What has the United States done tc wipe out Prussianism? Have we done more than talk? Have we lived up tc expectations-not only our own, but those of England and France?
 In short, have we made good?
 Are we wide-awake, or are we asleep on the job?
 There may be some men or wom- en in Pine Bluff who doubt what we have done, who think we have stalled along amid conversation, statements and official discussion.
 There may be some who are not yet awake. We say may" because we think they must be vastly in the min- ority.
 So let's take an unbiased glimpse at ourselves. Let's see what we have actually done
 Then, if there are still some in Pine Bluff who think we are joking in this war, they simply can't tell a jack rabbit from a linn.
 So here are few concise, sum- marked facts.
 The Army
 When we were hauled into the war Uy tuc dIIOkduCC. dSSICSoIOu anu uH limited gall of the Potsdamania crowd we had the smallest little army of any great nation on earth. Not only small in numbers of men, but small in equipment. The army was so small that even the Mexicans thought they could like it.
 But less than a month after we en- tered the war part of that little army was on it's way lover there." And in two months we had passed the draft law, calling upon able-bodied citizens within the age limites to hcarken to the call of war.
 And within one year after the first American left for France we have a large army on the western front. It

Other organizations have unstint- ingly looked after their members in the army.
 Our War Expenditures
 1fe we had gone into this war in cer ealdl 6lfSSv1 % kspfs lighter grip on our pursesstrings. But we were con- fronted with great crisis in the hu man race in which more money count ed for little.
 We realizeds tafs at once and no at tempt has beeAs made to be pasimon- iOus. SS;Ssss
 The H&&against Germany has cost us $1E:vdb 100000 to date, includ- ing approximately sS,O0O, 100000 loan ed the alHes The cost is counting at the rate .ef $65,O00,000 daily. Com pare this with the civil war which created a sensation when it reached a cost of $1,O0O,000 day. But this war is about 65 times as terrible as the civil war and therefore costs 65 times as much.
 In the middle of May-when finan- cial reoprts were last made public, we had loaned our seven associated in the war $7,O63, 3,S0O,00O, or about half of what the war had cost us up to that time. We are .1oaning them un- stintinglN right along, carrying their burdens as 'well as our own. To do this, We have floated three Liberty loans-and oversubscribed all The first was for two billion dollarA;the; second for more than four billion. and the third for more than four sbilions Exact subscriptions were: First. $3,025, ,226,S50; second, $4,617, ,532, 300; third, $4,150,000, ,00o. There were from 15 to 20 million sub- scribers to the third loan. In ad- dition to this. we are floating $2,000.- 900 of war savings stamps by the end of the year.
 This doesn't look as if we were sleeping financially!
 All our war revenues do not come from loans, however. as those who pay war taxes realize. President Will son is fathering more war revenue
