REVIEW OF 1917.

With the beginning oil new year
,hnre appears 10 be no indication Of
the end of the great world war. Il
has progressed for over three years
and has cost in killed and disabled
l9D00 .0O0 men and SlG0.O0d o,bha.
according to war statistici0As and
If the war continues until August The
cost will be $50 600 000 900 more and
3.0o0,000 added to the list Of killed
and disabled. \ large percentage OF
the cost of the war bolh in moneH.
killed and disabled will fan upon the
United States.
The destruction OF property amt
life. The removal from industrial cir
cles OF 50 many million men cannp'
help but make great impr7 sl NJ
upon the economic, social AMI spi-
ritual life OF the country the dos
truetion OF cities, ia tories. railroads
and devastation Of great areas Of
country in the war zones win require
many years to restore % natural or
ante.belum conditions
The United States has undergone
changes that arc almost revolution
airy. The enforcement Of draft tha
appointment of food. coal aud railroad
dictators are digresSi0ns from the
normal trend Of affairs and such that
could only be put through in ines 0f
war The appointment OF diCators
has stopped proiiteerng but tiu3 no
reduced prices, and the assumption OF
control OF the railroads has already
stabilized the stock market and stop
ped the growing loss Of confidence in
the ability OF he railroads to handle
. the commerce Of the country.
The United States has developed
from creditor nation to an interna-
tional banker. All American seCuri-
ties abroad have returned b this
country and the good reserve has in
creased to over $4,000 600, O00. We
have loaned to the allies $4,000 900 900
and our resources have hardly been
touched. Unless the final humiliation
Of the Kaiser Is turned over to the
United States and our wealth and
man power Is tremendously reduced
this country will be In better condi.
ion than any other to meet condi-
,ions following in the wake Of the
war
The last year has also seen The
States advance to second position as
maritime power. During tie year
.C0o,o00 tons have been added and
another 2,5et 900 are to be built in
1918. II looks ike we will soon oc
cupy the place formerly occupied by
Germany
During the year the United States
has seen the development of great
chemical industry in which over
S32o0eo.000 has been invested This
means a biz loss to Germany aa he1e
tofore all dye stulis and many Of cu'
chemical preparations came from that
country.
The war has shown the great poton
tal resources Of this country. II has
awakened the great American gi1nt
and whether the war closed this year
Or next the nations Of Eul 1912 W 4
look up 10 the United State with more
respect than they even did in tfe
last. When judgment has been
passed upon those responsible for
this great holocaust of murder and
hate LEI US trust that our cScuIcheon
viii be as clear and untarnished as IL
is at the present~tme

Eliminated Jamestown
Item From Budget Bill

WASHINGTON. June The house
today rejected the conference report
on the $3."$l. 294 .64l war budget bill
because Of a S$.Q01 900 appropriation
asserted by the senate for the pur-
chase OF the old jamestown exposition
site and buildings and lh" construction
of Il naval base aud training station
there.
The bill was sent back 10 10 the con.
ferees with instructions 10 eliminate
the exposition site provision. This
probably will be done promptly in
order not TO further delay the great
war measure which now has been the
subject of conferences for about TWO
weeks with disagreementS over Tarl-
Gus provisions.
What shall become OF the navy de-
uartments request that the site hh
acquired for an urgently needed naval
base and training station on Hampton
Roads will be left 10 the naval commit
tees. They probably will report a
separate bill later.
