Instead of the thousands of sickly,

John Bull Saues Million Each

of thousands of shoes in crocker-sacks
were being unloaded from freight cars
on a siding and the officer commanding
said he had to get these clear so an
other lot of 100000 more could have
the space commencing next day.
For each million soldiers in the Brit
ish armies, say, million pairs of
shoes are issued about every two
months. Estimating the cost per pair
at three dollars, the total would be 49,
100000 If, instead Of repairing these
boots, new ones were issued, this would
mean $3,OOOO0O worth of boots every
two months for each 100000 men.
The repairs cost considerably less than
dollar per pair, therefore, the econ
omy realized by the shops is over ST.

Attacks On Constantine Are
Bringing Kin To His Side

said my brother-in-law was trying to
commit suicide by taking such risks!
That shows how much they know about
il! The people of Greece almost wor-
ship their King, and the great mistake
the Entente has made has been to as
sumo the contrary, and to protect and
foster a revolution against him. Had
they spent quarter the time and good
will seeking to come to an understand
Jig with the King that they have spent
in helping to build up a revolutionary
movement against him, none Of the sad
events of the last few months would
have occurred; and he and they would
have been working in perfect harmony
long since.
NO" the English Princess declared,

are so misinformed of the real condi-
tons in Greece as to consider for a
moment any attempt to take King
Constantine from the throne. But II
they should countenance it, l am posi-

short time what they should realize
now: that no one but King Constantine
is capable of leading Greece safely
through this world crisis; and that
should he go the Greek people as one
can would all him back"

descent in this country will remain loyal"
Mr.. Gerard said in his public address at
the city hall II would not mind leading
a regiment of German Americans in the
event of hostilities and feel sure l would
not be shot in the back"
Mr. Gerard said that he left Berlin

drawn into the conflict, 1t will be only
after our President has exhausted
every means consistent with upholding
the honor and dignity of the United

He emphasized the necessity for mill
tary and naval preparation on the part
of the United States. When I came
back to this country" he said. 'it was
a positive shock to me to find that In
the two years in which the world has
been on fire we have done nothing to

pletely dissipated. 1t is natures way
of eliminating the unfit.
To be precise, there are the follow
ing methods: "In-breeding," lime
breeding "out-breeding." cross

meaning rank mongrelism.
Primarily, it is not advisable to make
