“Push Liberty Loan to Utmost,” Is Wilson’s Warning to Nation.

Washington, Oct. 10. —President Wilson today issued this statement on the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign: 1 “Recent events have enhanced, hot lessened, the importance of this loan, and I hope that my fellow countrymen will let'me say this to them very frankly': The best thing that could happen would be that the loan should not only be fully subscribed, but veery greatly oversubscribed. We are in the midst of the greatest exercise of the power of this country that has ever been witnessed or forecast and a single - day of relaxation in that effort would be of tragical damage alike to ourselves and to the rest of the world. Nothing has happened which makes it safe or possible to do anything but push our effort to the utmost. The time is critical and response must be complete. (Signed) “WOODROW WILSON."

GASLESS SUNDAY RULE IS STILL ON

NO LIFTING OF BAN FOR PRESENT, ACCORDING TO FUEL ADMINISTRATION. In response to repeated inquiries at the office of the state fuel administrator as to when gasoline will be available for Sunday use, the administration, through Horace H. Herr, director of conservation and publicity, has made public the following explanatory bulletin from Washington: “Gasolineless Sundays requested by the United States fuel administration of all. citizens east 1 of the Mississippi river will continue for the present. “In connection with a suggestion from Gov. Samuel 'McCall, of Massachusetts, that restrictions be removed from Sunday automobiling as a means of ameliorating the epidemic of Spanish influenza prevalent in the Eastern states, Fuel Administrator Harry A. Garfield made public an opinion from Brig. Gen. Charles Richard, acting surgeon general, U. S. A., that automobiling would not influence the epidemic one way or the other. “Statistics on the available supply of gasoline also were made public, showing the great saving already effected by the gasolineless Sundays and the necessity for its continuance.” The grand total of available gasoline in the United .States outside of California for the week ending Sept. 23, Mr. Garfield announced, was 3,392,000 barrels of motor gasoline and 281,000 barrels of aviation gasoline. This is a decrease from a stock of about 14,000,000 barrels on April Ist and 8,000,000 barrels on August Ist. A notable saving by the public was announced as a result of the almost universal compliance with the request of the administration for gasolineless Sundays. Approximately 500,000 barrels, or ten ship loads, have been shipped Which could not otherwise have been sent abroad, and in addition gasoline stocks available for Shipments overseas have gained between 150/000 and 200,000 barrels, it is announced.

FRIDAY WAR SUMMARY.

The German advance on Berlin continues rapidly with the allies sweeping across a wide section of northern France in close pursuit. The northeastward march of the British and Americans through the gap they have torn in. the Hindenburg line cont nues. The Germans are reported headed toward a temporary defense line somewhere in the district which used to be behind their armies. Lt Cateau, the German rail center fourteen miles southeast of Cambrai, has been captured by Haig’s men, who are still pushing ahead. Dispatches front! the front say that large sections of the line on both sides of the gap are showing signs of retreat. Inspection of the map reveals the necessity for this. With Le Cateau gone, it is a foregone conclusion that the Germans must get out of the Laon salient at once, while the rapid advance of the allies would also seem to make the abandonment of the Lille salient imperative. The German withdrawal has reached the stage where they are no longer herding the civilians off with them. Field Marshal Haig’s latest report shows the liberation of several hundred of hapless French citizens. In one town alone, the village of Caudry, 2,500 civilians were found. To the south and east, the FrancoAmerican armies are pushing steadily ahead. Latest reports are that the Germans have been forced completely out of the Argonne forest. This, with the breaching of the Kreimhilde line, opens the way for a quick dash north toward the Belgian line with enormous possibilities of cutting the lateral railway upon which Germany depends for communication between the east and west sections of her line.

LATE BULLETINS.

London, Oct. 11.—Germany’s answer to President Wilson will offer to evacuate Belgium and northern France, but only after a peace conference is opened in a neutral country and provided the allies will not demand the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France or the evacuation of Russia, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Express, which claims to get its information from an authoritative source. London, Oct. 11. —The Central Socialist parties ih Germany approve the evacuation of France and Belgium, but this is meeting with opposition from the Kaiser, Hindenburg and Ludendorff, said an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen today. ' ’ Should the German Reichstag decide on evacuation, both Hindenburg and Ludendorff will resign, it was reported from Berlin. The German people are already said to be clamoring for younger generals. Copenhagen, Oct. 10 (via London, Oct. 11). —After conferring with the vice chancellor and the military representatives, Prince Max of Baden, ' (imperial German chancellor, today prepared the German answer to President Wilson’s message, accordnig to a Berlin dispatch late tonight. The answer probably Will be considered by the Reichstag Saturday, the dispatch adds.
