pleasant, not merely not unpleasant; !;

following: During mimic warfare
practice a corporal had made a blum

have cost his squad their lives. His

German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
45-caliber automatic pistols has
brought about change in the equip
ment of the American Expedftionary
forces by the war department and the
ordnance department is rushing pro-
duction of these weapons. About 5000
are turned out daily and production is
increasing. The impression exists that
a shot from an American 45 takes
man out of action completely. Men
hit from the smaller German pistols
frequently continue in action effec-
lively. The .45 caliber was adopted
by the United States army in 1911
Despite the heavy increased demand
for these pistols the ammunition
branch of the ordnance department
has effected a saving during the past
two calendar months of nearly s., ,000,-
000 mostly on small-arms ammunition.
The total savings by the ordnance
department for these two months
through salvage, waste prevention and
the utilization or sale of discarded ma
terials have aggregated $S,757, OPS.
| Cost of Vickers machine guns has been
reduced $32235 each; Colt machine
guns, S2s4.16 each; Lewis machine
guns, So EACH Government rifles
now cost 500 each, reduction of SIS

The army has sufficient veterina-
rians, Surgeon General Gorgas an
nounces. Examinations for commits
sions in the veterinary corps have
closed. There is a waiting list of
those eligible to commissions and un-
til this list is exhausted there will be
no more examinations. The corps has
LOO officers and 10000 enlisted men
on active duty.
Veterinary graduates called by the
draft will enter the army service as
privates. Later they will be allowed
to take examinations for veterinary
officer commissions to fill vacancies.
Men over the draft age and under
forty may enlist as privates and secure
an equal chance with selected men for
commissions. One hundred men are
graduated each month from the train
ing school for commissioned veterinary
officers on active duty at Camp Green

them. The British planes closed on
the nearest German and opened fire.
Two more hostile planes then appeared

while three other enemy planes passed
astern. The two British planes dived
and speeded westward under continu-
Gus volleys from the rear. One of the
Germans disappeared.

DEMAND FAIR DEAL

War prisoners nowadays are supposed O be paid wages, which is fair enough, sec ng that they are generally forced to work or their captors. Germany and the United States are now engaged in controversy IS to how much their respective prisoners shall receive.
 Germany proposes to pay her American prisoners the same wages she pays her own soldiers. That in itself seems fair enough. But Germany also demands that we pay 1m German prisoners the same wages we pay our own soldiers. And inasmuch as ,ur private soldiers get about a dollar a lay while Gcmany's get ten cents day, he onc-sidedncSS of Gemany's proposal obvious.
 If accepted, it would mean that our ncu. when captured and put to work by he enemy, would receive only one-tenth as much pay as they are accustomed to, while he Germans captured by our troops would cccivc ten times as much as they are ac- ustomed to. And the food and lodging provided for prisoners in this country are f course much superior to Germany's.
 Our government is holding out for a chcdulc that would give an identical al- owaucc to prisoners on both sides. Under he circumstances that would be a gencr- us arrangement. Nothing less should be cccptcd by the United States.-Tacoma Tribune.

AMERICAN CASUALTIES

A summary of the casualties and vital statistics of the American cXpeditionary force since Ohc arrival of the first contm- gent in France up to May s last, indicates that more mcu have been lost through dis ease than through fighting at the front. The statement. however, by mo means glmpses the rul American loss, for the reason that since May s strong forces of Pcrshmg's soldiers lave been fighting in Picardy and sustaining many casualties.
 Gen. Pcrshug reports more than 5000 casualties up to May $. Of these, 397 men were killed in action. PIT killed by acci- dent. 2}7 were lost at sea, l.O0l died of dis casr. 13S died of wounds, 59 died of gas and other causes. civilian deaths ', the to- raI number of deaths being 2,O6O. There have been 2S24 soldiers wounded 49 cap mcd by the enemy and 75 are missing Computed upon am average of 50OOOO Am crjrm soldiers in France during the past five months. the casualties in that time have been slightly more than 1 per cent, and the deaths from all causes have been less than ouc-half of per cent
 Until recent weeks the opportunities ror casualties have been limited. The sol dicIs have been out of range of trouble, in training camps and mobilization ccntcrs Now thcv are being shifted to the battle lines. mj for some weeks am important share in the trench work has been under taken It is mof'icially stated that ap- proNimatcly 5000 soldiers a day are going to France. and that the total American force in France is now somewhere between 100000 and 100000. With growing re- responsibilities and numbers, the casualty lists for the next six months must show greater losses. It is the daily nibblmg on the lines. the sortics and am occasional drive that swell the casualty lists. The quicker America arrives in France in force the quicker shall we end the sappmg of Amcri- cam lives by determined action.-Scattlc post-mtclIigcucer

GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF

Did you ever notice that most men fail ,ccausc of timidity! They appear to fear 9 take chance at the translation of their
 rcams into hard fact. In other words
 hey doubt themselves. And if you should akc a census of the big men in this country
 ou would find them all agreed on this romt. The man who doubts himself finds hat everyone else doubts him. As mat cr of fact. you cannot be sure of a man if hat man is not sure of himself. Because
 does not inspire you with confidence, and
 onhdcncc is the greatest asset in this world. You can't give a timid man work O do without feeling that he will eventu-
 llv ask you to help him. He lacks initia-
 i've because he fears to trust his own judg- nent. Ii he goes ahead at all he does it liter someone else has been over the
 round. He is a follower and not a leader.
 t is otherwise with man with a dominant vill. The latter never lacks confidence in himself. He is never afraid to work at the
 translation of his dreams into hard facts, because he possesses the grit, the pep ue- termination, the do-or-die element which makes him eager to fight his way through opposition and on to success, and even wei come competition as a spur to urge him on to greater effort. America is full of such men which accounts for the country's sue cess in the past and guarantees success m this great war. And the world seems to recognize that, for the moment our troops landed in France, the tide of confidence in the ultimate result increased a hundred per cent and it is still rising.

HOW CAN VIE USE OUR GARBAGE

A new use has been found for tho garbage that is commonly thrown away and lt is now considered waste if not used Just how we can utilize it here Co advantage In Doug las is for the wise heads to figure out Below is what the News Bul- letin has to say about Che dcspisod garbage can:
 The American garbage pail, with It's twenty odd million pounds of garbage per year. can we'll be con- sidered one Of our expensive uNur- les, and 1T through high prices by the efforts Of the Food Administra- ton. or otherwise our per capito waste can be reduced by even a small per cent. no small additional supply of foodstuns will be ayail- able.
 Tho Food Administration feels that the destruction of any material as high in potential values as most garbage, is morally wrong. lts value as feed or as groaso and fer tilizer tankagc, when considered in tho light Of tho present shortage of all these materials, makes it eN- tromely doubtful whether any mu- nicipality can justify any method other than one Of utilization The particular way in which garbage Is to be utilized, however, is SO clearly Q local problem as to make valuelcss any general statement of Che meth ods to be employed
