High Cost Of The War.

Speaking OF the staggering cost Of
this war, Frank A. Vanderlip, the
big New York banker, who gave
mp his business and is serving the
United States Government for a
salary OF one dollar a year said:
when we thought back
through the first forty years
OF our national life and
found that we had only spent ST.
600, 900, 900 for every purpose, for
every national use in those forty
years; when we counted on further
and saw that down thru the whole
l26 years Of our existence to the
beginning of this year, thru every
war, for every purpose Of peace, We
had expended a total of only $26,
800, 100000 and saw that we were
called upon to expend $4,000.
600, 900, in year, we began to
have a money measure of what We
were asked to do"

Our German friends have in times
gone by found much amusement in
sneertng at American diplomacy. We
wonder what they will say about our
shirt sleeves secret service. The
recent disclosures Of Won Bernstcrff'a
work in this country offer very good
evidence that the American detective
is far from being the "rube" that our
foreign critics would have US believe.
We cannot conceive more interesting
war serial than the full story as to
how this evidence was obtained. There
is no better detective than first class
reporter and the work of the Provi-
dence Journal before our war began
should have had larger effcc; in
preparing the public mind for all that
has followed. Secret codes we're
found, our secret service peop'e Were
placed in the German ambassadors
household and goodness knows what
all was done to further this important.
work. A great deal remains to be told
but with very fresh disclosure there
should be a diminishing number Of
conscientious DIRECTORS to the war.

put to him at the time were the daily

He smiled a sickly smile and said:
You ought to stand at this window

utter disregard and disinterest women
have in acquiring the simple and most
necessary rudiments of business meth

Il know women who have been COM

The points were we'll considered by
this clcrk. After some inquiry | found
that there are few schools where the
simplest forms of bookkeeping and
business elements are made compu!-
sorry. They arc usually selective
courses.
Therein lies the reason for the ig-
norance of hundreds of girl gradu-
ates complained of by employers every
day. They are allowed to choose be-
tween these common business courses
and those of languages and other
similar studies.
Many of them quit school unable to
make out a simple check and do not
even know, the debit from the credit
side of the ledger. nor even how a
receipt or bill should be written.
1t Is certainly a question for the
elders. No matter if girl is not pre-
pairing for commercial work she should
know common business transactions
that prepare her for life itself.
Without this. women are prone to
get into all kinds of pitfalls in making
common contracts and signing various
kinds of papers. ~.

gan another.

At this point she broke down and
cried--of course. One can't write
about ones awful sacrifices without
feeling much worse the moment one
sees the words upon paper. That's a
fixed psychological law. But by and
by she wiped her eyes. She wasn't a
coward. and she felt that the words
were cowardly. She tried again.
