this country should be organized as a
single system and operated on SEIZED
ule time
Today the United States Shipping
Board has under its surveillance the
movements of one-fourth Of the mer-
chant ships of the world. Day by
day their locations, their arrivals and
sailings are charted and the time
spent in port and in transit With
the regularity of railroad trains great
cargo-ships are loaded with supplies
and despatched to return in a given
number of days
1t would be disheartening to the
German people to know, if they were
TO receive the information, that every
SIX minutes a merchant vessel arrives
at and another leaves an American
tort, and that from North Atlantic
seaports one departs for Europe ev>
cry forty minutes. This does not in
clude vessels in the service of the
army or navy. 1t does not take into
account the transportation abroad OF
1,450O00 American troops, over 80O,-
900 of them in the last three months
alone
To all of these ships are allotted
cargoes Of food, raw materials or mu-
nitions, according to the Government
requirements. 1t is all part of the
business of carrying on the war on
prearranged plans. From month to
month it is known with reasonable
precision how much shipping will be
available at various ports and what
supplies and munitions will be NOV
ed overseas. The freedom of the seas
belongs to the Allies and America,
and under the protection of their ma
yies they move their ships at will
wherever they need.

HEALTH OF THE TROOPS.

The soldiers newspaper, Stars and
Stripes, reports during the past year
131,075 cases of illness. among our
soldiers abroad, from which only 923
men died
In civil life this number of deaths
would occur in one year among 1884,
600 men of age twenty-three-twenty-
four years. The number of our men
abroad cred very rapidly after March
q and has for some weeks been above
100000. What it has averaged for a
year we do not know, but certainly
far above $4,000.
The expeditionary forces lost 2.37
per cent. of its working time through
the illness of the 131,O75 men cited.
This is again a good record. In a

lost 1874 days work on an average in
a year. But Saturdays, Sundays and
vacations were out of the reckoning.

WRITTEN LONG AGO.

The Presidents answer to the spe-
cious German peace proposal was
written long ago. 1t not only ante
dates but also anticipates the propo-
sition from Prince Macmillan. 1t
was written when the president made
this momentous declaration:
I'VE annot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guar
antee of anything that is to endure
unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other peoples of the
world would be justified in accepting.
without such guarantees, treaties OF
settlement, agreements for disarma-
ment, covenants to set up arbitration
in the place of force, territorial ad-
iustments, reconstitutions of small
nations, if made with the German
Government, no man. no nation, could
now depend on
That is why the president has asked
whether Prince Max represents the
people of Germany or the imperial
German government. For it is known
of all men that with the latter there
can be no safe and satisfactory deal
ings. They are beyond the pale OF
human trust

problem of the shortage of shipping
1t was no less necessary that all the

render the fullest possible service
than that the ship-yards should speed

We have but one business these
days-that of winning the war, and it
is the biggest, most desperate and
costly business venture that the world
has ever seen. The expense of this
8tupendous struggle is almost beyond
human conception.
The United States War bills for a
single month august, 1879 amounted
to Two Billion Dollars which repre-
sents nearly twice as much real money
as the gold and silver output of the
whole world for the entire year.
Sixty-two Million Dollars a day is
the present average War Toll, and our
Government doesn't ask you to give
one cent towards it. Uncle Sam does
expect us all to lend him every dol
lar that we can spare through the
purchase of Liberty Bonds. This is
a real privilege and not hardship
as some, contemplate, sneaking slack

A Liberty Bond is nothing more OF

the necessity for shipping men and
