WAR COSTS AMERICA
$24,OOO,OOO A DAY
NATION HAS SPENT SEVEN MIL.
LION IN TEN MONTHS. HALF
WENT TO THE ALLIES.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Ten
months of war have cost the United
States about $1,000 OO,OOO-at the
rate of $71O,OOO,OO0 a month, near
ly $24,OOO,OOO a day.
More than half of this huge sum,
or $4,121,O 100000, has been paid as
loans to the allies, and the balance,
about $3,000,O00,000, represents
Americas outlay for its own war
purposes, exclusive of more than
$6O0,000,000 for ordinary govern
mental expenses.
The wars toll in money is increas-
ing at the rate of more than $780,
100000 a month, and indications
now are that the two remaining
month of the nations first year as
a belligerent will run its war bill to
nearly $10,000,000,000 of which S.
OOO,O0O,000 will be for allied loans
and about the same amount for the
army, navy and other war agencies.

BABIES OF NATION
WILL Be EXAMINED
A CHILDREN'S BUREAU WILL
SEEK TO SAVE INFANTS.
PLAN TO CURE DISEASES

Americas first anniversary in the
great war will be made the inaugu-
ration date of "children's year." I'M
der plans announced by the chill
dren's bureau for the saving of
100000 lives ordinarily sacrificed
each year to infant diseases. The
physical examinations will be the
most comprehensive stock taking of
human resources ever attempted for
the purpose of conserving human
life, and will include registration of
the height, weight and other meas
urements of 100000 children I'M
der five years of age. The findings
will afford a fair standard on which
to judge how the American re-
serve" compares with that of other
countries.
Army examinations have revealed
that defects found in the young men
of the nation are largely attributable
to ailments which might have been
cured in infancy. 1t is to prevent
this wastage, as well as early deaths,
that the government is taking UP the
work among infants.
How the Plan Will Operate.
The children's bureau will be op-
Grated with the assistance of the
women's committee of the Council of
National Defense, headed by DR.. An
ma Howard Shaw, and by various
state councils and women's organiza-
TONS. Cards will be supplied and
trained nurses and physicians will
make examinations. One-half of the
card will be given the parents and
the other half will be sent to Wash
ingtOn
The general plan calls for the i'm
mediate registration of every child
born so that medical skill and nurs-
ing may be provided wherever family
income does not permit this being
secured independently. For every
mother prenatal care, and the nee
essary services of a doctor and a
public health nurse in confinement
will be provided every mother. Chill
dren's conferences will be held to
enable parents to have their children
weighed and examined periodically.

BLANKET POWER IS
ASKED BY PRESIDENT
SECRETARY BAKER COULDN'T
TELL ABOUT SHIPS NEEDED
WILSON GIVES SURPRISE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Almost
coincident with Secretary Bakers
Temperance before the senate mil
itary committee today for cross-ex-
animation upon his recent statement
of what America is going to do in
the war, the administrations an
sWer to congressional agitation for
a war cabinet and munitions direc-
tor was given by introduction in the
senate of a bill transmitted by Pres
ident Wilson which would give the
president blanket authority to reor-
ganize and coordinate all federal
departments, bureaus, agencies, of
ficials and personnel.
The new measure was taken to the
capitol by personal representative
of the president and introduced by
Senator Overman.
Wilson's Action a Surprise.
There has been no intimation so
far of any specific action under the
bill the president has in mind, nor
of how quickly the measure is to be
pressed for passage.
The introduction of the Overman
bill came as a surprise and promises
to change entirely the character of
the controversy over war machinery
e + a n z alton. Administration
spokesman who, in view of the pres
idents statement last week that he
desired agitation over the military
committees bill to cease, were pre-
pared to check discussion as far as
possible.
'lf the Overman bill is passed we
may as well make President Wilson
king" said Senator Reed Smoot,
of Utah.
Baker Laments Misfortune"
The military committee did not
get far with its examination of Mr..
Baker, although he was questioned
for three hours. because he demurr-
ed at telling in open session the basis
for his assertion that the prospects
were not unpromising for enough
ships to put a million and a half
American soldiers in France this
year. After much discussion, during
which Senator Hitchcock, who has
termed the secretary's statement
wildly exaggerated and preposter-
ous," insisted upon an answer to his
question, the committee agreed that
the information should be given in
secret session, and Mr.. Baker prom
ised to prepare a statement for the
purpose.
Secretary Baker did say, however,
that probably the form of his origi-
nal statement to the committee,
which has been made the basis of at
tack, was unfortunate in that it eX-
pressed his general opinion of a
general situation rather than the ex-
act statement of experts dealing in
details. at was misfortune for me
to do that" the secretary said.
A Storm of Opposition.
The Overman bill, sponsored byI
the president himself, met with a
storm of opposition today.
Democratic senators, including
Senator Martin, the majority lead
err, joined with many others in de-
nomcing the measure. Republican
senators declared its passage would
mean the complete abdication of all
authority of congress.
Prediction was made in some quar-
ters that the measure would never
emerge from the senate judiciary
committee, to which it was referred
Immediately after its introduction
