In the introduction to the balance
sheet it is pointed out that, while the
exact figures are not available, 1t is
a well-known fact that the surplus
food producing sections Of the world
are practically controlled by the en-
tente allies, either directly or through
their control of the seas. The same Is
true, to q great extent, of territories
producing metals and coal.
Japan has not yet been an active
factor in the European theater of the

Pacific ocean. 1t has enrolled in its
army about 100000 men, out of an
effective man power Of 1O,5OO,OOO. The
entire army and navy, as well as the
unenrolled man power, may be said to
be still In reserve.
"While Russia has nominally about
6,OOO,OOO men enrolled In its army and

Russian Situation Grave.
1.-THE extreme gravity of the present
situation in Russia is, therefore, ap-
parent, especially when it is borne in
mind that if Germany can gain con-
troll of Russia or force a separate
peace with Russia, even if Russia re-
would be possible for Germany to draw
therefrom an enormous quantity of
foodstuffs and the raw material for
munitions of war. On the other hand,
if Russia can be kept in line with the
entente allies, it would seem that the
TeutOnic allies must be compelled to
capitulate, at a reasonably early date,
from sheer exhaustion.
''While considering the danger |
points we must not overlook the fact |
If the virulence of the Teutonic sub |
marine campaign. 1t is impossible, |
however, to present figures in this con-
lection which have statistical value.
''The fact should not be lost sight of
hat Germany now controls Belgium,

and a large portion of
poland, having a combined population
f about 32,300,000 1t is true that

been for this athletic field, the sailors would have had no place ashore where they could go for clean, healthy sport. All this and much more the Comforts Fund does for the men of our Navy: sometimes providing for their small comforts. sometimes adding to their recreation, and oftentimes, as when woolen garments. sea boots and rubber coats are given the men of a. destroyer ordered to the war zone, making an important contribution to their health and fighting efficiency.
 Now the Navy League needs more money to carry on this good work War enlistments are increasing the personnel of the Navy and Marine Corps to three times their size six months ago. The exigencies of war service have also greatly increased the demands upon the Comforts Fund. Therefore the Navy League is calling for 10000 patriotic Americans to help 1t raise money for the Comforts Fund. The League Is distributing coin boxes all over the country asking persons to drop into them their spare nickels, dimes and quarters and to solicit such small contributions from their friends.

~ AVE FOR THE Sailors and Ma rines," is the appeal now made N by the Navy League of the United States to the American people. Money is needed to increase the Comforts Fund. which the League administers to provide for the well fare and comfort of the men of the U. s. Navy and the Marine Corps. :
 This fund provides those enlisted for the Nations defense with extra woolen clothing for war service that Is sorely needed in the cold, camp climate Of the submarine zone. and by the Ma rines in the trenches in France. It gives the men of the Navy such com- forts as kit bags with buttons, spools of thread. scissors, and needles handi- 1y assembled to make 1t easier for Jack to get along aboard ship without the attentions of the ministering angels he has left behind at home. It provides them with comfort bags con- taining everything from soap to candy and from tobacco pouches to paper, pencils. safety pins. scrub brushes and playing cards. It gave the men of the Atlantic Fleet a no acre athletic field with baseball diamonds and every pro- vision for outdoor recreation when the Fleet was ordered to q secret base upon the declaration of war.

STOCK MARKET HIT
 BY BEAR RAIDERS
United States Steel and Railroad Stocks In Particular Suffer Mark.
 ed DeDreciatiOn In Value.

New York, Sept. 4.-Prices on the stock exchange broke sharply today, the decline attaining almost the wid- est dimensions of any session this year.
 The slump embraced many railroad issues at recesSiOns of 2 to , points. Some of the rails were carried to low est quotations since the memorable decline of last December and a few others fell to the lowest quotations recorded in many years, if not in their history. i
 At no time was support more than feeble, the bears having no trouble in forcing prices lower after every slight rally. Selling began with the renewal of recent pressure of profess sional interests, but as the movement gathered momentum, many investment holdings were added.
 Many accounts were closed when traders found themselves unable to respond to calls for more margin. Commission houses were active in the selling. :
 Quite apart fro mthe primary causes which have their origin in Washing ton, today's collapse was made more easy by local conditions. Last weeks heavy contractions of bank re- serves to the smallest total reported since the adoption of present methods had it's effect in tighter money. A few banks also deemed it necessary to call outstanding loans and others were chary of industrial collateral.
 Total sales approximate 100000 shares, of which United States steel supplied about 370,O00, or more than one third.

sea and perhaps to spend months and months on patrol duty on a destroyer in the North Sea or in the war zone where the climate is both cold and excessively damp. Good woolen cloth ing, with a helmet that he can pull down over his head to his shoulders, a warm sweater. muffler and wrist lets will make life much cheerier for him.
 Recently the Comforts Committee of the Navy League has undertaken to supply some of these woolen garments to British, French and Russian sailors. The women of England have been en- gagged in this work for a long time, but the needs of the British navy, with the thousands and thousands of men they have placed in their anti submarine patrol service, has made the demand so heavy that they well come this assistance from their sisters in America. Also there is very great need of these garments in some cases among French and Russian sailors. Not many of the French sailors are in northern waters, but those who are need this help from America. The Russian sailors have work to do in bitter weather, particu- larly. those in the northern fleet and the League is sending garments for these men to Archangel. If you like to feel that your money has gone to help the lot of these brave sailors of our allies you may so direct and the Navy League will follow your direc- tions.

work with the Navy League have built up, in the short period of four months, a nationwide industry in which more than 100000 American women are engaged. Navy League units are in every State in the country and in every city of consequence, from Maine to Florida, from New York to Cali fornia. It is a tremendous task to keep this organization going and sup piled with materials Most of the women engaged in the work of course, buy their own materials, besides giving their labor to the making of the ar ticles. But many of them cannot af- ford this. Consequently the League buys the material for them, which it is able to secure at the lowest prices. and then with their labor given to the work the sailors are provided with comforts of every sort.
 Unless you have had service on a warship, in war time, in foreign waters, 1t would be difficult for you to appreciate how much the sailor man needs the endless number of small comforts that at home were provided for him-he knew not how. Some of these things he very badly needs to preserve his health-woolen clothing, for instance. Do you know that Con- gress does not appropriate money for the sailor to buy any renewal of his uniforms or clothing? When he en- lists he is given a complete outfit, al- though that outfit does not include the woolen garments the League supplies him, and when that first outfit is worn out or lost, he must buy clothes to re- place it with his own uooA1 anI ns
