United States Shipping Board, an

To Offset the loss of transport ton
mage through the withdrawal of Brit
ish ships hitherto engaged in carrying
American soldiers overseas, Mr.. Hur-
ley hopes to utilize rs or 80 German
and Austrian liners, with accomoda-
tions for 1000 men each. In compen-
sation for the loan of these vessels,
he said, food would be sent to the peo-
pie Of central Europe on their return
voyages.
Mr.. Hurley said the shipping board
would be able to bring troops back at
the rate of 100000 month, "if the
war department wants them returned
as fast as that. He would meet Cen
eral Pershing at American field head
quarters, he added, to discuss the de-
tails Of their home coming.
While he will 60 abroad with Her
bert Hoover, federal food administra-
tor, to cooperate in arrangements for
the shipment and distribution of food
stuffs to the regions liberated under
the armistice terms and In degree

and Austria, Mr.. Hurley said his
mission was primarily to do with get

many who would have returned to

the service, following plans already
partly worked out by Secretary Baker
and the general staff.

to Soldiers by Supporting
tho Welfare Organi-
zAtions.

New York, Nov. 16.-In a stat
ment issued Friday night in which
he declared that the allied soldiers
will have to be the policemen Of the
world during the period Of demobil-
ization and that our boys win re.
main in service many weary months,
Provost Marshal Crowder stressed
the necessity for the support of the
United War Work Campaign.
"The feeling that there is no need
for further large contributions be-
cause Of the fact that hostilities have
ceased should certainly not exist -
declared the provost marshal. "Our
boys", he said, twill remain in SER
vice many weary months. The new
government has not been formed in
day. The period Of reorganiza-
ton and rehabilitation has to be
gone through with. During this
time the allied soldier will have to
be the policemen of the world They
will be doing as valuable service in
the interest of world peace as they
have been as world soldiers. They
have mems work before them and
they have now to assist in gathering
the fruits Of victory they have gain.
ed.
During the period Of waiting the
men will continue to need every well
fare organization. Our soldiers have
proved themselves willing to put up
with any hardships and endure any
privation as long as allowed to fight,
but now that the incentive for fight
ing is removed, the excitement and
glamor Of war are gone, many who
have gone successfully over the storm
period Of war, now may succumb to
the relaxation incident to the cessa-
tion of hostilities. If the United War
Work agencies can make their camps
and huts, their shows or motion pic
lures and their athletic sports so at
tractive that the boys will accept the
clean amusement offered by them,
they will have met the supreme test
of efficiency. They can not do this
unless the American people promptly
and generously replenish their war
chest. They are at the front looking
after our boys; we can not refuse
to hold up our end and we must see
that our soldiers have every safe.
guard. Now is our opportunity to
secure it for them.
In a statement made by Secretary
Baker in regard to the campaign he
declared the drive to be a direct
challenge of the measure of Ameri.

Court House Auditori-
un Scene of Patriotic
Rally.
CROWD WAS ADDRESSED
BY PROMINENT SPEAKER
About Two Hundred Citizens, Both
White and Colored, Gathered
In Court House Saturday
D.. Afternoon for u. w. w.
Meeting.

Despite the inclemency OF the
weather Saturday afternoon, about
two hundred citizens, both white and
colored, gathered in the AbbeVlle
County Court House for mass
meeting in the interest of the United
War Works Campaign now being
waeed throughout the country.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor ]. Moore Mars, who explained
the purpose of the gathering, and
later introduced DR.. R. B. .Elmore,
travelling representative Of the Ma
tional Committee on Subscription.
DR.. Arundel, rector Of the Green
wood Episcoralian church, was pres
ent, upon whom Dr.. Elmore called to
ask Divine blessing upon the pro-
ceedings.
After the invocation DR.. Emore
told the audience of the temptations
confronting the boys now, since hos
tilities had ceased, and of the great
need Of having someone to look af-
ter their. welfare, concluding his re-
marlu with q plea for the liberal
signing Of the Pledge Cards, which
was responded to very generously
more than q hundred dollars being
raised among the few who remained
throughout the meeting.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Abbeville Mill Band,
which deserves great credit for the
class Of music rendered, considering
the short time they have been organ
lied. =,
In speaking of the campaign DR..
Elmore said, mo armistice has been
signed in the United War Works
drive. The need of funds now that
the war is practically over, is greater
tnan ever, for the soldiers at the
front, without the thoughts Of bat
t. 70 engage them, will need the
uplifting influences of the seven
great religious and educational or
ganizations if they are not to be en-
meshed in the snares which sur
rounds an army at rest.
"While armistice terms have been
signed and peace is practically here,
the army of the United States is not
disbanded and will not be for months
and possibly year or two to come.
If the Y. M. C. A. and the like agen-
cies were valuable in war times,
they are invaluable while the soldiers
are yet under arms but not under
the restraints that war entails"
4 There is mu ch interest being
shown among the colored people of
the county. and indications now are
that the colored people, as we'll as
the whites, in this county will re-
spond generally and literally to
<the cause during the next day or two.
With $108,4O5,40S on hand to-
wards the revised goal of $25O,O00,-
900, officials of the campaign an
snounced last Saturday, from Nation
al Headquarters, that the drive
scheduled to have closed last night,
would be continued until Wednesday
might. Their decision, it was ex-
planned, was reached after hundreds
Of requests from all parts of the
country demanding an extension of
time because two days of the cam
paign were lost as a result of peace
celebrations, were received.
TIL campaign forces are we'll or

Mexican Oil Decree
Won't Alter Rights
Foreign Interests Apparently
Not Haxnpered by New
Laws, Given in Detail

MENICO CITY, July Modifica
tions of the oil decree of February 10,
agreed to between the Mexican govern
ment and representatives of foreign
interests, were announced officially to-
day. Apparently they will not alter
the rights of present foreign interests
holding oil properties and leases, if
certain conditions are complied with
regarding perfection Of titles to land,
leases and contracts.
Lands which have been legally leased
and manifested, but not denounced,
will be declared free land if not de-
nounccd within two months of a decla-
ration by the owner or lessor who
makes the manifestation. Lands legally
leased can be denounced by the last
concessionary or by an intermediary
if manifestation previously has been
made. Grants of land may be reduced
at any time and new title issued.
Penalties are provided for non-com-
pliance with the new regulations. The
tax on hectare of land is reduced
from five pesos to three. The govern
ment will accept in payment of title
fees and taxes credits which the COM
panies have advanced for the dredging
Of the Panuco River. Oil lands are
still held to be in the same category as
mineral lands in that the government
retains original title to the subsoi.

u. S. War Expense
Higher Than Britain s
Over 100000 an Hour Be-
ing Spent; Total War Debt
Third of British

WASHINGTON, July 31.-America s
war expenses now are running about
80 per cent higher than those of Great
Britain, it was shown to-day by COM
parison of Treasury reports and a
newly issued British financial state
ment. Owing to the shorter time the
United States has been in the war,
however, her national war debt is only
one-third as large as that of Great
Britain, and the individual burden of
taxation in this country now is about
one-half as much as in England.
Although the United States has
largely superseded Great Britain as
the financial reservoir on which the
other allied nations draw, the aggre-
gate of such loans by this country still
is one fourth less than Great Britain's.
The monthly cost of the war to the
United States now is about $1,000, 0,000,-
600, including loans to allies, while
Great Brtain's expenses are running
in the neighbornood of 100000
a month. The United States is spend
ing about $50 900, 900 a day, or more
than $2,0O0,000 an hour. The ma
tion's war debt is now little less than
$l2,500, 100000, as compared with
Great Britain's $36,675,O 100000.
