RUSSIA COSTLY TO U. S.
Five Billion War Revenue Addition
 Due to Her Collapse.

Back of the request of Secretary Me Adoo of congress for another $5,OOO,- 100000 lies almost complete reforma- tion of American military plans.
 Impressed with the collapse of the Russian offensive, the president and his military advisers are rapidly swing ing around to the original plans of the army general staff for an expeditionary force of over 1.5OO,O00 men.
 This will require that the new na- tional army be increased from the 5OO,- O0O originally planned to almost a mil lion.
 Secondary to these general modifica- tions it develops that comprehensive encouragement of the American forces for service on the west front is being marked out.

EDGE DEFENDS JERSEY.
Says State Officials Saved Nation Big
 Draft BIunder.

Governor Walter E. Edge asserts that New Jersey, instead of causing a tie-up in the draft, saved the country from a tremendous blunder through the discovery in the office of the adjutant general at Trenton that the drawing of names under the plan announced in the office of the provost marshal at Washington would have worked hard ships in certain precincts or wards all over the country.
 Discussing the newspaper accounts which claimed that New Jersey blum der caused the last minute abandon ment of the master key'' plan, the governor said:
 "We are willing to be the goats so long as we saved the government from d big blunder, but would like the coun- try to know the facts as they really are"
