Total Needed Between
Now and June 80
Working Balance on Hand ard Other
Items Will Take Care Of Half Of This
Sum and Third Liberty Loan the
Balance

Balance
Washington, March 19.--Ilnminence
Of Secretary McAdoo's announcement
of the size and interest rate of the third
Liberty loan to open April 6 gave spe-
cial Importance today to treasury an
lnouncement of government receipts and
expenditures from which might he cal
culated with fair accuracy the sum the
government would need before the end
of the fiscal year, June 80.
Outstanding features of these fig
ures. as unofficiaily analyzed. were
that war costs are not increasing from
month to month as had been expected
and that ordinary expenditures and
loans to Allies in the next three and
one third months probably will not be
much over $4,000. 900, 900. To this must
be added necessary outlay, making a
total of 1856 900 900 needed between
now and June 80.
On the OtneT sue VI ttie ooohs liishs
be placed the ss53000.000 working bal
ance on hand today and other items
making a total of nearly $4,000, 100000
which might be expected to flow into
the treasury between now and June 80
from other sources than the Liberty
loan. On this basis of calculation, the
differences to be provided would be be-
tween $4,000. 100000 and $4,000, ,ooo.-

England Calls More Men.

England must have 10000 more
soldiers at once, the British govern
ment says. This means almost 9
half-million addition to her present
fighting force-osupposed to pc At
least 100000 strong. She is now
recruits to the strength she already
has there about as large force as
We have been able to send to Europe
since we began participating in the
combat some eight months ago.
What is the need Of these addl-
tional English soldiers? For one
thing it is said that more than q
fresh German and Austrian troops
will soon be on the western trout
having been released from easy duty
on the eastern line bv reason of Rus
sia's false moves. It is to be sup
posed that. at present the Entente
forces in the west are not mucn
E5satspd than add dhSsa Of
will not sufficiently strengthen the
Entente line there for meeting the:
terrific drive which the central pow
ers' greatly augmented armies may
be expected to set in motion soon In
northeastern France and in Belgium.
No doubt the Entente allies are
counting on America providing the
pose Germany and Austria in the
new campaign. That. would mean
that we must put at least million
soldiers on the western war front
and have, presumably, at least an
other million in training for reserves;
France seems well-nigh exhausted
as to resources of men, and cannot
be expected to do much this year to-
ward swelling the Entente armies:
The United States must do the most
of the recruiting.
When we have in mind, as now
We must constantly. the work re- re
uuired in putting into France what
ever force of fairly we'll trained sol
diers we at present have there, we
wonder at the ability Of the indivi-
dual European lands, each with. a
smaller population than America
possesses, to put such great armies
in the field as have been in service
since the war was three months old:
TO be sure, all save England had
compulsory military service laws at
the beginning of the war The Brit
-ish, however, recruited equipped
very large force in the first year
of the war.

a little brush with the Turks and some

KEEPING LO
POOR

One of the enormous wastes Incl
dent to government by Bureaucracy
was pointed out recently by Represen-
tative N. j. Sinnott of Oregon. Mr..
Sinnott told the members of the House
that on the klamath Indian reserva-
ton there is standing timber of the
value of $23, 900, 900 and land areas
which will furnish feed for immense
herds of cattle, but tonly 1000 head
of stock are running on the reserva-
ton and the Indians have not money
with which to increase their herds.
That reservation contains 1000, 900
acres of land. Not far from it is a
privately owned stock ranch of $780,
600 acres on which there are running
from $4,000 to 10000 head of cattle.
Said Mr.. Sinnott: Many of the In
dams on this reservation are living
from hand to mouth. Individually
and potentially they are worth $25, 900
apiece-their assets amount to that
sum-and yet many of them are in
want. 1t would pay the government
to go over to those stock ranches and
employ the managers and pay them
$4,000 a year to conduct a reserva-
ton like this as their own ranches
n conducted. If that were done, in
ten years every one of those Indians
would be absolutely independent"

FEAR RECURRENCE OF PLAGUE
Government Experts Favor Extermina-
ton of Rats Also as a War
Measure for Saving Food.

Government experts are urging that
the rat be exterminated as a war meas
ure for saving food. The waste each
year due to the rodent Is estimated at
$500, 100000. A full-growu rat con
sumes more food than a baby. In
addition, the animal Is a menace to
health.
The terrible scourge of the bubonic
plague In Europe and Asia was spread
by rats and their parasites. When
the plague was carried by the animals
in ships TO our Pacific coast, a cam
paign for their determination was con-
Quoted in the seaports at much cost.
The disease was thus stamped put as
1t had been in the Orient, by the pound
of cure instead Of the ounce of pre-
vention.
The plague returns at intervals from
Its breeding places in the overcrowded
and filthy cities of Asia. War, pesti-
lence and famine travel hand In hand.
A recurrence may be expected as a re-
suit Of the ~deprivations of var among
the impoverished eastern people.

Out of His Ranue.

A young man stepped into a sporting
goods store recently. relates the Indian
apolis News. and asked to see some
guns. His remarks indicated that he
was a sportsman Of a decidedly anna
flourish sort. The obliging salesman
brought forth all manner and varieties
of weapons. from a .22-caliber rifle to
latest model pump" gun. but nothing
brought any response of satisfaction
into the young fellows face. Finally
the salesman handed him a high-power
rifle, used for big game, with the re-
mark, "Thls beautiful little gun, sir, Is
just what you want, l believe. 1t kills
at 5000 yards" The young man shook
his head, more In doubt than ever.
"No," he said, ~ an afraid l couldn't
use II at all. You see. / have to get

NO WHOLESALE
VI

There has been pretty conclusive
evidence that some of the "dollar-a-
year" men were guilty of turning war
business to their personal friends for
unconscionable profteering purposes.
This was quite likely to occur; but it
would be unjust to condemn Or place
under suspicion the whole list of dol
lar-a-year'' men because one or two of
their number are unable to subordi-
nate selfishness to patriotism. There
are in America a great many men
whose ability and enterprise have
been such as &c enable them to ac-
cumulate independent fortunes by
entirely honest methods. At the same
time that they have been accumulat-
ing fortunes for themselves, they have
benefited the country by introducing
new methods, new inventions and
more extensive production at lower
costs. The government needs the aid
of such men. 1t needs their ability
to grasp and solve large problems,
their experience and their force of
character. To denounce the whole
group because a few have been
traitors to the trust imposed in them,
will discourage all from further eff
forts. The proper course is to ascer-
tain which of them have rendered
faithful and valuable service and &C
cord to them the honor that is their
due. Thus we shall, as we should,
encourage other men to contribute to
the general welfare the wealth of
knowledge and experience they have
gathered in years of successful pri-
vate effort. This government cannot
be made a success unless it has the
guiding hands of men who have made
a success in their own individual af-
fairs. 1t is well that the brand of
infamy shall be imprinted upon the
brow of the traitors, but we shall
accomplish more by. placing laurels
upon the brows of the faithful.

HEALTH THAT MAKES WEALTH
Nervous Energy Which Enables one
to Think New Thoughts and Until
ate New Plans Important.

Probably the majority of men do not
know what real health means. IL
means more than the capacity to SIT
up and eat, to walk. to board a car and
to bend over a desk. Real health
means more than the real ability to do
the same thing day after day. Real
health means a degree Of stirring, nerv-
Gus energy that enables one to think
new thoughts, conceive new plans n
initiate new enterprises. Superb
bundant nervous energy is back OF ex-
ceptional mental activity. 1t is the
basis of all those qualities which are
most essential In the struggle for sue
cess.
1t is not sufficient to have health
that will enable you to do a common
place days work, Hugo Masters writes
In Physical Culture. The right |
of health should give you the energy
with which to perform far more tina
a days work, If necessary, even from
a cumulative standpoint. 1t is COM
monty the nan with an unlimited ca
pdClty AO WIN WIZ SCNS OH' -
able to work long hours without firing.
Successful men invariably enjoy the
possession of this degree of nervous
endurance or working endurance.
But 1t Is not this that is most i'm
portant. The possession of energy is
essential, not so much for the sake of
the capacity for long hours of work,
but on account of the quality of work
which 1t enables one to perform.
Quality of effort is more important
than quantity of work and the greatest
value of unlimited energy lies in CIV
ing one the capacity for concentration,
the capacity for an intensity of effort
that is beyond the average man.
