Despite the serious lnterferense or the influenza epidemic with campaign plans. analysis of reports show that it is not the states where the cpl demic is worst that have the poorest showings. In New England, where the disease has been most widespread some of the best records have been made.
 St. Louis district managers reported today that influenza was spreading and affecting many workers, but those remaining were going ahead with a determination to achieve the districts quota early next week.
 The city of Minneapolis today be- came the first federal reserve district center to raise its quota, with sub scriptions of S27,000,000.
 In Chicago district. 1922 communi- ties have been awarded honor flags.

These officers regard the move of the German chancellor as a desperate eleventh hour attempt to escape se- riOus military disaster and they would not be surprised if President Wilson's condition that there can be no talk of an armistice except when coupled with agreement to withdraw immedi- ately from all invaded territory were promptly acceded to. The answer to such a move, it was suggested today. would be to leave Marshal Foch the dictatiOn of the terms of the armistice should the situation ever reach that stage, as the supreme commander can be trusted to see that no military ad- vantage to the enemy resulted. In the meanwhile Marshal FOch hour by hour is surrounding the German forces with new perils as his strategic con- captions are developed.
 Evidence of the waning resisting power of the German forces in France was plainly seen by observers here in the sweep forward of the Anglo-Amer- ican forces north of St Quentin. Ap- parently there has been no material lowering of the fighting quality of the enemy soldiers. but there is every evi- dence that the complex military organ ization upon which defense of the long battle front depends is breaking un- der the strain. Signs of confusion have been noted repeatedly. Wornout divisions have been called upon to check the assault of fresh allied troops and have been cut to pieces.
 These are signs only, for the enemy front still offers a grim obstacle to the advancing armies and the battle is growing daily in fury instead of lessening. But the signs are there They mean a vital weakness at the heart of the great machine; the ab- solute lack of the men and war equip ment to meet the combined assault in- definitely.
 In the line between Verdun and the sea. two salients are developing The first has it's apex along the LaOn front, where the enemy still clings to St Gobian forest and part of the Chemin Des Danes ridge. The second has it's greatest depth before Lens. Be- tween these two pockets the Anglo NhitAANdh uAl NNs ouhhANAANAANN ny iAAD French advance east of St. Quentin, has thrust a blunt wedge which not only has engulfed Cambrai, but has torn it's way through the whole Hin denburg defense zone into open coun- try beyond.
 On the north. the British force pressing in on Lille from the west and south forms the northern jaw of possible pincer movement against the whole Douai salient The Germans began a retirement on the Lens-Ar- mentieres front some time ago which

TREASURY MUCH
 WORRIED OVER
 SLOW RESPONSE
Admitted That Serious Con- cern Is Felt Over Slow Pro- gress of Liberty Loan To- Ward Goal

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The treas urv department today openly admitted that the slow progress of the fourth Liberty loan towards its six billion dollar goal is a matter of serious con cern. With the three weeks sub scription period half gone, the loan is cnly 30 per cent subscribed. The to- tai report to the treasury up to to- night is $1,791, ,46S, 200.
 "There is no use denying or at tempting to camouflage the fact that Liberty loan committees throughout the country are confronted with serl- ous situation" said the treasury state ment reviewing the campaign reports.
 "If the loan is to be subscribed, a daily average of $467 100000 must be raised between now and October 19.
 "Cognizant of the fact that the loan never can succeed at it's present rate of speed, canvassers throughout the country are stating plainly to all citi- zens that they must buy bonds in larger amounts than heretofore. Wealthy persons particularly must go deeper into their capital or extend their credit and not depend upon their current income to pay for bonds. Peo- ple of moderate and small means must pledge their future earnings in great CT degree"
 Double the third" has been adopt ed as a slogan in many districts to stimulate subscribers to do twice as much as they did in the last loan.
 Subscriptions by districts and per centages of quotas were reported as follows:

CHANPACNEF!GHI!I GROWS STRONGER
 WITH EACH HOUR
Huns Hurl Selves Upon Posi- tions Occupied Yesterday by Gouraud but Without any Success

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN CHAMPAIGN. Oct. 9, e p. m., by the Associated Press.)-The battle in Champagne is going on with increas- ing intensity today from the Aisne In the region of VauX-Les-Mouron, which was taken this morning by the French to the Suippe river at Brazancourt' which is violently attacked by the Germans. North of St. Etienne, on the Arnes river the enemy made vigorous assault upon the positions won by General Gouraud's men Tues day. but without other results than to increase largely the German casual ties.
 Notwithstanding the stubborn oppo- sition the enemy is offering on the Suippe and north of Arnes the impress sion still is that he is merely seeking to gain time to reduce the difficulties of retreat. the extent of which. Tn view of the development on the ex- treme left wing of the fighting front, it is impossible to forecast.
 The vigor and perseverance of the allier pressure appears to have de- ranged all the German plans. No where have the Germans with all their genius in organization been able to prepare a stable position upon which their defeated troops could retire fin security, which suggests that they again have erred in their judgment of the strength and endurance of the entente allied fighting forces.
 InfnnfnA mot only at points chosen for attacks by Mar shal Foch and his generals, but on ground selected by themselves for counter attacks.
 Their reaction all along the Cham pagne front thus far has been produc- tive of only one result relatively fa- vorable to them. in the region of the Grand Pre- gap which they have been able to keep open up to the present. although the gap is under the heavy fire of the French guns.
 The latest American advance north ward to the east of the ArgOnne for est has neutralized that result. The Grand Pre- gap now is virtually closed, and the only real lines of communica- tion for the enemy forces operating in Champagne are northward by You ziers and Rethel. and most of these lines over considerable distances are being shelled by the French artillery.
 Unless by supreme effort and utiliz- ing available reserves the Germans still are able to make a stand on the Sisson line north of the Aisne their elastic retirement may turn suddenly into a general retreat.

AUSTRIA EVEN WORSE
GERMANY LED TO FEAR THAT DUAL MONARCHY AS UNIT OR SEPARATELY MAY FOLLOW Ex- AMPLE OF BULGARIA. AND Ac- cEPT UNCONDITIONAL PEACE
CRr Revlew Leased WIrel


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-An early response to President Wilson's note of inquiry to the German chancellor is expected by American officials. While realizing that an answer to the three pertinent questions put to the prince of Baden will be very diff cut if the original proposal of the Ger man government was sincere, Of- ficials are confident that internal conditions in Germany and the tre- mendous exigencies of the military situation vii force speedy action by the chancellor if he hopes to prOlong the existence of his cabinet beyond a few days.
 So fan as the hold of the govern ment upCn the people is concerned. conditions in Austria are even far worse than those in Germany. This fact is calculated strongly to affect the German government which is uu- derstOOd to entertain grave doubts of the strength of purpose of the dual monarchy and to fear that Austria. or perhaps Hungary. acting independ- ently, will follow Bulgaria in seeking an unconditional peace This would leave Germany to wage the war alone. for it is a fOregOne conclusion tSat Turkey already is lost tO the central alliance.
 The pointed inquiry directed to Prince Max as tO whether he is speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the empire who have so far conducted the war. will. it IS believed. be very embarrassing- lf the response is in the affirmative. Germany's proposal will be rejected. as the president has already given notice that he will have no dealing with such authorities
 The powerful social elements in the reichstag also are counted upon 70 chancellor as directly in conflict wih the reichstag resolution of July. 1917. and with the very recent pledges tO make the cabinet a representative body. under which the socialists were entitled to take part in the gov ernment
 On the other hand if Max attempts to repudiate the military party he un- doubtedly will bring about a demand from that still powerful organization for his retirement
 The general belief here is that the chancellor will endeavor to Ind a middle course and confine himself in his reply to halfway admissions. hoping thus to begin a IoDg diplomatic discussion which might develop dilii- culties between the entente allies and America as to war aims. and to lower the morale c the armies op- posed Go the central powers.
 Any such move is certain of fail ure
 The fact that American Ambassa- dor Sharp is making a personal inves- tigation of the havoc wrought by the Germans in their forced retreat from French and Belgian territory. has led to the belief that it is the purpose oi the state department to support fully the enormous claims for damages which Germany must meet as a of peace.

CAVALRYfCHASES ENTERTAINING HUN }
 FORCE IN FIELD
British Troops Break Through Lines and in Many Places Have Lost Contact With German Soldiers.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY ON CAMBRAI-ST. QUENTIN FRONT, Oct (By the Associated Press).- The German troops on a twenty mile front have been put to full flight and the British cavalry is reported to be pursuing them, the infantry marching in columns of four through villages hastily abandoned by the enemy.
 Cambrai has fallen and the British now are we'll to the east
 The deepest gain some hours ago was at least nine miles on this sec tor and there are no signs of the ad- vance slowing up. On the contrary, it is going faster every hour. with clear ground ahead.
 Everything that could be burned had been set afire by the enemy be. fore he began what virtually amounts to the rout of no less than thirty di- visions. the smashing of which was continued furiously today.
 North of Cambrai the Canadians at tackled and penetrated deeply also.
 The British marched through Der try without opposition. They reached the outskirts of TrOisyillers and hold MaurOis and Honnechy.
 Large forces of the enemy have been seen from the air fleeing we'll to the east of Le Cateau. Maretz fell early and the British reached Busigny and passed quickly through Bohain. These are only a few or more than a score of towns captured.
 Many thousands of prisoners and quantities of field and machine guns were taken. as well as vast stores of other booty. which the enemy did not have time to blow up or set afire.
 All this was the immediate effect of Yesterdays great victories. which are being exploited to the fullest The Germans may try to make stand on their partly completed line at Le Ca teau but they have been badly pun ished and they face an overwhelming disaster.

 PARIS, Oct. Recommending on President Wilson's reply, the Jour- nal Des Debats says:
 This very adroit reply does the greatest honor to it's author. It counter acts the Germanic calcu- lations. The Vienna and Berlin cabinets sought to place the Unit ed States before a dilemma-either to accept the armistice, which would give Germany time to re- construct her harassed troops, or to evoke in Germany. by a refusal of the offer of peace. a patriotic movement which would rally round the new government the whole nation, including the social ists.

 "The last paragraph of Presi- dent Wilson's note made a deep impression on Parisians and caused much favorable comment as it was taken by the people to directly concern the Hohenzol- Tern family and the military party of Germany. The general feeling is that the diplomatic tables have been turned on Germany which tried to place the allies in a diff cub position and that Germany now finds herself face to face with a great problem which she attempts to force the allies to solve.
