There were 25,000,000 Individual sub

Liberty Loan, according to Indications
noted at Washington as tho stupend
ous tank of recording nnd tabulating
subscriptions goes forward. Tho aver

thl. estimate.
A large proportion of the subscribers
fl.el their subscriptions during the last
fw days of the campaign, which ended
st midnight Saturday, so that It will be
i task of many days to count the total
mibscrlbed and the number of pledges
for the entire country.
Desplto the lack of definite Informa
tion, officials at AVashlngton were con
fident yesterday that the J6, 000. 000,000
popular war credit had been oversub

Banks have until Thursday to tabu

the Federal Ilesetva .Bank. loA that
definite figures are not expected
until late In the week. In fact. Treas
ury omclals last night declared It might
be two weeks before the , results for

larly If the number of subscribers runs

At the New York Liberty lioan head
quarters It was aald yesterday final fig

the results will be forwarded to Wash
ngton and the public will have to wait
lor official announcement from there.
fter the heat of battle had cooled
off yesterday the thought uppermost In j
the mtnds of all who had taken a prom-
. . t ...... , fact 1
lneni part in me cmnimisu -
that the nation had been able In three
weeks to raise the sum of six billions
of dollars. The bankers and members
of the Liberty Loan Committee who
have well defined Idea as to what It
means to raise gigantic1 sums of money
believe that the raising of the Fourth
Liberty Loan in three weeks should go
down in history aa the greatest achieve
ment ever accomplished by a natron
ven in war times.
Small Bond Bhorr Work.
Considering the magnitude of the Job,
financial Interests, after careful thought,
bHee it would not bo fair to consider
the loan a failure even If the desired
objective had not been reached, owing
to the fact that the campaign had to be
waged in tho face ot an epidemic of In
fluenza and peace notes.
The extent to which the canvassers
?or the loan went Into every nook and
corner where It was thought a dollar
looking for employment might be found
may bo gleaned from the fact that ap
proximately 8,000.000 small bonds,
mostly in J50 and J100 denominations,
will be distributed to Investors. Many
of these will receive two and three small
bonds each, having subscribed through
two or three, different channels, but the

To prevent the spread of lnflucnxa,
Dr. Royal H. Copeland, Health Com
missioner of New York city, has de
cided upon drastic measures to compel
landlords to heat apartment houses. The
Commissioner will send out his officers
to-day with Instructions to arrest land
lords who have refused to supply their
tenants with heat. Of course this step
can be taken, as DV. Copeland ex
plained
the Ian
yesterday, only In cases where
dlords have agreed, wider terms
or their leasing contracts, to furnish
heat.
"We have no power to make a man
put a flro In his house," said Dr. Cope
land, "but If the landlord haa entered
Into a contract to furnish heat we can
and we will take action. If a lease
provides for heat and the landlord re
fuses to furnish such heat, he Is guilty
of a misdemeanor under Section 223 of
the Sanitary Code, which reads:
" 'It shall be the duty of very person
who shall have contracted or undertaken
to heat or to furnish heat for any build
ing or portion thereof, occupied as a
riAma fa nln M v-aal rlnnra n f nnn fir

portion thereof, so that a minimum tern-
perature of 68 degr, Fahrenheit may
be malntaiped therein at al such times.
Provided, however, the provisions ot this
section shall not apply to buildings or
portions thereof used for trades, busi
nesses or occupations where high or low
temperatures are essential and unavoid
able.' Will Fat Ordinance to Teat.
VWe Intend to put thlB ordinance to
a teat. It probably will be rainy to
morrow, and It is important that neither
well nor sick persons shall be forced
to live In chilly or damp houses. Warmth
Is especially essential for those who am
convalescing from an attack of Jnfluenxa
and are Just out of bed.
"I have received over 100 letters and
telegrams to-day from tenants complain
ing of the situation. Some landlords In
making new leases havo cut out the
words 'and heat,' and the tenants who
sign these leases have no redress. But
there havo been a number of cases called
to my attention where old tenants, hav
ing leases calling for hoat, have come, to
the anslotanco of their less fortunate fel
low tenants and make the complaints In
their names. The landlords will have
to furnish heat In, this emergency, and
they might as well know It now as at
any other time.'1
One caso called to the attention of the
Health Commissioner concerned the pre
dicament of a chief commissary steward
from one of the warships who came
ashore two days ago after nerving for a
year and a half In foreign waters to
find his wife and two children suffering
from Influenza, One child was in a dy
ing condition. He applied to his land
lord for heat, but his request was re
fused. In compliance with orders he had
to board his nhlp yesterday without be
ing able to do anything further to al
leviate tho suffering of his family. Dr.
Copeland will make a thorough Investi
gation of this case.

Ill the face of Dr. Copeland'a cam

the mist and rain they were compelled to
descend to within 3 JO feet ot the ground
In the region of Dun, the Germans firing
at them with anti-aircraft and smaller
guns. At one place they flew so low
that German Infantry flred many volleys
from their rifles, bullets piercing the

Because of tae uncertainty or enemy

During the trip Bernhelmer and
Bagby were compelled to descend below

IjON'don, Oct, 20. Despite exceeding
ly bad weather, which has turned parts
of Flanders Into quagmire, the Bel
gians, British nnd. French pressed for
ward to-day and have every reason to
bo satisfied with the progress made..
The German troops cut off nojth of
Kecloo, reported yesterday to be about
6,000, were In fact 15,000; they chose
the lesser of two evils and crossed the
frontier Into Holland, where they were
disarmed nnd Interned.
The condition of the ground has
slowed tlie advance of the Infantry,
which has not reached Ghent yet, nl
though the cavalry was there yester
day. Tho Allies have aucceeded In
bringing up some guns within easy
range, however, and completely com
mand tho city. Not much opposition Is
expected there, but should any develop
lt has been provided for.
Thlelt has been fully occupied by the
French, who by n brilliant drive ad
vanced to within two miles of Tournot.
British Across the Sellr.
.Further south the British made per
haps the most Important ndvancc of
the day. capturing Solesmes, crossing
the Sello River nnd driving eastward
to the high ground, where they domi
nate the great trunk railway upon
which the Germans depend for most of
their supplies. In this operation they
took more than 2,000 prisoners.
It Is stated that since the beginning of
the Flanders drlvo the Allies have, ad
vanced thirty miles over a front of
thlrty-slx. freeing the entire cofcat of
Belgium and clcarln-r all of western
Flanders.
The rroRslnir of the Selle by the Brit
ish was made between Lo Cateau and
Denatn, at a point only five miles south
west of Valenciennes : Denaln was cap
tured. The battlo took ,-ilace in an ex
ceptionally heavy rain and the Germans
offered the heaviest resistance of which
they were capable In the. effort to keep
open. If only for a few days, the rail
road from Valenciennes to Ulrson, Me
zleres and Met.
Heaviest Concentration of Wmr.
On this front of about forty miles the
Germans have massed forty divisions,
about 600,000 men, which is Bald to be
tho heaviest concentration of fighting
troops ever known In this or any other
war. It means moro than 12,000 men on
caci 5,000 feet of front over tho whole
distance of forty miles. Despite this, how
ever, the British went through the line
and attained their objectives. What
will happen to the great mass of Ger
man troops still In this sector when the
British reach the railway here, or Im
mediately to the south, where the British
Third Army is driving forward also,
can only be surmised now. but the pros
pect is very bad for the Germans.
On the Serre-Alsne front also the Ger
mans nre making desperato reRlstancc to
the advance nf the French, who are
headed for the same railroad to th east
of the British objective. Two strong
counter attacks were rei.ulsed to-day by
the French near Verncull and north of
St. Germaincourt. ICnst of Vcrneull the
French advanced, crossing Chautroud
Brook and winning a footing on the
heights to the enst.
Still further east, in the Cliampagae-
Argonne region, the French advanced In
the region of Vpuzlcrcs to Perron and
reached the district of Landeves and

That Germuny Is seeking to take ad

Indicated by a despatch from Amster

the reply was necessitated, owing to
the pressure exerted by opinion ex

It la believed here that while Prince

to accomplish tho withdrawal of tho
German armies across the Rhine be

statesmen are convinced that hostili

The importance of n united allied

Wilson will put a sharp end to tho
enemy's design Instantly. Germany Is
counting craftily upon dissensions at
tho council table amongst those whose
unity has so far been too much for
her In the field, and especially between
the United States and Great Britain.
"Some divergencies between the na
tions now acting together aro natural
and Inevitable. In similar circumstances
! they always have taken place. There
fore, the Allies, when they reach the
peace conference, must be able to differ
without benefiting the enemy, otherwise
their differences might Jeopardize the
cause ot tho Allies and America and put
It In deadly peril long after they be
lieved It won.
"It must be rut wholly out of Ger

any circumstances. It must not be left
by any chance to her baffled but obsti
nate Junker faction to toy with thoughts
of resuming war or to spin diplomatic
Intrigues for that purpose. '
.k Support for Premier.
In another paragraph the Observer
appeals to the British people to support
the Prime Minister as other countries
support their leader. "Lloyd-George
mint stand on an effective equality, no
mere, no less, with President Wilson and
Premier Clemenceau," the paper says.
"It Is necessary to say this at this
Juncture because some conditions we

LONDON, Oct. 20. Tho Hague" correspondent of the Daily Mail

Ludendorff, Chief Quartermaster-General and real head of the Ger

"Field Marshal von Hindenburg'3 plan is to prevent at all costs
tho breaking of the front and to wait and pray for a rainy November."
The German high command is making preparations for a des
perate resistance along the Meuse; buildings in the possible line of fire
are being destroyed and materials for defensive works concentrated.
Ofhcr information from Berlin is that the German armies have
no alternative but must surrender as their ammunition is being ex

It Is indicated that the President
does not feel that his last communica

The President Is exported to close
the door to them all this time by
simply referring the German Govern

, Diplomats point out that the whole
trend of tho so-called negotiations be
tween Berlin and Washington lnovita
bly has been toward demanding that
the leaders of tho German war ma
chine make their terms with Marshal
Foch before any serious thought can
be entertained of peace discussions, No
one here or In Kntento capitals in
wasting n moment's thought, lt Is snld,
on what the terms of Marshal Foch
will be. They will call for tho sur
render of the German war machine or
at least Its reduction to such a statu
ot relative Impotency that terms of
Justice can bo Imposed nnd enforced
whether Germany likes them or not.
Thero Is reason to believe that th
