The Cost of War.

The total expenses of the United States
government down to 1861 were about ST.
800,000,000 The four years of the civil
war cost $3,396,0O0,OO0 or nearly twice as
much. Total expenses up to June 80, 1916,
reached 100000, 900.
The cost of this war is appalling in com
parison. Last March, including loans to the
allies, we spent $1,155,964,0OO, or over
100000 day. This is as much as we
spent in the first five years of our national
life A weeks expenditures are nearly equal
to those for the % years up to 1912, a
months are greater than were those for the
first so years Of our history.

MORE CIVIC UNITY.

For the past few months there has been
manifest growing spirit of civic unity in
Dawson. The News has noted this tenden-
cy with pleasure, and the town is to be con-
graduated on the fact that petty spites and
personal squabbles are not now nearly so
apparent in the determination of matters of
public good as they have been in the past
OF course they exist to some degree yet,
and it is probable that they always will, be-
cause it is well nigh impossible to eliminate
personal selfshness and its brood of little
jealousies and animosities and ambitions
even when the largest stake of public well
minimum should be the goal, and Dawson
has gone far in that direction.
One of the factors which unquestionably
has contributed largely to this condition has
been the call for united service in support
of the war When the community is called
upon to do big things in big way and the
individual is striving to his utmost to meas
ure up to his part of the job when every
one realizes that the best in him is chal-
lenged, there is no time or place for person
al littleness or ACKNOWLEDGMENT. But anoth-
er factor, we believe, which has had no little
to do with promoting better spirit of pub
lie harmony is the Dawson Chamber of Com
merce. That Doing For Dawson" slogan,
merce. That Doing For Dawson" slogan
which has been adopted is being follow
ed with great deal of earnestness by some.
They mean it, and theirs has been conta-
gious spirit There may be some honest dis
agreements at times as to whether this or
that thing is best for the town, but the frank
and open discussion of public matter with
a sincere desire to reach the right determi-
nation, that kind of forum which the Cham
Der of Commerce has been responsible for
will ultimately lead to a more or less salts
factory degree of civic harmony and effort
The Chamber of Commerce is young yet,
and, as far as material accomplishments are
concerned, it has labored under considerable
The period through which we
are passing is not, and has not been, one
for any large expansion in the matter of
Improvements or industrial devel-
opment But the trade organization has ac-
complished some good things already in the
towns upbuilding. 1t would be a great mis-
take to guage the work of the body by how
many factories it has brought in or how
many dollars it has put into the individual
pocket. The main thing now is to keep the
organization alive and enthusiastic, to do
the things from day to day, however small
they may seem, which show to ourselves and
the outside world that we appreciate the
advantages we have down here in this gar
den spot of Southwest Georgia, and are de-
sirous of bringing them to the attention of
the whole country, to lay the foundation for
a bigger and better Dawson of the future.
By and by the time will come to tackle
few big things, and the fostering of the
united spirit will make us ready to go to the
job with the confidence and conviction that
we can and will do what we may strive for

Training Skilled L.ahorers.

An interesting wartime labor devel-
opment which will be of special impor-
lance during the time of reconstruct
ton after the war is the war depart
ment's plan to train 100000 national
army men in trades of special military
value. Already large numbers of these
men have undertaken the training
courses at schools and colleges-11O
in all-in every part of the United
States.
The training the men are receiving
is, of course, primarily to fit them for
effective work in France or in duty of
military Importance at home, but most
of the trades, if not all of them, in
fact, will have an important peace
time value as well. The problems Of
the reconstruction period cannot be
foreseen with any certainty now, but
the creation of this reserve of mechan-
ically trained men will no doubt be of
Importance in the reorganization of
industry on peace basis.

NO PROSPECT OF SEX WAR
Equal Pay for Equal Work viii BE
Solution OF Problem of Women
In Industry.

There Is no danger Of a "sex war;
in this country because of the employ
ment Of women in industry, the Young
WOmen's Christian association war
work council announced.
"The national war labor board"
said a report Of the council, "has
stood squarely for the proposition of
equal pay for equal work, and it's first
step in this direction was with the
General Electric company at Pitts
field, Mass, where equal conditions for
men and women now prevail"
The board has appointed Miss Mar
garet Dismore, especially released
from the British Labor ministry by
Premier Lloyd George for this pur-
pose, it was announced. Miss Dismore
will have charge of corps of inves-
tigators who are cooperating with Y.
w. G. A. officials in the supervision of
women in industry, and officials at
Washington state that the equal pay
principle will eliminate any POSSIBLE
ity of so-called "sex war"
"The big problem today" said a
Y. w. G. A. war council. official, sis
not any problem of sex war, but to
place woman in industry so that they
can release fighting men for the provost
marshal general and the department of
labor. American men and women have
no time to think of any sex vars"

Momen,s Work Limited.

There are 626,00O women employed
In all branches of industry In France
according to an official report made
recently. The number employed In
normal times is $4,000 the increase,
being due almost entirely to the en-
p,oyment of women In metal INDUSTRIES
chiefly in munition works. In these,
factories the weight which women can,
be required to carry In working Is
limited according to law to 55 pounds

RULE AGAINST GIRL MINERS
State of Wisconsin Also Will Not Let
Women Work on the Street
Cars After Dark.

Two important developments regard
ing work in which women may engage
have just become known to the depart
rent Of labor. A protest by organized
miners at the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
ton company resulted In orders from
The state mining department that girls
must not be employed as breakers in
the mines, and accordingly all girls
formerly employed there have been
discharged.
In Wisconsin, the Industrial commits
sion has ruled that women may not
work ON street cars as conductors or
motormen at night, or for more than
eight hours. The commission expressed
the view that such employment would
be detrimental to the health Of the
women, and consequently to the detri-
ment of future generations.

100000 forms of all kinds, weighing
100000 pounds, and measuring, in the
aggregate, 88,787 cubic feet. A total
Of $4,000 mail sacks were used to carry
this vast quantity of matter. The
largest number Of sacks shipped in a
single day was 1928. These weighed
about SO tons.

AS the result Of an investigation by
the war department, following the
failure Of the medical department to
obtain a supply Of clinical thermome-
ters except at what were considered
exorbttant prices, the general staff has
ordered is manufacturers tn different
parts of the country to furnish about
668,000 Of the instruments, which are
urgently needed here and abroad.
Under these orders the war depart
ment will not only take the entire
stock Of clinical thermometers now
manufactured, but will require the fac
tories to produce In large quantities
for 20 weeks. The compulsory order
specifies that the entire quantity must
be delivered by February TO- 1919.
The price Of clinical thermometers
has advanced In the past year from %
cents and 80 cents to 30 cents and so
cents each. The investigations Of the
military authorities disclosed a combi-
nation between the glass !, e. SesssseE s and
tha-makers Of Thermometers.
The prices to be paid by the gov
eminent for the 668,000 thermometers
which have been requisitioned will be
fixed by the war department board of
appraisers.
