LAND OF LUXURY.
Great Advance In American Living
Standards.


Standards.
The people Of the United States
have been wholly unconscious OF the
rapidity with which they have ad-
vaaccd from comparative poverty to
unequallcd affluence. says the Ameri-
can Review of Reviews. Most people
in all countries. and through all ages,
have lived close to the border lands
of famine and epidemic. No great
population in all history was ever so
luxurious as the people OF the United
States have been in recent years.
There has been an amazing advance
in the standards of living: and we
should aim TO have both town dwell
ers and country people live still more
deccntly and agreeably in years to
come. But high standard Of living
is compatible with simplicity and
thrift. There are now men living in
Washington who remembered when 1t
was a common thing to see cabinet
ministers. senators and members of
the supreme court going to market in
the morning. with their baskets, and
carrying home the supplies that they
had frugally purchased. 1t is not,
however. a question OF returning to
old ways Of living. but rather n ques-
tion OF utilizing wisely our new ad-
vantages. In his book on America.
written a few years ago. a famous
French Senator, d'Estornelles de Con-
stant, declared that his own country
could live in comfort upon what Amer
leans waste and throw away. When
the French. after their defeat by Ger
many. had to pay an indemnity OF five
thousand francs, the peasants met the
bill out of their savings. At later
period they lent Russia still larger
sums which Russian savings must
some time repay. Meanwhile. our
war bills will be increased with
the new army program, and at least
twenty million different Americans
should by thrift and saving be able to
subscribe for the fourth liberty loan.

ASTONISHING AMERICAN HUSTLE
Frenchman Amazed At the Way
Thinqs Are Done.

Medical supplies require ten entire
buildings for cots. littcrs. mattresses
oxygen tanks and the great stocks o
hospital supplies.
The signal service has two large
buildings and much open storage. will
huge stocks of telegraph and telephone
wire for the army communication sys'
TEN which now spreads all ovel
France.
The warehouses for food, clothint
and all quartermaster's supplies eXtent
along a frontage of several miles. al
the buildings uniform. 500 by fft!
feet. Uniforms. clothing. flour ant
what are called sack goods are KEPT
under cover in the warehouses. but
much of the stock in crates. boxes anc
barrels is stacked along the depot
streets for miles.
The one item of gasoline is huge
thing owing TO the part motor traction
takes in warfare. In one month oui
army will have five million gallons. oil
an average OF five gallons a man fol
an army OF million men. This
means a steady movement OF 10000
barrels a month.
To step into the army refrigerator
on a hot midsummer day is rather q
novel experience. The thermometer
was about 80 degrees as we went
through the yards. but as the colone
opened the door of the big rcfrigera
ting plant we were struck with al
Arctic chill of five degrees below zero
"a drop of 95 degrees as we crossed
the threshold. Inside the workmer
were bundled in fur coats wrapped a
round their ears. The floors were
slippery with frost and the long am
monia pipes above dripped frosted
icicles like stalactitcs in cave
Frost an inch thick covered the burlal
coverings of the big sides and quar-.
tcrs of beef and the beef itself was
frozen solid as stone.
Many Of the workers in this place
are from the big packing houses oI
Chicago Besides more than a million
pounds of frozen meat always or
hands there is olcomargarine, butter
lard and all kinds of fats. II Is arrang.
ed like a ship with water-tight com.
partments. except that these are cold
compartments, so that the freezing Is
carried only to those compartment:
required. No ice is used, as the freez.
ing process Is carried out by the fore.

The German prisoners stockade wa'
rot far beyond. Here some 1000 Ger.
mans are housed and fed, while they
take part in the construction ant
warehouse work. Around the stock
ade runs a wire netting fifteen fee
high. with a number OF armed guards
The prisoners show no desire to ge'
away. and when an exchange Of pris.
oners was .heing carried out not Ions
ago two OF them actually broke dowr
i'm tears at the thought of going bach
to their native land. They sleep or

same as those furnished the labor

their own barracks inside the stockade
wear their uniforms and medals and
have rather comfortable equipment
with spring cots.

COPENHAGEN, May 14.-1n
an interview the PoIitiken
has had with q prominent Ger
man politician, . member Of the
Reichstat, who requested that
his name be not used, this in.
formant said:
I'VE still believe, according to
messages from our military
leaders, that we shall reach tho
north coast, where our guns can
bar navigation of the Channel
and fire at south England.
1T is suggested from the Ger
man side that with this another
stage Of the war will commence,
and, as far as Germany Is con-
cerned, it will be very easy to
start armistice negotiations, as,
despite all assertions, we do not
aim at any conquering. We
want neither the mine districts
Of Lorraine, nor the west
frontier or Antwerp.
1--WE have lost, including killed,
wounded and prisoners, three
million men. Do you think that
we intend to make foolish claims
and send our children through
another four years of war?
Moreover, we shall have enough
to do during the age Of man to
control the new Russian coun-
tries and secure their mercantile
and industrial influence"
