A BIT OF FINANCIAL
 HISTORY

The credit of the United staoes was so high and unquesttonaoie that in 1900, two years after the spaSish war, ? per cent bonds were offered at par and over-suo- scribed. This Is 2 financial per formance no other nation has ever equaled.
 United states 4 per cent bonds in 1888 sold as high as 130 and in 1901 brought 139 7-S on the stock market
 The United States has never de- fauIted on any of its bonds. Not one of it's bond-holders has ever lost q cent of principal or interest except those who voluntarily have taken losses by selling their bonds in a period of temporary price de- pression. One hundred cents on the dollar, principal and interest, has the United States always paid.

HOuSeW0rk Is
 A Burden

Woman's lot is a weary one at best. But with backache and oth- CT distressing kidney ills life in- deed becomes a burden. Doan's Kid hey Pills have made life brighter fo many women. Read what Mrs. Roll Cookston, of 1909 E. First Ave, Spokane, Wash, says: "The grip put my kidneys out of order and l suffered with heavy dull pain in the small of my back which Kept getting more severe Some days I could hardly do my work for 1t was almost impossible to bend over. My kidneys were weak and annoyed me a great deal, too. I was worried because my feet swell cd and because of the puffiness un- der my eyes. One box of Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief and after ] had used two boxes I was feel ng fine In everyway." (State- ment given October 16, 1915.)
 On June s, 1917 Mrs. Cookston said: "I have had absolutely no trouele with my kidneys since Deans Kidney Pills cured me and feel better than I have in years"

CAMP LEWIS-AND ITS UNIQUE
 BODY OF MEN

It is situated, then, in the ex-
 treme upper left-hand corner of
 the United States, where the fir
 clad slopes of the Cascades sweep
 down to the ragged shores Of Puge Sound and where, in the limpid wat
 CTS of American Lake, is reflected
 the majestic bulk of Mount Rainier that mighty cone of ice and snow which rears itself a thousand feet
 higher than the Jungfrau.
 As the mobilization point for re- cruits from the eight weSternmost
 States and the Territory of Alaska
 Camp Lewis is essentially the camp of the frontier. Here are gathered tbe men who have been summoned from the orange-groves and oil- fields of California, from the apple orchards of Oregon, from the lum- ber-camps of Washington, from the ca+tle-ranges of Montana, from the ragches of Wyoming, from the mines of Utah and Nevada and Idaho, from the gold-fields of the Yukon the men. or the sons of the men, who have tanned the West.
 Probably nowhere else in all the world are forgathered so many rep .resentatives of that picturesque but fast-disappearing breed, the Am Prican frontiersmen. Nightly, across the pine tables in the mess-halls or around the big stoves in the bunk rooms, one can hear tales Of wild adventure which would provide scen- arios for a hundred novels or mo- ti1n picture thrillers. Here can be found men who, in frail Indian canoes have byaved the rapids of Cataract Canyon, who have faced death in Death Valley, who have hunted big game on the banks of the Big Horn and in the fastness of the Kawick Range have sought for gold. There is scarcely a horse ranch or COW outfit in all the West th@t is not represented at Camp Lewis. tWhen the troops are drill in7 you can pick out the cow-puneh- CTS by their peculiar rolling gait, lkie that of sailors ashore.) When experienced miners were needed for the engineers there stepped forward men who had worked every lode from Nome to Canauea. When the Remount Depot held a military and rodeo, the entries !" the bronco busting and bulldog

MANUFACTURE
 MACHINE GUNS
 IS MOST RAPID

The following statement is au- thorized by the Secretary of War:
 The Browning machine rifle, mod el of 1918, air cooled, familiarly called the light Browning rifle" to be issued to the United States Army chiefly as an offensive weapon and possessing remarkable advantages which have been fully demonstrated is now being manufactured on a quantity basis by machine processes.
 The Ordnance Department is ad- vised of the completion of more than 100 of these guns and that deliveries will continue regularly and 'l increasing volume as shop machines are multiplied and manu. factuIinb personnel developed. It Is estimated that peak production will be reached in June, when sev- eral thousand guns of this type will be tuned out each week for the Army.
 Ahead of Contract Promises.
 In this accomplishment the man. ufacturers are ahead of their con- tract promises to the Ordnance De partment. This is gratifying as it has been the experience of the Coy ernment heretofore that machine gun production has rarely met pre- determined schedules, owing to the tendency tC make contract promises upon the most favorable estimates of the manufacturing situation, which in the case of new machine gun production is particularly in tricate. It is a matter of satisfaction that there has been mo delay in bringing the quantity manufacture of the Browning rifle to a point which promises adequate supplies for the trench warfare of the Ex- peditiInary Force and ample op- portunity to give the necessary training in the use of these guns to the mobilized Army.

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT
NLADINOSTOk

The proposal of Japan that an ,.''iad cxDeditiouary force step i'll and take charge of affairs at Vladt- y0stck is one that meets with the approval of common sense, at least for the moment. The sequel 70 sucn intervention is none the less uncertain and in its political aspect can be made dubious with q little speculation on possibilities.
 Tn present facts are that there are vast quantities Of war and oth- CT material at YIadiyostok and along the t-anssiberiau railway. This material was produced by the al lies and sold 10 the Russian gov erument, has ceased to exist and the material is in danger apprOXi- mate or remote, of falling into the kaise7's hands.
 If this material is of any value 10 Germany, it is only a question of .jme until she gets it. This getting will. however, be no simple matter, eye. with the consent of the Bol- sheyiki, whose disposition in the cage one way or the other may as well be discounted in advance. The traDssiheriau raiIroad has broken dCwn and it is not to be expect ed that it will spring into efficiency al -he command of the German war ford. If Germany had free hand it would require herculean efforts over long period to get the Vladi- ycstoE supplies to her border.
 The tranSsiberiau runs for 500 miles through AIauchuria, and re- cent dispatches. not since contra dicted, told of the Chinese occu- Dany of Harbiu, effectively cut tinU communication between Vladi- yostok and Russia. To avoid liar bin shipments would have to be routed to Khabaroysk. across the Amur river to BlagOveschensk and on to Nerchinsk, which would add thousand miles to the already staggering length of the transsiber- isu.
 From data at hand it would not now appear that Germany is in any immediate danger of getting the ma ferial at Yladiyostok. There still re- mains the danger of Bolsheviki de- struction to be considered, and the comparatively small matter as to who is to pay for it all Then there is the effect the entrance of an allied force into Russian ter rltory would have on the Russian people, or on those whom circum stances have made the opponents of the popular will. There is nothing to indicate that the Russian peo- pie, barring the BOlsheyiki, who actually represent less than l per cent Of the population, would l care. The central powers no doubt would make much ado about it and | Japao's motives would be vociferous l ly impuEued by German propagand- | ists. For this reason and for the 1 sake Of appearances generally. any such invasion should be carried on | by m'xeL force. Seattle P.-I.
