day, Oct 3-British forces broke
through the entire Hindenburg defense
system in the neighborhood of Fres-
been made cavalry forces swept
through, being followed closely by
"whippet" tanks and armored cars.
According to reports which are con-
sidered reliable, the village of Fres-
noy itself was taken soon afterward.
Allied airplanes which have been
flying low over the country in the
rear of the Hindenburg line report
that there are only one or two thinly
held and hurridly built trench lines in
front of the advancing British. This
is a perfect cavalry country. and with
this force free behind the enemy's
lines. the entire German positions
north and south of St. Quentin are
gravely menaced.
Many Germans Killed.
After the cavalry and tanks had
dashed into the open country behind
the Hindenburg line. infantry and
masses of machine gunners poured
the break. This force is TAX

have held their lines in the defensive
system are in danger of being cut off.
The enemy appears to be in full
fight north of the break in the line.
Allied patrols have penetrated further
into Cambrai, from which the Germans
seem to be withdrawing.

GERMANS MAKE
GIANT EFFORT
TO STEM TIDE
Enemy Uses Best Troops in
Desperate Attempt to Hold
Off Allies.
(By Associated Press)

LONDON. Oct. 4-News from all
sectors Of the western front tells of
giant efforts by the enemy to stem
the daily advancing tide Of battle.
The Germans are putting in their
best troops and according to all cor
respondents are fighting with the en-
ergy of desperation.
Still there is no sign of any great
retreat, except the withdrawal in the
Flanders sector. where the British
have occupied Armentieres and Lens
and are closely pressing the retiring
enemy. The recapture of the great
French coal region affords great sat
isfaction here.
In the Sequehart-Bony sector the
allied breach in the Hindenburg sys
tenn was extended today and the
fighting reached the outskirts of
Montbrehain where Australian units
with tanks are operating.
The importance German attach to
the retention Of this portion of the
line is indicated by the Frankfort
Gazette, which states that in order to
prevent a frontal break through be-
tween Cambrai and st. Quentin, Gen.
eral Won Boehn's army has been made
so strong that it is equivalent to
complete army group. The Gazette
declares There is great danger
along the whole western front"
Counter Attack Heavily
1t cannot be long before an import
ant enemy retreat from the linden
burg line is bound to occur, accord
ing to the universal military opinion
here. In the meantime, the Germans
are putting forth enormous efforts
They are counter attacking heavily
and the battle is swaying back and
forth in deadly grapple.
Interesting news comes from east
ern Europe. Austria has withdrawn
her troops in Albania and the Italia MS
have recaptured Berat. 1t Is learned
in official quarters that German resi-
dents of Sofia and Constantinople, in
Guiding officers and their families, are
leaving hastily and going through Ru-
mania to Germany.
Greek re-occupation of eastern Mace
donia is proceeding steadily at the
rate of about eight miles daily.
There has been no further news as
to the attitude of Turkey. It is
pointed out as a matter to some ex-
tent governing the situation, that the
whole Turkish fleet in the Black Sea
Is manned entirely by Germans, while
Constantinople itself and the Bosphor-
us batteries are garrisoned by Ger
mans and Austrians. There is re-
port that Persia is beginning to show
signs of taking sides with the allies.
In considering the question of the
attitude of Austria Hungary the pos
sibility of Hungary taking action sep
arate from Austria should not be ig-
nored.

GUN EMPLACEMENTS
FOUND IN .ARGONNE
(By Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Thurs
day, Oct 3.-Two concrete emplace-
ments for big guns were discovered
west of Varennes when New York
troops advanced along the eastern
edge of the Argonne forest few days
ago. The guns had been removed but
engineers believe that they were Aus
trian 305s.
The emplacements were one hun
dred yards apart and apparently were
built more than year ago. A rail-
road had been built leading up to them
and this enabled the enemy to remove
the guns, ammunition and every thing
of value.
French and American heavy artil-
lery battered the enemy positions
throughout the entire region along this
front and it is believed that the Ger
mans made haste in removing the big
guns as soon as they saw that seri-
GUS attack was impending.
81 Big~gAns were scattered through the
Argonne forest and from day to day
have been taken by the advancing
New York soldiers. Among them
were two 1905 and several IT'S. The
forest has been thoroughly searched
for these guns by the American troops.
Many of the roads leading from the
Argonne forest to Mount Faucon and
to Malancourt have been found to be
barred by concrete pillars as pre-
caution against the operations of al
lied tanks. At safe distances behind
these pillars antitank guns positions
have been found. These in many
places were built of concrete. The
pillars have all the appearance of hav-
ing been built recently, in many places
the wood frames for holding the con-
crete in place not having been re-
moved. These concrete positions were
for the most part behind the main
line defensive positions through which
the Americans broke during the pres
ent drive.

GOVERNMENTAL
CHANGES MEET
GERMAN CRISIS
Coalition Ministry Under Ba-
den Prince Planned In Ger
many-Socialists Included.

LONDON, Thursday, Oct. 3-There
is little room for doubt that the solu-
ton of the German governmental cri-
sis will be found in the shape of a
cca alition government under the chan
cellorship of Prince Macmillan of
Baden. No official news of the sit
uation has as yet reached London,
but according to German newspapers
there is a possibility that among the
ministers there will be some social
lists.
Prince Miximilian is cousin of the
grand duke Of Baden and prssisieHt~of
the upper chamber of that grand
duchy. He is related to the emperor
by marriage and is popular at court.
Although credited with democratic
tendencies, it is understood that he
has been recommended by Frederick
Won Payer, who will remain as vice
chancellor in the new government.
Will Outline Program.
1t is stated that Prince Maximilian
will outline his program before the
reichstag on Saturday.
According to some German papers

clerical centrists in the reichstag will

propaganda. The Vorwaerts, the Soc
ialist organ, says that Philip Scheid-
mann, leader of the Majority Social
lists, will become secretary of state
without portfolio and that another
Socialist will have charge of the la
Dor ministry. The same paper states
that the Social Democrats, the Pro
gressives and the Centrists will each
be represented by one minister in the
Prussian ministry.
1t is understood that the new gov
ernment will be considered collective
body. All the secretaries will parti
cipate in it's decisions but the chan
cellor, vice chancellor and two sec
retaries without portfolio, Philip
Scheidemann and a Centrist deputy
will form the inner committee.

LOAN QUOTA IS

SHORT OF COAL
Big Effort to Raise Remain
der of County Amount to
Be Made Tomorrow.

II every Wayne county man and
woman who thus far has failed to buy
Liberty bonds or who has not bought
up to his or her limit, had listened to
the addresses delivered by wounded
American soldiers and three French
officers at the Pennsylvania station
last night. the deficit of 100000 that
still prevents the county's quota from
being realized, would be in hand with
out delay.
When one Of the French officers was
told by a member of the committee
that this county had in three and one
half days subscribed two million dol
lars. but that more than a week had
elapsed without the remainder of the
four hundred thousand being absorbed,
he expressed surprise.
I have seen your American boys
in action this French OFFICER said,
"and have been In this war from the
very start until little more than a
month ago. Perhaps l understand the
need OF the hour so well that fail
to see why any community in your
county would fail to buy bonds to
the limit. The war cannot be brought
to the successful and desired end un-
less there are funds in plenty. That
much everybody ought to know. Then
it simply remains for the good people
of your United States to finance your
armies as the other Allies are doing
theirs. OF course your country will
do it, and l am certain that your own
community will raise the very small
sum needed to meet the requirements
placed upon you"
Tomorrow ought to be big day in

paign. If appeals that have been
made direct to scores of citizens to
increase their subscriptions meets
with anything like the response ex-
pected, the deficit ought to be pretty

WASHINGTON, Oct 4-The cam
campaign for the fourth Liberty loan
must be speeded up if the goal of
s6.000,000,000 is to be reached by Oct
10, the close of the campaign. This
warning issued last night by Secretary
McAdoo in a statement admonishing
the nation not to permit any relaxa-
tion OF effort because Of the favorable
news from the battle fronts was en-
phasized at Campaign headquarters
today.
Subscriptions reported to the treas
ury early today amounted to 1926, ,506,-

1915, 100000 must be subscribed daily
On that basis officials today pointed
out. the daily subscriptions have been
only about half the necessary average
Reports received by the treasury
however, it was said, do not indicate
the total, number Of subscriptions re-
ceived as in many cities no attempt
has been made to tabulate the sales

subscriptions are counted which are
