Slight Decrease From Pre-
vious Figures Is Due to
Shortness Of Period
1926, 100000 i'm Loans
General Fund Balance Now
Higher Than at Any Time
Since December

WASHINGTON. March 1.-The money
cost Of the war to the United States
still is running near billion dollars
q month.
Despite official forecasts Of steadily
increasing expenditures from month TO
month, the governments outlay in Feb
ruary, according to Treasury state
ment issued to-day, was slightly less
and would have been approximately the
same if the month had been as long as
other months
Expenditures amounted to $1,002,-
S7S,608, of which two thirds, or $685.
100000, was for ordinary war expenses
and 1925 100000 was in loans to Allied
governments. Corresponding expendi-
lures were S1,o9o,o00,000 in January,
81 Jos 100000 in December and $685.
100000 in November.
Balance Above Billion
The net balance in the general fund
was swelled to-day to $1,073 100000,
above the billion dollar mark for the
first time since the middle of December,
by the inflow of $3.50 100000 from sale
of certificates of indebtedness of the
current $500,Oo0,00o block. which will
close next Tuesday. More than four
ffths of this huge government working
fund was distributed throughout the
country in depositary banks, so that
there was no big accumulation of idle
dollars in the Treasury.
The total cash assets of the govern
ment day were S4,027 ,54S, which
included S2,401. .135,5o6 gold, $491 ,673,-
$50 silver. and the balance of the gen
eral fund.
Relying on Loans
For revenue, the government still is
relying mainly on borrowing through
the Liberty Loan and certificates Of in
Gcbtcdness, as The war tax dollars have
not yet begun to roll in from income
and excess profits taxes.
Actual receipts from internal revenue
since last July /, the beginning Of the
ascal year, have been about $500 ,o00,-
600, and it is estimated that the total
receipts up to next July / will be 49,,
400, 100000. The war savings move
ment has brought in $75,000,00O in the
three months it has been under way.
Total disbursements in the eight
months have bccn S10,647 ,709 900, a
little more than receipts.
The bulk of the funds now needed
for Federal loans to farmers, about
S1l000,0 900 month, is being supplied
from the Treasury fund of 100000 900
set aside for the purpose, rather than
through private sale of farm bonds

New Order Extends
Dry Zone Ruling

New regulations made public July
prohibit the furnishing of liquor to
officers and men of the army within
private homes or anywhere else under
any circumstances. The new orders
also defines military camps, about
which dry zones will be established,
as those where $50 or more soldiers
are encamped for period of thirty
days or more. The new ruling re-
moves all doubt as to just what con-
stitutes a military camp within the
meaning of the dry zone law 1t also
simplifes the work of preventing the
serving of liquor to soldiers and sail
ors, because there is no place now, Ell
Their in home or club, where soldiers
may legally be served with intoxicants.

Drink and Disaster
on Excursion Boat

Liquor undoubtedly played its part
in the tragedy on the Illinois river,
near Peoria, when the Columbia, a
river excursion steamer, sank with
loss of IS lives. The boat contained a
bar and it is reported that there was
much drinking preceding the disaster.
Newspaper reports of the accident
told OF rumors that members OF the
crew had been drinking. These re-
ports were later met with the state
ment that all operating members of
the crew had been total abstainers for
the past six years. The captain of the
boat is quoted by the Chicago Herald
Examiner as saying: "Our engineer
hasn't taken drink for years, neither
have the pilots. 1t is possible some of
the crew might have had a few bottles
of bee, but nobody was drunk" The
mayor of Pekin is said to have made
the following statement: Reports
have come TO me that drinking on the
boat the night OF the tragedy was car
ricd to extremes" Good Govern
ment. published in Peoria, in its lat
est edition, says: "One things is abso-
lute1y certain, the sale of liquor aboard
these excursion boats should be stop
ped. Repeatedly reports come to the
public of the most debauching carousx
ais aboard boats on the river"
Whether or not members of the
crew drank much, little or nothing,
there can be no doubt that. if there
had been no bar and no drinking, all
on board would have had a better
chance to be saved than was possible
with many in various degrees of intox-
ication.

Coal Order Cuts
Supplies for Beer

An order made public after meet
ing of the Presidents war cabinet
July 3, provides that all brewers in
the coming year, beginning July l,
must restrict their fuel consumption
so per cent of the average annual con-
sumption for the period January !,
1915, to December 81, 1917.
1t is predicted that the order re-
stricting coal to half the supply for
merly used by the brewers will be fol-
lowed by another, cutting off their an
nual supply of fuel after they have
used the materials in process of man
ufacture, including malt already manu-

THE GREAT DANGER
CONFRONTING DRYS

In Woodside township, San
canon county, the assessors
list shows that there are 440
male property owners in the
township. In the last legislative
primary only liz votes were
cast. Three hundred and twen-
ty-eight voters did not go to the
polls.
There are many other town.
ships in Illinois where the pro-
portion of voters who go to the
primaries is as small. This
tendency of voters to remain
away from the primaries when
legislative candidates are noni-
mated is the greatest danger con-
fronting the dry forces and the
greatest handicap to good gov
eminent in Illinois. Unless the
drys of the state realize the i'm
portance of nominating Endorsed
candidates at the primary on
September IL, Illinois will fail
to ratify the national Prohibi-
ton amendment. Furthermore.
the state will continue to be
handicapped by a legislature
more anxious to protect the pri-
vate interests of the brewers
than to promote the public well
fare.

Do they mean that the white corpus

swiss. On white organdie collars and

well knows that such a thought never entered the mind Of Presi-
