LOANS TO OUR ALLIES
Most of the Money Remains Here
for War Materials.
Secretary of the Treasury ExpIsins
How and Why, and the Benefits
Uncle Sam Derives.

The loans made by the United
States to the governments at war with
Germany are arranged by the secretary
of Uncle Sans treasury and submit
ted to the president and made with his
approval.
The secretary states that his judg-
ment in making these loans is deter
mined largely by the monthly require
ments of the applicants. The different
powers, through their duly authorized
representatives, make their repre-
sentations as to their necessities
for carrying on the war; and after dis
cusslon the various amounts are ar
rived at.
These loans, says the secretary, are
essential for our own protection. not
only for our protection in military
way, but for our economic protection
and welfare. The production of the
United States has been speeded up and
greatly stimulated. We are producing
more than our own needs, and our own
economic protection and welfare de-
mand that we sell much of our prod
ucts to our allies. To accomplish this
we must extend these credits to enable
them to buy our products.
Their commercial salvation is an es-
sential part of their effectiveness in
the war, and their commercial well-be-
ing demands that their export trade be
maintained in n considerable measure.
They must keep their civil population
engaged to the extent necessary to sus-
tain their industrial and economic ex-
istence. 1t is sound economic policy
on our part to assist them in maintain
ing their industrial life and economic
welfare.
Very little of the money loaned to
our allies, the secretary states, goes
out of the United States. Most of it
is spent right here for war materials
and foodstuffs. The money we are ad-
vancing is not q contribution; it is
loan, on which they will pay interest
and which ultimately will be repaid in
full. Our allies are looked upon by us
as solvent peoples, without ready mon
ey but with perfectly good credit.
Their expenditures of this money in
this country are supervised by US.
Their purchases are made with the ad-
vice and assistance of our war indus
tries board. This system not only pro-
tects the borrowing ally but prevents
competitive bidding against the other
allies and the United States itself, and
obtains for the borrower the same
prices, the same terms, and the same
treatment our own government de-
mands in making its own purchases.
When one remembers that the loans
made to our allies enable them to do
the fighting that otherwise the Ameri-
can army would have to do at much
expense, not only of men but of money,
money which would not be returned to
us and lives that could never be re-
stored, the wisdom of our policy in
financing our allies is plain to every
one. 1t is not only duty to them that
we are performing in lending them
part of our great wealth; it is great
duty we are performing to our sol
diers and sailors and our nation in
making our allies powerful and effec-
tive, thus lessening the work and dam
ger and suffering for our own men and
in bringing the war to an earlier close

FEEDING SlLAGE TO STOCK
as Roughage for Finished
Stock for Market.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
AS q roughage for finished stock
there is no better or more economical
feed than silage for it produces large
daily gains and aids in keeping the
animals in a healthy condition so that
they can handle other feeds more eff
fectively. An advantage in feeding
silage to beef cattle that is often over
looked, is that it enables the feeder
to carry his stock for long time so
as to pass over a period of depression
in the market.
Silage also can be profitabIy used to
supplement pastures for steers during
q time of drought, when they are be-
ing finished for market.
For many years the belief was gen.
eral that cattle which received silage
as a. major portion of the roughage
would have to be kept in warm barns
and not exposed to the cold. While
they do need protection from the cold
winds and rains and need dry place
to lie down, it has been clearly demon
lIGllSI llttl wal III UttI uo Sti Z llOI olliJ
unnecessary, but that fattened cattle
make both larger and cheaper gains
when fed in the open sheds than when
confined in barns. Stocker or thin cat
tie receiving silage will, Of course,
need more protection than animals
which are being fattened.
The theory that silage-fed cattle
shrink very heavily in shipping to mar
ket is erroneous. While the actual
slirinkage during transit is sometimes
greater, the fill taken at market is
usually good, and if good Judgment
is used in preparing them for shipping
the net shrinkage is no greater than
for cattle which have been fed on dry
feeds. For So hours previous to ship
ping nice bright hay and stoyer should
7ibe substituted for the silage in the
ration.
The general impression that choice
or prime carcasses cannot be made by
the use of succulent feed is equally
untrue, as the silage-fed cattle usually
make more desirable carcasses than
cattle fed similar ration, except that
silage was replaced by one of the
coarse folders. There is no appreciable

FEED WORK HORSES ALFALFA
Bad Practice to Fill Manger Morning,
Noon and Night and Let Animals
Eat All They Want.

Zig method practiced by majority
OF those WHO iiaYe been feeding
alfalfa TO work horses has been to I'LL

allowing the horse to eat all he
wishes. Prairie hay has been fed in
this way without any serious results,
but not SO In the case Of alfalfa hay.

difference in the percentage of market
able meat that steers will dress out
which have been finished on a silage
ration and a dry ration. The meat
seems equally bright and the fat as
well intermixed with the lean.
If silage makes up the bulk Of the
roughage it will be necessary to haul
large amounts of bedding into the
sheds to keep the animals dry, as there
is no waste in siIage, or else make a
cement floor and cover with bedding
to absorb the urine and prevent the
animals from slipping and to give
them warm place to lie down. When
the enormous saving in tne quality and
amount of the feed is considered, this
disadvantage does not seem so hard to
overcome by the stoclman who has the
capital to Put up the silo and pave his
feed sheds or feed lots.

IF you are not one of the fortunate

you can make a good road of it if
drainage has been attended to by the
use of the road drag. Just try it after

THE VOICE OF BULLETS

One hundred steps more would have
brought me inside of Cantigny. But /
was doomed never to enter Cantigny;
just then | went into shell hole. The
reasons that made me drop into the
shell hole were, I think, two. For one,
there was in the crater a wounded
boy, boy shot through the shoulder,
together with three hospital corps
men who were starting to dress him,
and | went in with some vague idea
of offering help.
But also something was after me by
that time. l had not noticed it at
first; that is, when finally 1 became
aware of it. 1t was the knowledge
that it had been going on for quite
a while. Little "Zips' were passing
by me; small, short whispers, hardly
attaining the volume of sound, and
gone almost before they were heard
-discret quick little tips like the
lightest of pencil strokes-Zip, zip, zip,
and zip.
Now and then, though just as brief,
one reached a higher volume of
sound, something like a short cat
meow but more resonant. Pee-oo-
oowl-thus--a spiteful cry. Some
sharpshooter was after men, some
ambushed boChe who did not APP
prove of Golfers Weekly That is
really why ] dropped into the shell
hole--I think-not so very much to
help the three hospital corps men.

Second Empire and later under the
republic. As a boy his ambition was
to be a soldier, and at twenty-six he

The outbreak of the war found the
future Marshal Of France in command

One of the reasons why the country

well is to be found in the fine effect

There was dread at first because in

ways the risk that chance may bring
physical or moral harm. When

response to the call of duty. the eff
