SURPRISE FOR HUN CAPTIVES

With the American Expeditionary
Forces in France.-The saddest men
in Northern France today are the
boche inmates of a French prison
camp back of the Aemrican lines and
facing a road which for the last four
days was filled with American sol
diers being shifted in accordance with
the plans for their participation in the
struggle to the west. It was the first
time the Americans used this particu-
lar road in force and the first time the
boche prisoners had chance toNSight
the boys in brown who have come to
France to help end the kaiser's reign
of terror, and they are impressed and
depressed.
Some of them had been captured
within the last 20 days. They said
they had been told not to fear the
Americans, because the U-boats would
never permit them to get to France.
They expressed the greatest concern
as they watched the long khaki lines
of infantry and field artillery, and
wanted to know how many Americans
were in France and how many more
were coming,

Your Bond Buys Explosives.

Many farmers here in America have

In France today our sons are having
the stuff hurled at them every minute
Of the day and night with an occasion

strangle to death and they don't dare

The face over there, we can do no more
than look the issue squarely in the

FIRST YEAR OF WAR
COST S9,O00,000,0OO
MORE THAN HALF LOANED TO
ALLIES, AND WILL EVENT
UALLY BE PAID BACK.
OVER ONE-THIRD FOR ARMY
Expenditures Were Only Two-thirds
Of Estimates Made by Officials.
Now Spending Nearly a
Billion Month.

Washington.-Nine billion dollars
is the approximate cost to the United
States for the first year of war.
More than one-half has gone in loans
to allies and will be repaid eventually;
over one-third has been spent for the
army and military establishment; one
tenth for the navy and one-fifteenth
for shipbuilding.
Just one-sixth of this big war cost
has been raised by taxation and other
ordinary sources of revenue, and the
balance has come from sales of Lib
erty bonds and certificates of indebt-
edness.
Enormous as these war expendi-
lures may seem to country whose
government in peace times costs be.
tween $700,000,O0O and $S00,000,000
they are less than Great Britain's and
are only about two-thirds Of estimates
made by officials less than year ago.
Slow progress of the shipbuilding pro-
gram and the retarding of the outpour-
ing of war supplies are regarded by
officials as the chief reasons why ex-
penses did not equal estimates.
Government expenses now are rum
ming about billion dollars a month,
with somewhat less than half going to
allies, who spend the greater part Of
their loans for war supplies in this
country.
Since the declaration of war, April
6, 1917, the governments actual ex-
penditures have been more than 49,
80O,OO0,O00, but about $SO0,OO0,000 Of
this sum would have been spent for
normal activities even if the United
States had not entered the war.
Ordinary expenditures, under which
the treasury classifies all OUTLAWS for
operation Of the government machin-
cry and war enterprises, since the dec
laration of war, have been approx
mately $5,0S4, 100000. Actual pay
ments to allies amounted to about $4,.
743,000,OOO.
Financial experts of the government
calculate that the war has cost in dol
lars even more than the formal treas
ury figures show, on account of in
creased expenditures Of many state
and local governments under war con.
ditions. They do not venture to esti"
mate the aggregate Of these expendi-
lures, however. On the other hand,
the war has resulted in innumerable
economies, public, private and person
al, enforced partly by rising costs and
partly by organized economy move
ments

INTERN ARMY INTERPRETER
Enemy Alien Discovered With PERISH

Internment Camp.

Hoboken, N. 1.-THE enforced re-

enemy alien who had succeeded in
becoming interpreter at the head

The internment of Won Setback was

States for 10 years and for Z years
of that time he had been in the United

German, English, French and Spanish.
The dismissed soldier was sent to

WHO FIGHTS AT HOMER SAY Il!
(By ROLAND c. USHER, of the Wig
lIantes,)

We cannot fight a war and still do
business as usual. This means you
and not other people. You might as
well come to 1t first as last. The war
Is unusual and we shall have to have
unusual business to deal with it.
The gist of it is this: The nation
has just so many hands and just so
much energy-just so much raw mate
rial and labor There are only "a
hours in the day and 1896 days in the
year. We can make only so many
things in a given time with a given
supply of time and material. If we
make some things we cannot make
others. If we put sugar into candy to
stuff idle women we cannot have jam
10 feed the soldiers. If we make au-
tos for pleasure only, we cannot use
that material, labor and energy for
tanks and airplanes. If we burn the
gasoline on Sundays, the boys in
France cannot use 1t in battle
The whole truth is that we must
stop business as usual. And-this is
where you come in-you must stop
spending as usual. Do it now. Put
your money into gunpowder and not
face powder; into tanks and not limOu-
sines; into food for the trenches in
stead of spending it in hotels and res
taurants. But you cannot buy directly
for the army. The government must
do It, Give the government the money
and BUY A LIBERTY BOND.

HUNS ARE FACING
GREAT SLAUGHTER
ALLIES HAVE GREAT BATTERIES
IN RESERVE TO BATTER GER
MANS TO PIECES.
DRIVE DOOMED TO FAILURE

Paris.-The allied troops, well sup
ported by heavy and field artillery,
have halted the Germans in their fu-
rious rushes to reach the railroad from
Clermont to Amiens. The enemy's
latest detectives were evidently to
cut the railroad and take Amiens In
both of these he failed.
The allies, holding their ground
firmly in many parts and counter
attacking successfully, have again
caused the Germans enormous losses.
The slight gains the enemy has made
in the last few days give the allied
high command no reason to fear, as
they are considered here only the fluc'
uations of battle.
The Germans, Notwithstanding their
terrific losses, will not give up their
attempt to break our lines nor will
they realize that such an attempt is
now doomed to failure. Both French
and British at the present hold good
positions in most parts dominating the
German ones.
1t is reported that some Of the
French heavy batteries have not been
fired yet, so that should the Germans
ever meet us within their range the
battle will reduce itself to an abso-
Lutte slaughter of the Germans. 1t Is
also said the Germans have brought up
some naval guns with which they in
tend to lombard the railroad but this
does not trouble the French or British.

BUY LIBERTY BONDS.
Democracy and Liberty Under
going the Supreme Test.
Americans Face Great Duties in Pro-
vldlng Food Products and Aiding
Our Soldiers and Our Allies
In War.
(sy HAPssURe LIERE Of the VloI.
lantes.)

Democracy and Liberty are not al
ways synonymous, perhaps, but they
mean the same to us now, certainly.
A military autocracy, after more than
forty years Of thorough and cunning
preparation a great part of 1t by means
of weapons Of our own invention, has
thrust our Democracy and our Liberty
into the crucible to test it out, to see
whether 1t would hold good They did
not believe it would hold good, those
Prussian militarists; they do not be-
lieve it vet. We believe it win, but our
belief has been made up heretofore
largely Of egotsm and blindness.
Democracy and Liberty, the worlds
with our own, is now undergoing the
supreme test. OF course thereis dress,
and it is coming to the top rapidly.
There is inefticiency, mismanagement,
grave mistakes that even our national
leaders have made; there has been
some graft, no doubt; there has been
some playing of politics; there has
been profteering, but all this is only
the drOss floating to the top of the
crucible. We were never a military
nation, you know. The biggest of our
mistakes, / think, was in our shipbuild-
Ing program, but we were never a ship
building nation, either. However, this
dross is all being cleared away.
Fully 60 per cent of the winning of
this war depends upon us here at home.
We have three great duties upon us
now as we never had them upon us
before-those Of us who can grow food
products must grow more than ever;
we must all aid in the saving of foods,
and especially wheat, meats, and
sugar; and all of US who can, though
1t may necessitate some sacrifice, must
buy these new Liberty bonds. Proper
ly carried through, these three great
duties will prove the overwhelming
power in the winning of the war, be-
yond a doubt. The growing of great
crops and the conservation of food,
and the buying of Liberty bonds, quick
ly mean enough food for our soldiers
and our allies, and enough ships to
carry it. If we fail in this the die of
destiny is quite likely to fall with its
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. upward for us if
we do not fail, then Democracy and
Liberty will come out of the crucible
covered with glory. The result is
Inevitable.

CALL $50 900 MEN FOR DUTY
Second Increment of Great Draft Army
Has Orders to Report at
Camp April 26

Washington. -America inaugurated
her second year of the great war with
3 call to service of 100000 men.
Orders were sent out by the provost
marshal general to every state asking
their quotas be ready to move to camp
between April rs and May |. The call
includes 116,700 whites and $4,000 ne.
groes-the largest single draft mobili-
cation of the war.
The call laid grim phases upon Pres,
ident Wilson's address in Baltimore
when he answered in kind Germany's
threat of peace by force. The order
practically winds up the first draft
in all states, including the South,
where the movement of negroes has
been delayed until warmer weather.
And it fixes in April a stirring answer
to the French and British appeal for
more men. Between March 20 and
May just 25S,1SO men will have re-
Sponded to the service call.
