Gasoline
It is needed to
win the war!
Pennsylvania motorists can and should save
5,000,000 gallons of gasoline for their Government
during OCTOBER and NOVEMBER.
How 5,000,000 Gallons of Gasoline Can Be Saved
Every motorist can save at least five gallons
of gasoline a month by the conservative use of
his car, equal to a total of 3,500,000 gallons
30,000 commercial truck operators by shutting
down their engines during idle periods, would
save 2,250,000 gallons
3,000 motor car owners can decide to give up
touring and save • . . 500,000 gallons
What 5,000,000 Gallons of Gasoline
Will Do to Win the War
(1) Operate 2,000 airplanes for one month, or
(2) Operate 140 submarine chasers for one month, or
(3) Keep in service 250,000 motor trucks and ambulances in France
for one month, or practically all the motor trucks and am
bulances in operation by the Allies at the front today, or
(4) Operate about 19,000 tanks for a month.
This saving represents $1,400,000 that
can be invested in LIBERTY BONDS.

Admitting Reverses Emperor
Begs Army and Navy
to Drive Ahead
Berlin, Oct. 7.—Emperor William
yesterday issued a proclamation to
the German army and navy in which
after announcing that the Macedon
ian front had crumbled, he declared
that he had decided, in accord with
his allies, to again offer pence to the
enemy. The text of the
proclamation reads:
"For months past the enemy with
enormous exertions and almost with
out pause in the fighting has stormed
against your lines. In weeks of the
struggle, often without repose, you
have had to persevere and resist a
numerically far superior enemy.
Therein lies the greatness of the task
which has ocen set for you and which
you are fulfilling. Troops of all the
German states are doing their part
and .are heroically defending the
fatherland on foreign soil. Hard is
the task.
"My navy is holding its own
against the united enemy naval
forces and is unwaveringly support
ing the army in its difficult struggle.
"The eyes of those at home rest
with pride and admiration on the'
deeds o ftlie army and the navy. I
express to you the thanks of myself
and the fatherland.
"The collapse of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of
the hardest, struggle, Tn accord with 1
our allies I have resolved only more
to offer peace to the enemy, but I will
only extend my hand for an honor
able peace. ..We owe that to the
heroes "who have laid down their l
live* for tho fatherland, and we
make that our duty to our children.
"Whether arms will be lowered is
a question. Until then we must not
slacken. We must, as hitherto, oxcrt
all our strength unwearily to hold
our ground against the onslaught of
our enemies.
"The hour is grave, btit trusting
in your strength and in God's gra
cious help, we feel ourselves to be I
strong enough to defend our beloved
fatherland."

KAISER PLAYS
TO SAVE SKIN
Paris, Oct. 7.—The request for
an armistice and the opening of
peace parleys by the Central
Powers is looked upon by the
French press generally as an at
tempt to evade certain disaster.
It is declared Germany hopes to
conclude a peace which will per
mit her to exploit the peace
treaties of Brest-Litovsk and
Bucharest, and also save the
, Hohenzollern dynasty.
An armistice under the present
conditions, the papers think, is
impossible. The conditions ex
pressed by the new German chan
cellor do not correspond with the
conditions for peace laid down by
President Wilson.

AMERICANS TAKE
STRONG GARRISON
OF MACHINE GUNS
Envelop Nest on Blanc Mont
Slopes Which Long Held
Up Allied Advance
American Headquarters in France,
Oct. 7.—Americans fighting under
the command of General Gouraud
are credited with an amazing per
formance in the fighting of Friday in
the Champagne sector. A detach
ment, assisted by French volunteers,
under an American captain, attacked
a very strong machine gun nest on
the slopes of Blanc Mont, which had
long held up the Allied advance. The
nest was enveloped and captured
and the entire garrison of four offi
cers and 269 men made prisoners.
Seventy-flve machine guns, many
trench mortars 'and several tractors
were taken. The Americans did not
suffer a single casualty.
The enemy is throwing some of his
best divisions into the lino opposite
the American front. One of these is
made up of Badenese troops. This
division is a favorite of the German
emperor, and attempted to stop the
American advance at Belleau wood
in the July offensive.
London, Oct. 7. —American troops
are among the wounded who are ar
riving in large numbers at a south
ern English port every day. They
are flushed with victory and jubi
lantly declare "the Allies have Fritz
beaten to a frazzle." Wounded Ger
man prisoners are most despondent.
They admit the end is not far oft
and say it is impossible for Germany
to hold out much longer.
The larger percentage of the Ger
mans are bearded landstrum troops
with a sprinkling of boys in their
teens.

M'ADOO, LIBERTY
LOAN CHIEFTAIN,

Finds It "Cinch" to Raise Bil
lions When Folks Respond
Liberally
Washington, Oct. 7.—From door to
door, William G. McAdoo trudged in
the rain yesterday selling Liberty
bonds.
It was not the secretary of the
treasury, but Mr. McAdoo, citizen,
member of a canvassing toam, who
gathered a pocketfull of signed pledge
cards from Washington residents, In
cluding President Wilson, a negro
maid, an American grocer, a score of
women war workers, a janitor, and
a millionaire or two. In a middle
class neighborhood to which his team
was assigned, Mr. McAdoo got the
most subscriptions, and those which
made him comment when his work
was done:
"It's a cinch to raise billions when
folks come across like that. Plenty
of people have money to lend the
government. Just waiting for the op
portunity,"
Great Haul For Liberty
Late in the day, after an hour and
a half of tramping about Mr. McAdoo
and his working partners counted up
the total. They had a little less than
$1,800,000 in pledges. A round mil
lion had come from Bernard Baruch,
chairman of the War Industries
Board, into whose house Mr. McAdoo
dropped on his way home. One pledge
for $20,000 bore the signature of
Woodrow Wilson, payable on a ten
months Instalment plan. Another
from Eugene Meyer, a member of the
Capital Issues Committee, was for
$500,000. Most of the balance was
In $5O and $lOO amounts, subscribed
by householders who on answering
their doorbells displayed amazement
to And a tall man whom they recogniz
ed as the Secretary of the Treasury.
Marietta Thompson, a negro maid
at a home for war workers, had
subscribed, but agreed to buy another
$5O bond if Mr. McAdoo would take
the $5 initial payment in "small
change." He went away with a
pocketfull of quarters', dimes, and
nickels.
Wilson Takes $20,000 More
The sale to the President had not
been arranged in advance. On leav
ing his home, Mr. McAdoo directed
the solicitors' car to go to the White
House. He found the President pre
paring for a drive with Mrs. Wilson,
