PAYMENT Of War Debts.

There is no uniform rule of action
regarding the payment of war debts.
A so called war debt may be as bind
ing in honor as a debt contracted In
time Of peace and some features OF a
war debt may justly have preference
over others. Some war debts have
been entirely paid off and others have
been greatly reduced. In 1898, follow
ing the revolutionary war, the public
debt of the United States was $780,
352,634 1t was reduced year by year
until 1872, when it was 45,209,737.
During the war Of 1912 it increased till
1916, when it was $127,334.933. Then
followed long period of steady reduc-
lions till in 1885 it stood at the nomi-
nal figure of $37,513 with much more
than that balance in the treasury.
President Jackson, in his annual mes
sage of1s35, referred to this as 1.-THE
extiction of the public debt" and said,
9Th econdition Of the public finances
was never more flattering than at the
present period" This was true and the
youngest Of nations had set noble
precedent of extinguishing a public
debt.
Circumstances brought long period
or growth IN the puDHc oepI iii III
1866, following the civil war, it was ST.
773,236,173. Since then there have been
periods Of reduction and periods of in
crease, the last report, June l, 1917,
showing the Understanding debt as
81, 691, 562,250. Germany has not at
tempted to place loan in this country.
Who will pay tn edebts now being Gre
ated is question for the future. as the
powers that win probably will exact
indemnities from those that lose.

San Francisco.-German aliens in
termed on Angel Island here have
been refused permission to continue
using signal flags for amusement
purposes through an order issued by
the commandment of the island.
1t was declared the action was ia
ken as the result Of investigations
conducted by the Department of JUS
tice agents after they had disman-
tied two arc lights, mounted on poles
surnounting two tall trees on the
summit of Redwood Peak, in Alamo
da county. Investigation was made
into reports that men were seen on
Angel Island wigwagging toward the
Alameda county shore and it was
thought the Department of Justice
agents connected the signals from
the island with the arc lights.

KENTUCKY WOMEN ARE
RESPONDING TO APPEAL
FOR FOOD CONSERVATION

Washington.-Wher "war gar
dens' are flourishing successfully
and the prices Of perishable fruits
and vegetables are reasonable, house
wives will help themselves and the
Nation by starting at once to can,
preserve, pickle and dry.
Telegraphic reports coming to the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture from Kentucky reveal that
there are large SURPRISES of certain
perishable fruits and vegetables
which will go to waste unless ener-
getic measures are taken to conserve
them. If these products are not
bought and conserved now. they will
deteriorate. Both common sense and
patriotism who are looking ahead,
cooperate with the Emergency Food
Conservation Campaign of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
That the women of Kentucky have
responded promptly to President
Wilson's appeal to secure "nothing
short of the perfection of organiza-
ton" in order to cope with this sit
uation, is indicated by reports COM
ing daily to Washington.
"The producers have responded
promptly to the appeal issued by the
President at the beginning of the
war. and Nature has been bountiful,"
declared Secretary of Agriculture
Houston. "The time has come for us,
as consumers and conservers. to do
our share"

u. S. DESTROYERS

American Naval Base in British

shot-typical of the behavior of sub

CABBAGE POURS ONTO
MARKET; "PICKLE IT."
GOVERNMENT PLEADS

Washington.-The rainy spell has
resulted in such an enormous cab
bage crop that the Agriculture De-
partment has issued an appeal for
the making Of sauer kraut in large
quantities in the interest of conseva-
ton.
The departments reports indicate
that cabbages have come into the
great market centers in the last few
days in unprecedented lots, and that
thousands of heads are about to rot
in cars and on wharves. The Gov
ernment's food experts say sauer
kraut can be made with little labor
from fresh cabbage producing food
endorsed as healthful and appetizing.

The tanker was twice attacked. In
the first, early in the voyage, she
easily beat off the submarine and
reached a point 400 miles toward
America. She was then attacked by
another submarine. the shells Of
which, despite the stout resistance Of
the tanker's gunners, shattered the

DRAFT BRIDE LIABLE
TO PROSECUTION
Women Who Wed to Help nus-
bands Evade Call to CoIors
Guilty as "Slackers."

Washington.-Wom who marry
men merely to help them to be
"slackers" are liable to criminal pros
ecution, Provost Marshal General
Crowder has ruled.
News Of this decision was received
with a considerable jolt in many ci-
ties where the marriage license
clerks have been kept busy the last
week issuing licenses to men of draft
age who are liable on the first call to
the colors.
Hasty. marriages made since July

ing, in an effort to escape conscrip-
ton through the claim of a depend
ent wife. will /. not be considered
ground for discharge unless the wife
is actually dependent on the hus-
bands daily labor.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
ruled that marriage is not of itself
valid ground for making claim for
discharge"
Dependency is a matter of fact,
not of law, Gen. Crowder pointed out.
"a man whose wife is mainly de-
pendent on his daily labor for sup
port" he said, "may claim exemp-
tons on that ground. Only the ex-
emption boards can determine this
fact. Where dependency is claimed
and circumstances show a marriage
hastily consummated since July 81 by
a man whose number is high on the
available list, the actual fact of de-
tendency must be closely scruti-
nized."
In his ruling, Gen. Crowder adher-
ID strictly to President Wilson's
lraft regulations which draw no dis
,inction between a dependent wife ac-
luired before or after drawing. Sec
'etary Baker, however, advocated re-
using exemption to any man marri-
ID after the drawing. saying the
lraft should be a prior claim, but
his course will not be followed.
Fears of some officials that delay
n obtaining materials and sufficient
abor for national army environments
would postpone the mobilization long
,ast September 1 were dissipated by
IN announcement by Secretary Ba-
;erthat seventy-eight per cent of the
materials now are on the
ground, and that reports indicate ev-
,rything will be in readiness, or
learly so. in another month.

GASOLINE AND THE FOOL.

A. few days ago gasoline which
was being used as a cleaner was
poured into boiling water and an ex-
plosion resulted. A few DAYS later
one man was cleaning an automobile
with gasoline while another was
scraping dirt and oil off Of the ma
chine with knife. The knife blade
touched a live wire of the starting
system. The spark set off the gaso-
line and the automobile was damaged
to the extent of $500 by fire. These
illustrations of the highly inflamma-
BILE nature of gasoline should be suf-
ficient to warn anyone of the danger
that attends handling gasoline in the
vicinity of fire, yet the spectacle of
the smart boy of the street-filling
station smoking a sigarette while de-
livering gasoline into an automobile
tank is common.
The vapor from gasoline may
cause an explosion, communicating
with the fluid, if the breeze blows it
into contact with fire, but the smart
boy with the cigarette could not fore
go the pleasure of smoking while fill
ing the tank. 1t would be beneath
his dignity to appear afraid of gaso-
line in proximity to cigarettes. He
would rather risk murder and sui
eide than suspend his smoking while
he is engaged in handling gasoline.
Now and again a fire occurs as
result of smoking where gasoline is
exposed. Oftener, of course, the
risk is taken without a fire or trag-
edy resulting. That the chances
against catastrophe are twenty to
one, or 100 to one, does not lessen the
degree of the criminal negligence, or
criminal smartalexship, of the smart
young man who would not think of
showing the white feather by throw
ing away his cigarette before turn

SEEK COMFORT FOR
PeRSHING'S sAMMIES
Housing Of American Troops In
Frauce Under Way-To
Have Club Houses.
{ By Daniel Dillon.)

Headquarters Of the American Ex-
peditionary Force in France.-Maj
Gen. Sibert, the American comman-
der, already is occupying himself
with the problem of housing the
American troops comfortably and
warmly during the coming winter.
Conditions in France are radically
different from those in the United
States, and the American commander
is devising ways and means of effect
ing happy medium.
The French homes in which the
"Sammies" are billeted invariably
are not heated and in many cases
during the cold season the horses of
the farming people and flocks Of
chickens are kept indoors. Further
more, the French people allow for lit
tie or no ventilation. The French
and British soldiers have found
way to keep themselves happy in the
winter months. They sleep in the
hay of the various buildings and in
that way keep warm and at the same
time furnish themselves with enough
air.
The Americans, on the other hand,
desire better living conditions and
intend to do everything to achieve
them.
The plans as now contemplated
provide the construction of fran club
buildings for each company of an
American regiment, these places to
afford means for lounging, general
recreation and amusements. The
buildings are to be well heated.
Fee II is believed the buildings will fur
nish the desired solution. 1t is point
ed out that during the day the men
will be actively working and in this
way will keep warm and healthy. !
The whole trouble will present itself
when the "Sammies" are off duty,
but it is hoped that conditions will be
satisfied by the erection of the frame
structures.
Unpleasant quartering, military |
officials point out, leads to brooding,
with consequent low spirits and an
impairment of morale. The troops,
instead of being thrown on their own
resources in seeking diversion, could
use the club houses until the bed
hour. Then the provision of plenty |
of blankets would make for comfort
able sleeping.
The various American companies
have organized their baseball teams
and a number of games between
these teams have been scheduled. The
men are taking a keen interest in the
work of their company organizations
and much rivalry is displayed.
Mail from the United States is ar
irving steadily and the amounts that
are going out are very heavy. The
folks at home are not being stinted
in the matter of correspondence.
