THE MARINE HYMN

From the Halls of Montezuma-
 To the shores of Tripoli, We fight our country's battles
 On the Land as on the Sea; Admiration of the Nation
 We're the finest ever seen, And we glory in the title of UNITED STATES MARINE. From the Hell Hole of Cavite
 To the Ditch of Panama, You will find them very needy
 Of Marines-That's what we are; We're the watch dogs of pile of coal Or we dig a magazine, Though our iob-lots they are manifold Who would not be a MARINE? Our flags unfurled to every breeze
 From dawn to setting sun, We have fought in every cline and place Where we could take a gun; In the snow of far-off Northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes, You will find us always on the job
 THE UNITED STATES MARINES. Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve, In many a strife we have fought for lire And never lost our nerve; If the Army and the Navy
 Ever look on Heavens s scenes, They will find the streets are guarded py THE UNITED STATES MARINE.

Germanv's Designs

From Russia and German Policy,H by
 Lathrop Stoddard, in the American Re-
 view of Reviews.
 The virtual extinction of Rumania as ar independent state greatly facilitated Germany's military occupation of the Ukraine already mentioned. It also paved the way for still more ambitions Teutonic moves. The nature of German action in South Russia and the Black sea basin during the last few months proves conclusively that Germany re- gards the Ukraine as a mere stepping stone towards the near and middle east In the early summer of the presen. year German troops traversed the en- tire Ukraine and reached the Crimean peninsula. where the native Tartar pop ulaton had proclaimed it's independence, refused to recognize Ukrainian claims to sovereignty, and displayed a wish to re- vive the old connection of the Crimea with the Ottoman empire, Germany is also apparently meditating military oc- cupation of Transcaucasia. Here the native Christian races (Georgians and Armenians) are combating the Turks, who desire to possess the country, while holding down the native Tartar minor ity, which, as in the Crimea, is pro-

Washington, September 2.-seventeen months of war have cost the United States government S17, ,3Ss, ,6S1, ,s42-a billion dollars a month. This rate has increased so rapidly, however, that August expenses ran up to sl,SO5, ,513, ,222 or neary S2O0.0Oo GOO more than the hagAest preuous record set in July
 These figures from the treasury show that less than one and one-h half years ot modern warfare have cost the United States more than four times the combined Union and Confederate outlays for three years of the civil war, calculated at $, 660, 900 for the Union and $l ,500,0 O0) for the Confederates
 The report also shows double the rate of increase in expenditures estimated by the government in June. then set at SlO0,- OOO,00O more each month, If this rate continues. expenses for the year ending next June 30 will be much more than the s240o0 900 estimated, and the country may be called on to absorb more than the $l6. .000, ,Oo0 of Liberty Bonds now tenta- lively planned.
 The treasury report also shows further that of the 17.SSs 0o0,000 cost of the war to date. $l09 9S9, GOO has been spent for ordinary war purposes and S6245, 764000 has gone as financial aid to the allies.

James Chalmers. an Englishman, was the first to conceivet the idea of the postage stamp as at present used. In August. 1884, he drew a sample or an adhesive stamp and then printed a few gummed copies. The English gov ernment adopted his adhesive stamp, a'ccording to a decree of December Fl. 1Ss9 and issued the first stamp for nublic use on May G. 1S4o A year later the stamp was introduced ihto the United States and Switzerland, and soon afterward in France, Bel gium and Bavaria.

the immediate prosecution of the war and not, as some are inclined to be- lieve to a lack of demand. With this reduction in the number of autono- piles, it is reasonable to assume that the demand for them will be greater after the end of the war, so that tho additional buildings and equipment now engaged in work for the govern ment, will be used after the war to supply this increased demand. In ad- Gition, American automobile manufac- turers will be ready to enter the for eign fields with their product under advantages never before accorded them These advantages will come through the releasing of ships into an American merchant marine and the fact that other nations must of neces- sity engage largely in their own re- construction

Turkish. The Germans game in both these regions seems to be to play off local rivals and finally to seat himself as arbiter and master should Germany succeed in establishing herself in Trans caucasia she would stand on the thres- hold of the middle east. for just beyond lies Persia, while beyond Persia are Afghanistan and India. That Germany enterta ins far-reaching middle eastern designs seems clear from clause in the Brest- -Litovsk treaty whereby the bol- shevik government renounced all Rus sias special rights and claims in Per sia and Afghanistan.
 Such. briefly slletched. are the Ger man plans regarding Russia and the ad- jacent east. Daring in conception, grandiose in scope. and displaying an indubitable knowledge of local conditions they yet exhibit a disregard for the deep CT moral factors which presages ulti- mate failure despite temporary success In fact, the Teutonic empire Of lalS wears the same air of theatrical unreal ity as did the Napoleonic empire Of lSll just before the Moscow campaign.

This will be repaid eventually, and con- sequently may be deducted in calculating the net war expenses to the United States government.

This indicates that only l9 per cent of war expenses to date have been drawn directly from the pockets Of the people and that Fl per cent has come from popular borrowings which will ne cessitate heavy tax levies long after the war.

THE BOOSTER.

What would Phoebe be without
a booster? Ever stop to ask yourself
whether you are boosting or just
hanging on?
The booster is the fellow who takes
hold of a forlorn hope and, by his
cheerful optimism and bulldog per-
severance keeps hammering away till
he accomplishes his object.
Little difficulties do not trouble the
booster. He fattens on them, lie Is
so red-blooded that he scorns an easy
walk-over in any undertaking. lie
usually hunts for game worth while,
and in all such hunts the difficulties
are numerous and great, But he goes
at them with will to win, and WILL
is the only quality under God
heaven that will win.
The booster doesn't see the faults
and failings of your town, or IL he
does see them, he passes them by
with smile and cheerful prophecy
that they will soon be remedied. He
sees only the bright side, and he so
constantly plays up that bright side
that after a while you just naturally
come to the conclusion that 1t far
outweighs the dark, which is very
sensible of you, though you should
have been helping him all along to
bury the dark and hold up the light.
But don't get it under your hat that
boasting Is boosting The two are as
widely different as daylight and dark,
The boaster is satisfied, the booster
Is ever reaching out for more. The
boaster proudly calls attention to
what we HAVE, but the booster calls
attention to what we CAN have II we
display sufficient energy. The boaster
lives in the glory of the present, but
the booster is ever looking to the
future and planning new and greater
achievements.
Be booster. Get under the load
and help tote"

ought to be kept at home. We can
