ASKS SENATOR'S AID
IN BLOCKING KERBERG
Congressman Steele to Prefer
Formal Charges and Fight
Confirmation.

Washington. Dec. 2O.-Congressman
Tom Steele has been soliciting the
support of Senate members to oppose
the confirmation of J.. +. Kerberg as
postmaster at Sioux City. This seems
to Indicate that Congressman Steele
has been unable to get the adminis-
tration to back down on the Kerberg
appointment, as made during the con-
gressional vacation, and that Mr.. Ker-
berg's name will be reported TO the
Senate at an early date.
Senator Cummins was one of those
whose aid was solicited by Congress-
man Steele in the fight against Post
master Kerberg. Senator Cummins
stated that he would not be DISPOSED
to TAX up the case If it is based
merely upon factional or partisan
grounds, but that if any charges are
made against Mr.. Kerberg's fitness for
the office he will consider it his duty
to bring the charges to the attention
of the %postoffice committee. as in any
other case.
Congressman Steel Informed Sena-
tor Cummins that formal charges will
be filed If Mr.. Kerberg's nomination
is reported. There is considerable
speculation as to the character of the
charges. but they probably will not be
known until they are heard in the
postoffice committee or on the floor of
the Senate in executive session.
Some of the democratic senators
are understood to have indicated their
belief that a serious political mistake
was made in ignoring Congressman
Steele's desires as to the postmaster in
his home town, according to Washing
toni reports, and the possibility is pre-
sented of a very lively session when
the Kerberg appointment comes be-
for the Senate. The question Of sup
porting the Organization" or submit
ting to secret, private influences in the
selection of public officials in involved.
This is always a tender point with con-
gressmen and one in which they are
always threatened.

GERMANS PREPARE

London Convinced Teutonic
Powers Are Determined to
Strike Before the Allies
Are Fortified.

London, Dec. 1S.-The unprecedented
military situation in Greece has de-
veloped a new crisis.
The allied troops. which, according
to the estimates OF British newspapers,
number 100000, are fortifying them
selves about Saloniki, digging trenches
and placing guns. 1t is reported that
the Germans are preparing to advance
into Greek territory to attack them.
Whether the Bulgarians ais will
the Greeks. 1t is believed u Bulgarian
advance woul rekindle old enmities
and might draw the Greek people into
the conflict.
The Bulgarian army on the Serbo-
Greek frontier is estimated to number
100, 900, a Saloniki dispatch states.
Some correspondents there believe the
Bulgarians' halt is only temporary n
that they will cooperate with Austro-
German forces in a movement on Sa-
loniki.
The Greek general election will be
held tomorrow, but it is not expected
The result will have any controlling in
fluence on the policy of the govern
ment. The party of former Premier
Venizelos has refrained from putting
candidates into the field and the SOL
diers under arms. constituting a large

vote. King Constantine remains in
disposed.
According to the Athens correspond
ent of the Times, the German minister
at Athens told Premier Skouloudis that
the Germans would be compelled to
attack the British and French forces.
The landing of Italian forces in AL
bania is likely to prove ar important
factor, as the Italians may be able to.
attach themselves to the remainder Of
he Serbian army for concerted action.
German minister at Athens is said to
have made to the effect that Ger
many would be compelled to take ac-
ton to drive u h allies at Saloniki
If the fertilization of that base con-
tinued, brings the Balkan develop
men a step nearer a crisis. How soon
the Austro-Germans cross the Greek
frontier will apparently depend upon
how soon they may be able to collect
sufficient troops.

estimates the cash cost of year of
war, to August LIST, 1915, at $4,000 100000,
total of $46,O0O,OOOOOO. Mr.. Crammond esti-
mates that the cost to Great Britain for year
of war will reach So, 100000. This sum is
about equivalent to the accumulated war debt of
Great Britain for hundred years before the
war. The war debt of Germany (including Prus-
sia) and also that of Austria before the war,
was about the same.
''No one can have any conception of what
sac, 100000 may be. 1t is four times all the
coin in the world. If this sum were measured
out in $40 gold pieces and they were placed side
by side on the railway train, on each rail, they
would line with gold every line from New York
to the Pacific Ocean, the two Canadian lines in

rail of the Siberian railway from Vladivostok to

to rehabitate Belgium and to buy the whole of
Turkey, at her own valuation, wiping her finally
from the map.
"Or we may figure in some other fashion.
$518 per year. 1t would take ninety million
years work to pay the cost of the war; or ninety
million American laborers might pay it off in one
year, if all his living expenses were paid

sian Empire ($35,0OO,O OO,OOO) could have been
bought for less sum before the war began. It
could be had, on cash sale, more cheaply now
This sum would have paid for all the property in

The Cash Cost of War

David Starr Jordan, who is to lecture here
soon comments thus on the cash cost of war:
This war began, according to Professor
Ricketts, calculation, at a cost of $5OOOO,OOO
per day.
"Richet's calculation in 1912 was an under
estimate as to expenses on the sea and in the air.
These with the growing scarcity of bread and
shrapnel, the equipment of automobiles, and the
unparalleled ruin of cities have raised this cost
to $4,000, 900 per day.
This again takes count of the waste of
men and horses less costly than the other mater
ial of war and not necessarily to be replaced All
this is piled on top of "the endless caravan of
ciphers" ($27,0OO, 000,000) which represented
the accumulated and unpaid war debt of the
Nineteenth century.
Ewes Guyot, the French Economist, esti-
mates that the first six months of War cost
Western Europe in cash $5,4O0, 100000, to which
should be added further destruction estimated at
$11 900, 100000, making total of $17,000,000-
900. Edgar Crammond of London, another high

Early Wayne Editor
Printed His Monthly
With linked Quill Pen

The necessity Of writing in long
hand every word in each copy of his
newspaper would dismay the most
energetic editor in Wayne county to-
day He would give up his elevated
profession of enlightening the public
mind and of moulding opinion.
Such was not always the case.
Deacon Bedott bravely undertook such
titanic task on February l, 1853,
when he issued Vol /, No. 1 of the
Newport Journal
Regarding his labors, the respon-
siblity involved and the public re-
ception of his efforts, Mr.. Bedott
writes:
Realizes Responsibility.
ITO our readers: In assuming the
responsibility of public Journal at
this day and age of the world, we are
sensibly alive to the great task which
lies before us, we do not expect our
pathway to be smooth and even and
skirted with perfumed flowers-but on
the contrary we shall expect as
natural consequence-to be prict with
thorns-and to receive abuse when
praise should be our due. But We
have carefully surveyed the fild,
counted the cost and are resolutely
determined to go it or bust, so clear
the track or you'll get run over"
