Uncle Sam Shows He's Not
Worried About High Cost
of Living.

That Uncle Sam does not care two
pins about the cost of living when
he goes. to war is attested by the
mountains of foodstuffs issued to the
District national guardsmen now en-
camped at Fort Myer.
Like everybody else Uncle Sam is
feeling the pinch of the high cost
of living, but he doesn't cut down
on rations. The financial allowance
per soldier is enlarged, the same
quantity of food being allowed ire
spective Of price. In December the
daily allowance per man was zi.54
cents Now 1t is 1855.

catsup, and even chicken.
Still without anw definite idea as
to what service they will be called
upon to perform. but ready to do their
bit the guardsmen labored hard to-
day to get settled in camp.
That the camp is about ready as
domicile was proved when a score or
more dogs annexed themselves to
the various companies as mascots.
Company commanders announced
today that provost guards would be
sent TO Washington to arrest the
members of their organizations who
have not yet reported at the camp.

He was the FIRST 'man appointed

NEW YORK, April 1O.-Union Hill
Park in North Bergen, N. J., exten-

best rife ranges in the country, has
been offered to the War Department
by ninety-six German societies in
New York and vicinity, which owns
IL. The park has been the scene of
several international shoots.
The offer called attention to the
size of the park and it's availability
as a concentration camp. and also to
the practicability Of recruits using
the rife range. 1t has been owned by
the German societies for more than
forty years.

ASK $S,OOO,OOO,OOO
WAR BABY BONDS
,.Vashington's Bankers Suggest
Means and Methods of
Financing Warfare.

Unonimous approval of the pro-
posaI by the Government TO extend a
$4,000, 600, 900 credit to the allies, in
addition to raising $4,000. 100000 for
carrying out the United States pre-
psredness program, was expressed by
Washington bankers today.
Although difference of opinion
exists as to whether the S5,OOO,0OO,-
600 bond issue should be attempted
at once, or in instalments extending
through a year or more. all are
agreed the rate of interest should
he sufficiently high to make the
bonds attractive as compared with
other issues. Opinion is unanimous
also that Washington banks will sub
scribe generously to the issue. what
ever the interest rate may be. No
doubt exists in the minds of local
bankers that banks here will absorb
a proportion of the bonds that will
compare favorably with the amounts
taEen in other cities.
Bell Expresses Confidence.
Charles J. Bell. president of the
American Security and Trust Com
pany, thinks there is no doubt the
country will be able to absorb the
entire ive billions without hardship,
but said II would be advisable to
float the issue in installments. Two
billions now, Mr.. Bell thinks, and
the remainder three billions in in
stallments OF cne billion each three
months, could be taken care of with
out shock to the countrys financial
machinery
Mr.. Bell thinks the rate of interest
should be about 81 per cent, and
that the denomination OF the notes
should be small to encourage small
Investments. All banks will sub
scribe, Mr.. Bell thinks, and Washing
ton banks may be relied upon to take
their proportionate share.
Il am heartily in favor of extend
ing liberal credits to the allies" Mr..
Fell declared, "and it should be done
promptly. The more aid we extend
TO the allies just at this Hme in a
financial way, the sooner will we see
peace restored. This is true not only
because OF the marked effect such
sction oneour part would have in

advance OF 5000. .OOO.O at once, and
make the rate of interest as low as
we can. The loan, l am sure, would
go at 8 per cent II that is not feas'
ible, then make the rate 3h per cent

$40 and upward. II the interest on
this should involve the payment OF
a half cent, very good, we should re-
coin the half cent.
"It might serve many good pur'
poses in these days OF high costs. Let
everybody have his chance to advance
his bit and this we can do by making
the smallest bond a war baby bond OF
$40. This would popularize the issue
among all the people, young and old,
rich and poor"
