WAR COST RELATIVELY SMALL

Though the futures Of our national
Indebtedness are huge, the ratio Of
our national wealth is very small,
and will probably never reach the ra-
ito developed by Civil War expendi-
lures to the nations wealth as il
then existed.
True, as some may point out, we
have never paid all Of the Civil War
bill, but is was not because we
couldn't. Uncle Sam has treated IL
much as the millionaire individual
who renews from time to time n
$40, 000-note at the bank. II so re-
quested, he could pay IL at any time,
but the bank is glad TO have his
paper, and so IL rocks along without
serious thought from either party.
" the note were 100000 il would
probably have been paid at its first
maturity. So. when Uncle Sam comes
out Of this war with his heavy obi
cations, special arrangements will be
made 20 meet them. Liberty bonds
will be paid-and no one thinks
otherwise.
Our national wealth and our an
nual national income have been esti-
mated at $50 billions and 40 billions
respectively, while our war cxpcndi-
lures viii be. IL is thought, about fif-
teen billions year when our indus
tries IRE fully converted TO war
basis But, ms a matter Of fact, II
the estimate Of our income gave due
consideration TO war prices. the total
would probably be sixty billions in
stead Of forty billions.

OFFICERS FAILED TO VOTE

Many unusual incidents happened
at the State primary last Saturday,
due to the lack of interest in many
parts of the State. In many pre-

cast votes, but the pie goes to a

MIS-. w. X. Richcy, Jr., is in receipt
OF the letter below from her husband,
Capt. Richcy, of the 37lst Infantry,
which took part in the capture of the
ArgOnnc Forest, one of the Stragctic
|strongholds Of the Germans in the
champagne sector. AS is already
known the 37lst regiment is composed
or negro soldiers mostly from this
state, some of them being from this
county. The regiment is commanded
by white officers, among whom are
numbered Capt. Richcy, Lieut.. r. D..
Lake and Lieut.. James c. Todd, Of this
city. Capt. Richcy tells in this letter
OF the fall of Lieut.. Lake, who was
leading his men against heavy ma
chine gun and artillery fire when he
was killed. In all probability he would
have given the names OF any Of his
men from this county if they had been
killed. Leaving out the introduction
and other lines Of a personal nature,
the letter was as follows:
