Illinois, levelled at the bill indicates some
thing of the temper Of the Senate on the
matter nearest the heart Of Secretary
McAdoo.
"Twenty-seven million dollars" said
The Senator. when it comes to speaking
of millions, as Senator'S have suggested,
the figures trip over the tongue as lightly
as if one were tossing coppers out in
bayfield,. Millions mean nothing now.
Why, even billions mean nothing. We
are counting up fifteen, seventeen, twenty
billions.
"The last known estimate of the ma
tional wealth, in 1910, was S187, 100000
900, and, counting the increase that has
come with such prosperity as the war
brought prior to 1917, the increase in
value OF all tangible property, the fran
chises, good will, patents, and the like, we
have at this time, fairly estimated, no
more than o,oOO,O0O,OOO When we
reash $40 1000, 100000 of taxes or indebted
ness, we shall have per cent. of the ag,

in twelve and one-half years we would, by
the taxing power, reach every dollar in
private ownership in the United States.
Twelve and half years! The Napo-
leonic wars lasted that long. The press
reports from across the ocean are not es-
pecially reassuring for early peace, how

selected for the battle
line. In New York the
early examinations re-
veal a small percentage
of fit men among those
examined. New York
expects to examine
more than 100000 to
get its quota of $4,000.
Other cities figure cor
respondingly.
The Secretary Of War
declares that almost the
entire ten million Of the

called for examination
within the year. The
law authorizes mainten-
ance Of an army Of
100000 men at its
maximum strength. The
possibility of further
legislation to cover fut-
ure drafts begins to
loom up, there being
disclosed the evident
need of a law to cover:

German Insurance and
Spies in Mexico

THE Federal government has not always
l. appeared to let the left hand know what
the right hand was doing. The plea of
Senator Frelinghuysen has won some lib
erty of action for German insurance
companies operating in the United
States, despite the unlimited means Of
sending military information to the en-
cmy afforded by their activities. But
the State Department, deaf for the mo-

The press censorship is ended for the
time in Madrid; for the moment the
chance of democratic agitation boiling
over is past. Greece and Italy have found
IN agreement for their Balkan differences.
The persuasive voice of Venizelos and
Italian discovery that Balkan compromise
is best for her future have combined to
create a basis Of understanding between
the two. Greece shall have Northern

Redmond is there and the Sim Fein in

violent events may explain it.

THE government has momentarily
l. dropped its objections to the fota>
ton of private loans for other govern
ments in the United States. There was
I. time not so long ago when bankers were
informed that the government would rath,
err do that kind of business itself than
have it left to private sources. The sit
uation now has changed, however, and
Canada will shortly find itself in posses
sion of $1O0,000,O00 borrowed from New
York bankers.
The balance of trade between the
United States and the Dominion Of Cana
da is at the present time strongly in favor
of the United States. The 100000 900
which the United States authorized for
Allied use has had to submit to many
heavy demands and the situation is such
that Secretary McAdoo prefers to let pri-
vate interests finance the Canadian gov
eminent, thus establishing credits in
American markets for Canadian balances.

Theatre Changes
Managers
F. J. Gruber Takes Charge of
Temple Theatre.

A business change of more than
passing Importance took place in our
city the past week when Eugene |.
Adams, manager OF the Temple Theatre
since its construction, sold his interests
to Frank j. Gruber of East Jordan's
Cherryvale Theatrical Colony.
Mr.. Adams has other business in
terests and decided to close out his
management OF the Theatre.
Mr.. Gruber has made his summer
home in East Jordan for a number Of
years. His wide experience in things
theatrical will be OF inestimable benefit
in booking attractions for our city, and
we feel that under his management
patrons of the theatre will be offered
most excellent attractions in the years
to come.

tor was fined 500.
No light pastries, mullins, crumpets
or fancy tea cakes may be made. No
currant or milk bread may be made
nor any sugar be used In making any
bread.
In addition to the governmental reg
ulatiOns the food controller carries on
continuously a strong propaganda for
voluntary rationing and food saving in
the home. All households are asked to
limit their consumption of bread TO
four pounds week a person, of meat
to two and half pounds and sugar
three-quarters of pound.
Those families agreeing to do this
put up in window, facing the street
so that all may see, a conspicuous card
bearing the legend, SIN honor bound,
we adopt the national scale of volun-
tary rations."
This pledge Of voluntary restriction
has been widely accepted. In the lit
tie town of Church Stretton, contain
ing 253 houses, the card is displayed in
225. Thee are other records nearly
as good In some towns the average
ration a person has been reduced to
an amount below that asked for by the
government.
