QUOTATO LOAN
Many Towns and Cities Raise
Thsir Allotment Within
Ten Hours After Cam
paign Opens.
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.

X'Tt will be impossible to predict
before that time whether the cam
paign has started successfully," the
statement said. "The most en
couraging note of all in today's re
ports is that all communities realize

enormous task in the raising of
$6,000,000,000. The consensus of
opinion appears to be that over
qonfidence is the greatest danger to
be guarded against until the loan
,, actually is subscribed."

munities first reporting in a mes
sage, stating its quota of $2,000,000
was raised exactly at midnight Fri

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.

AMERICA'S PART

EULGAR DEFEAT

EULGAR ?EACE

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.

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

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."
