WHAT 1T COSTS TO PRODUCE A
SOLDIER FOR AMERICAN ARMY
Minimum Cost Per Capita is S142.
While Highest is S1S2
lBy John c. Mellett.)

Washington. 1t costs more TO
make a soldier in some parts OF the
United States than it does in others
This may sound queer to the lay
Sam buys supplies at uniform prices
for all parts of the country. and pays
the same salaries everywhere, SOL
diers should cost no more in one reg
ion than in another.
The highest per capita cost in
turning out soldiers is S1S2. You'd
never guess where this price obtains.
New York. your choice Guess again.
Michigan and Massachusetts. with
Camps Custer and Devens respective
ly in the national army. are tied at
the high mark.
1t is cheapest at American Lake.
Wash, where Uncle Sans soldiers
cost him only Sl42 each.
Here is the way the l6 canton
ments rank per capita cost for sol
diers. from lowest to highest:
Camp Lewis. American Lake.
Wash. $142.
Camp Lee. Petersburg. Va. STAG.
Camp Taylor. Louisville. Ky. STAG.
Camp Gordon. Atlanta. Ga. STAG.
Camp Pike. Little Rock. Ark. 1851.
Camp Funston. Fort Riley. Kas.,

No specific effort was made to ex-
plain the difference in the per capita
cost of the new soldiers, but other
figures submitted clear the mystery
Many of the set expenses are identi-
cal the country over. but others vary
widely.
No great difference is seen in reg
ular supplies. barracks and quarters
shooting ranges and clothing Bui
in such items as water and sewers
where in the topography of the coun-
try about the cantonment is an i'm.
portant factor, there is a wide vari
ance. Again. in the case of roads
wharves, walks and drainage there
is big range.
In the case of hospitals to he con
structed or repeated. there is grea
diversity. Camp Funston, at For
Riley, found hospitals in good condi
ton and required very small expen
diture. comparatively. The same wa,
true of Camp Gordon. at Atlanta.

Concerning German intrigue in

to the present it has not thought it
wise to make public.
President Wilson today continued
conferences with his advisors pre-
paratory to writing the address he
will deliver to Congress next week.
The administration is said to be
chiefly concerned at present with
the form of action to be taken by
Congress recognizing that Germany
is making war on the United States,
and with preparedness measures.
Aggressive steps, while being consl-

be looked upon as questions for de-

SHIPBUILDER BICKFONR AN
RIVES
CHICAGO Contractor Here Looking
Over Local Shipyard Sites

Mr.. John A. Bickford of Chicago,
contracting shipbuilder arrived in
Morgan City this morning and is
looking over local territory for a
suitable site on Which to build ships.
The morning was spent by Mr.

and Canning Factory. This after.
noon was spent by Mr.. Bickford in
looking over sites offered in Ber.
wick. Tomorrow he win be taken or
the Delphine to the mouth Of the
Atchafalaya to view the channel
facilities. Before his departure Mr.
Bickford will have in hand all of the
business propositions covering trans
fer Of the sites offered.
Mr.. Bickford's shipbuilding con-
tracts include the building of two
large ocean-going vessels of 43O0
tons dead weight capacity. Their
draft in ballast will be over twenty
feet. He will require water front
for operations of 1900 feet Hhis
operations will require upward of
