High Living Cost
Hits Soldiers, Too,
Say Army Officers

That the high cost OF living
has hit the men in the army SER
vice about as hard as those in
civil life is shown in figures pub
lished yesterday by the War De-
partment, which show that the
living cost in the army has ad-
yanced $50 per cent in the last
twenty years.
In 1897 the average cost per
meal for the soldier in the army
was a little over cents, less
than Is cents per day being al
lowed. The ration now approx
mates so cents per man. this be-
ing the allowance for three meals
a day. The cost OF fuel, help or
overhead expenses are not in
cluded in this allowance.
During the campaign in Mexico
the ration cost per day was %
cents. At the beginning of the
war with Germany it advanced to
40 cents and finally to 80 cents.

BURTON HOLMES

In the series of travelogues soon
to begin in this city, Burton Holmes
brings to the stay-at-homes the an
swers many have been asking ever
since our soldiers went over seas.
Every wife and mother, every father,
brother and child of our men in
khaki wants to know whether their
loved ones are well cared for, happy,
well fed; they also want to know
what our allies think of them and
what the Germans think of them to-
day; what does the Red Cross and
the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Salvation
Army do for them. Then the Amer
lean business man wants to know
where his money is going to and
whether il is economically expended !;
whether there is any salvage from
battlefelds, whether the soldiers get
white bread, butter, sugar and
bacon and many other things which
the stay-at-homes are denying them
selves, that our fighting men may
have plenty.
Burton Holmes will visualize the
answers to these and many more
questions by means of his motion
pictures and colored views, taken
this summer in England, FraI ce and
Italy.
Mr.. Holmes will begin his Wash
ington series at the National theater
on Sunday evening and Monda- after
noon, November oath and 25th re-
spectively with with the Yanks in
England" as his first subject.

I'D. c. BANDSMEN
READY FOR BERLIN

Five Washington men are Some
where in France footing their horns
in preparation for their triumphant
march through the streets of Berlin.
All are members of the 312th Field
Artillery band. Its leader, who has
just reached his majority, was well
known as a musical prodigy in the
Capital Two others formerly played
in the orchestra at the willard. And,
as one of the quintet writes to The
Times, Inter den Linden will soon
hear the tramp of American feet and
the strains of "Dixie"
Lieut. Frederick Rabinovitch, lead
er of the band, began his music
education in Washington thirteen
years ago, at the age of eight He
remained here for eight years, and
then moved to Baltimore. For the
past few seasons he played at the
Peabody Conservatory in that city
and gave a number of public violin
recitals His fame soon spread and
the artillery commanders offered him
the leadership of the band.
While in France his band, consist
ing of forty pieces, has given a num-
her of successful concerts for the
French populace in the devastated
zone Entertainments were also
staged at the Y. NJ. C. A. huts and

of his band which has been trav-

WISE TO HOLD LOAN
BONDS, ISADV|CE

The wide distribution among mil
lions OF American citizens of Liberty
loan bonds makes our Liberty loans,
according to Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo's expressed opinion, the
scundest OF national financing. That
these bonds be kept widely distributed
among the American people is of
great Importance to the nation and
to the individual holders Of the bonds.
United States Government bonds in
the past have gone above par, as high
as S139 for a 500 per cent bond.
That Liberty bonds will go well above
par when peace comes is very prob
able. Holding ones Liberty bonds,
therefore, is wise as well as patriotic.
Every holder Of a Liberty loan bond
should heed the caution to hold to his
or her bonds, because there are going
to be great efforts by shrewd and I'M
scrupuIous people to buy or secure at
inadequate prices these bonds from
holders who are not we'll informed as
to stock and bond values.
Worthless or near-worthless stock
or stock OF only speculative value
wildcat stocks" they are called-are
going to be offered for Liberty bonds
Some will be urged not to sell or ex-
change their Liberty bonds, but to buy
the stocks and give the Liberty bonds
as security for the purchase price
This is a camoufiaged attempt to get
Liberty bonds in exchange for the
stock of their companies.
If every holder OF a Liberty bond
will consult a bank before he disposes
of it, the get-rich-quick concerns will
not prosper. but the individual bond
holders will. and the American people
as a whole will be benefited.
