CONSTANT GROWTH OF
 WAR EXPENDITURES
Partly Due to Asking Monthly Credits
 in Advance of French Budget.

Paris, Dec B, 5.23 D. m.-Emil Ali mond, chairman of the finance com mittee of the senate, in describing to- day the constantly growing war ex- penditure, said the growth was due partly to causes already known and partly also to lack of preliminary con- trol arising perhaps inevitably from the necessity of asking monthly cred its in advance of the budget, the result of which was ito throw the reins on the neck of administrations in all that concerns public expenditure"
 In Illustrating the growth of which he spoke. Senator Almond stated that while the military expenditure for the last five months of 1914 was S05, ,000.- 900 francs, the military expenditure for the first six months of 1915 was HOO, ,000,00O francs; for the third three months of 1915 it was 1900, 900, 900 francs; for the fourth three months of 1915 it was 1,750, ,000 francs and for the first three months of 1916 it would be 1,750,OOO,OOO francs.

Home. the golden haven where the

So soft beneath the music that a
loved lip sings.

Today's Poem
THE EVERLASTING CROUCH


The meetin' of the grouchy
AS you may pass along
Il make you think o 'somethin'
Besides bit o. song.
You said "good mornin'" to him,
But you are "busted" now,
His crouch went down your column"
His wireless" scorched you brow.
And so you lost your bearings"
All summed, you grope while,
You grouched inside and muttered
AS friends spoke with smile.
But you were not a groucher
And that is why it stung.
You soon, Of course, recovered
Your cheerful smile and tongue.
And so you come agin' 'em
Old grouchers to the bone,
And others, just thinkin'
OF troubles all their own
The higher cost o. Twin
And things you couldn't guess,
And so we mustn't mind 1t
And get in such mess.
For a higher law commands US
To love our fellow man,
And so, of course, it "stands" US
To do the best we can.
But how about the "image"
That common manhood scouts
And starts this mental scrimmage-
The everlasting crouch?

The Open Fire

You can brag about your starry skies
And sing the summer breeze,
And sing the August moons that rise
Ger ripping lakes and seas.
The nights of summer you may toast
Until your voices tire.
But after all like the most
The autumn blazing fire.
Just let me sit before the CRATE
And watch the flames ascend,
And | will not bemoan my fate
That summers at an end.
III heave no sigh for moonlight
streams;
My summit Of desire
Is just to sit and dream my dreams
Before an open fire.
