Bristol, Dec. II (by the Associated
Prcss) The war bill of the allies
against Germany is $1,000 900. 900
pounds. according to the prime MIN
lister, David Lloyd George, who pre-
sentcd this and other interesting facts
before a large gathering here today.
The cost of the war to Great Britain
was 5000, 000,0 900 pounds.
Before tho war tho estimated
wealth of Germany. said the premier,
was between 1900. 200, 900 and co.
00O. 900, 900 pounds sterling. SO, If the
whole wealth of Germany were taken
there would not he enough TO pay tho
account Therefore, nc had used
the words:
Germany should pay 10 the utmost
limit of her capacity"
When the prime minister was adj
dressing an overflow meeting he said
Great Britain would he guilty of a
great folly il she gave up her navy.
4 voice interrupted:
"Thcn watch Wilson:'
The premier replied:
well, | hope TO meet him in a
fortnight. L will tell him what you
say"
"Whereycr the request comes from
we arc not going to give up the pro-
lection of the navy. so far as Great
Britain ia concerned"
London, Dec. IL Premier Lloyd
George speaking today at Bristol, said
the English military service act was
passed in order TO meet great emer-
gency When that emergency was
passed the paed wss nassef aas The
act would lapse. He added there was
no intention to renew it. Whether
Great Britain would require conscrlp-
ton in the future in any shape or
form, Mr.. Lloyd George said, depend
ed not upon the opinion which he now
expressed but upon the peace terms
which were made. Continuing the
prime minister said:
What drove us to consumption was
the ex stence of conscripted armies on
the continent that inevitably rushed
the world into war. They could not
have great military machines there
without tempting the men at the head
OF them to try their luck with those
machines The Germans always felt
there was nothing to resist their per-
feet military machine.
IF you want permanent peace if
you want TO prevent the horrors OF
this war being repeated you must put
an end to conscript armies on the con-
tinent Of Europe.
THE first thing to do is to prevent
the repetition of blunders of the past
by making 1t impossible to have those
great conscript armies in the future

This reccmmendation is not made in
support of any theories concerning
the best ultimate policy of running the
railroads Mr.. McAdoo explained, but
only to give the nation time to form its
ideas carefully.
The director general explained that
1t is impossible to retain the roads
under government control for twenty
one months after the declaration of
peace without further legislation
ewing to the strain on the norale Of
officers and employees and pointed out
the difficulty Of obtaining compre-
hensive legislation on the subject soon.
President Wilson in his recent adj

to decide what should be done with
the railroads, and asked ccpSre S. to

Youngsters Love, Soldiers,

The old saying that ''all the world
loves a lover" might be changed these
military days to every kid loves
soldier" or his uniform, at least. Just
watch the little boys and girls as
soldier passes. Those admiring glances
would not be bestowed on q Stacker"
Here are two cases in point, cites the
Indianapolis News:
II JUS low gu soders," said three
year-old Charles Ullrich, son of Fred
Ullrich, Big Four agent at Shelbyville,
as he entwined his arms about the
neck or Sergeant Ross Reed, of Green's
burg. Reed, with several Decatur
county soldiers from Camp Taylor,
were on the way to Greensburg, by
way of Shelbyville, and the sergeant
after buying a ticket had leaned up
against the railing Of the ticket office
when the three-year-Old Rugged him.
\ second illustration occurred when
Sergeant Reed reached GreenSburg on
the way to his parents home. He was
confronted by tiny soldierly figure
that saluted with all the grace and
courtesy of a trained soldier. The
sergeant exchanged the salute, and
then learned the tribute had been paid
by six-yearold Henry Jerman, son of
Prof. E. J. Jerman. superintendent of
Greensburg's city schools.

Why They Stopped.

One morning recently the children of
the indianapolis Orphans home were
assembled in the auditorium. They
were patriotic and started to sing "The
Finest Flag That Flies" Their leader
and pianist had them sing the first
verse. They did that so well she
asked for the second stanza. They
started. Suddenly every child stopped
not n sound escaped their lips. The
leader, very much surprised and
chagrined at the sudden, unexpected
silence, said, "What is the matter?"
In one accord they replied, 1--WE
can't sing that next line"
She looked at the words and the
next line read, 'Dear old Germany"
Certainly not" she told them, "we
will leave that entire stanza out" She
had not thought of finding anything
like that in an American flag song. It
had been written before the world
war.-Indianapoli News.

Store Ice to Save Ammonia,

Every ton of natural ice gathered
and stored this winter will help in
wartime conservation of ammonia,
which is vitality important in the manu-
facture Of fertilizers and explosives.
Ammonia is a necessity in the manu-
facture of ice and the salts of am
monia are regarded as essential in
making certain fertilizers. The man
who harvests ice now and stores it in
pits or ice houses may have the salts
faction next summer of helping out
his neighbor who depended on an ice
plant. In addition to the saving Of
ammonia, conservation of coal is to be
effected through the harvesting of nat
ural ice. American ice factories and
refrigerator plants. according to fig
ures Of the United States fuel admin
istration, use annually 100000 tons
Of coal.
President Wilson, by a proclamation
signed January 4, has required all per-
sons, firms, corporations and associa-
tons, except those specifically ex-
emptCd by the food control act, en-
gagged in the business of importing,
manufacturing, storing, or distribut-
ing ammonia. ammoniacal liquor or
ammonium sulphate, from whatever
source produced, to secure license on

Meat Supply Is Inspected.

medt supply is inspected.
Every pound of meat or meat prod
ucts which reaches the mess tables Of
Uncle Sans fighting forces is in
spected at least twice by experts Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture - first at the establishment
where it is packed or prepared, and
finally at the camps. This extra pre-
caution is taken to prevent food made
unwholesome by adulteration or
through tampering by enemies from
reaching American soldiers and sail
ors. Laboratory analyses of samples
taken from supplies at the camps show
if the foods have been made injurious
by tampering.
TWenty-siX hundred experts of the
meat-inSpection service of the depart
ment of agriculture are stationed
throughout the country at establish
ments which prepare meat and meat
products fer interstate and foreign
commerce. These inspectors person
ally examine the live animals, the car
caSscS, and all parts thereof at the
time Of slaughter They continue to
inspect and to reinspect the meat and
meat products throughout the differ
ent stages Of preparation. All meat
which is unsold. unhealthy. unwhole-
some, and otherwise unfit for food is
condemned and destroyed in the pres
ence of the inspectors. Some 70 in
spectors of this service have been de-
tailed to the various military and
naval camps. All meat and meat prod
ucts for the army and navy are OBJ
~tained only from inspected establish
ments, and every consignment must
bear the government stamp inspected
