Eighty Millions a Day!
By BRIGGS

We can all recall how, early in the
war, we grappled with the idea of
the war costing, according to the es-
Inmates, about $25,000,000 a day.
Later, it cost England alone that
much, and more recently nearer
$40, 100000 every twenty-four hours.
But the world has got used to stag
gering sums, and it may be doubted
If the news from Washington that
in the 100 days since we entered
the war we have been making prep
arations on an expenditure basis of
$50. 100000 a day will startle many
of u.s.
The voluntary enlistment of near
ly 100000 men swelling the total OF
the Army, Navy, National Guard
and Marine Corps to $4,000. the Sc
lective draft applied to nearly ten
millions preparatory to getting as
many more, the popular subscrip-
and the hundred million Red Cross
fund, three billions loaned to our
Allies, nearly billion for ships, and
S640, 100000 for airplanes. have Sc
expanded our numerical horizon
that total of eight billions appro-
priated or planned in a hundred
days is easily in perspective.
Reference is made to how large
that $50, 900 placed in President
McKinley's charge to carry on the
war with Spain seemed in those
days. We had hardly grasped the
change vixen double that was voted
to President Wilson on the recent
declaration that a state of war with
Germany existed.-Pittsburg Dis.

Paying Soldiers in France

1t is an excellent idea of the ad-
ministration to pay our troops in
France by checks on the Bank of
France or in French currency. The
point is not so much that this will
save any of our coin from destruc-
ton by U-boats as that it provides
an important credit in France to
offset her obligations here. In spite
of enormous taxation and heavy
bond subscriptions there is still ow-
ing this country by France great
sums. If our boys get local money
In France they will spend it there,
much to the satisfaction of that
country. If they wish to save 1t the
money will be here as a credit when
they return and will be effective in
regulating exchange.
1t must be remembered that our
rank and file now get almost dou-
BILE the pay of former years. There
is no prohibition against drawing
out all that is due, although there is
abundant opportunity to save by
leaving funds on deposit at interest.
Canada has been more forehanded.
The private soldier or noncommis-
stoned officer while in training now
only draws one-half of his pay and
not so much If he has dependents
When he gets to France he is limit
ed to SO a month, the rest being
held for him when he returns. AS
opportunities for spending money
on the firing line are few, this re-
suits admirably for all concerned

No Nonsense About Food Bill

A food bill of genuine merit can
be enacted into law if the conference
committee will cnly follow the advice
of the President There are certain
obnoxious failures about the measure
the two measures, to be precise,
They ought to be removed.
The Senate has arbitrarily fixed
50 as the minimum price to be guar
anteed for wheat on the farm. That
Is very good arrangement for wheat
growers, but deadly to the consumer.
Prices should be regulated by the
food controller as occasion warrants
not by act OF Congress.
The Senate's scheme of ordering
the President to purchase all spirits
in bond is absurd. 1t does not make
Tor temperance. II merely saddles
an immense expense upon the coun-
try. Forbid the distillation of spirits
fnd cut out all the rest. That is what
should be done. That is what the
President favors.
The effort to clip the wings of
Herbert Hoover and hand food super
vision over to a board is without the
slightest merit. Haven't we had a
big enough dose of this sort of thing
to swallow in the divided authority
of the Shipping Board?
Then there is the plan to create a
joint committee on expenditures in
the conduct of the war. composed of
senator's and representatives So IA
tai would this be to efficiency that
the President has been forced to take
a public stand against it. He says of
1t that it would render his task of
conducting the war practically i'm
possible" And so it would It would
hamper and harass him at every turn
and would act like a brake upon
Congress. The thing is preposterous.
1t can be readily seen that a con-
gressional committee which would
act as a o-between might be of serv-
ice. If there were a body represent
ing both House and Senate that could
be called into consultation by the
President when explanations were
deemed wise, a better understanding
between the executive and legislative
branches of the government might
be establishd. But to place a smell
ing committee over the President
with power to delve into every ex-
penditure would create everlasting
confusion and seriously interfere
with the prompt prosecution of the
war.
The hands of the President MUST
Tbe free.
There is no other way If we wish
to win.-Philadelph Inquirer.

cnErHALs SACRIFICED

IN the language of a Washington
correspondent, General Goethals
= has been sacrificed on the altar
of personal politics. The only re-
deeming feature of the scandal is
that Denman, the incompetent Pa
cific coast lawyer, who came into the
shipping board merely because he
happened to be a political friend OF
McAdoo, has been forced out by the
President following Goethals' volun-
tary retirement from a place made
untenable by the petty pickering and
unnecessary delays a man OF his cali
ber and patriotism could not stand.
The result has been that the ship
building program which Goethals
outlined will be put through in much
the same way that he had planned
it, but without the driving power of
his genius for quick and effective ac-
complishment.
The President has demanded full
responsibility for the conduct of the
war, and few would deny him the
executive powers in which he is
clothed by the constitution. But one
begins to understand the impatience
of Congressman with an administra-
tion that Would permit petty, per-
sonal politics to rob the nation OF
the services of man like the builder
of the Panama Canal in a crisis like
the present. The President could
have stopped the row between Den
man and Goethals at the beginning
IL he had seen fit to antagonize a
political friend of his son-in-law in
the cabinet, and Goethals would have
been saved the embarrassment of re-
signing from a post he is eminently
qualified to fill and the country the
scandal of unthinkable delay at o
time everybody is demanding action
and when victory or defeat may rest
with the number of new ships we are
able to put into the sea TO combat
the activities of German submarines
The country is sending its best
manhood into the training camps
and 1t demands the very best brains
at the head of every branch of war
preparedness. 1t wants to believe
that politics are subordinate to pa.
triotism at the National Capital, but
its confidence in the administration
is sorely shaken by such incidents as
that which developed yesterday.

WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS

* ENATORS Penrose and Lodge
We're we'll within their rights be-
fore the Senate yesterday in de-
manding to know why the Creel gov
ernment information bureau persists
in distorting the news" it gives to
the public. The garbled and grossly
exaggerated account of the attack by
U-boats on American transports is
certainly a proper subject for Off
cial investigation.
Senator Penrose rightly said that
the public is entitled to all the infor-
nation with regard to the war that
does not give our enemies aid OF
comfort. put that Americans want
the news as it is, unedited, unex-
purgated and untainted. That is pre-
cisely what the people desire and
what senators who do their full duty
will demand they be given.
Senator James, the Kentucky cham.
pion of the administration, rushes to
the rescue with the assertion that
there is no inefficiency in either the
War or Navy Departments that needs
covering up. Why then object to
such an inquiry as Penrose and
Lodge propose?
The public wants the war prose.
cuted with efficiency and vigor. II
cares nothing for politics nor per-
sonalities. Republicans and Demo.
Gratis look very much alike to the
people just now, so far as the con.
duct of the war is concerned. There
are stalwart patriots and able execu-
tives in both parties. These will re.
ceive unstinted praise. The fail.
ures in both parties naturally must
expect to be criticised and-it ill be.
hooves anybody to attempt to ex.
cuse them.

Always bear in mind results" de-

Every trouble is made lighter, and
you'll find your outlook brighter.

If you mean to conquer trouble you

You must act the man and face the

Face 1t bravely, and your trouble
