LOW COST OF WAR
TO GERMAN EMPIRE
French Economist Gives Six
Reasons Why Kaiser Is
Able to Keep Down
Expenses.
Correspondence of The Associated Pressl

| Correspondence OF The Associated Pressl
Paris, May l4,-On the supposition
that Germany would be glad to call
the war a draw, Andre Cheradame,
an author and journalist, points out
some advantages that Germany would
gain from such settlement, the prin-
cipal OF which is the relative low cost
of the war to Germany, TO this time,
as compared with the outlay of the
entente allies.
There are slx fundamental reasons
why Germany has been able, in his
opinion, to conduct the war with less
expenditure than any one of the en-
tente allies in proportion to the num-
Der of men put into the field;
| Absence of Improvisation In tho German
effort.
| Salaries well established for tho produc-
tion OF armament and munitions
| Absence Of wastage due TO the absence OF
improvisation.
| Economical labor.
Free iron ore and coal from invaded re-
gions
Economical transportation by reason of
| the grouping OF tho central powers inside
| the battle lines,
Work Already Standardized.
Germany, he asserts, had only to
develop with machine tools built on
its own territory, in order to produce
the enormous series of types of can
non and the different calibers of pro-
jectiles that we're needed. All these
had been carefully and minutely
worked out in the tranquility OF
peace, while, on the other hand, the
production of war material was in
significant in France and almost moth
ing in Great Britain and Russia at the
beginning of the struggle,
In all of the entente countries it
was necessary to improvise, to con-
struct rapidly new works, to equip
old ones with new machine tools
brought from America at enormous
expense and at the same time to i'm
provise new types of cannon and
projectiles.
Improvisation Is Costly.
This improvisation, NJ. Cheradame
declares, in time of war occasions a
great many false steps, inevitable
wastage of material and an immense
increase in general expenses.
The remarkable extension to state
of war OF industrial methods that were
highly developed and systematized in
time of peace, says NJ. Cheradame,
enabled Germany to avoid i'll every
branch of construction enormous
losses of raw materialsaof every kind,
from which all the entente allies have
suffered.

NotabIeS Ext0II Red
Cross Volunteer Workers

Washington, May 25.-The colossal
relief and rehabilitation task that con-
fronts the American Red Cross if the
United States is to do its full part
in the war was detailed by notable
group of speakers today at confer
ence of men and women from forty
cities who have volunteered to assist
the society's war council.
Major General John ]. Pershlng,
Herbert c. Hoover, Secretary Baker,
William H. Taft and Henry P. Davi-
son, in turn told the volunteers that
they must go to work expecting a
long hard task, but one which would
stand out in history as the greatest
philanthropic effort Of the age. While
the conference was in session Presi-
dent Wilson issued proclamation
designating the week Of June l8 to Is
as Red Cross week during which the
people of the United States will be
called upon to give generously and in
a spirit of patriotic sacrifice for the
support and maintenance of this work
OF national need.
Mr.. Dawson, who at the presidents
request became chairman of the war
council, declared the $l00,000,00O fund
which it is proposed to raise quickly,
would be only beginning.

By JOHN ]. LENTZ.

Former Congressman from Ohio.
Society and government have fought
their way step by step to free press,
free school, free speech and free
pulpit, knowing that all four of these
agencies are necessary to promote and
procure correct public opinion.
We live in an age that is cursed
with the speed craze in forming opin-
ions as we'll as driving automobiles.
Shallow pates come to a conclusion
on few facts.
Opinions of today may be as far
wrong as were those of the past.
Half a century ago public opinion on
opposite, sides of the Mason and
Dixon line justified a civil war, in
which hundreds of thousands of men
murdered each other. Today public
opinion on either side would brand
man a traitor who would suggest
that the controversy over states
rights be opened up again.
Universal education, through
free press, free school, free speech
and free pulpit is enriching and en-
nobling the average mind and equip
ping it to practice the deliberations
of great judicial tribunal and attain
a more wholesome and righteous pub
lie opinion.
We now have a worldwide war
demonstrating that the rulers of all
these nations have not taken their
own prayers seriously, or, if they
have, it demonstrates the inefficicacy
of prayer and the impotency of Diety.
Silently, persijtently, and to most
men unconsciously, there are three
forces at work which will kill the war
germ-prohibition, suffrage and insur-
ance. War, prohibition and equal suf
frage will hold their places on the
first page for a short time and then all
three will become relics on the junk
heap of barbarous age. There will
be no more tyranny Of war, no more
diseases and death due to alcohol; no
more serfdom for women.

JAPAN IS WARNED
AGAINST GERMANS
DR.. Nitobe Tells His People
that Calamity to Orient
Would Follow Defeat
of the Allies.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Toxic, May 30.--A warning against
the spread of pro-German sentiment
among the Japanese people has been
uttered by DR.. Inazo Nitobe.
Through the columns of a business
organ he has declared that two dam
gers confront his people during the
present war. The first is the pro-
German illusion, and the second the
tendency to luxurious living. He
said
Though Japan is one of the bel
ligerents, we did only little fighting
at the outset of the war. and for the
rest we did nothing but make gain
We realized unexpected profits
through war trade. Some Japanese
make no hesitation in offering un-
stinted tribute of admiration at the
German altar.
No Lauding the Germans.
This is no time for the Japanese
to indulge in lauding the Ger
mans and disparaging the en-
tente people. For if Germany
should win victory in this war and
control Europe, it would be an ap-
palling calamity for all the states of
the orient. If the Japanese were so
much bewitched by the splendid Ger
man organization as to adore other
Objectionable German qualities, such
as disregard of justice, humanity and
international treaties, it would be a
most deplorable misfortune for the
nation.
"If the German ambitions should be
realized, Japan itself, unless it were
conquered by Germany, would have
to become ultra-military, and sacrifice
all other aims of civilization at the
altar of accumulation of warlike
weapons and military preparedness.
With a country like Germany roam
ing about at large in the world there
could never be guarantee of peace
without powerful military strength"
DR.. Nitobe condemns the extrava-
gance of those who have become rich
through the war, and says they are
exercising a degenerating influence
on the morality of the masses of the
people.

Supposedly Dead Man
Wakes Up the Morgue

"a ghost!" gasped the attendant at
the coroners morgue last night as he
stared into the visage of form that
faced him. The ghosts features
worked excitedly.
"S-s-s-s-s-s-say," he began.
"Y-y-y-y-y-y-es," answered the
morgue attendant. "Wha-wha-what
can | -d-d-d-d-d-d-do f-f-for y-y-
y-y-you"
"T-t-t-tell 'em I'm n-n-n-not DID,
dead"
"C-c-c-c-certainlyw chattered the
morgue attendant. "B-b-but w-why
aren't y-y-y-you?" .
All Of which was a perfectly logical
question. For in the back room Of
the morgue was the body of man
taken from the Platte river yesterday
morning and identified by four per-
sons as that of John Moran, other
wise known as Suffering Jack" And
yet, before the morgue attendant was
another just such person-and he was
suffering denials.
The attendant took hurried and
rshivering peek into the chapel OF the
morgue. The body Of the man iden-
tilted as Suffering Jack still was
there-and' it gave him bit of reas-
surance. Whereupon his teeth grad
ually ceased chattering and he gath
ed the information that there had
been mistake in identification.
Hence the visit of Suffering Jack"
to refute the assertion that he was
dead.
The body later was identified as
that of John Barrett, 14O5 Umatilla
street, an employe of the Denver Gas
and Electric company. His drown
ing still is, mystery.-Denver Post.

Germans have been able to utilize a
force OF about 100000 prisoners of
war. The official report OF the in
veStigating commission appointed by
the French government and dated
April II, 1917, concerning acts COM
mitted by the Germans contrary to
international law, shows how they
utilize this labor i'll the manufacture
as we'll as in the construction OF de
tense works. Besides these 2,000.000
prisoners of war, the Germans had
under their control 100000 Belgians,
100000 Frcnchmen, +,500000 Scrhi-
ans, 100000 Roumanians and b.
100000 Poles, in the invaded regions.

a little package Of trouble on the

Another little thing the men prob
ably will be glad to hear is that the
poll tax is to be collected from now
on. In the past the subject of poll
tax was dropped by common consent,
but it is going to be revived.
Nevertheless, the rule by women is
proving popular. An elderly man who
was painting house paused in his
labors long enough to comment on it.
In some respects he conhded, II

Movie Romance Blasted
When Girl Pinched Cupid

Ona Ragsdale, II years old, who
said she came from Arlington, KY,
is a prisoner in the East St. Louis
jail because she eloped with Bernard
La Blanc, IA years old, 800 North
Fifth street, East st. Louis, and now
Ona says she is done with the love
stuff for the rest of her days"
The girl said she met La Blanc. or
"Buddie," as she calls him, in NOV
ing picture show. In some manner
she accidentally pinched "Buddie's"
hand in the seat. She apologized,
started conversation, and then,
they, having nothing more to say,
fell in love. This was some time ago.
They planned to go to Kentucky,
starting Wednesday. The girl stanced
the elopement. They got as far as
Red Bud, ILL.,, and meant to go to
work, but "Buddie" became homesick
and cried. The girl gallantly paid
for a telegram to "Buddie's" mother
telling her how badly he felt. There
was no answer, SO she purchased
tickets back to East St. Louis. Ar
irving there, "Buddie" was not posi-
tive of his mothers expression, and
ran from her. The mother captured
Ona, took her to the police station,
and the girl was ordered to the Belle
vile jail. But case of smallpox there
caused her return to East St. Louis.
She probably will be sent to the state
industrial school for girls at Geneva,
but she wants to go to her mother
at Wickliffe, Ky.
The girl said her parents were di-
vorced when she was a year old. Both
remarked and she lived with her
father and stepmother until the lat
ter died. Then she came to East St.
Louis and found work as a house
maid. Later she was employed at the
Deaconess hospital and earned $l2 a
month. She had hoped to become
nurse, but then she met "Buddie."
Now her careers will be shaped by
the state, unless her mother inter-
poses.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

While the entente allies have been
obliged to pay the high ocean freights

and Poland immense quantities of

the labor at very low rate, bring
