AMOUNT IS OvERSUBSCRIBED
Treasury Officials Confident
That Purchases Will Go
Beyond Six Billion.
COMPLETE FIGURES AWAITED
Further Announcements Will
Be Made When Totals Are
Secured From Banks.

WASHINGTON. oct. 2l.-Aftcr
reading IA number OF late reports on
the outcome OF the fourth Liberty
loan campaign which closed Satur-
day. treasury officials declared to-
night there is little certainty at this
time either OF the total volume OF
subscriptions or the number OF sub
scribers. They still felt no doubt
that the loan had been oversub
scribed but explained that many
earlier messages appeared too opti-
nhstic In tho light OF actual figures
being compiled by every bank anp
local committee over the country.
Some cities which az first reported
they were heavily ovcrsubscribed,
discovered they barely went over
their marks.
There was good ground for the
estimate that 22.0OO,0O0 or more
individuals had subscribed to the
greatest war loan ever floated by any
government. The fact that many OF
these reported lump subscriptions by
corporations which later would re
sell bonds to their employees led to
the belief that the number OF actual
bond holders would be considerably
higher.
Owing to the present uncertainty.
the treasury expects to make no fur
ther announcement concerning the
results OF the loan until definite and
official figures are received from
each federal reserve bank. The first
of these reports Is hardly looked
for before next Monday and the final
compilations may be delayed for two
weeks.
A digest Of reports 30 far received
indicates clearly. officials say. that
the house to house canvassing meth
cd, or the system OF having citizens
call voluntarily at polling places
should be used much more extensive
ly in the fifth Liberty loan campaign
set for next spBing.
The navy subscribed more than
81 900, 900 said an announcement to-
day by Rear Admiral Cowie. navy
Liberty loan officer. and this figure
will be raised by later reports The
army also made fine record, but
the figures are yet incomplete. Cen
eral PerShinE cabled that up TO Oc-
tober "a, members OF the American
eXpcditlOnary force had subscribed
tl,207. 900 and that this probably
would run to two million or more.

GERMANS MAY REALLY
ACCEPT ALLIED TERMS.

WARRINGTON, Oct 81. Ger
many has replied TO President Will
| son with at note which. though no
one IL prepared to say II will lead
the president even to continue ex-
changes on the subject OF an armis-
tiCe and peace, at least has served
| almost To bring conviction here that
the people OF Germany actually are
taking the reins OF government and
| sincerely desire peace on any terms
the United States and the allies are
willing 10 give.
There was no Official intlmatlon
here tonight OF the attitude OF the
president and probably there will be
none until the official text Of the
new German communication has
been received.
Tho president was In conference
all evening with Secretary Lansing
discussing the note as received by
wireless earlier in tho day.
Note Expected Today.
Like the reply 20 the presidents
inquiries n week ago, this note was
sent out from the German wireless
stations and picked up in the allied
countries many hours before the Of
fetal toxt could move by cable. The
official version probably will como
tomorrow through the Swiss legation
here.
As received by wireless the note
is believed to be slightly garbled In
the important sentences regarding
conditions for the evacuation OF in
vaded territory and for an armistice,
but nevertheless 1t is regarded as an
awkward attempt TO meet the con-
ditions laid down by President VII
son for consideration OF an armistice.
And II makes the significant dec
laration that the government in Ber-
lin no longer IL responsible to a
single arbitrary influence --- tho
kaisor--but is supported by an over
wholming majority Of the German
people.
This declaration is supported by
the statement that constitutional re-
forms are in progress In accord with
the determination of the people un-
dor which no government can take
or hold office without the confidence
Of the majority OF a reichstag elect
ed by universal secret suffrage.
People Want Peace.
II is accorded more consideration
here because Of confidential advices
received only today indicating that
the German middle classes have re-
solved to have peace at any price
and II necessary are prepared to get
rig Of the kaiser. the crown prince
and all military control.
Thus the belief Is strengthened
that the present note and those that
have gone before are genuine efforts
to obtain peace. and are inconclusive
merely because the Germans con-
ducting the exchanges are seeking to
bargain for something better than
tho unconditional surrender they are
prepared to give II pushed to the
wall. 1t IL assumed also that they
want TO prepare gradually the Ger
man nublic for . realization Of wha

Here Are FeW Items
Germany Must Meet
in Debt to Belgium

LONDON, Oct. 21.-(via Mon
treal Some OF the items which
figured in Germany's bill in Bel
GUM are given as follows from an
official Belgian source:
Local contributions and fines
levied by Germany on Belgium in
1914-S,O 100000 pounds.
War contributions from Novem-
ber. 1914, to October, 1916-3S,-

pounds.
War contributions from June to
October of the current ycar-l5,-
100000 pounds.
Raw materials and machinery
taken by the Germans were reck-
oned BY them in January. 1915 at
SO,000,OO0 pounds
The damage to December, 1914,
estimated by the North German
Gazette. amounted to 200,000,OO0
pounds.
This makes a grand total Of
Si,2OO,00O pounds.
These items do not include ma

must be reckoned at several hun

During the winter OF 1916 Bel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Con-
s'ruction Of the North sea mine bar
rage against submarines, laying of an
oil pipe line across Scotland, estab-
lishment OF naval aviation statiops
from the spanish border to the Eng
llsh channel and other details OF the
work Of the American navy in for
eign waters were given to the pub
lie today by Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, who recently returned
from visit To Europe.
The American people seem TO
have very little idea OF the extent OF
our naval activities abroad" said
Secretary Roosevelt. THE tendency
is 10 think merely OF the conveying
and patrol work our destroyerS and
other vessels are doing and the pres
ence OF our battleships with the Brit
ish fleet But important as this is.
II is only a part OF our activities and
there are dozens OF other things of
importance of which little has bedn
said"
The building of the northern mine
, barrage was one of the biggest
|, things ever accomplished in ord
nance work, Mr.. Roosevelt said. In
turning out material for 1t, a num-
Der Of plants in this country were
kept busy for months. Several
American bases were established on
the British coast to lay and handle
the mines.
To save haulage OF oil. the Ameri-
can navy has undertaken to contract
a pipeline across Scotland.
IAN the way from the Spanish
border clear around TO the English
channel" said Mr.. Roosevelt, I'VE
have established aviation stations so
spaced that the entire coast line is
covered by seaplanes and dirigibles.
These stations were built almost en-
tirely by our sailors. At each sta
ton there is an average of from two
hundred to three hundred men. This
aviation force and our patrol ves-
sells have been doing such splendid
work that for the past six months
there have been practically no sink
ings within fifty miles OF the French
coast We hope TO extend this pa
troll zone TO a hundred miles"
In northern France, in cooper
alton with the British an dBelgians,
Secretary Roosevelt said, there had
been established what Is known as
the northern bombing group com
posed Of a number OF aviation units
which did much to prevent the Ger
mans from again using Zeebrugge
and Ostend as submarine bases.
An American naval force cooper
atng with the British at Gibraltar Is
patrolling the Atlantic in that
vicinity and is acting as convoy to
vessels going to and from Italy.
Greece and Egypt. There Is a fly
ing school with several naval avi-
alton units on duty in Italy while
on the Adriatlc is a large group Of
submarine chasers.
Each naval base has its hospital,
Secretary Roosevelt said. and in
Scotland an entire watering place
has been taken over by the Ameri-
cans for use as a hospital.
