IMMENSE SUM
NECESSARY TO
BRING VICTORY
Rep. Ellsworth Estimates
Eighty Billions at Cosmo-
poitan Baptist Church.

Eighty billions Of dollars will be the
stupendous cost of the war to the
United States IL It lasts another two
years and this country pays per capita
toward the struggle in proportion to
what Great Britain and France have
paid. Representative Frank Ellsworth
said in an address delivered before
yesterdays church rally and Wash
ington celebration held at CosmopoIi-
tan Baptist Church.
Mr.. Ellsworth spoke on Americas 4
Eternal Purpose" and showed how
the American people had drifted away
from their original ideals and how
prior to the war they were too deeply
intent on the pursuit OF wealth and
luxury.
He expressed the belief that, terrible
as the present struggle was, 1t would
bring the citizens of the United States
back to place and give them a better
appreciation of the true value Of great
principles underlying national life.
The meeting was held in the interest
of nationwide drive, which is now
being conducted, having for its object
the raising Of $4,000 to meet the over
due mortgage on the Cosmopolitan
Church. Canvassing teams have been
organized and appeals are being made
in every part of the country.
DIR. Simon p. Drew presided at the
meeting. Rev. DR.. w. H. V. B. Tay-
lor offered the invocation.

Important Government Branch Scat
tered Over the City.

Because Congress has not provid-

now scattered in twelve different
buildings, widely separated, is pay
ing annual rentals of $1S1.63S, in
some instances as much as two dol
lars and a half a square foot of
floor space, for inadequate quarters.
The various departments of the
Shipping Board and Emergency
Fleet Corporation now require 524.-
900 square feet of floor space, and
they are crowded into only 1881
square feet.
The boards imperative expansion
for the big spring drive in ship
building will require another 26,o00
square feet. a total of 350,00o. A
temporary structure has been asked
of Congress, but the most progress
made so far is a tentative promise
of part of the new temporary build
ings built for the army and navy
with the $4,000. 900 provided in the
Urgency Deficiency Bill-if the army
and navy can spare any.
The board now extends from
Sixth and F streets northwest, to

PATENT OFFICE
MAKES APPEAL
FOR employees
Desires to Have Expenenc
ed Men Formerly with
Department Return.

Facing a shortage Of fifteen pat
ent examiners. and with applications
for patents mounting in number day
by day, Franklin K. Lane, Secre-
tary Of the Interior, and J. T. New
ton. Commissioner Of the Patent Of
fee. yesterday issued joint appeal
for assistance from those who had
deserted the Patent Office for. pri-
vate practice. after having received
part of their training in the gov
ernment work.
The shortage is caused, according
to officials. in part by u number
of men who left to enter the war,
and in part by ''desertion from the
Patent Office at this time of need,
of certain men who have gone into
private practice"
I'VE have tried to fill the delin-
quency," officials stated in the ap-
peal. through the Civil Service Com
mission, and failed. We have writ
ten to some of the universities for
help and have obtained no new men.
I'VE wish as an emergency meas
ure to call back to the Patent Of
fee those men who received part
of their training in this office. The
army and navy have called their
reserves into action and we find that
the scientific men Of the country
are equally entitled to be regarded
as a Reserve Patent Corps. There
fore, We appeal to those who can
devote even a year of their time
to join this force in this emergency"

BAKER Will URGE
LESS LIQUOR TO men
Favors More Stringent Measures If
New Rules Inadequate.

Secretary of War Baker viii urge
more stringent measures with regard
to the serving OF liquor to soldiers In
uniform, II the new regulations re-
Gently announced are not sufficiently
effective.
In. an official statement last night
the Secretary issued a warning against
abuse OF the exceptions as to private
homes outside the zones surrounding
camps. II was not intended to give any
liberty OF action which did not exist
previously. said the Secretary. No
subterfuge which would violate either
the letter or the spirit OF the law will
be tolerated.
The purpose OF the new regulations
was to make possible the conviction OF
bootleggers who have been furnishing
liquor to soldiers. Heretofore gifts OF
liquor outside camp zones did not vio-
late the law.
Members OF the family, relatives and
bona fide guests are the only soldiers
to whom liquor may be served in pri-
vate homes.

In SHIPPING BOARD

A new reorganization Of the United
States Shipping Board has heen be-
gun, IL was learned last night. II will
be mainly a reorganization OF methods,
but may entail some wedding out of
inadequate members OF the personnel
The new scheme has as its main
purpose the elimination OF old delays
due to red tape.
Important national interests hereaft-
er will not be held up because Of the
absence Of the head OF a department
or lack Of quorum OF the commits
sioners or inability TO consult directly
with Edward n. Hurley, the chairman.
AN understudy to every 3ct'' is the
slogan OF the boards house cleaning.
and every understudy authorized and
able to take his chiefs place when
necessary."- 1t is in the pursuit Of
this goal that there may be some oust-
ing Of lesser functionaries.

things at stake, has long since ceased
to care about such trifies.
The incident only served TO bring up
the everlasting puzzle Of: Why does
the Boche do 1t?
His tremendously expensive raids
have no military or strategic value,
and 1t can only be that his clumsy
mind conceives the absurd theory
that such people as the British and
the French, who have proved their
staunchness by a heroism which will
be the epic in future history, could
be frightened by a goblin-a scare
crow in a field!
We have not been among the Brit
ish so much, but we were with them
in the one visitation. and know that
there Is nothing but bravery in them
and as for the French, whom we
know much better. ait Is to laugh"
Fear. as a basis of action. seems
to have gone out OF the universe.
At least II is not, to be found In
France, for fear is individual. and
the Frenchman. dear as life may be
to him. no longer lives for himself.
He Is but a part of a great daunt-
less nation which is proceeding stern
-Iy toward the accomplishment of one
clear and fixed idea: for that idea,
France Is willing TO endure again al:
the deprivation and the agony which
she has endured in the past. to fight
bravely and TO bravely suffer. to pour
out her treasure and her blood in an
unending stream, without complaint
and without one faltering in her su-
blime courage. until the foul and
hideous monster of Prussian mill
tarism has been driven forever from
the world
