Tn order to adapt the reply to the new conditions

LOAN SUBSCRIPTION | BOOKS WILL CLOSE SATURDAY NIGHT No Extension of Time Limit Will Be Granted, McAd0o
 Announces
TWO DAYS REMAIN
 TO COMPLETE DRIVE
Subscriptions Reported and Unre- ported Now Probably Total Four Billions, Leaving Two Billions
 Yet to Be Raised

Washington, October IT, Fourth Liberty Loan subscrip- tions, reported and unreported, probably amount to $4,O00,- 00o,OO0, although those actual ly tabulated by headquarters here aggregate $3,6O7, ,597 ,350, the treasury announced to- night,
 Two days remain for the raising of 5000, 100000.
 On Saturday night subscription books will close absolutely, Secretary McAdoo declared today. thus setting at rest persistent reports that owing to the retarding influence of the influenza epidemic, the government contemplated giving the nation another week in which to enter pledges
 New reasons why the loan should not be only raised but oversubscribed. as emphasized by Secretary McAdoo, are that tremendous war expenses will con- Htinue to run on for many months re- gardless of the outcome of Germany'y efforts for peace. Even if peace should come soon--and no agency of the gov ernment is drawing it's plans in this definite belief--there will be immense manufacturing contracts to be fulfilled armies to be brought back to America and multitude of other expenses which the momentum of war will carry on
 OTHER LOANS NECESSARY
 This means other war loans, Secretary McAdoo explained. And whatever the measure of oversubscription to tho fourth loan may be it will be de- ducted from other loans SD that there will be no danger of piling up idle credit to the government account.
 Actually, the funds now being gath cred in units of $50 and s100 have aI- ready been spent to great extent.
 More than three-fourths of the St, ,0oo.- 900, 900 expected, or $4,665, 900, GOO. must issued in bi-weekly blocks since last June to get current funds with which to pay the nations war bIls. The diff ference between that sum of the $6,000.- 100000 is not enough to run the govern ment for one month. Consequently. un- less the fourth loan is greatly over subscribed the treasury will have to begin soon to issue more certificates for current expenses---these to be re- paid out of proceeds from the next loan.
 Secretary McAdoo is anxious that all citizens understand this situation, be- lieving that their subscriptions will he

SIX LICENSES ISSUED HERE.
Anyone Buying, Selling or Using Elk.
plosives Must Have Permit.

Clerk Of Court J. S. Barman, ex-
plosives licensor for Ascension parish,
has issued six licenses to date, four
being taken out by Donaldsonville
druggists whose stocks contain chemi-
Gals and other ingredients entering
into the manufacture of explosive
compounds, and two by corporations
having occasion to use explosives in
blasting and dredging operations.
The licensees are: Charles Oschwald,
P. L. Blanchard, Holbrook & Griffon
and Dr.. J. H. Lowery, owners respect
iveIy Of the Palace, Central, X-Ray
and Cut-Rate drug stores, in Donald
sonville; the Miles. Planting and Man
ufacturing Company, Of Burnside,
and Picard & Geismar, Ltd, Of Gels
mar. Other applications for licenses
are pending before Mr.. Barman.
It is considered most important that
the active cooperation Of citizens
with the licensor be had, and anyone
who learn of explosives being in the
hands of unwarranted OF unlicensed
parties should report the same at
once in person or by mail to Mr.. Bar
man.
The new United States explosive
laws are very drastic, but the necessi-
ty is apparent IN connection with the
Importance of keeping explosives and
the ingredients of which they are
made out Of the hands of disloyal
persons. Embarrassment and incon-
venience may be caused in certain
cases, but the Importance of the end
in view overrides all personal interest.
Under the new law, no one is per-
rnitted to manufacture, deal in or
handle explosives or the ingredients
thereof without governmental license,
and heavy penalties are provided for
non-observance of the act. ALI COM
mon carriers must in connection with
the transportation of explosives,
cause to be indorsed on the bill of
lading and way bill information as to
license number of shipper. The su-
pervision of this important matter
will be kept well in hand.
