SECOND AVENuEAND FINE oihhEi

JUST THE OLD HUN TRICK
London Press Asserts Austria's Peace
Conference Is Cynical and
lnsincere.

London.-The Daily Mail, under the
heading "The Word Of Austria, but
the Kaiser's Voice." says the Austrian
invitation to the allies to open ''a con-
fidential, nonbinding discussion" Of
peace terms is another form of the old
German trick.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Nego-
tiations at the present moment even
though they brought temporary peace
would only postpone the final struggle
between might and right. So long as
the kaiser and his pam Germans direct
with irresistible authority the destinies
Of Germany so long can there be no
question of an armistice or purely
academic negotiations. The note is dis
ingenious, cynical, and insincere-an
attempt to divert the entente powers
from resolute prosecution of the
war"
The Austrian note is regarded in
this country as a maneuver to obtain
needed breathing space for the sorely
tried central empires and to impress
their own people with the desires of
their rulers for a cessation of, the
struggle which is wearing them to a
shadow.
Undoubtedly 1t is part of COM
bined peace offensive which has been
expected for some time, and which has
taken definite form within the last
few days. 1t is one of three moves
which have been made almost stimuli
taneously by enemy states.

Confidence in Ability to Raise Aliot'

Minneapolis, Sept. 5.-Unbounded
confidence in the ability of the Ninth
Federal Reserve District to raise it's
quota of $210,000,000 in the Fourth
Liberty Loan was expressed by A. R.
Rogers, Liberty Loan chairman.
Our workers are all prepared he
declared. Everyone is ready and
eager to go ahead. We are not sur
prised at the amount of our quota. 1t
is only 100000 more than we raised
last time

without question. to reach our allot-
ment. The people in the district have
been unusually prosperous this fall and
are anxious to do their patriotic duty.
All Units Know Quota.
Every one of the 800 counties in
the district and every municipality
has received it's quota. All say they
will do whatever is expected of them.
I'VE are fully confident that we will
reach our allotment in dollars, but we
are especially anxious to achieve as
great a distribution as possible. \ We
hope to excel all other districts in
this matter of distribution-in other
words, we want just as many bond
holders as possible" Distribution
means the number of individual loan
subscribers, Mr.. Rogers explained.

BATTLES LARGE DIVER
American Ship Encounters Ger
man Submarine.
Gun Crew on Steamer Scores Hill
During Fight OFF the Atlantic
Seaboard.

An Atlantic Port, Sept. 25.-While
lying in wait for transatlantic vessels
500 miles off the American coast,
large German submarine is believed to
have been put out of commission, per-
haps sunk, by the United States ship
ping board steamship Nansemond.
The encounter, according to the
Nansemond's master. Capt. William
Macleod, began at 12:i5 p. m. Sept.
10 and lasted 45 minutes. Thirty-four
shots were fired by the steamer, one
of which, a 6-inch explosive she'll, fired
at a three-mile range, was followed by
the eruption from the submersible OF
a cloud of black, smoke mingled with
splinters. Immediately after this shot
the submarine, which previously had
shown only her periscope, bobbed to
the surface awash and made slowly
off. Captain Macleod and his men are
of the opinion that they scored dam
aging hit.
An encounter with a submarine in
the same vicinity was reported by a
British steamship just arrived with
evidences of damage by shell fire. The
gun crew believe that they sank the
U-boat after a running fight during
which the two vessels exchanged more
than $50 shots. The freighter's chart
house was demolished and a lifeboat

Washington, Sept. 25.-In the three
American people will be asked to SUBJ

tory.
The Treasury department an
nounced that the amount of this, the
fourth Liberty Loan, will be $6,000,-
100000 The bonds will bear Az per
cent interest and will mature in 20
years, with the government reserving
the right to pay them in Is years if
it elects.
Quotas Are Announced.
In making public these final details
of the loan the Treasury also gave
out the quotas each federal district is
expected to subscribe and from which
will be figured the share of each state,
county, city and hamlet. Apportion-
ment of the states and smaller subdi-
visions will be worked out by district
organizations and announced within a
few days. BY the time the campaign
opens a moment after next Friday at
midnight, every community may know
what goal it will have to reach to gain
the coveted honor flag.
In assigning quotas the Treasury
took into consideration unusual con-
ditions either of prosperity or of bust
ness hardships, as we'll as the banking
resources of each district. New York
with it's big financial interests and cor
porations' headquarters is asked to
raise $1,80O,OO0,000 or 80 per cent of
the total.
The Chicago district quota is placed
at 141a per cent and Cleveland at 10
per cent. Dallas, partly because of re-
cent drouths in the Southwest, is
asked for only 2 lilo per cent.
Following are the quotas and per-
centages of the total by federal re-

Austro-H Hungarian Foreign Min
lister Comments on Reception
of Peace Note.
RApS UNITED STATES
American Government Is Referred to
as Having Acted Improperly in
Treatment of Colombia and
Seizure of Texas.

Amsterdam, Sept 25.-Baron Won
Burian, Austro-Hungarian foreign MIN
lister, in an interview given to Der.
lin newspaper, said he was not sur
prised at the reception of his peace
note; naturally he did not suppose that
the Allies would at once declare
readiness to enter into peace negotia-
tions.
In a situation like the present"
continued the minister lit is some
times necessary to clarity things gy
means of reagents. The note was such
a re-agent 1t has already produced
remarkable phenomena and will do so
still more in the near future.
Quick Answer Extraordinary"
Very extraordinary, for instance,
was the remarkable rapidity of Presi-
dent Wilson's reply. Clearly Presl-
dent Wilson wanted to anticipate the
other governments. He always had
the ambition to be world arbiter and
has not abandoned that ambition since
the United States entered the war as
a result of the U-boat warfare. Hence
he set out his Ia points, and, in addi-
ton, twice four that is, altogether,
%. which are to be authoritative for
the new arrangement of the world.
Il don't suggest that he is insin-
cere, but one could instance many
cases where America herself has Of
Tended against the principles he form
ulates for example, the treatment of
Colombia and the seizure Of Texas.
But, after, all, large regions were
thereby opened to civilization. / will
only say that it does not do to be al
ways contrasting our actions with the
views expressed by President Wilson's
points"
Baron Burian attributed President
Wilson's haste in replying to his de-
sire to prevent an agreement between
Great Britain and France. He de-
clared that it would serve no purpose
to reply to speeches like Mr.. Balfour's
and Premier Clemenceaus. With re-
gard to the date of dispatching the
note, he said:
Agreement With Germany.
There was complete agreement be-
tween us and Germany. There were
certain divergences of opinion but they
did not concern the date of dispatch.
We do not want to reproach our
selves.later with having neglected any
thing. The note has had the subsidiary
effect of dragging into the light of day
the situation in the opposing camp and
its non-success will not prevent me
from further following the road en-.
tered upon We shall take the next
step when the time seems suitable and
always in the fullest accord with
our allies"

New York, Sept 25.-Six billion dol

by William G. McAdoo, secretary of
the treasury, in stirring address here
outlining the governments plan for

The share allotted to New York
Federal Reserve district is $780,
600 900, or 80 per cent of the great

will bear Az per cent interest, will
run for 20 years, maturing Oct. Is,

exercise its reserved right to redeem
the bonds on or after Oct. Is, 1888.
Asserting that without this vast
sum 1--WE cannot lick the kaiser" the
secretary made a special appeal for
the subscriptions of corporations and
wealthy individuals, as returns from
the third Liberty Loan indicated that
wealthy corporations and persons of
large means had not responded 'com-
