War Expenses and Wealth.

Somewhere in Washington--it is
phrase much more nebulous than
Somewhere in France"-it has been
computed that this country begins the
year 1918 with national debt over five
times greater than when it entered the
war nine months ago; and that the
present debt is "only one-third OF the
debt which promises to develop by the
first of next year"
Granted the validity Of this estimate
as TO the future, it would have beer
Just as we'll to add that the present
national debt at the total given
IS, 6I5, 900, 000-is to the national wealth
about as ! TO "A or to %. II at the
end OF 1918 we shall have national
debt of SIG, 845, 900, 900, we shall be re-
latively no worse off than man who
mortgages his $4,000 building for
81 600 to secure money for freproohug
alterations.
1t is worth while to compare our war
expenditures with single item of the
national income. Take the largest es-
innate of the cost Of our first year OF
war, including loans to other countries.
1t is s2l, OOO,0OO,OOO. That amazing
figure also represents the value OF the
crops OF the United States for the year
1917. AS $1,000 100000 or SO of the
sum mentioned is merely lent, two
thirds OF the value Of our years crops
would foot our war bill.-New York

Seaman Worthy Of His Uniform.

A cry for help never goes unheeded
when there is a man of the United
States navy standing by. No matter
wherein land at sea, in calm or
storm, daylight or dark-he is quick
to respond and ready to take the
chance that makes rescue possible.
An instance of this Is reported from
Newport, r. l., where the bravery of
Robertson McGregor, fireman, third
class, attached TO the naval training
school at that place, has just been
rewarded by letter of commentator
from Secretary Daniels. 1t was night
and unusually dark when McGregor
heard the cry of help coming from the
bay. Rushing to the water, he located
the sound, and without any further
hesitation jumped overheard and
swan In the direction of the cry
There were no more cries, but, sens
ing his direction, the fireman kept on
swimming until he came across a body.
1t was an apprentice seaman, who had
become unconscious in his fight for
life. Although still wearing his cloth
ing, McGregor took hold of his man
and brought him safely TO the shore.
This man only enlisted In the navy last
May having been recruited at Albany,
n. Y. His mother, Mrs. Margaret Nc
Gregor lives on Maple street at Lee,
Mass.

BETR0THAL OF THE JUNGLE
Maiden and Intended Each Supposed
to Mediate on ACCESSIBILITY OF
Union Before Ceremony.

A second beating of tomtoms thIn'
dered through the barrio. The bride
was coming Down an avenue made
for her by women of the tribe slowly
crept the tiny figure. 1t was draped
in the softest eastern stuffs; JeWeled
anklets and bangles tinkled merrily
A gauzy veil of wondrous workman
ship swathed the figure, but through II
Piang recognized his beloved Papita.
Slowly she approached; fearfully she
raised her eyes to the man who await
ed her, Florence Particle Stuart writes
in st. Nicholas. Her little feet fal-
tered, and Papita leaned heavily
against the woman who supported her.
But at that moment Piang gave a
strange whistle, three soft notes of u
nina bird floated over the barrio and
Paplta became suddenly alive. Again
the notes stole through the jungle. The
bride threw back her veil.
1.-THE unwilling maid seems to have
forgotten her VICE." said one scornful
woman to another.

mony that was to last all night. 1t
was filed with weird chants to which
Papita responded with renewed vigor.
But her eyes furtively glanced toward a
spot near the curve of the creek where
a slender reed swayed increasingly.
After several hours the priestess
led the way to the water and Ynoch
placed Papita in her gala vinta and
pushed her out into the stream. He
got into another and the two boats
nosed each other while the crowd show
cred them with oils and perfumes.
When the command came to part, the
boats shot off in opposite directions.

supposed to mediate, In Oriental fash

The instructors In the branch Of the
Girls Industrial school, which meets
at the Flanner Guild, were surprised
when the school opened few weeks
ago to find a class Of boys ready and
anxious to begin work.
Don't you understand this school Is
for girls only?" asked one of the teach
ers.
Eyes, we heard that, but what's the
difference? We want to learn to sew"
The teachers were in a quandary
but finally decided to give the boys
their first lesson with the needle; but
the sight Of the boys sewing caused
the girls much merriment, and made so
much confusion that it was decided to
bar them.
They appeared the next Saturday
however, and begged so hard to be
taken In that they are now regular fix
lures. The work they do Is equal to
that of the girls, and the teachers are
proud Of them. They take more than
the usual amount Of interest and spend
all of the time they are in school at
work.-Indlanapolls News.

Germany and Revolt.

So many stories OF unrest In Germany
have come TO Us through neutral chan
nels that it is reasonable TO believe
that there cannot be 50 much smoke
without some fire. Germany has not
been able TO draw food from Russia
and the Boshevkl Government has
blocked plans to import it from Ukrai-
MIA by capturing Kiev, the capital OF
the new republic. The situation is
critical, but we do not know the truth,
Reports that a million work people
are In strike in Berlin are obviously
false. The city does not contain that
number Of industrial employees. This
story has been modified in later reports,
but IL discredits all the other tales and
leaves the outside world in the dark.
II is suspicious circumstance that
such stories get past the German cen
sors. They may be circulated for the
purpose Of slowing up American pre-
paredness for war. II would serve
Germanys purpose II we waited for
revolution in that country 10 end the
war. II military pressure from the
outside is relieved a revolution will
never take place.
The German people have endured 80
many privatons and are SO thoroughly
disciplined by their military masters,
that they are less likely TO rebel now
than in the earlier stages OF the war.
They are more likely TO commit suicide
al home than 10 court death at the
lannon's mouth In the streets. The
chance Of revolution lies in the army
itself and the General staff evidently
fears that the Russian revolution will
weaken the loyalty Of the soldiers on
the eastern front. Every German sol.
der remembers that the submarines
were 70 end the war In few months.
The first year Of ruthless submarine
wareiare has expired and England still
has food. Instead Of winning the war,
this campaign Of frightfulness brought
America into the conflict and counter.
balanced the effects Of Russia break
down. Soldiers whose courage has
been buoyed up by false hopes are
prone TO turn on those who deceived
them. II part Of the army refused u
obey orders a revolution might sweeT
the land, but the people cannot rise
against this army. The Russian revo.
luton was In the army. The Kaiser
does not fear the people while the army
remains loyal to him. II there is q
German revolution the FIRST news Of IL
will be the shooting Of officers by their
men. Until that happens rioting In
cities will amount to nothing. When
the Cossacks refused TO fire on the moi
in Petrograd 1t was i over with the
Car. When German soldiers do like,
wise the Kaiser will know what Ii

For the draft army 2,5l0, FOG men
have been examined. OF these l,779,-
$50 were accepted by the examining
boards, for physical qualifications. The
rejected men numbered 100, 1856 The
percentage OF rejected men was 29.l, as
against % per cent Of reJections dur
ing the war between the states.
These figures, taken from the report
OF Provost Marshal General Crowder
to the Secretary Of War, dispose of the
statements, previous to the war, that
were made by advocates Of prepared
ness who believed military training the
sine qua non of the maintenance Of
physical manhood in a great nation.
The physical requirements for mill
itary sertic are higher now than they
were in the sixties, The physical ex
amnations for the draft army have
been made under less stress OF excit-
ment, and have been conducted with
the purpose Of keeping the unfit out OF
the draft rather than for the purpose
Of recruiting large army as rapidly as
possible.
"a decided improvement is indicated
during the past two generations, in
the language Of the report, Sin view Of
the great advance Of medical diagnosis
and physical perfection.
Physically the American Of the
Twentieth century is perhaps the SUI
perior Of his pioneer ancestors. AS a
soldier he will prove fully equal to the
coonists who fought the British, or
the Americans OF the North and South
who fought each other in the sixties.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1918

That only about $50 American SOL
diers were lost when the German sub
marine sunk the Tuscsnia while more
than 20O0 were saved, is victory Of
Allied efficiency over the boasted Ger
man efficiency. 1t was not to be eI'
pected that the American troops would
get to France without losses. That SC
many have been dispatched safely, and
that so few have been lost proves the
adequacy OF the means Of protection
employed and the discretion OF the
officers in charge Of the difficult work
of transporting our troops. War with
out casualties is not looked for. The
loss of these soldier boys is painful
loss to all Americans, bereavement
especially to Wisconsin and Michigan,
tragedy TO many homes, but that SC
many were saved is reassuring.

You Must Speed Up.

DR.. james, the eminent psychologist
of Harvard, declared that most men
use less than one-third of their power.
They resent demands that call forth
more than the average and, of course,
remain average. It's the challenge of
the unusual that goes deep enough
into life to increase your worth. Gen.
eral wage increase is an evidence OF
the rise in living costs. Economically
you may be poorer than you were with
smaller pay under different conditions.
It's when you receive an increase that
others don't get that shows you more
deserving It's speeding ahead of the
average that shows the stuff that's In
you. You must speed UP to show it,
