HOW! MONEY IS SPENT

Subscribersto the recent S2,000,000,- 900 issue of liberty bonds and intend ing subscribers to the second liberty loan are interested in knowing 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 ev- cry ship in reserve had to be fully man. ned and commissioned. Many auxil- iary vessels also had to be added.
 On April there were 64,6S0 enlist ed men: now there are more than 140,- o00 In addition, we have enlisted more than 35,O00 reserves and there are 10000 National Naval Volunteers in service.
 Contractshave been placed for every destroyer and submarine chaser that the sh,pyards of the country can build, i and new records are expected in con- struction. All this is ill addition to the 32,00-ton battleshipS; the five bat tie cruisers of 35,090 tons each, the largest and swiftest war vessels ever built; the six scout cruisers and many auxiliary craft for wlich we have made contracts. These will be built as early as possible, but the right of way in construction is being given to destroyers and small craft.
 l Since the day war was declared the i Navy has patrolled our own coasts. i For coast defenses scores of vessels have been secured-yachts, fishing vessels, fast motor boats, and other minor craft, and others are being add ed to this force as rapidly as possible. The Navy has sent to France corps of aviators, the first contingent of the regular armed forces of the United States to land on French soil The Aeronautic Corps has been great l ly enlarged, aviation bases established and officers and men trained in the op- | eIdIlOu Ol Scdplduc0, DdlOOio and other types of aircraft. An ad- ditional appropriation of $45,000,000 has been asked for aviation.
 About sS0,000,000 is involved in the entire building program in our navy yards training stations, submarine and aviation bases, the big storage warehouses we are building for nun itions and supplies, the new shops, Boundaries, shipways, the huge dry docks, and the various structures un- der way or provided for.
 The Marine Corps has more than doubled in enlisted strength since the war began. On April 6 there were in the corps 426 commissioned officers and 13266 enlisted men. It now has more than 2S,000 enlisted men, only 1,479 recruits being required to bring it up to it's full authorized enlisted strength of 30,000. A force of marines has been landed in France for service under Gen. Pershing, and the entire corps is eager for action.-Official Bull letin.
