this preparation now. because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened

soft brush with IL and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
!. THE TEA PARTY"
AND THE KAISER
BY LOUIS ALBERT LAMB.


My grandsire painted red his hide
In ancient Mohawk style,
And crept down to the Mystic side
To wait little while.
Then other Yanks in redskln guise
Collected at the bay
And took the tea ship by surprise
And threw the tea away.
Old George the Third was much
averse
To freedom for the Yanks;
His taxes were a deadly curse
He taxed and gave no thanks.
But when the Mohawk Boston men
Dumped all the tea TO port
King George began to think again
And arm for warlike sport"
He sent his Hesslans over here
To kill Cap. Barker's boys.
To burn the school and meeting house
And other such annOys;
But when they came to Bunker Hill
That jolly day in June
And Warren met 'em with a will
They piped another tune.
The Yanks have got job today
That's worthy of the race;
The kaiser treads rocky way
And spars to save his face.
But all the Yanks have gone to France
En- route for old Berlin:
II we buy Bonds at every chance
You bet the Yanks will win
Our grandsires d!shed King Georges
will
And sailed all his tea.
Our boys will do the same for Bill,
Kaiser of Germany
The only way to push the work
And make Berlin our own,
Is this: Get busy, do not shirk
But BUY THE FIGHTING LOAN"

Caesar before he captured it, it is
about 100 high and is on top of the
mountain, the walks are over ten feet
thick and there is dungeon in the
bottom.

WHAT UNCLE sam
DOES WITH MONEY
How Funds Raised by Sale of
Liberty Loan Bonds Is Ex-
pended by Government.
FIGURES ARE STAGGERING
Estimated Total Of $24, 000, 000, 900
viii Be Spent This Year for Prepa-
ration and Maintenance Of
Our Fighting Forces.

Now that the people of the United
States are to be asked In the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive, which opens Sep
TENDER 2S' and continues three weeks,
to lend the government at least twice
as much money as has been asked be-
fore, the treasury department realizes
that there is a natural curiosity on the
part of the public to know for what
all this money is being expended. The
amount already spent on preparation
and the maintenance of the fighting
forces staggers the. Imagination, and
the prospect is for an even larger ex-
penditure in the present fiscal year,
the total being estimated at $4,000.
100000.
Figures received at Liberty Loan
headquarters for the Seventh Reserve
district from the war department give
an idea of the vast sums which have
been expended and which will have to
be spent to win the war, and this in
formation brings home to all Ameri-
cans concrete idea of how much
money 1t takes to wage modern war
and how our money is being used to
win victory.
The following figures are an answer
to the query of the average Liberty
Bond buyer: Just what will Uncle
Sam do with the money from my $500
bond? A single bond does not go far to-
ward meeting the expense of war, it is
pointed out, but when the bonds of
millions of Americans are brought to-
gether, the total of cash provided
reaches stupendous totals.
Since the United States entered the
war in April, 1917, the war department
has raised, equipped, trained and, with
naval help, sent across the sea upward
of a million and half of soldiers, and
has practically as many more under
training at home. OF all this vast
number of men sent abroad, the num-
Der lost In transit as a result of
U-boat attacks up to September 1,
1918, was less than 500.
During this same time 100000
rifles have been made, inspected, as
sembled and issued, and the weekly
production Is growing.
The total amount of money directly
appropriated by congress for the ord
nance program, for which authorize
ton has been given to incur obliga-
tons, amounts to approximately $12,-
000,0O0000.
From the beginning of the war to
June 30, 1918 the last day of the past
fiscal year, contracts were placed by
the ordnance department from appro-
priations and authorizations existing
at that time amounting to $4,30O,OOO,-
600. 1t Is now estimated that during
the present fiscal year ending June 80,
1919, the actual cash expenditures for
ordnance will reach total Of $1,000
100000.
The major items for which cash ex-
penditures were made or for which
contracts were placed up to June 80,
1918. were as follows:

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 1.-THE former

Maxinlilian OF Baden. has issued
pamphlet in which he writes:
MY peace policy was entirely upset

was handed TO me in complete form
upon my arrival in Berlin. fought
against it for practical and political
reasons. II seemed to me a grave mis-
take to. allow the first step toward
peace to be accompanied by such an
amazing admission OF Germany's weak

Neither the enemy powers nor our

necessary. proposed that the Govern
ment as a first measure should state
exactly its programme of war aims and
demonstrate to the world our agree
ment with President Wilson's principles
and our readiness to undergo heavy
national sacrifices TO fulfil those
principles.
Il was told in reply that there was
not time to wait for the effect OF such
a statement and that the situation at
the front demanded that a proposal for
an arTnistice should be made within
twenty-four hours, TO be supported by
publication of the names OF new and
unimpeachable government.
"A week later the military authorities
informed me that they had been mis-
taken in the judgment they had formed
concerning the situation at the front on

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE
Nov. 1.-THE majority Of the American
troops got under way at 5 80 this morn
ing, although some OF the heavy artillery
began to move earlier. In glorious. crisp.
sunshiny weather one marching column
crossed the Meuse River at stenay, NOV
ing in the general direction of Arlon.
Another front line force left the
Meuse River at Charney. heading tow
ard Longay. Another force marched
from Verdun. taking the general direc-
ton OF each. Still another marched
toward Contains. heading toward Briey
and Diedenhofer (Thionville).
Coming close after the first line troops
were our second line units, as the pur-
pose Is to have the army reach the
Rhine in perfect battle array. Never
have American troops gone out upon an
expedition better equipped than those
now moving toward Germany. The
units are particularly strong in motor
transportation. with a full complement
OF trucks. motor cars and motorcycles.
All cannon. both heavy and light, have
beer inspected and when necessary
renewed.
The divisions which have been selected
to share with the French and British
in holding the west bank of the Rhine
look upon the movement in the light OF
a practice march after their recent ex-
periences in following the fighting enemy
before them. IT is war without its
sting. No bursting shells. no "spit-spit"
OF machine guns. Only the steady tread
OF falling feet and the calls of command
as the artillery, infantry and caYalry
patrols progress UP shell torn highways.
Several days will be consumed in pass
ing through northern France before
reaching the edge of the Grand DuChy
OF LuNemburg, the neutral territory
which gave unobstructed passage to Ger
many's southbound troops four years
ago. The American forces do not go TO
Metz or Strassburg.
As for the equipment of the individual
soldier nothing is lacking Our boys
have two pairs of shoes, four pairs OF
wool socks. two flannel uudershirts and
two wool overshirts, with extra draw
ers and breeches. Not man started
who was not provided with an over
! coat and fun winter marching equip
ment.
AS the units progress toward LuXem-
burg food supplies Will move out in
their wake daily from the rail heads at
Dun sur Mouse and Nerdun. Rations
for the entire trip have been set aside
and transportation arranged for them
systematiCally.
