French, British and German fleets we
will have q sea power four times the
American feet, and we will soon de-
stroy her little insignificant feet, then
we will make the United States pay
the whole war indemnity. l wilImake
her pay US her many billions Of dollars

the Kaiser, Mexico will help US whip
the United States and We will give her
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico for
indemnity.
After q hundred years Of boasting
that liberty's home is in Americs. the
powers Of evil now challenge America
to prove that free men in q free gov
eminent can maintain their liberties.
The unconquerable spirit Of America
must be aroused to . greater pitch.
The self-denial and dauntless devotion
that created America must be- exer-
clsed to save America. The fate of a
free world hangs upon the will and
spirit Of the people Of America. The
people of the United are compelled to
test bv battle whether this Republic
10 to live or die.
When we read of the billions Of dol
lars and the millions Of lives this war
Is costing. it is too appalling for our
minds to dwell upon. will give the
readers Of the Press some figures as to
the cost both in dollars and lives.
The total cost up to August LIST. 1917
was s98, 500, 900, 0O0 it is estimated
that by Aug. lst 1918 it will reach the
staggering total of 100000, 200. 600.
Now let US see what this stupendous
sum means. it is larger than the wealth
Of any nation on the globe except the
United States. Now let US make a
few comparisons. we will take the cost
up 10 Aug. lst 1917 s9s.5OO, 600, 600 this
stupendous sum would construct 25s
Panama Canals, 1t would build rail-
road encircling the earth at the equa.
tor fifty six times; 1t would buy two
hundred and twenty one million Ford
automobiles; 1t would build enough
steel ships IL placed bow to stern, to
reach from New York to Liverpool
and from New York to Panama; II
represents a daily expenditure Of slSS,
2iO for every day since Christ was
born; and If laid in one dollar bills
placed end to end 1t would make q
chain of notes that would eucircle the
globe aga times and would make Is
bands of money from the earth to the
