more than a half a million gallons Of

A Cheering Word.

If somebody tells you that the aver
age life of an officer in the trenches Is
nine days and that If your boy gets
into the front line he is certain to be
killed within two weeks, don't believe
him, says Milestones. He probably
got his "information" from German
propaganda, since our Teut0n friends
seem bent on trying to brighten us out
of the war. No losses were more ex-
cessive than those among the British
infantry officers during the first year of
the war, when they fought losing
fight, without artillery support, and
insisted on exposing themselves in
conspicuous uniforms. The percentage
of casualties among them for the first
year was 1873, according to the official
figures.
The percentage of casualties among
our allies has been decreasing. The
proportion for the entire French army
was 5.41 per cent in 1914, per cent
in 1915 and 2.75 per cent for 1916.
The total for % months was little
over II per cent.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. -America has agreed
to send great army against the Ger
mans in time to Offset the detection
Of Russia. This was disclosed through
the publication by Secretary Lansing
of the review of the work and recon-
mendations Of the American mission,
headed by Colonel E. M. House, which
recently participated in interallied
war conferences in Europe. Fighting
men from the United States will cross
the Atlantic in as large and as con-
slant stream as is humanity possible.
France and England not only will fur
nish transports to help take the sol
diers across, but will see that any de-
flciencies in arms and equipment are
made on the other side.
This was one of the great decisions
reached at the conference through
which the co-belligerents planned to
pool their fighting resources and move
as a unit toward driving the Germans
and their allies out of conquered terri
tory and crushing the Teutonic world
domination scheme. There is to be CO.
ordinated effort, not only in fighting on
land and sea, but in production at
home and in the vast ship-building
projects upon which depends the vital
problem of maintaining uninterrupted
transportation in spite of submarines.
Even before Colonel House and his as
sociates on the American mission
reached home the machinery to again
speed up war preparations here had
been set in motion.
In the announcement Is seen the ex-
PLANTATION of the reorganization of the
War Department control embraced in
the formation of the new War Council
of general officers, of renewed efforts
to speed up the Shipping Boards mer-
chant building program, and possibly
Of the decision of the Administration
to take over all the nations railroads
without waiting for action by Con-
gress Other indications of the new
pressure applied since the House mis-
sion returned are manifest about the
Navy and War Departments, but most
of the things being done can not be dis
cussed publicly for military reasons. It
can be stated authoritatively, however,
that definite steps to make god1 the
pledges given to the allied leadeiS by
Colonel House already have been
taken.
