ever, was postponed.

A very palatable and entirely sat

mixing in water. sterilized skim milk,
produced by evaporation, and making
an emulsion with coconut oil. An es-

Every heart carries Its weight
of sorrow. but not for that may
the life drop its work. II we
refuse to be Of use to others
until we are free from troubles
of our own we shall spend years
In waiting and complaining.
AS long as idleness is shut
out from our lives all the sins
of wantonness are prevented

Incompetence, slackness, ig-

half our woes. Let US be In

SURPRISE FOR HUN CAPTlvES

With the American Expeditionary
Forces in France.-The saddest men
in Northern France today are the
boche inmates of a French prison
camp back OF the Aemrican lines and
facing a road which for the last four
days was filled with American sol.
diers being shifted in accordance with
the plans for their participation in the
struggle to the west. 1t was the first
time the Americans used this particu-
lar road in force and the first time the
boche prisoners had q chance to sight
the boys in brown who have come to
France to help end the kaiser's reign
Of terror, and they are impressed and
depressed.
Some of them had been captured
within the last 20 days. They said
they had been told not to fear the
Americans, because the U-boats would
never permit them to get to France.
They expressed the greatest concern
as they watched the long khaki lines
Of infantry and field artillery, and
wanted to know how many Americans
were in France and how many more
we're coming.

over one-third has been spent for the
army and military establishment; one
tenth for the navy and one fifteenth
Tor shipbuilding
Just one-sixth of this big war cost
has been raised by taxation and other
ordinary sources of revenue. and the
erty bonds and certificates Of indebt-
edness.
Enormous as these war expendi-
lures may seem to a country whose
government in peace times costs be-
tween $500, 000, 900 and 100000 900,
they are less than Great Britain's and
are only about two-thirds Of estimates
made by officials less than a year ago.
Slow progress Of the shipbuilding pro-
gram and the retarding Of the outpour-
Ing of war supplies are regarded by
officials as the chief reasons why ex-
penses did not equal estimates.
Government expenses now are run
ming about a billion dollars a month,
with somewhat less than half going to
allies, who spend tho greater part OF

Since the declaration Of war, April

%penditures have been more than 49,
500, 000, 900, but about $500, 000, 900 OF
this sum would have been spent for
normal activities even II the United

Financial experts Of the government
calculate that the wal has cost in dol

creased expenditures OF many state
and local governments under war con-
ditions. They do not venture to esti-
mate the aggregate OF these expendi-
lures, however. On the other hand,
the war has resulted in innumerable
economies. public, private and person
al, enforced partly by rising costs and
partly by organized economy move
ments.
