Xhat extreme nervousness over ap

L, front in Flanders is indicated by
the infantry attacks the forces of
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria
daily are throwing against Field
Marshal Haig's army on the \pres
"These attacks are being centered
uponthe apex of Haig's salient in
the line w.hich is pointing dangerous
ly toward the Ostend-Lille ranvay,
the ultimate gaining of which by the
English, Scotch, and Australian con
tingents would work sad havoc to the
replenishing with supplies of the Ger
man line from the south from the
naval bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge,
In storming waves of great strength
the Germans have made valiant effot«
to wrest from the British positions
captured from them in the recent of
fensive; but everywhere, except at
two pointa, they met with deci-1
live repulse under the hurricane of
fire which swept against them from
guns of all calliber, strewing the
gnrand with their dead or wounded,
Numerous prisoners also have been
taken by the British, and to a man
they have evinced gratification that
they are.safe from the inferno of
bunting shells which the British,
without cessation, are pouring upon
the German holdings.
The big guns of the Germans have
not been idle during the fighting, but
their strength is in no wise compara
ble to that of the great array of can
aen that Haig has set up for the pur
1 of pounding the German's en
tnndunents for warding off attacks
md for screening his infantrymen as
thsy surge forward on new exploits.
As yet there has been no indication
thst the British commander-in-chief
bu the situation worked out to a
point where he is prepared to turn
hose his infantry for another smash
■cross No Man's Land.
Meanwhile the French and Germans
are engaged in violent artillery duels

General Petain's armies also again
have been forced to withstand, and

On the northern front in Russia, in

In a statement issued regarding the
organization in t.he Sixth Federal
Reserve District, Chairman W. C.
Wardlaw of the Liberty Loan Exec
utive Committee, makes an appeal for
the full support of the press, without
which, he states, success will be im
possible.
The allotment to the Sixth Federal
Reserve District, he points out, is
between eighty million and one hun
dred and thirty million dollars of
bonds, and he expresses the opinion
that the district will do its full share.
Continuing, Chairman Wardlaw says
in his statement:
"The Liberty Loan Executive Com
mittee now has organized and active
ly at work approximately fifty zone
Committees and four hundred county
Committees, the Chairman of which
are men of prominence and power in
the respective Committees, before the
end of this week we will have possi
bly two thousand sub-committees, all
alive and working through these com
mittees and the invaluable support of
the press, every man and woman and
child in the District will be given the
opportunity and privilege of perform
ing a patriotic duty. No donation Is
asked for, but a subscription whereby
one hundred cents on the dollar of
the safest investment in the world to
day, is given for each dollar sub
scribed and such bond yields four

Third Contingent Of
National Army Is
Moving Today
Even This Not Enoogh For
Full Strenght After The
is Filled
Washington, Oct. 2.—The third
contingent of the national army will
begin moving tomorrow to the six
teen cantonments, where approxi
mately one-half of the 687,000 select
ed men called out by the President
already have been mobilized. Quotas
now ready to leave home vary great
ly, arranging from seventeen to 40
per cent of the full state quotas, with
a general average of between twenty
and twenty-five per cent.
Modification of previous quota
plans was necessary because of the
conditions at the cantonments and
the availibility of equipment. Some
cantonments are much farther ad
vanced than others, and can accomo
date a larger percentage of men.
Definite figures are still lacking as
to the number of selected men to be
transferred to the National Guard,
Aviation Service, Medical Corps or
other branches of the army that will
have to be filled up to war strength.
It is certain, however, that the men
remaining at the camps will not be
sufficient to form the sixteen nation
al army divisions at full strength.
Secretary Baker indicàted today
that no decision had been reached as
to when a second call will be made.
There are many deficiencies to be fill
ed up in the first draft, physical ex
aminations of the selected men by
army doctors at the camps having
resulted in many rejections. There
appears to be some evidence of un
due leniency by the civilian doctors
who examined the men in certain sec
tions, probably due largely to the de
| sire of local boards to make a good
showing in prompt filling of their
quotas.

The
Huge War Tax Bill Is
Finally Passed By
Both Houses
More Than Two and a Half
billion Dollars Of New
Taxes Levied
Washington, Ocf. 2.—Congress fin
ished its work on the great war tax
, bill late today, when the Senate, fol
lowing the example set yesterday by
the House, adopted the conference re
port without a roll call. More than
two and a half billion dollars of new
taxes are levied by the measure,
which has been in the making since
last April.
As soon as the bill is engrossed and
signed tomorrow by Vice-President
Marshall and Speaker Clark it will be
sent to President Wilson, who is ex
pected to sign it immediately.
Senate discussion today was brief,
participated in by but few members,
all of whom realized the futility of
opposition. Most of the criticism was
upon the second-class postage in
creases,
^< be S p eed y action on the confer
ence report raised members' hopes
for adjournment of the war session
by Saturday, or not later than next
week. The administration soldiers
and sailors' insurance bill, which has
passed the House will be brought up
tomorrow in the Senate. Its disposal
in a few days is anticipated. T,he on
ly other measure the leaders expect
to put through before adjournment is
the eight-billion-dollar deficiency ap
propriation bill, whose conferees ex
pect to agree tomorrow and secure
adoption of their report with per
functory debate.
Boy Scouts of Atlanta sold $51,750
worth, while through their organiza
tion came aa additional $42,850,
making a total of $94,600. Boy
Scouts in other cities and towns in
the District sold a total of $271,650.
They are now ready to go to work
with the beginning of the campaign
instead of waiting for the close of
it.
The Executive Committees for the
Sixth District desires to impress up
on everyone the opportunity to buy
these bonds on easy payments, or, as
stated by the Treasury Department,
