TOURISTS SAVING
S5OO.OOO A DAY

Washington, Oct. 2.-Upwards of
s50O,000 a day is being saved to the
United States by the Aemricans re-
turning to this country, according u
combinations at the department of
commerce.
To date it is estimated that about
$4,000 Americans are already home
from Europe or on their way. Plac-
ing tkcir expenses abroad at the low
figure of So day, the money which
will remain in the United States will
total $475,0OO daily. For about three
months of the year the saving will
approximate more nearly $1,000,000
daily as the expenditures of the more
wealthy visitors to Europe far ex-
ceeds $5 day.
It is estimated that those who
visit Europe's health resorts annu-
ally leave more than $100,000,000
abroad. The expenses of Americans
travelling for pleasure approximate
$25O,OOO,OOO additional Practically
all This money is expected to remin
in the United States while the war
is on.
In addition to this grcst sum this
country is now importing but little
from abroad while Europe will re-
quire great quantities of supplies of al!
all kinds from the United States
This will cause the flow of more gold
to this country and if the war is pro-
long the per capita supply Of
money in the United States will prob
ably exceed that of any period in
history.

FEDERAL LEAGUE is
HAVING IT'S TROUBLES
(By Hal Sheridan)

Not having any minor Federal
League, where it can send players
that it doesn't need, the Federal
League has to keep on its payroll all
youngsters who fail to make good o.
old-timers who are slipping. The rea-
son they don't dare to let any of these
go outright is plain. If they did they
would scare away stars whom they
hope to lure from the American and
National Leagues. These athletes
wouldn't hop to the Feds if they
feared they would be set free with
nowhere to go if they started to go
badly.
Each team in the Fed League has
from thirty to forty players. AS 25
is the maximum carried by any club
during its regular playing season it
can be seen easily that the Feds are
totinG an enormous expense account.
The Feds have taken in at the gate
enough money to break even under
ordinary conditions. But, with the
added expense of a vast number of
players not needed, the league prob
ably will have a good-sized dficit as a
whole.

Nov the order was given to fix
tayonets. Before the enemy arrived.
the artillery fire had increased until
| it was an inferno. German aviators
were directing their guns and at times
VIC fired on aeroplanes, but our shots
were ineffective. Our gunners had an
awful time, as the German cavalry got
around behind us and charged right
up to the guns. Very few of the Ger
mans escaped, however, for whole
rlatoons rushed to the rescue, empty
ing their magazines as they ran.
"a moment later the Germans were
on us from the front. We let them
come until their breasts rose above
the neighboring hillock and then we
decimated them. They fell back in
confusion, and dropped to>the ground.
Scores of machine guns were turn
ed on us and we were ordered to
prepare to charge. On the word OF
command we sprang from the ground
as one man, and, with yell after yell,
charged the advancing Prussians. AS
we neared their ranks we fired indis-
criminately and only a few remained
to cross bayonets with us. The re-
mainder rushed off and were shot IN
the back as they went. They left
more than half their regiment on the
field in killed and wounded"
