ism, have succeeded in opposing the
barrier OF their breasts TO the inya-
der and behind her army stands the
Italian people to a man.
Our allies aid has come to us
spontaneously, as from brothers, at
our most troubled hour and Italy
fully appreciates the high value OF
the sympathy and support which
have come and continue to come
every moment from the United
States. The democratic soul OF Italy
knows we'll that It can have the
fullest confidence in the American
democracy.
III is with the utmost JOY that
have noted the direct participation
in the inter-allied supreme war
council at Paris OF authorized repre-
sentatyes Of the United States.
"Henceforth we all have but one
single enemy. Just as evidently II
is single will which guides the ef.
forts Of the opposition. champions OF
violence and autocracy represent
only single people and single
army
Such unity will conduct us with
irresistible force to victory, which
we shall salute on each side OF the
ocean as a radiant liberation of the
human race"

For the next fiscal year, ending
June 80. 1919. the estimated excess
OF disbursements over receipts Is
s7.s27,973.ss0.
Huge war expenses and loans to
Americas allies at the rate OF half
billion dollars a month have made
these estimates many times larger
than any ever presented in secre-
tary OF the treasury's annual report

ordinary expenditures for the year
ending next June 80. $l1,527,ooo.-

Total estimated receipts for the
current fiscal year are $12.5s0.732.-
500, which. with balance In the
treasury last June 80 of s1.066.9s3,-

JOSEPHINE MAY
ESCAPE ORAF 7
II Next Army Called Numbers Less
Than Million Men, This County
Probably Exempt

a letter received Dy the local reg
lstration board from the adjutant
generals Office, states that each
county will receive credit fo- the
volunteer enlistments In tna army
since June 80 last. In filling the next
army quota.
The last draft was for an army OF
$4,000 men. The quota OF Oregon.
before any deductions. for enlist
ments had been made, was 1874.
On a population basis. the gross
quota OF Josephine county was 50.
As the county had already furnished
more than that number OF men By
enllstments in the army prior to that
time. this county was not called mp
on for any In the draft
The question OF what the county
will be called upon TO do when the
next draft comes. win depend. OF
course. upon the size OF the army to
he raised. II is probable. however.
that II the call is for 100000 men
or less, this county will again have
sent its full quota by volunteer en-
listments before the time OF the
second draft. The number OF enlist.
ments at the local recruiting ONCE
since June 30. has been SO. This
is about equal to the county's quota
on draft OF a million men.
