e Cautioned Not to Let
Good, War News Cause Re
laxation of Effort in
Loan Campaign.
he,
9 Washington, Oct. 2. President
116.
Wilson and other officials feel that
the American penole must exercise
caution lest the good news from
the battle fronts cause a relaxation
of effort on behalf of the fourth Lib
erty loan. Thus far no such tendency
has been noticeable and the cam
paign has been going with an en
thusiasm comparable to that with
which the battle reports have been
received.
1 It is pointed out -that now that
victory is definitely being brought
to the side of the allied armies funds
and more funds are needed to en
able the fighting men to press home
their' hard-won advantage and hurl
the German hordes beyond the
Rhine. Secretary McAdoo is un
derstood to have determined to
have speakers emphasize this point
continuously until the huge $6,000,-
000,000 total is raised.
Official reports today from all
federal reserve districts except Kan-
, sas City, which has not started tak
ing subscriptions, showed $411,142,
050 pledges actually received and
accompanied by payment of the 10
per cent initial installment. This
tovers receipts up to last night, but
does not include millions of dollars
in subscriptions on which the ini
tial payment has not been made or
has been made but not yet reported
officially by banks. The' total to
morrow night is . expected to be
several hundred million dollars
greater. In order to raise $6,000,
000.000 it would be necessary to get
a daily average of $315,000,000 and
at this required rate approximate
ly $1,000,000,000 should have been
subscribed by this time.
Loan Being Spent Already.
In connection with the efforts to
prevent a slackening of campaign
morale it was cited te'day by treas
ury officials that practically all of
' i'the $6,000,000,000 to be raised will
!have been spent by the time it is
received at the treasury. The gov
ernment already is paying out
money at the daily rate of $50,000,
f'00, which is substantially the money
Jo be raised in the fourth loan.
Nearly $4,500,000,000 has been re
ceived in the last two months from
,sale of certificates of indebtedness,
but these securities are only tempo-
' jary expedients, to be paid out of
"" receipts from Liberty bonds. Con
sequently the government is already
spending its fourth Liberty loan
money.
' In September, it was shown by a
treasury report today, the govern
ment paid . out $1,557,264,000, or
. $2.48,000,001) less than the $1,805,000.
000 record of August. Of this
amount $1,274,505,000 was in ordi
nary war expenses and $282,150,000
in" foreign loans. Only $151,790,000
came into the treasury from taxes,
customs and other ordinary revenue
.SdurcSs. s Sales of war savings and
thrift stamps fell to $98,614,000 from
the $129,044,000 of August, and the
$211,417,000 of July.
' War Cost To Date $18,896,945,000.
'.. - The total cost of 18 months of
war to October 1, was shown to be
$18,896,945,000, or three times as
much as will be raised by the fourth
loan. For this nation's war activi
ties $12,263,582,000 was spent, and
for loans to allies $6,527,914,000.
Taxes have brought in $5,183,268,-
000 and Liberty loans or certificates
f indebtedness about $13,000,000,
000. The harvest from war savings
and thrift stamps has been $745,
169,000. Iowastill stood alone tonight as
the only state to report officially
that it was over its quota.

Turkey Makes Overtures;
Allies Capture Damascus
London, Oct. 2. Turkey has made further indirect approaches
to the allies through financial channels which are being con
sidered by the British war cabinet, the Standard says it learns on good
authority. Important developments, the newspaper adds, are expected.
Damascus, the capital of Syria, was occupied by General Allenby's
forces on Tuesday morning, according to an official statement issued
today by the British war office.
Damascus is the Turkish base in Syria and Palestine and its fall
probably means the end of all Turkish resistance to General Allenby in
Palestine and Syria. The ancient city is the junction point of railroads
leading to the port of Beirut and Aleppo, 180 miles northeast.
Aleppo is the most important Turkish base in this region of Asia
Minor, as it is a junction point of the railroads from Palestine and Mes
opotamia. Damascus has a population of about 150,000. It is one of the holy
cities of the Mohammedans, and the Arabs regard it as one of the four
paradises on earth.
The capture of Damascus marks an advance of 130 miles by Gen
eral Allenby's forces since September 20. In that time the British
have captured more than 50,000 prisoners, destroying at least three
Turkish arimes and driven the enemy from Palestine and a great
part of Syria.
More than 7,000 Turks were taken prisoner when General Allenby's
forces occupied Damascus, the war office announced tonight.
Amsterdam, Oct. 2. The Turkish cabinet, according to a telegram
published by the Cologne Gazette, has decided "in all circumstances to
adhere to the alliance with the central powers."

of Spanish influenza at army camps,
information coming to the public
health service was that the disease
was spreading rapidly among the
civilian population over the coun
ty The malady has appeared now in
43 states and the District of Colum
bia and besides New England it is
epidemic in Tidewater, Virginia,
South Carolina and other places. It
was reported particularly prevalent
along the Atlantic seaboard and the
ptilf coast. Vigorous steps to com
bat the disease have been taken by
the public health service.
The number of new cases in army
camps during the 24 hours ending
at noon today was slightly more
than 13,000, a decrease of 1,000 from
the total reported the day before.
Pneumonia in the camps also showed
a decrease with 876 new cases and
271 deaths.
100,000 Cases in Army Camps.

deaths at Dix and 29 at Devens.
Influenza has spread to shipyards
in New England and north Atlantic
states to such an extent that Director-General

gency fleet corporation today de
scribed the situation as "serious."
In the yards at Fore River, Mass.,
he said there were about 3,000 cases,
or 10 per cent of the workers. At
the Hog Island yards approximate
ly 8 per cent of the 30,000 men
have been unable to report for work
this week on account of the disease.
Like conditions exist in other yards
in the two districts, Mr. Schwab
said, but the disease has not spread
to any great extent to shipyards in
the south Atlantic, gulf, great lakes
and Pacific coast districts.

victories in Macedonia in which

effect on the population, dissipating

bayonet fighting and physical de

MILITARY GIVEN
COMMAND OVER
RAWJATERiAL
Plan of Centralized Control of
All Economic Forces Ap
proved by the Allied
Governments.
Washington, Oct. 2. The long
planned centralized control of all
the economic forces of the nations
fighting Germany is a fact at last.
It applies the principles of the uni
fied military command to raw ma-
terials, manufactured products, ship
ping, unance, iooa ana tne export
and import relations of the United
States and the co-belligerents.
The great plan was worked out
by President Wilson's so-called war
cabinet and the allied missions. It
has been approved by the president
and the premiers of the entente na
tions. No announcement of its consum
mation has been made here, in fact
it has rather been withheld from
publicity. Some of its details and
the fact it actually is in operation
have become known through devel
opments in Paris and London.
Co-ordination of effort by the
associated governments in addition
to military and naval activity,
amounting to centralized control, is
built around the five irjter-allied
councils war, shipping, munitions,
food and finance. Under these spe
cial bodies completion of a com
mon economic and industrial pro
gram is now being undertaken,
principally in London and Faris and
limited to the following cases:
Where two or more governments
are interested in supplies which
must be transported overseas to
supplement deficiencies in local pro
duction; or where several sources of
supplies should be agreed upon, to
gether with the allotment and
method of their distribution or util
ization; or where there might with
out agreement be competition be
tween governments in procuring
supplies.
The entire plan contemplates the
cutting of red tape, elimination of
controversies between the allies in
their fight against the central pow
ers and welding the resources of the
allies into a common pool and to
provide the machinery to handle all
problems that are intricate, volu
minous, or in need of continuous
attention.
Allies Recognize Arabs
As Belligerent Auxiliaries
London, Oct. 2. The allied gov
ernments have decided formally to
