WRITES AGAIN
In France

Dear Mother;
Certain events. have made
lit impossible for me to write
sooner and I. suppose you
will think the worst has
happened. Everything has
been on the go here night
and day. Was in one big
battle not long ago. Sure
was a lively time and work
ed night and day. The bar
rage firing of the great guns
was one continual roar, sha-
king everything around.
The roads were filled with
traffic ahd Red Cross ambu-
lances. 1t was a great sight
at night, the sky a continu-
al flash of red and great
search lights searching for
aircraft. We arrived a few
days ago on another battle
line. Enough to say these
are sights one will never for
get. l saw trees over two
feet through shot off by the
great shells. Also the vii
lagos a ruin of stones, more
goods scattered around than
the homes and stores of Mac
kay and Challis have on
hand. Ruined and deserted
small cities; big fields OF ri
pened grain with no one har
vesting them. They do not
have the great fields we
have in the States, but the
grain beats any for size and
thickness l have ever seen.
I do not know when you
will receive this, those who
are not here do not under
stand. We move any time
night or day and sometimes
in a great rush. Have eaten
and slept with all the odors
of the battlefield days old
near by. The boys of the U.
S. A. have given them hell.
The U. S. soldier has proven
that he is as good as he used
to be when they fought in
'76 and under Lee and Grant
They have had the Hun on
the run for several days. We
made a trip not long ago
two days of many long miles
and two days of box car
rides. We had the rolling
kitchen on the big fiat car
and cooked and served meals
We saw great numbers of
soldiers and many long
trains of Red Cross hospital
cars, fine U. S. made cars.
Was within a mile of Par
is. 1twas quite a treat TO
me. Although very weary
from marching and work, it
was good to be away from
the front for a short time.
Say hello to your friends
and mine.
Please God a short time
until we fix our enemies
then home.
! Your loving son,
Pierce.

Counting tho Cost

= REAT as is the expense Of war, it has
~ not involved the outlay predicted when
the original appropriation and taxation
measures wero laid before Congress. AT
that time il was confidently asserted that
this country and its allies would spend from
fifteen to eighteen billion dollars during the
first year No direct budget was prepared
but the mounting cost Of the various mill
tary, naval and shipping enterprises led the
administration to forecast expenditures
which vastly exceeded those Of any other
nation, now belligcrcnt, i'll any single year
OF the war.
1t is now calculated that the total ex-
pendturc for the first year will not exceed
100000 900, nearly half of which will
be money spent by our allies, and which
eventually will be repaid. This means that
Americas war bill since April s, 1917, will
be somewhat less than 100000, or
approximately $500 900 900 per month OF
this amount. more than $500. 100000 will
be raised by taxation, indicating that the
net increase in tho national debt will be
between So, 100000 and 100000, 900
That the rate OF expenditure was slower
than had been originally anticipated was
clearly indicated when the third Liberty loan
was announced, and bonds in the sum of
$4,000 900 600 fixed as the limit, instead of
S5,0Oo,ooo,00o or S600O,000,O00 as had
been generally expected. This loan, of
course, is to finance war activities to the
end OF the fiscal year, and not to tho end
OF the first year of war, but the size of it
was an assurance that the government had
been able to carry forward all it's plans Mt

was believed possible in the beginning
