OUR BURDEN OF DEBT.
The Germans Talk as If Our Money
Was Being Thrown Away.

One of the methods by which the
German plotters throw SAID in our
machines, is to bear down. heavily on
the terrible burden of debt we are
laying up. They talk as if money
were being thrown away like so much
dirt.
This is old stuff. All opponents of
human advance have always used it.
When, the American school system
was being built, the moss backs used
to sing this same old song. A school
house would cost terrible sum of
money. 1t could not be raid for for
ten or twenty years. 1t was burden
laying its hand on every mans in
come. Yet our people continued to
build school houses, and were never
sorry for it.
So with our free spending of
money to ward off the terrible Ger
man menace. 1t will cost a good
sum of money. But it is cheap for
what we get.
When mans wife and his child
rem are stricken with some terrible
disease, he does not consider cost
m1Ich then. He pays out his good
money, for which he has toiled hard
and long, with tie same freedom
with which Uncle Sam is spending
his now. Everl if it takes all his
savings, he is willing to do it to, save
his family.
Our national burdens seem light

 Captain Laguaria, on his way tc the Italian front, remained in Rome just long enough to address the as sembly. He surprised the delegates by speaking in the Serbian language.
 In the presence of Italian Senators, deputies and diplomats, assembled with the all-Slav delegates to decide upon common action with Italy against Austria, Captain Laguardia said that the American people were unfamiliar with the intricate policies of the Balkan States which were so complicated, he added, that only a few Natives understand them thor. oughly themselves.
 Make it simple" he went on. All unite into one big people, one pow erful Nation, that is the sort of politics we understand and that is the way we want to help you We will provide for you, help you until you are strong enough to look after yourselves.

Except in certain skilled trades these bureaus find there is no marked shortage of labor, the chief problem at present being dis. tribution.
 The labor turnover so far this year has been greater than in previous years. This is attributed to some extent to unusual opportunities for individual betterment offered by plants working on war contracts. E
