since last November has been In
France. For the past five and a half
months he has been In the battles go

his uncle that he Is enjoying every
minute OF the %scrapping and has not
the least doubt OF the ultimate utter
defeat Of the Hun kaiser and his
hordes. The letters received last Sat

Can't Chew Tobacco.

Among the American soldiers who have
gone to France there has been decline in
the American habit of chewing tobacco,
according to reports, and \. NJ. c. \
secretaries who sell tobacco in canteens
in France say that modern warfare rather
than prejudice is responsible for it. It's
the gas mask that's done the trick, they
say. A devotee of the plug is seriously en-

mask. One Southern soldier is said to

have significance. Never before has
this ensign been flown out of British
home waters. It meant that a board
of the Admiralty, vested with full
power to make decisions for the Ad-
miralty which need not be referred for
confirmation, was on the ship.
Sir Eric lunched with President Will

conferences will begin on all matters
involved in the joint effort of the allies
and the United States to crush German
naval power.
The only incident of the trip across,
Sir Eric said, was also a good omen.

atty confirmed for himself the fact

increased cost of living because it cost
only 1881 cents day to feed a soldier
during the Spanish war.

ing sums the government has spent for
food alone since the war began S37 ,O0O,-
900 worth of -four; $l4O0O.OGO worth of
sugar; $43,000,000 worth of bacon; $l2,-
100000 worth of beans; $4,000 900 worth
of canned tomatoes; 100000 worth of
rice 1t sounds almost like food bill
for nation.
Without any disparagement whatever
of the rationlng system of the co-beli-
gerents it may be said that while, the
food of the British soldier compares

cousin, the French ration is less accept

Italians would get very cold recep-

The equipment of the American soldier

eminent has spent $l26000000 for shoes.
Only recently contract was let which

two pairs-one for marching and one for
general wear. The price III quantity OF

WHY It COSTS
AMERICA MORE
War Making Like Every
thing Else More Expensive
in the United States
HIGHER STANDARD
IN AMERICAN ARMY

Our Soldiers Demand More and Get
More Than Those of Other Countries
Food Alone Costs Staggering Sums
Not to Mention Equipment.
WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-Why does it
cost the United States so much more to
make war then it costs any of its CO.
belligerents?
What is being done with the tens of
billions being raised from Liberty bonds
and taxation? One often hears these
questions.
The answer is not difficult
1t is, simple, that it costs an American
more to do anything than it costs anyone
else in the world. That is the best rea-
son why Americans should buy Liberty
bonds.
The American army is composed of
workingmen. The American working
man demands a higher standard of every
thing than any other workingman in the
world. When he becomes soldier he
carries that standard with him, and
comparatively, gets it.
/ Napoleon SAID. ana everybody ever
since has repeated, that an army travels
on its stomach. So naturally the sub
sistence of the American soldier comes
first in the long bin which is rapidly
running to S50,OO0000 day.
The regular ration list of the American
army calls for forty mine different items
OF food 1t includes many things which
are luXuries to the soldiers of the foreign
armies. AT that, it only costs 32 cents
a day to feed a soldier. The figure is
low because the government has the ad-
vantage of dealing in billions and tons
where the individual deals in dollars and
pounds. Even SO, the army has felt tn,
