Washington, Sept. 28. Messages from all parts of the United States ' reached the Treasury department to"day almost simultaneously with the opening of the campaign for the . fourth Lihcrty loan, telling of vil " lages, towns and cities 'which had within a few hours subscribed their quotas of the $6,000,000,000 total. The first report came from Alaska. A message reached the treasury soon after Secretary Mc Adoo arrived at his desk saying that the Alaska Packers' association of San Francisco, with a subscription of $1,370,000, had completed the en tire loan allotment for every town, village and fishing camp in the terri- tory. A telegram- received from Juneau tonight, however, said "all communities are ambitious to more than double their allotments." ; War News Hepls Drive. Parades and other patriotic dem onstrations marked the opening of tfee campaign throughout the ria- tion. while news from the war fronts io Europe, particularly from the fectors where American troops were driving forward, added to the im petus of the first day's campaign. .While reports from scores . of communities reported oversubscrip tion of allotments on the initial day of the great campaign, it was point ed out that the speedy and effective organization in ' smaller places which served to complete the al loted task so quickly had not brought in sums . which will bulk ''largely when compared with the $6,000,000,000 total. The treasury in a statement tonight said the selling stride would scarcely be struck over the entire country before next week. Iowa Town In Van. X'Tt will be impossible to predict before that time whether the cam paign has started successfully," the statement said.

American Leaflets Found , I On Many Gorman Prisoners v With the American Forces on the Verdun Front, Friday, Sept, 27. Among the prisoners taken today by the Americans were IS soldiers of a Hungarian division, whose po sition was astride the Meuse river. "To the east of the, Meuse, more than 100 men from the Hungarian division were captured by the French, who were co-operating with the Americans in the drive. Upon many German prisoners captured by the Americans was found American propaganda, which hpd been dropped behind the Ger- ' .man lines a week ago by American "aviators. These leaflets told of the actual treatment afforded to Ger man prisoners taken by Americans as an offset to the report that Ger man officers were telling German privates that the Americans killed prisoners after capturing them. Most of the American leaflets were found in the pocket books of , the prisoners together with letters, keepsakes, paper money and photo graphs. t; Weather Predictions. ' Washington, Sept. 28.

Troops to Bolster Up Bul garia, is Explanation by March. EULGAR ?EACE MOVE CREATES PAH BERLIN Internal Questions Relegated to Background in Effort to Unite Factions fort De fense of Empire. London, Sept. 28. A panic pre vailed on the Berlin stock exchange today as the result of events in Bul garia, according to a dispatch from The Hague to the Central News agency. Copenhagen, Sept. 28. Bulgarian developments have relegated all German internal political questions t6 the background, the Berlin cor respondent of the Berlingske Tid ende says. The main committee of the Reichstag will be assembled as soon as possible. Some factions already have sum moned their members to Berlin and there is a general feeling that events now more, than ever require a har monious inner front. The present outlook is for the formation, at least temporarily, of a governmental pro gram with the co-operation of tin national liberals and eventually a complete rebrganization of the cab inet. General Von Stein, the war minister, has interrupted his'vaca tion and returned to Berlin. All interest is concentrated on Bulgaria. In Reichstag circled, ac cording to the, correspondent, the situation is considered most grave, but sentiment is not pessimistic. Von Hintze .Explains Situation. London, Sept 28. The publica tion in Berlin semi-official news papers of Bulgaria's armistice re quests was the cause of the greatest panic in the German capital, ac cording to advices received at Co penhagen and forwarded by the Ex change Telegraph correspondent there. Admiral von Hintze, the German foreign secretary, according to the advices, in a speech before the main committee of the Reichstag, said that the difficulties of the Bulgar ians between the Vardar and the Cerna evidently had not been fav orably explained by Premier Mal inoff and the Bulgarian govern ment, because on Thursday Bul garia proposed to the entente com mander to open peace negoiiations. CovntirIove Hint:d Admiral von Hintze said it was not yet clear whether the Bulgarian government had acted in accord ance with the army's desiccs or on its owh initiative. Ther were indi cations, he' said, that Premier Mal inoft's move would be disavowed by later developments. French Munition Workers Chocr at News of Armistics Paris, Sept. 28. News that Bul garia had as!:cd for an armistice and eventual peace was received en thusiastically by 4,000 munition workers at a luncheon given today in honor of Samuel Gompers, pres ident'of the American Federation of Labor. The announcement was made by Adre Tartlieu of the French hif;h commission to the United States. His statement was received by the workers with wild cheers. Mr. Gompers declared thaf never again in the history of the world would there arise such an oc casion as this war presents to bJfng liberty for labor. Washington, Sept. 28. The im pending collapse ot Bulgaria, Gen eral March said today, is a direct result of the concentration of the American forces on the western front. - Hitherto, General March explain ed, whenever a section'of the cen tral empires was menaced, Germany was able to withdraw divisions from the west front to bolster up the threatened point.' "That day is now past," he added, "as a result of the concentration of the entire Ameri can army on the western front. This has forced the German general staff to keep intact their whole strength in France." The elimination of Bulgaria, the chief of staff pointed out, should a separate peace be granted, would foreshadow the isolation of Turkey and the possible re-entry of Ruman ia into the war. The effect of these events on 'the grand strategy of the war was obvious, he said. In the new Franco-American drive the American forces west of Verdun have passed beyond the Hindenburg' line and are facing the new Kriemhield line. General March was -unable to identify positively American units which participated in this action He said the attack was characterized by the same sharpness and rapidify which has heretofore marked the American operations. On the first day Pershing's men advanced from five to six miles. General March announced that practxally all of the 84th division (Kentucky, Indiana andSouthern Il linois) had now arrived 'abroad. Official dispatches to dat; show capture by the Americans in this rector of 8,000 prisoners, while the French to the west of them have Uken more than 7,000. War Tables Turned All in Allies' Favor, is Statement of Asquith Manchester, England, .Sept. 28. Speaking at a conference of the Na tional Liberal federation Herbert H. Asquith, former British prime min ister, said the development of the situation during the last two months hd been highly favorable to the al lied cause. The German chancellor, said Mr. Asqyith, admitted only a few Jays ago to the Reichstag that the great German offensive in France and Flanders had completely failed. The allied progress in Palestine and Macedonia, the former premier con tinued had been marked and signifi cant. There had been no campaign of the war more skilfully conceived and brilliantly carried out than that by which General Allenby had cap tured the better part of two Otto man armies and cleared out the Turk fromjihe Holy Land. Mr. Asquith declared he never had doubted the continued pressure of the allied forces, naval, military and economic, would prove in the long runNirresistible. The only peace the allies qpuld ac cept, Mr. Asquith concluded, was one that guaranteed to all nations, small or great, security against sinis ter predatory ambitions and full right of self determination. The speaker thought a league ot nations was a matter for much clear co-operative thinking and that, the time had come for the best heads among the allies to attack the practical sides of the problem. x Bible Students on Trial for Violation of Espionage Act Los 'Angeles, Sept. 28. Twenty she 'members of the International Bible Student's association were placed on trial before a jury in fed eral court here today, charged with first violations of the espionage act. The specific act alleged by the govern ment was the circulation of a circular resembling a newspaper said to have contained attacks on the govern ment and extracts from "The Fin ished Mystery," which book had Uheretofore been held seditious. U. S. and Germany to Pay Officers Held Prisoners BULGARIA OUT OF WAR, AVERS MINISTER TO U.S. Willing to Let United States Settle Balkan Issue Ac cording to Principles" , of Justice. Washington, Sept. 28. Bulgarian is out of the war, is the opinion of Stephan PanaterofT, Bulgarian min ister here, who believes that his country definitely is determined to abandon its alliance with Germany and Austria, and, if the entent al lies refuse to listen to peace over tures, will, appeal to the United States to use its good offices. Mr. Panateroff said his country would be willing to let settlement of the issues rest in the hands of such a country as the United States "ac- cordipg to justice as announced by President Wilson." The minister did not pretend to have any advices on instructions from his government, for he is com pletely out of touch with Sofia, but he said his opinion was based con fidently upon knowledge of the views of statesmen and people of Bulgaria. "The Bulgarian claims, said Mr. Panaretoff. "are reconcilable with the principles which President Wil son has repeatedly expressed. This is proven by the fact that Bulgarian press has never taken exception to those principles and, if you will re member, it was only the other day that a telegram said that in its reply to the Austrian peace note the Bul garian government said that the Tlalkan settlement could be reached only on the principles enunciated by President Wilson." 5 Austria Withdrawing Troops From Albania London, Sept. 28.
