WHY THE MONEYS NEEDED


tomorrow, Uncle Sans war expenses
would continue tremendous for
months or even years.
When a peace conference is in ses-
sion, the outcome depends not in the
least upon what is said there, but al
most solely upon the forces available
to resume the fighting If one side
sees the strength of the other side
diminishing while the conference goes
on, the demands upon the latter are
likely to grow.
If Uncle Sam started shipping his
soldiers home as soon as peace COM
missioners met, the arrogance of Ger
many's representatives might be de-
pended upon to swell.
With a considerable portion of the
Yankee veterans on the way home,
the kaiser might decide that war was
preferable TO giving up his job.
But with the whole American Army
keeping the field, and with 100000
more men coming over every month,
the Germans, once they are represent
ed in a peace conference, will not per-
nit negotiations to be broken off at
any cost.
Numbers of the French and British
soldiers doubtless would be sent back
to their peace-time work when the ar
mistice was arranged. That would be
different. They would still be able to
take the field in a few days, while at
home they would be increasing pro-
ductiOn, and decreasing their cOun-
tries demands upon the United States
for food and supplies.
All this simply means that regard
less of the time when peace negotia-
tions begin. Uncle Sam must be pre-
pared to keep his Army in the field
for months afterward, he must be
prepared to continue his training of
men in this country, and especially
he must push the building of ships,
for they are a peace-time need no
less than wartime
MOney-lOts of mOney-will be
needed. And after peace is actually
declared millions more will be needed
to transport Pershing's men back
home across the ocean and to feed
and care for them until they get here.
Many persons-and not unnatural
ly-ask What's the matter with US
ing the $6,OOO,OOOOOO from the pres
ent Liberty Loan?'
In the first place, the S6,O0O,OO0,OO0
isn't pledged yet. And in the second
place, the money is spent already.
To avoid financial disturbances so far
as possible, the Government has
ad0pted-wisely. according to finan-
cial eXperts-a policy of "anticipat-
ing its Liberty Loans by borrowing
from the banks of the nation on
treasury certificates maturing in a
few months. These, when accumulat- !
ed. are paid from the proceeds of the
Liberty Loans.
That means that the present loan, if |
fully subscribed, will not give the |
treasury lump sum to spend. 1t will
simply permit the United States to |
pay its debts to the banks and start /
borrowing from them again on a clear
footing.
If the present loan is not fully sub
scribed-unthinkable but far from
impOssible-it may mean that the
next loan will come m1re quickly and
be larger. Or it may mean that fed
eral taxes, already as high as Con-
gress dares impose, must be forced
even higher.
In either case it will mean that Ger
many will put off her inevitable sur
render, and drag out the peace confer
ence with futile wrangling-all of
which means further war expense to
be paid by the American people.

of ammunition as rifle, there is lit
tie difficulty in keeping them fed.
The Lewis gun is described as the

AZ rounds in succession. Beside him
is another man who puts on fresh
trays of ammunition as required, the
change being made in two seconds.
Meanwhile other men are hard at
work filling trays and passing them

range of about 1,200 yards and can be
fired either from a stand or a para
pet, the gunner placing the piece to
his shoulder as he pulls the trigger.
The Maxim and Vickers guns are
fired from a tripod, the gunners sit

SEA AGAIN CALLING

S navy tug in heavy gale. The tug
ran short of coal, and was obliged tc
put to port. They felt tht there was
danger of the ship going ashore dur
ing the gale, so the captain ordered
the men to abandon the ship. 1t was
getting along towards dark, but they
launched their lifeboat with the wind
blowing 90 miles an hour, took near
lly 60 men off and transferred them
to the navy tug. All of this work
was done by our recruits, who had
only had about five weeks training,
without any casualty of any kind,
which was pretty gon demonstra-
ton as to what that training means.
The fleet l have outlines will hold
5000 men. We plan to put that num-
Der through each month. We have a
receiving ship now in New York har-
Dor, the Dorothy Bradford, to keep
a resrve number of men there all the
time to meet any emergency. We al
so hope to have similar ship at
NCwport News, similar receiving
station at San Francisco, and SINH
lar station at Settle. The demnd for
men would ppear to be about $4,000

months We also have under consid-
Grafton a receiving ship at New Or

For getting men, we have made ;
use of chain of drug stores through

pecially in the country town, is sort I

every veening, which makes them an
ideal nrolling station. These stores
have given us nearly 1000 enrolling

board has been almost nothing.

MACHINE GUNS
MOST EFFICIENT
IN PRESENT WAR
Among the Varied Weapons of War
fare, None Have Proved More De-
structive Than That Weapon, Oper-
ated by One Man, Which Sheds
Hundreds of PrOjectiles per Minute

London, April 9.-(Correspondenc,
of the Associated Press )-"Of all tn,
weapons used in the present war, the
machine gun has unquestionably prov
ed itself the most efficient" says {
British expert in the Daily Mail
I"Probably a majority of the casual
/ ties in the war have been caused by
this weapon; certainly the greater
portion of the enormous losses during
the fighting of the past few weeks
have been so inflicted,
ANY type of machine gun in the
hands of skillful operator has the
same destructive effect upon men in
mass formation that keen edged
scythe has in field of ripened grain.
1t cuts broad swathes; nothing can
stand against it.
"A well served machine gun is the
most formidable thing that attacking
battalions have to face. 1t is not only
he front ranks that suffer. At any
thing approaching close range, the
bullets will go through the front-rank
men, often through the second rank
as well, and kill or wound those i'm
behind them"
There are several types of machine
gun now in use in the British army,
such :, the Lewis, the Maxim, the
Vickers and the Hotchkiss. All are
very mobile. They can be moved i'm
from one place to another,
advantage being taken of any cover
that offers. Each class of cachine gun
has with it a squad of about ten men.
Should they find themselves pressed
too closely, they pick up their weapon
and fall back with it, and reopen fire
upon the enemy from the next favor
able position.
One authority has declared that in
the field one machine gun is worth al
most whole battalion of men armed
with rifles. Few soldiers can keep up
Is rounds per minute rapid fire with

AN APPEAL IS MADE DIRECT
 TO BAKERIES
Every Wednesday Is to Be Observed by AIaSkans as a WheatIeSS
 Day.

Judge Royal A. Gunnison, Federal Food Administrator for Alaska, sends the following to the press of Alaska:
 Please announce to all bakers that every Wednesday is to be observed as wheatless day by all Alaska restaurants and cafes and public din ing rooms and boarding houses to the end that the former may be en- abled to so regulate their output for every Wednesday.
 From reports received from twen- ty principal cities in the Territory it appears that every effort to conserve is being made and that a large quantity of sugar, wheat. fats and meats have been saved. The addi- ton of a porkless day to be observed by the cafes in the Territory will greatly increase the conservation of that much needed meat.
 If restaurants and hotel dining rooms have a menu card ask them to place a slogan in the matter of saving thereon. Any of the follow ing:
 Food will win the war-Don't waste it.
 Conserve food, especially beef, SUI gar, fats and waste.
 Use less wheat and meat. Serve just enough.
 He who wastes a crust of bread prolongs the war.
 Save the food and help the fighter fight.
 Fat is fuel for fighters Save it.
 Stir well the sugar you put in your tea or coffee.
 Eat wisely and keep the wolf from the door of the world.
 Do not eat meat more than once a day.
