TOTAL WAR COSTS

The war is costing the United States
government $1S,000,c00,00O a year.
The actual expenditures for July were
$1,50S, 2S2, $50. This is at the rate of
$50, 900, 900 day, or more than $4,000
600 an hour. To make it simpler and
more emphatic, we can say the costs
are $4,000 minute, or $555 second.
But the success of our boys in France
is well worth it. Let's keep them go

Dear Mother:
l heard from home this fore
noon and will write you a letter.
This leaves me fine and dandy
and hope it will find you folks
enjoying the same good blessing.
We are hitting the ball every
day except Sunday and are pre-
pairing for the task that means
so much to all of us. All the
boys seem anxious to cross the
pond. We have read so much
about the front that we are tired
of reading and talking and want
our Camp Taylor boys to be the
ones, or at least, part of the
crew that plucks the Kaiser's
mustache. | know we have a
bunch of fellows that will make
him dance the double shuttle and
he will be glad to do it. Our
boys over there now have them
running like rats and what they
are doing is nothing more
than an advertisement of what
we are going to do. We are so
glad to read of the victories of
cur boys and trust they will con-
tinue the drive. No doubt some
of the 43 Co. which expects to go
across in the near future, will
have the pleasure of chasing
some of those round-heads at
the points of their bayonet. |
am ready to throw up hat and
yell for them at any time. If the
war should close and we did not
get a chance at those dirty muir
derers, we would feel like slack
ers, even after serving all these
long willing hours at Camp Tay-
lor. We don't feel yet like
we have done our bit and won't

lin.

meet a fellow with a khaki uni

see those fellows who are willing
to do their bit but away with a
cowardly Stacker who will hang
around a real soldier, then hide
behind a woman's skirt. We can
pick them out unless they have

These instructions. which original

they proved so popular, were made
necessary because some one In Amer

the troops, calling upon them to cease
resistance and declaring that the Of
ficers advised surrender.
The instructions point out that these
statement, were absolutely false. and
"The person who spreads such an
alarm is, either an enemy in our uni
form or one Of our own troops who Is
disloya1 and a traitor. or one Of our
troops who has become panic

should be shot on the spot. In battle
there is no time to inquire into the
identity or motives of persons who
create panic or Reorganization or
who advise surrender.
at is the duty Of every officer and
soldier to kill on the spot any per-
son who in fight urges any one to
surrender or stop fighting. It makes
no difference whether the person is a
stranger or a friend. an officer or a
