THE SIZE OF 1T.
BY Secretary of War Baker.

This is truly a great undertaking worthy of a great people, for
modern war is no longer a conflict of a selected few who represent
the nation, but it is really the era of nation against nation, and, while
some OF Is are at the front in battle or up in the clouds fighting with
AR craft o in some one of the other places of military activity. there
is an obligation OH every one of us who stay at home to do our part
as faithfully as the soldiers are called upon to do theirs at the front.
The mere business of this enterprise is very great. Perhaps can
give some idea to you of what it means if l quote for your information
a few comparative figures.
Take. for instance, the subject of aeronautics. In 1915 the con-
gress appropriated something less than $5OOOOO for the building of
arr craft TIN the army. In 1917 the appropriation was $47, 100000, and
now congress is considering a bill which appropriates the great sum
OF Sb39OOOOO for the building of airplanes.
Under normal circumstances the appropriation made by congress
Tor u army regular supplies is about S10O00O00 and this year
for ware the first appropriation is $l1OOOOOOO. In the item of trans
portatlon for the army, instead of the peace time appropriation of
some $l3OOO,OOO or $l4, 1000 congress already has appropriated
$222O0.OOO. For clothing and such items, instead of ordinary ap-
preparation of $6,5O0OOO, congress has appropriated more than 5000.
100000.
Take under the item of supplies. We must buy o for the
armes that we are training and sending abroad 100000 blankets,
100000 yards of bobinets, 45OO0O0O yards of cotton cloth. 81.
100000 yards of unbleached drlling-nay, we have to go to every
factory and workshop in this country and start its wheels spinning in
order that these unprecedented quantities of our supplies NAV be
available for our armies.
And then we must rear in the United States 16 cities within the
incredibly short space of time of three months. They are to be built
OF wood, and each of these Is cities is to house 10000 men, not only
with places of shelter, but with places for their cooking. hospitals and
all OF the buildings that ordinarily go with a city. And tell you
these things, not to magnify the size of the bank, but to illustrate to
you the way IN which our congress is being made, for can tell you
that, although all these things are unprecedented in size and quantity,
American. industry is so rapidly responding that they are being fur
nshed and will be supplied on time.

Turkey Freed.

The Italian Government has set
the informed Spanish-Jewish civil

reason being that "these Jews are
to be considered as Turkish sub

and are, therefore, like the Ar
menians, the inhabitants of Leba-
non, etc., the friends of the En-
tente." These measures were
adopted because the Spanish

Tel Abb not Destroyed.

The London correspondent of
the Jewish Morning Journal tele-
graphed last Sunday that the for
mer reports that the Jewish quar-
ter of Jaffa, Tel Abb, was entirely
destroyed is not true. Not single
building was touched and the whole
quarter has not been attacked or
injured. All the Zionist institu-
tions have been transferred to
Jerusalem or to the Petach Tikvah
colony.
The same dispatch contains the
statement that the expulsion of the
Jews from Jaffa was brought about
because of the rumors that have
reached Palestine Of the open de-
monstrations in America in favor
of obtaining Palestine for the Jews
and the boastfulness of the Jews
that they regarded this as an ac-
complished fact.
