INCREASE IN ARMY SINCE START
OF WAR MORE THAN $500
PER CENT

One Of the interesting Develop
ments of the war, according to a
statement authorized by the War
Department, is the rapid expansion
of the various bureaus of the War
Department. Al the outbreak Of the
war, there were less than 5000 en-
ployees on duty. The number now Is
approximately 25,0O0. an increase
Of 800 per cent. While this repre-
sents a tremendous expansion. the
increase in the Army itself has been
more than 1900 per cent.
Only Z out Of every 100 officers
in the service were in the Army at
the time the war began.
The increase in personnel at the
administrative end OF the war has
not kept pace with the growth Of
the Military Establishment.

according 10 q statement authorized
b. the War Department A Sta

graphers, gives all its time TO the
maintenance Of files Of soldiers

notifies relativ0
A copy Of the roster OF each con-
tingent sailing 10 join in the Ex-
peditionary Forces, is filed in card
index fashion. each card bearing the
name Of one soldier. his organiza-
ton and the name and address OF
parent or other relative or friend
designated by him TO be notified in
emergency. When casualty list
is received from Gen. Pershing, each
name cabled from the American En-
peditionary Force is listed with the
emergency address on the file in
the card index. As rapidly as the
new list with emergency addresses
is built up. the telegraph clerks get
duplicates. These clerks already
are supplied with blank kilograms
which require only the relatives

casualty and the date, and filling in
the blank spaces. they get the tele-
grams of as quickly as possible.
In addition 10 maintaining the tele-
graph blanks for the sake Of speed,
the statistical division is supplied
with sets Of form letters TO be fill
ed in and mailed when further de-
tails are available.
While relatives are generally in
receipt Of information within %
hours after the cables are received,
delays are sometimes due to clerical
errors caused by the fact that
names must pass through so many
hands in France and in America,
incorrect emergency addresses turn
ed in by soldiers, removal OF fami-
lies TO addresses other than those
listed. and the occasional necessity
for cabling back TO Gen. Pershing u

Aside from these four causes OF
delay the only reason for the fail

erection. withhold a casualty list

military value 10 the enemy.

REVENUE FOR ROADS
BY Rodman Wiley

lfw will only pause for a moment
and observe. II will be apparent t1
everyone that the roads in practical
~ all of the counties are getting
worse each year. There is a reason
for everything. and in this case the
principal reason is the lack Of rev.
enue TO maintain the thoroughfares,
under the change in traffic condi-
tions and increased price Of every
thing that enters into road work.
The counties must have more
revenue Immediately, because II the
matter is very much longer delayed
the entire road system OF the vari-
Gus counties will have 10 rebuild, en-
tailing an expenditure in most in
stances in each county Of several
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars.
The people are not cOntented
without roads. They will HAVE
roads. no matter what they cost :
and when their entire highway
system has been destroyed, they will,
perhaps. WAKE UP. but IL would
seem 10 be very much better il the
people would only take warning and
provide extra revenue by voting the
21 cent road tax. II would enable
the authorities % preserve the roads
while they are in condition TO be
saved.
u is certainly patriotic TO main
tain roads at this time so as TO
haul the products Of the farm 10
market as cheaply as possible, and
also 10 relieve the congestion Of the
railroads.
4 careful study has been made OF
the road conditions in the entire
state and I know beyond doubt
that the various counties have not
half enough funds for road pur-
poses.
Other states have increased their
expenditures 10 meet the changed
conditions. why can't we be alive

NEARLY ALL ARTILLERY FOR
AMERICAN ARMY TO BE
MOTORIZED

MOtOrization Of field artillery will
be carried TO greater extent in the
American Army than in any other
army engaged in the war. Not only
will a far greater amount Of motor
equipment be provides in proper
ton TO the strength Of the Army,
but il will be used for work where
armies now i'm the field depend
solely on horse power and man
power.
The Ordnance Department has
succeeded in developing such types
Of tractors that, exclusive Of the
heaviest field artillery mounted on
railroad carriages, all American ar
tillery will be motorized, with the
exception Of some Of the 3-inch-
gun batteries. The problem Of
motorization Of field artillery is a
difficult one. which explains why
il has not been carried 10 a greater
extent than has been the case with
the armies that have been fighting
in Europe for the last three years.
The possible output Of tractors
for the transport Of field artillery
in the United States is practically
unlimited. whereas the supply Of
horses is at present limited and is
becoming more so each month.

This is one of three types Of machine

that the gun can be fired by the
pilot of a combat plane through the
revolving blades.
Airplane propellers revolve from
800 to 1000 revolutions per minute.
The machine gun is connected with
the engine by a mechanical or ny
draulic device and impulses from
the crank shaft are transmitted to
the machine gun. The rate OF fire
of the machine gun is constant and
its fire is synchronized with the re-
volving propeller blades by vast
ing" a certain percentage Of the
impulses it receives from the air
plane engine and by having the re-
naming impulses trip or pull the
trigger so that the gun fires just at
the fraction Of the second when the
propeller blades are clear Of the line
Of fire.
The pilot operates the gun by
means of lever which controls the
circuit and allows the impulses 10
trip the trigger.

Prior to the war this job paid in New

against their maximum, or, expressed
III dollars, difference of $3.50 a

petitor in operating against our manu-

The wage differential itself has in
creased 80 per cent in favor of Great
Britain and against US when it comes
to matter of competition, or from
$3.50, before the war, to S23.25 as it
stands now. As a matter of fact
wages are increasing here more rapid
y than they are in Great Britain, and
Great Britain (since the example of
cotton cloths has been used) has in
,reased her exports of those goods to
the United States 100 per cent over
protected years. The American labor
cr ought to keep his mind on these
things. He can not expect life to be
