The Cost of the Liberty Loan

Eliminating the cost of paper
and the engraving and printing of
the bonds, the expense to the Gov
eminent of floating the three Lib
erty Loans, aggregating nearly ten
billion dollars, was less than two
million dollars, or approximately
one fiftieth of one per cent. The
expenditure for publicity was only
S176,157, or less than one five
hundredth of one per cent, and ap-
preparation that would not be sutfi
cient to finance nationwide ad-
vertising campaign for cigarettes,
pinkpills, or other cureall.
This is not equivalent to saying
that the Liberty bonds sold them
selves. They didn't and it is no
unworthy confession to admit that
the success of these extraordinary
loans, popularity subscribed by a
nation that was not accustomed to
such requests from its Govern
ment, and that in the course of
fifty years had come to regard a
Government bond as matter
chiefly concerning banks and bank
ers, required the most extraordin-
airy and comprehensive advertising
campaign that ever had been at
tempted.
The contrast between the aggre-
gate of effort expended in the float
ing Of these loans and the cost to
the Government is the enlightening
and inspiring suggestion of these
figures. There could have been lit
tie graft, or self-seeking Of any
sort in such an achievement. No
thing short of voluntary co-opera-
ton of the whole people could have
filled the gap between the expense
bills sent to Washington and the
actual cost, in money, time and
energy expended.
And the best Of it all is that the
Government got greater value for
its expenditure than even the ten
billion dollars for its war chest. It
created propaganda of patriotism
that could not have been achieved
by an expenditure five times great
er in other and ordinary means of
appeal. It set nation at work for
the war, and it prepared the
ground for war saving, food con-
servation and even the recruiting
of army and navy ranks. And il
made better Americans out OF
thousands and hundreds of thous,
ands who now regard citizenship
as title of ownership in the Gov.
eminent, where previously they
considered it chiefly an irrespon,
sible tenancy under an absentee
landlord.

"PULPING" FRUITS
Methods Of Filling Pantry Without
Using Sugar.


Every housekeeper is anxious to
build up safe reserves of fruit and
vegetables for winter, and a good pro-
WIDER takes justifiabe pride in we'll
filled shelves. To such women the
twenty-five pound allotment of sugar,
or even more generous allowance
for canning, will not provide a safe
margin unless there is a careful allo.
cation-so much sugar for cherries.
and so much for peaches-and this
program backed up with generous
supplies canned without sugar
England has. adopted method of
preserving fruit without sugar, known
as "pulping." that is employed both
commercially and in the homes. This
method is economical of Jars. as no
water is used in canning the fruit.
The method, according to the bulletin
of the Royal Horticultural Society, is
as follows: Pack Steriized jars full
of fruit, add no water. place rubhers
and caps in position, and fill pan with
water up to the shoulders of the bot
ties Place pan on fire and bring
water tn the simmering point and keep
It at this point half an hour Remove
bottles and fill them one from the
other. replace ruhhers and caps. and
put the bottles back in the pan and
bring them up to the simmering point
again for another five minutes. Take
. them out one at a time and screw
( down the tops. Tnvert to cool and
fest the joints. Wrap in paper to pre-
! vent bleaching and store in dry.
! cool place
Cooking the fruit before hOttling is
a simple method of pulping but the
fruit will he darker than If the above
method is followed. This method is
as follows Place fruit over a gentle
heat until enough moisture comes out
to prevent burning, then increase the
heat until the fruit boils Boil an
hour, stirring all the time, and can,
/ following usual methods of sterfl'z-
ing. In putting up apples little
water will have to be added to the
fruit 10 prevent burning.

as the usual quantity of sugar. but as

DEATH FOR ALI
 CzECRO-SLOYAK
 ARMY CAPTURED
Austria Declares That Mem bers of That Force Once Swore Allegiance and Are Traitors
CBy Review Leased wlrel

VIENNA, Aug. r, tvia London).- British recognition of the Czecho-Slo- walks as a nation was denounced in an official statement issued here to- day The statement declares that the members of the Czecho-Slovak army will be regarded and treated as trait ors by Austria-HungaTy.
 The statement says:
 The form and contents of this latest declaration of the British government must be emphatically repudiated. The Czecho-S Slovaks' national council is a committee of private persons who have no mandate from the Czecho-Slovak people and still less from the Czecho- Slovaks' nation, which exists only in the imagination of the entente.
 Equally absurd is it to represent this committee as a future govern ment which as yet does not exist.
 Tn reference to the Czecho-Slovaks' army it may constitutena part of the entente army, but 1t certainly can not be an ally of the entente in the sense of international law. It is well known to us that only a slight frac- tion of tine self-styled Czecho-Slovak army dIo AustIldhs UT even nuhSei is'ii citizens of SlOvak tongue.
 These disloal elements, guilty of perjury, will not withstand the en- tente's recognition and will be regard ed and treated as traitors. It cannot be permitted that the peoples wbo have always fulfilled their duty aS Austrian and Hungarian citizens, and whose sons as members of the Aus tro-Hungarian army fought bravely against the entente, shall be subject ed to the suspicion cast upon them by such methods as employed by the British official declaration. The Aus tro-HungaTian government reserves its steps in this regard"

FOCH ATTACKS HUNS IN NEW
 PART OF LINE
Connects Battles of Aisne and Somme by Action on the Autheches Plateau; News From Russia Excellent

UNDATED WAR LEAD, BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS-The Amer jeans in Lorraine have enlivened an ordinarily quiescent sector by taking from the Germans the village of Frapelle, five miles east of St. Die. The action, which started with the proportions of a raid in the early hours Saturday morning, developed into an organized attack under the dash of the American troops immedi- ately after they left their trenches. The German losses evidently were heavy in killed and wounded and pris- oners also were taken by the Amer jeans.
 Marshal Foch has connected up the battles of the Aisne and the Somme. Announcement is made that. by local attack, the plateau nerth Of Au- trenches, about ten miles northwest of Soissons, has been carried by the French and that their success gives them a position dominating the region extending nOrthward toward the Disc river
 The attack while local in character, must have had plenty of power to car " as far ahead as is indicated in dis patches. The French line from the Aisne to the Disc has been inactive since early in July. It ran through Autrenches to Moulin-SousT Touvent and thence northwes;eriy through the Carlepont and Ourscamp forests to the Disc If the whole plateau north of Autrenches has been taken from the Germans, the French have advanced upwards of a mile in that region.
 When the Germans halted their re- treat from the Marne salient and made a stand on the Aisne, it was assumed a blow northwest of Soissons would be struck as a success would Outflank the Germans and compel their retreat to their old lines north of the Chemin Des Danes.
 Then the Picardy offensive began and the eyes of the world were fixed on the allied progress east of the Avre and Ancre.
 This drive has recently been almost at a standstill. Only local actions have been fought for the past four days along the line established by the Germans west of the Somme Some of the progress. especially along the southern sector of the line has been important, though hardly noticeable on map. but the Germans are desper- ately defending every inch of the high ground southwest of Noyon and south of Lassigny, as we'll as the area around Rove.

REVENUE BILL
 NOW IS READY
 FOR CONGRESS
Chairman Kitchin Asserts the. Measure as Framed Will Raise Necessary Eight Bill lion Dollars
CBy Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The new revenue bill will raise a total of $S,- O0O,OOO,OOO for the expenses of the government in the present fiscal year, Chairman Kitchin of the house ways and means committee announced when the committee adjourned. It is prob able, Chairman Kitchin said that the bill will be introduced next week and be taken up by the house a week from Monday.
 Changes in the schedules not as yet definitely fixed may lower the total, it was said. In that event the commit tee may resort to a customs tax and flour tax on tea, coffee and similar products.
 The changing conditions also may affect the amount of revenue to be obtained. The committee is watching the outcome of the effort to pass na- tiOnal war time prohibition measure, which the senate is to take up August A. If a prohibition measure is en. acted, revenues to be obtained under the bill will be decreased consider ably.
 The next tax on liquors is under stood to provide a substantial increase on whiskey and other liquors and soft drinks total revenue of S1,00O, ,O0O,0 ,0JS or more. The liquor tax rates are be- ing withheld from publication to guard against withdrawals of whiskey from bond. The committee finally ap- proved the tobacco schedule un- changed from rates heretofore an nOunced.
 In the 10 per cent tax of articles deemed luXuTies above a certain price it made the tax apply to wOmen's waitsts in excess of Sl5, instead of S10, as previously agreed to and ;s women's hats at S15 instead of S25.
 Motor boats and canoes were add ed to the 10 per cent tax OF yachts and pleasure boats, but it exempted motor boats and canoes costing S20 or less. the exemption being to pro tect hOme-built craft.
 Considerable interest has been mani fested in the normal tax on personal incomes and the committee announced the text of the schedule as follows:
 Normal taxes: Section 210-That there shall be levied, collected and paid for each taxable year upon The net income of every individual, a nor nal tax as follows:

CRISIS AVERTED
 WHEN CARRANzA
 AMENDS DECREE
While Amendment Is Only Less Obnoxious Than Or iginal, Opens Way for Fur ther Farley
CBv Review Leased WIrel


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The threatened crisis in the relations of Mexico with the entente allies and the United States apparently has been averted by a modification of the new Mexican oil tax by President Carranza. On August F CarranZa in effect can celled provisions of the decrees of July 31 under which undeveloped oil lands might be seized by the Mexican gov ernment upon failure Of their owners to make declarations and submit to what they regarded as excessive tax ation.
 The decree of July 31 was an amend ment Of one issued last February which had given serious concern to the officers Os the British and AmerI- can navies because of it's interference with the supplies of crude oils upon which their battleships and destroyers were dependent.
 In addition to representations through diplomatic channels from Washington and London, the American oil producers in Mexico appointed committee to confer with the Mex lcan government to seek an equitable of the points at issue. They were willing to pay any reasonable in- crease in the rate os tax but feared that the new decree would put them out of business and amount to virtu- ally confiscation of their properties.
 Tho modification now made hardly will be wholly satisfactory but it was said today that it appears to make paving the way for clear ing up the situation.
