Where The Money Goes

- sue of liberty bonds and intending subscribers
to the second libetty loan are interested in know
ing just how the money obtained is used A large
amount of money is necessary to maintain the
Navy, which has been called upon to defend our
coast and our commerce from attack.
To put the Navy on war basis every ship in
reserve had to be fully manned and commissioned.
Many auxiliary vessels also had to be added
On April there were o4,o90 enlisted men; now
there are more than 10000. In addition, we have
enlisted more than $4,000 reserves and there are
10000 National Naval Volunteers in service
Contracts have been placed for every destroyer
and submarine chaser that the shipyards OF the
country build, and new records are expected
in construction. All this lis in addition to the
32OO0-ton batteships; the FIVE battle cruisers Of
IS 900 tons EACH the largest and swiftest war YES
sells ever built the six scout cruisers and many
auxiliary craft for which we have made contracts.
These will be built as early as possible, but the
right OF way in construction is being given de-
stroyers and small craft5y F2aa.
Since the day war was declared the Navy has
patrolled coasts. For coast defenses scores
of vessels have been secured--yachts, fishing YES
sells, fast motor boats, and other minor craft and
Others are being added to this force as rapidly as
possible. .-s,....'
The Navy has sent to France corps of aviators,
who arrived on June g. the first contingent OF the
regular armed forces of the United States to land
on French soil. The aeronautic corps has been
greatly enlarged, aviation bases established along
the coast, and officers and men trained in the oper
alton of seaplanes, dirgibe balloons, and other
types Of aircraft An additional appropriation Of
$45 100000 has been asked for aviation
About $S0,0O0,O0O is involved in the entire build

The Marine Corps has more than doubled in en-
listed strength since the war began. On April
there were in the corps 426 commissioned officers
and 1926 enlisted men. 1t now has more than
5000 enlisted men, only 1919 recruits being re-
quired to bring it up to its full authorized enlisted

Insuri,ig Soldiers and
Sailors


THAT nation owes much to its citizens who
have fought it's battles and to their families
when they have been killed or injured so as to
destroy or impair their capacity to provide for
their families has always been recognized by the
United States This just and generous policy OF
our country as administered under our pension
system has been unduly costly and has not always
been just One of the proposed uses of the pro-
ceeds of the Liberty Loan is to give life and in
demnity insurance to our soldiers and sailors and
to provide allowances to their dependent families
while they are in the ranks.
The plan worked out by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo and his coadjutors and approved by
the President has been embodied in a bill which
is expected to pass today in congress. AS to the
business and righteousness of this insurance OF our
lighting men Secretary McAdoo says:
Military service in the United States is obga-
tory; those who imperil themselves have no cleo
ton The insurance companies do not and can not
permit this to affect their calculations. They must
protect themselves by charging premiums so high
that they are secured against loss no matter how
severe the rate of mortality may be. Consequently
the very men who are called into the service be-
cause their physical condition is of the best and
who as civilians would for that reason be able to
secure the most favorable insurance rate in peace
tiIe are ueIlieQ as soldiers the necessary lie IN
surance to enable them to protect their families
and dependents The extra hazardous risks of war
puts insurance entirely beyond the reach of the
conscripted soldier. 49,.
The government which subjects these men to
this insurmountable discrimination should itself
supply insurance to soldiers at cost and upon the
peace basis. 1t would in fact be dastardy and un-
democratic it the government should penalize the
soldier who IS forced to render the highest duty
OF the citizen by failing to provide for him war
insurance upon peace terms and at net cost. The
pay of the enlisted men in the Army and Navy is
less than the wages and salaries generally earned
in private life and government insurance is an es-
sentia war and emergency measure inaugurated
for the specific benefit of our military forces and
can not and should not be conducted for profit.
This legislation will be great step forward in
the recognition OF the Republics duty to its heroes
lt;dest vss earnest and vigorous support of the
country {lhe United States should set the high
est example of all the nations in the treatment
of those who do and die for their country and for
world freedom"

FISH SLAUGHTER
THREATENS TO
SUPPLY
Many Thousands of AIaIaua
Caught During Past Week For
Sport and Great Numbers Are
Not Used For Food

Signs were not waiting last night
that the alalaua are not running as
strongly as has bsea the case during
the past week. TRS 1yhSryes were
again packed with dshermen, but the
strings caught were much smaller.
This is not to be wondered at, for the
fish have been pulled from the water as
fast as a hook could be thrown in, for
seven days and seven nights, and the
quantity caught has been enormous
One Portuguese angler, using a line
with six hooks on it, caught 1870 Of the
little red fish In one evening. -
1t is safe to say that 500 fishermen
have operated from the local wharveF
every day for the past week, and have
caught on an average fifty fish each Q
day. This would give total of us, 900
fish caught.
In great many cases it is feared
that the fish have been caught for the
mere sake of catching them, and with
no intention of using them for food

expensive fish in the local market, and
which never sells for less than two big

and Of fine flavor. When the fish is
cooked over a charcoal fire, its skin
comes off in one piece, and the natural
juices of the fish are preserved in the
cooking. -
The aweoweo affords fine sport on a
moonlight night, for they are bold
biters and take a bait near the surface.
When there are many aweoweo about
four or five lines may be in the water
at the same time and fish on one of

Just why the alalaua school in the

years is unknown. They probably come
into the protected water for refuge
