IN 14O DAYS OF WAR j. S.
HAS PAID S2,387, 490,O86
Expenditures During August
Average More Than $24r-
100000 Every "a Hours

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-War eX-
penditures of the United States, includ-
ing allied loans, have amounted during
August to more than S24,000,000 every
twenty-four hours. The figures minus
500, 000,00 just loaned to Russia, are
contained in the treasury statement
just issued.
Two-thirds of the great sum is rep
resented by advances to the allies. The
United States has been spending Gaily
during August for its own needs an
average of $S.0S8,652. The allies have
been receiving an average daily allow
ance of $16.375, 900. including cash al
ready paid and the new Russian credit
which will be paid shortly. The total
daily expenditures during August thus
reaches $24,463,652
Since war was declared 140 days ago
the treasury has paid out total of
$2,3S7,49 of which $1,63O,5OO,OOO
has been advanced to the entente gov
ernments The average daily disburse-
ments during. the period of the war has
been S17053500 The average daily
payment to the allies during the l4O
days period has been $11,650,OOO, the
remaining s5,4O3,5O0 representing the
war expenditures for the American
army and navy.
The total of $3.50, 10000 advanced
the allies thus far is less by $425.9OO.-
600 than the total authorized credits
which, with the new Russian loan, ag-
gregate $2,066, 100000, or more than
the entire proceeds of the first issue
of the Liberty Loan. The remaining
S425, 100000 is subject to the entente
governments checks upon the Amerl-
can treasury, under certain condl''
agreed upon at the time the credlts
vera authorized.
The cost of raising and maintaining
the American army and of increasing
the naval forces and maintaining the
naval establishment has risen from the
comparatively small amount expended
at the time war was declared to the
present tremendous daily average, and
is not yet fairly under way.
The allies, too are needing and re-
ceiving more money than was paid them
during the first month or so or war. Dur
ing the first eighty-ive days OF war
ending June 80 with the fiscal year, the
United States advanced the allies $685.
nOO. 900. This was an average of $1O,-
500, 900 a day. Since June 80 advances
have totaled $745, 1000, 900 and have been
at the rate of $13,500,000 daily. These
figures represent actual cash paid, ana
do not include moneys on deposit in the
treasury awaiting withdrawal by entente
governments.
The United States has paid out for ITS
own needs since 1t entered the war
s776. 99O.OS6, of which $741,156,765 was
spent in military and naval admins
trative functions.
AT the present time the government
is spending a sum estimated at from
5000. 900 to $6,O0O,o0O daily above the
current receipts from ordinary sources.
The $4,000, 100000 Liberty Loan, OF
which approximately $3OO,OO0.OOo yet is
to be paid in by subscribers, and the

edness in anticipation of the next BOND

Gerard Says Germany
Didn't GIVE a Dam
About Labor S Support

CHICAGO. ug. 24.-Germany's con-
scription of wealth was a success-as
far as 1T went.
This was the view expressed here to-
day by James w. Gerard, former ambas-
sador to Germany.
Gerard explained that Germany's con-
scription of wealth was a SO per cent
tax on all war profits. He declared.
however. that this did not fully take
care of the burden of war expenses. The
heaviest burden, he said, was taken up
by the war loan Of 10000. o00, 900 marks.
The government did not give a darn
about labor support" he said, when
asked if the tax on wealth helped
strengthen labor's support Of the war.
They just conscripted them and shot
them at the front. German labor has
always been against the war"
Gerard declared there was no increase
in the income tax in Germany.

President wilson's order naming 14S

Junior officers graduation from train
ing camps. it turns the United States
into a real military power.
Germany thought we were bluffing.
called us. and finds We hold the hand.
When We went to war our total armed
forces were 332.0 900 men. Today we
have $4,000. And we have trained the
men who will train the next million.
America has performed the most gil
gantic feat of military preparedness in
history. 1t has made strides believed
impossible i'm putting effective force
against the Teutons.
In April the regular army consisted
of 1914 officers and men; officers re-
serve corps. 1000; the national guard.
1866; the navy. $4,000; the marine
corps. $1,000, and there were less than
10000 navai militiamen. The total
forces numbered $4,000.
The regular army and the national
guard were ordered recruited to war
strength-the army to $4,000 men. the
guard TO 329,954. a total OF 622.954.
The regulars reached their quota in
August. having added 131,4S1 men in
four months The national guard, mus
tered into federal service August 5,
numbered approximately 100000 men,
and recruiting continues i'm organiza-
tionS not filled.
The navy. finally ordered to recruit
up to $4,000. and the marine corps.
5000 to 10000 men. completed their
quotas.
Five months after the declaration of
war. therefore. approximately $4,000
Sol nr all dar
arms.
More than one-third of the $4,000
men in the first quota of the new ma
tional army have been passed. Before
October all will be in camp. The men
who will train them have been selected
in officers training camps.
Pershing in the 1918 spring drive can
have 473.000 thoroughly trained and
equipped men. BY the end of March
the national army will have completed
six months training. British infantry
men now go to France after sixteen
weeks training. are tested eight days
and sent TO the trenches.
II the allies require, we can throw
into battle 500, 900 additional troops the
end OF March-every one trained more
than six months million fully trained
men for the next big offensive.
April 81. 1917. the war department an
nounced ii had ample supplies for $780,
600. with the exception Of heavy ord
nance and machine guns. These de-
iciencies have been met. BY the end of
November the first increment of the ma
tionaI army will be equipped The rife
supply problem has been solved.

HOUSTON QUIET AFTER
.R|OT|NG OF NEGRO TROOPS
Martial Law to Be Lifted,
Grand Jury IndiCtS Thir-
ty-Four Negroes

HOUSTON. Texas, Aug. 25.-The de-
parture Of the rioting negroes OF the
Twenty-Fourth infantry for Columbus
y. NJ, and the announcement that mar
tial law will be lifted here tomorrow
combined tonight to dissipate the ten
sion which has invested this city since
the events of Thursday night
Evidence of the intention of the local
officials not to let the matter drop with
the departure of the negro troops was
shown in the action of the grand jury
of Harris county today which, follow
ing the announcement that thirty-four
negroes held in Jail had been turned
over to the military, returned murder
indictments against the thirty-four and
six others who had not been arrested.
County officials expressed resentment
that the men should have been taken
from their authority.
The fact that they were removed to
Columbus does not mean that we will
not ultimately take a hand in the pun
Of the negro soldiers, said
District Attorney John H. Crooker.
I'm my opinion the court-martial
which will be given by the military au-
thorities does not abrogate the right to
trial by the civil authorities Those
that escape punishment in the military
court will be prosecuted in the courts
of Harris county.
A feeling of relief mingled with sad
ness swayed the crowds lin downtown
Houston today. There was relief that
the tragedy had passed without any
darkening sequel and sadness because
every hour brought grim reminder OF
Thursday nights horror in the passage
of funeral corteges.
Indications are that there will be no
more deaths as the result of the shoot
ing and the list will stand at seventeen
dead and twenty-one wounded. Two
victims lost arms by amputation and
a third will suffer loss of leg.
Colonel George o. Cress, inspector gen.
eral of the Southern department, arrived
today from San Antonio and began To
collect data on the rioting. He held
conferences today with local officials and
with General i A. Hulen, of the Texas
national guard. District Attorney John
