WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-Seven-
teen months of war have cost the
United States government $780,
681 ,342-a billion dollars a month.
This rate has increased SO rapidly,
however, that August expenses ran
up to $1,805, 513.222. or nearly $780,.
0OO, 900 more than the highest previous
record set in July.
These figures from the Treasury
show that less than III years of mod
ern warfare have cost the United
States more than four times the COM
| bined Union and Confederate outlays
for three years of the Civil war, cal
culated at $3.66O.O00,O00 for the
Union and s1,5O0.00O,000 for the Con-
federates.
The report also shows double the
rate of increase in expenditures esti-
| mated by the government in June then
set at $100,000,000 more each month.
If this rate continues, expenses for
the year ending next June 30 will be
| much more than the $24,000.00O, 900
! estimated, and the country may be
called on to absorb more than the
s16,O00,0 100000 of liberty bonds now
tentatively planned.
The Treasury report also shows fur
| Their that the $17,339, 100000 cost of
the war to date, $10,989,077,0 900 has
been spent for ordinary war purposes,
and s6.245, 764,O0O has gone as finan-
| cial aid to the allies. This will be re-
paid eventually, and consequently may

1s1st MARCHING SONG

The following song was sent to The
Palladium by Harry J. Bockstette OF
the Headquarters 151st Infantry, at
Camp Shelby. This is the marching
song Of the 151st. and was composed
by Halsey X. Moore, writer of
They're Wearing Them Higher in
Hawaii" Liberty Bell" and other
popular songs:
Were from Indiana and we're on our
way,
And we're true and loyal to the U. s. A.
Land of Normandy never fear: we'll
set you free,
For we're coming over the ocean
Just to prove our friendship and
devotion.
Though they made your land the
battlefield for all.
Inhumanity and shame are bound to
fall
AS we march with you. every heart
will beat so true,
And we will never, never come back
until we win.
Then up and at them-Over the Top
we go.
See that Hun-On the run;
Drive him back to the land he came
from;
Up and at them-Over the top we 60
Well fly our banner for Indiana and
Victory.
Then
Oh, Indiana! You'll be proud of us
While we're over there,
And you can bet every mothers son
of us
Will be proud to do our share for
Liberty's cause.
And when we march into Berlin-this
Is what we'll do;
We Will change the River Rhine to
River Wabash
So they will never forget YOU

The Navy Uniform

There Is a reason for every part of
the navy uniform, according to Navy
Recruiter Kienzle. The following is
the explanation the navy recruiter
gives for the design of the sailors
uniform:
The three white stripes on the col.
!. lar commemorate the three great Eng
fish sea battles
The defeat in 1888 of the Spanish
Armada by the English fleet
The battle of Trafalgar, which oc-
CURED off Cape Trafalgar in October,
1906, between the English and Spanish
fleets.
The battle of the Nile. which oc-
CURED off Aboukir Bay in 1898 be-
tween the English and the French
fleets.
The collar itself was formerly made
of leather, and was used to protect the
shirt or blouse of the wearer from
oily wig or perique worn by sailor men
The black tie is worn by the Brit
ish sailors Of Lord Nelson's fleet in
memory Of the death of Lord Nelson
in 1905. Lord Nelson was the naval
hero of England The tradition of the
black neCkerchief has been handed
down to lis. IL addition it serves q
practical purpose, being a yard square
of silk, making it practical for an
emergency bandage or an arm sling.
The white dickey, worn at one time,
but which has been replaced by al
lowing the white undershirt to show
at the neck, is associated with the
death of Admiral Faragut. After his
death the sailors were requested to
divide among them the sail in which
his body was lowered to the water,
and to wear the pieces across their
chests.
The thirteen buttons across the top
of the trousers represent the thirteen
original states.
The wide legs of the trousers are de-
signed to allow freedom of movement

How to Save Coal
(Ry Associated Press. }

(By Associated Press.)
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.-Various
ways to save coal and still keep warm
are pointed out by the General Com
mittee of the Anthracite Coal Opera
tors in a series of suggestions given
out here on conservation OF the fuel
during the coming winter months.
Briefly they are:
Start furnace and kitchen--ange fires
as late as possible. Forget the first
few cool Fall days.
Raise window curtains during the
day to admit sunlight, for that is free
heat. Dispense with awnings as they
shut out the sun.
Membership all doors and windows
and put asbestos around all furnaces,
boilers and celler pipes used for heat
ing purposes.
Reduce the home temperature to 81
degrees. Do not wait until the mer
curry shows "a degrees before closing
drafts. By this time that extra amount
Of coal will have been consumed and
wasted, according to all economic
rules.
Bedrooms, where windows are open
ed for the night or otherwise, should
be shut off from heat Use blankets
and feel better in the morning
Wear heavier clothing. This ma
terially saves body heat
Thoroughly clean SCOT from pipes
and boilers and do not mind doing a
little work in the cellar seeing that
window panes are tight and weather
stripped like the other parts of the
house.
Burn oil, wood, coke and bituminous
when possible. Use gas for cooking
and heating. Gas lighting at night
, aids in heating he home, stores and
buildings where used.
Use heavy draperies on doors and
windows for interior home decoration
This aids in outstanding interior heat
supply.

he conferred Friday with Frederick

various questions:

Regarding the Brest-LitOvsk treaty,

certainly is no question of uncondi-

memorandum.

an international conference to place

memorandum of the Dutch Scandina-

of Belgium and Alsace Lorraine. Re-

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-Secret
activities against the United States
and the allies Of the German paid
and controlled Russian Bolsheviki
government are the subject of today's
chapter OF confidential documents
from Russia given to the public by
the American government.
One of the documents, q terse note
from the German general staff to the
Council OF Peoples Commissaris, de-
clares that as long ago as November,
1917, when the Russian regime still
was regarded as an ally Of the nations
at war with Germany, the Germans
were brusquely requiring Lenine and
Trotzky to furnish Information regard
Ing the amount and places Of storage
OF supplies received from America,
England and France.
Others tell Of the launching in jan
uary and February this year Of Boil
sheyiki peace and Socialistic propa-
ganda against the United States. Eng
land and France, at the direction OF
the German intelligence service.
False Neutral Passports.
This was at the very time that
Scheidemann, the powerful German
Socialist and world Socialism apostle,
was In communication with his Rus
sian brothers regarding the destruc-
ton of traces of the party's business
relations with the Imperial govern
ment." The intelligence service re-
quired the Bolsheviki to send to the
allied countries through neutral Eu-
rope comrades" under assumed
names. and with false neutral pass
ports, to preach their doctrine Of dis
organization and to carry on cam
paigns OF counter revolution" sabo-
tage. footing. ETC."
Plans for the Germans for sending
three submarines, disassembled, by
rail overland to Vladivostok for serv-
ice on the Pacific are disclosed in a
communication of the German High
Seas Fleet General STAFF to the COM
missaris. The other of the naval COM
munications reveals scheme conceiv-
ed in January Of employing Russian
ships on the Pacific under the Russian
flag to cary agitators and "agents-de-
structors" to the United States, Japan
and the British colonies In Eastern
Asia.

telligence Service to the commissaris
describe the assault upon and robbery
of the Italian Ambassador in the
streets Of Petrograd in February last.
