WHEN A CUP OF

He Got His Cup and Then

Through the establishment OF the
line of communication canteens IN
France the American Red Cross is set
ting records in serving hot coffee, CO.
Goa and sandwiches to the troops. one
of these refreshment units made an
other new record recently, serving
more than $4,000 meals in one week.
At another a cup of coffee was served
every ten seconds for a period of tw"
consecutive hours.
In a single week these lines Of COM
munication cantecns often serve SO,oOU
American and French soldiers.
Soldiers in Box Cars.
Do our soldiers and their allies req!
ly want this form of Red Cross serv
ice? A letter from a young American
aviator. a 1917 graduate of Princeton
University, is probably typical. II
might be added that this man has since
been reported killed after br!n=in2

BUILD BIG SIEGE
GUNS FOR ARMY

Chicago, May 25-As an evidence
of it's supreme confidence in the out
come of the war, the War Depart
ment, it became known today, is pre-
pairing for the manufacture of gigan-
tic siege guns TO be used in leveling
German Notifications when the enc
my shall have been driven back from
the occupied positions of France and
Belgium, says the Washington cor
respondent of The Chicago Tribune in
a dispatch received here last night.
The mammoth new plant to be con-
structed for the Government by the
United States Steel Corporation on
Neville Island, near Pittsburgh, will
be used primarily for the manufac-
ture of the giant guns counterparts
of the mammoth Krupp guns that
leveled the Notifications of Antwerp
and Liege.
The dispatch further says:
Negotiations are practically COM
pleted for the construction of sec
ond huge ordnance plant by the Mid
vale Steel Company near Philadelphia.
This plant also will be used for con-
struction of great siege guns.
1.-THE amount of money to be ex-
pended in the Midvale gun plant has
not been announced, but it is planned
to construct one approaching in size
the $70,000,0 900 plant which the Steel
Corporation will construct at Neville
| Island.
plans for the quantity construc-
ton of the siege guns have been I'M
dertaken as preparedness measure
for the day in the future when they
may be called into play. The guns
also can be used, however in field
operations against ammunition depots
back of the line and in destruction of
pill boxes and dugouts.

WAR FINANCE
CORPORATION

The Federal reserve banks will
continue to finance business and in
dustry; the function of the War Fl
nance Corporation is to finance the
investment banking of the country.
The functions of the banks and the
corporation are Complementary and
full cooperation may be expected.
The War Finance Corporation will
start business with a capital stock
Of $5O0,000,00O, all subscribed by the
United States Government, and will
have authority to issue bonds to the
extent of $4,000, 100000 with which
to finance it's operations.
The corporation will make loans
to banks and trust companies making
loans to finance Operations neces-
sary or contributory to the prosecu-
ton of the war" These loans will
be made for periods not exceeding
five years and in sums not more than
10 per cent of the face value of the
loans made by the borrowing banks
to finance Operations necessary or
contributory to the prosecution of the
war" The notes of the borrowing
banks taken by the corporation for
these loans will be secured by ade-
quate collateral.
The corporation may also make
loans to savings banks and building
and loan associations under certain
circumstances, and may in some cases

sential to the war.
Just as a large amount of the
man power of the nation must be
devoted to war purposes and a. very
great portion of the material and
supplies of the Nation must be de-
voted to the same purpose, just so a
great deal of the money and the
credit Of the country must be divert
