Soldiers Sing War Songs on
 Main Street
Troops En-Route "Some- where" Attract Much
 Attention Here.

A full battalion of National guards men, singing their war songs while their regimental band played, attract ed the attention of all Pine Bluff yes terday.
 The troops were passing through from where and whither bound it is forbidden to say. nor can we disclose what troops they were. During their short stay in Pine Bluff Major ---- i've nearly slipped)-paraded his troops on Main street, and there as the band played martial airs, the boys sang the marching songs that will soon be heard on the road to Berlin.
 While no information could be giv- on as to where the boys were going, many fair heart fluttered as the whisper "They are going to France!' was passed thru the crowd, and many an enforced stay-at-home passed them by with set lips and suspicious red ness about the eyes.
 This is not the first body of troops to pass thru. but one of the largest to parade in a body on the street Un- fortunately the censor is strict, and newspapers are placed on their honor not to say too much about troop movements of any kind-for who knows where there might be an emis- sarv of the Kaiser with instructions to stop the movement of that particu- lar body of American boys.

 Soon after the outbreak of war, the Canadian Pacific Railway began training women to fill positions made vacant by enlistments. There were many such vacancies. Today they total nearly nine thousand. At first women were considered only for of flee work and it was not long before they were to be found in offices all along the line. Then came the call for car cleaners. The women re- sponded. Engine wipers were need ed. Again the women stepped up to do the work. Every time a new call developed the women were ready for it. On November 14th a new fashion in ticket sellers was put out at Moose Jaw when Miss Jean Ellis took her place at the ticket window. No doubt this fashion will be widely copied on both sides of the line.

The women of the United States are in the first flush of enthusiasm of volunteering to do mems work. Daily we read of their entrance into hitherto closed lines of labor. New York City is becoming accustomed to khaki garbed women street car conductors; smartly uniformed girl elevator operators; nattily clad the ater ushers, and trim businesslike postgirls.
 Because of the much smaller popu- lation of Canada and it's earlier en- tranc. into the war, it's women were long since called upon to do the ab- gent mems work. They have become an accepted faeture, attracting little or no attention today. It is not the uniform that has lured the Canadian girls into "doing their bit" It has been the desire to help. Many of the positions filled by women across the border have no attractive fea- lures. It is duty-plain duty-that keeps the women in them.

Mr.. Macmillan added that seaplanes
would probably be more desirable than
airplanes. since in the summer the ice
fields are covered with pools of water.
If the ice was clear airplanes might
prove adaptable. He does not think
balloons will be successful. since they
must depend on the winds.
How fast can aeroplanes travel

Traitors Should Be Shot.

Elihu loot, head of the United
States mission to Russia, in his IA
nous speech 5efore the Union League
Club of New York City on August 10Th,
in q severe denunciation of the Ger
man propagandists in America, de-
clared: There are men walking about
the streets OF this city tonight that
ought to be taken out at sunrise to-
morrow and shot for treason. They
are doing their work under false pre-
tense; they are processing to be for
the country and they are lying every
day and in every word. They are GOV
ering themselves with the cloak oil
pretended Americanism, and II we are
competent and firm for our liberty we
And every one OF us can help, not by
talking to each other about what We
hear, but by carrying to the authori'
ties charged with the pursuit and de-
lection Of traitors. all the information
re can gather There are some news
papers published in this city every
day, the editors OF which deserve con
viction and execution for treason. And
sooner or later they will get IT."
Thus Americas greatest patriot and
statesman warns his fellow country
men of the nations greatest peril, and
the American Defense Society has
brought this issue to federal recogni'
ton which will undoubtedly be fol-
lowed by more definite action against
all publications OF this nature.

Sources Of War Finances

SOURCES OF war FIHSHoeU.
The United States Ia financed in the
war by loans and taxes. 1t. obtains
funds from the people by taxation and
sale OF bonds, then goes into the mar
kets and buys from the people what IL
needs. "Sa'-''-7l- se: ..l.r& - -
There are three sources from which
the country can draw Its sinewsSof
war. First is the fixed property eof
the nation; representing farms, fac
tories, mines, railways, and all other
property, including accumulated say-
ings From the body Of none of these
except accumulated savings, will the
government obtain war funds, land
even from accumulated savings 1t will
draw a relatively small portion. They
are invested in businesses and indus
tries necessary to the; country's wei
fare 1t Is only that portion OF these
savings that is seeking investment,
that the government will receive in ex-
change for bonds. *l.e%
The second and great source 10 q
tax on the wealth produced during the
war. The annual production Of farms.
mines, factories and other sources
amounts to fifty billion dollars year,
and out of this will come the funds
with which the country will finance
itself.
BY taxation this generation will pay
its proportion Of the costs of the war
BY the sale of bonds, the third source
of income, the next generation Is call
ed upon to pay it's portion and this
will come from the wealth produced
after the war.
BY these three methods the capital
of the country, its sources OF income
and wealth, are unimpaired. 1t is but
the yearly increment Of this property
that is called upon to bear portion
OF the cost of the war. Thus despite
the waste or war inc country may
emerge from the conflict stronger H.
nancially and even more wealthy than
before. The government receives funds
from the people without impairing the
sources OF wealth, and passes 1t back
in exchange for the products OF the
country. "5FG -.'se
