FINANCIAL LIFE OF
HER ALLIES SAVED
of Million Raised,
Navy Trebled and Bill
ons Appropriated.
(ROBERT J. BENDER)


WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Six
months after entering the war, the
United States has made marvellous
records.
April sixth, when the President
signed the declaration of war, the
American army was shall, and un-
supplied; the navy short handed; the
railroads unable to meet demands;
the merchant marine a joke among
the nations; the army hadn't a dozen
airpIanes; no laws existed to increase
the army or raise money.
Today, half year later, million
men are armed; billions have been
appropriated; the navy trebled in
ships and men and machinery for war
built
Twenty Naval Camps.
Twenty naval training camps have
been established; air craft and pro-
jectile factories are being built. The
airpIane construction program assures
the presence of thousands of Ameri-
can aviators abroad soon.
The shipping board has contracted
for 433 ships and plans for three
steel fabricating plants costing thirty
million dollars are completed.
Railroads in Fine Shape.
Railroads are operating as one
great system. The United States in
short period has saved the financial
life of her allies. Since April sixth
she has advanced two billion five hun
dred and eighteen million four hun
dred thousand dollars.

Milner in n speech in London before

matter for n people which have ta-
ken so large a part in human inter-
