WAR COST STACCERS
BRITISH Lawmakers

London, July %, - Moving in the

S3,250, 000.0j0. the largest war credit
yet asked ana bringing Great Britain's
expenditure to the colossal total of
$2G. 400. 900. 900, Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor OF the eXchequer, gave
startling figures Of the amazing growth
Of Great Britain's financial burden in
the war and emphasized from the
financial viewpoint alone the great i'm
portance OF the United States entering
the war as insuring that the allies
would not be deprived of victory
through lack of money.
The house was astonished to learn
that Great Britain's advances to the
allies and dominiGns already had eX,
ceeieG $5,00o. 0o0.0 900. The daily war
exp mixtures still approach $35,o0o,-
00e30G daily.
Expressing his disappointment at
the necessity Of such large advances
to the allies the chancellor referred
to the British standpoint Of unseltish
generosity in regarding the whole en-
tente allied cause as one and explain
ed that the cost OF all the supplies for
the allies produced in Great Britain
during the war had been betrayed by
England and that previous to the en-.
try Of America into the war much of
the supplies Of the allies produced
abroad also had been paid for by Eng

That evening Harry met his wife
more affectiOnateIy than ever. He
had a nice little surprise for her, and
he opened a parcel he had brought
in. He proudly displayed a purple
shirtwaist about two years out of
date, pair Of cheap, yellow silk
stockings several sizes too large, and
a petticOat built for miss of IA.
He tried to preserve a strictly neu-
trail exterior as he noted the look Of
dismay with which Annabel surveyed
the articles.
Il got them so cheap, dear, I could
not resist buying them. I hope you
ike the things had an awful time
getting them, there was such mob
Of women. But you see I did think
of you!"

"Oh, don't your" he responded
with carefully assumed innocent sur
prise.
And these stockings! Do you
think I wear a No. 9 shoe.
They are a tri1e large, aren't
they?"
"A man never knows about such
things. Please don't buy anything
more"
It was Harte's turn to put on the
hurt air, which he did with all due
elaboration. Annabel certainly was
devoid Of a sense of hUmOr. Never
theless about two days later he ap-
peared before his astOnished wife
with a pair of diversified gloves and a
hat of the vintage Of 1910, which hc
told AnnabeI he had bought for her
next to nothing.
This was the last straw. Annabel
overlooked with Indignation.

want to make a perfect fright OF me

His retort was so nearly identical
with her own on a previous Occa-
sion that suddenly a light seemed to
break in on her.
Did he really care for her? But
what about Mamie Beck, and what
she had seen with her own eyes?
Look herer' she cried. you neV-

out of me, she only wanted us both
to be happy again"

of humor began to twiCh the corners
of her mouth.

REACHING THE LIMIT

The United States has just about
reached the limit of endurance. 1t
must assert its international rights
or confess itself craven who is
unworthy of any rights.
The "overt act" has occurred,
and at this writing there seems no
possible means of avoiding war if
we would remain a nation of self
respecting people.
But one fact should prevail above
all others. If we are forced into
war we should go in as a united
people, with a grim determination
to leave no act undone that will
compel respect for our flag and our
citizenship.
We abhor war, but even an hon
orable warfare is preferable to a
dishonorable peace.
The time for protesting has pass
ed. The hour for determined and
overwhelming action is at hand.
When diplomacy fails the sword
must take its place.

UNIVERSAL SERVICE

A year ago only a handful of
people could be found who were in
favor of universal military service.
Now the man who opposes such SER
vice is the exception. Americans
are essentially a fair minded people
when facts are brought forcibly to
their attention, and this fact has
been amply exemplifed in the ire
mendous change Of national senti-
ment regarding universal service.
Daily papers of the great cities as
sert that the principal objection to
universal service comes from the
rural districts. But the daily pap
ers are wrong. The young men Of
our own community are on a par
with those of other rural districts,
and yet we unhesitatingly assert
that nowhere In this broad land will
be found more unified OF patriotic
sentiment than that which exists in
the hearts Of our own young men.
If the best interests of the country
demand that each oAe, rich and
poor alike, shall serve his six
months in Il training camp, then
when the time comes we will find
them stepping briskly to the front,
with heads erect and eyes upon the
flag of freedom. There will be no
Sinking, or quibblng, or hanging
back on the part of OUR young men

1t should be the first and greatest
