WASHINGTON, D. Cr Oct 21. It U wtimaUd that
there are twenty-five million subscribers to the Fourth
Liberty Loan, and. that the loan was oversubscribed by
several hundred millions.
v (By Associated Press).
LONDON, Oct. 21. The German reply to President
Wilson's note has been received.
Germany has ordered the submarine commanders to
cease torpedoing passenger ships.
In the reply Germany refutes the charges of President
Wilson that illegal and inhuman acts have been com
mitted. , ,
Germany hopes that the United States will approve of
no demand irreconcilable with the honor of the German
people, and with the opening of the way to a peace of
justice.
Germany protests against the reference of President
Wilson to illegal and inhuman acts ,and denies that the
German navy purposely destroyed lifo boats with passeng
ers. It is proposed that these facts be cleared up by neu
tral commissions.
The German government suggests to the President that
the opportunity be brought about for the fixing of details
to the evacuation of occupied territory.
The note says that Germany has disptached orders to the
submarine commanders, precluding the torpedoing of pas
senger, ships.
A fundamental change in the German constitution pro
viding for representations by the people in decisions of
peace and yar, is announced.

LONDON, Oct. 21. Tho govern-
nicnt of Qermany In her note today
claims tho sanction of International
law for currying out the destruction
of property during retreats, and soya
that tho troops aro under strict In
structions to spare prlvat6 property
and care for tho population to tho
best of their ability.
Whero transgressions occur, tho
KUllty are being punished.

their final statements with tho pos
sibility that tho final total will bo
aomowhat larger; than this. Our
quota was $485, (00 which means an
oversubscription of about $140,000.
Up to the last minute urgent ap
peals came to me that I should hold
open the books to tho last and try to
make tbo over-subscription as high
as possible to help take caro of short-;
ages oUowltere. Such appeals aro
hard to resist and hard to meet, but
I compromised by trying to get sub
scrlptlons from very one who had
not already subscribed and by not
asking tho man who had made his

ple 1 reason enough for our over
subscription and wo are proud of It.
At the beginning or the drive wo
wcro told positively that wo need not
expect help from the outaldo corpora
tions In particular the timber com
panies, which subscribed ovor $100,
000 of our quota n the Third Liber
ty Loan. In consequence of this wn
only estimated $10,000 from this
aource. Wo recognised too tho fact
that our quota wns based on our bank
resources and thpse resources did not
Includo a dollar' of money belonging
to any of tho timber companies which
are ao heavily Interested In the Conn
ty and on tho other hand tho cities
where the money belonging to these
companies Is banked would have
their quotas Increased by the amount
of these deposits. Mrs. Louise Leo
Voyo however, undertook the work
of the Abscntoe Committee nnd an
tiounced that alio would have "to bo
shown" that tho companies which
hold such a largo percentage of Kin

help on the County's quota. We now
take pleasure In acknowledging In

appreciation of the peoplo of Klamath
