GERMAN ADVANCE IN

Washington. on.--Germany's advance in
Russia is described by the war de-

another futile attempt on the part OF

on the west front, where the. Teutons

key positions of the war. American

separate points and, as was recently
disclosed, in the principal sector their
front Is four and half miles long,
They have been constantly engaged,
the department says, and the scope of
their activities is being constantly ex.

SOLDIERS. BELIEF IN FUTURE LIFE

Ispent many days in the trenches,
the rest camps, the hospitals and in
the surrounding towns, and the most
definite impression l carried away
was one concerning the spiritual at
mosphere whichsurrounds the French
and English soldiers in France. l
talked with some of the men for
hours at a time about their expert
ences in battle, about their thoughts
of home, about their feeling toward
the enemy. but the n thing l came
away with. above all other impress
sions, was the conviction that every
single one of these men, no matter
what manner of lives they had lived
before, now possess a calm, clear
conviction that if they fall in the
thick of the fight they will pass into
the life beyond.
That's why we take such chances"
one man told me simply. DO
you think for a moment that if we
thought that life held nothing for US

would fight with such a confidence and
eagerness? We would not be able to

WAR NEWS NOTES

The Army and Navy monthly pay
roll is now one hundred million dol
lars. This includes the soldiers and
sailors pay, salaries. family allow
ances, etc.
The labor supply is ample. if it is
properly adjusted. The draft will
take less than 3per cent of the work
ers. So says Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Labor.
The Pennsylvania and several other
railroads have refused to provide
transportation for circuses in the
season of 1918. The circus takes up
too much trackage and delays freight.
So great is the call for American
money for charitable purposes in
Europe that our Government has felt
obliged to limit the amount to $780,
600 per month. 1t was becoming a
serious drain on this country.
American soldiers have now taken
out more than three billion dollars
of life insurance. under the War In
surance Law. The insurance thus
furnished by the Government costs
less than half what it would cost in
ordinary life insurance companies.
The cost is deducted from the SOL
diers' pay. No soldier is obliged to
take out life insurance if he does not
wish.

various State councils of defense
have been asked to instruct the peo-
pie of the various States to abide by
this request.
In the communications received on
the subject it is pointed out that
tons of food stuffs are being sent to
the men in the army at various
camps and that this food in most in
stances is spoiled before it reaches
its destination. The boys in the
army are well fed. says the state
ments. and this additional food is
not only wasted but oftentimes, af-
ter it has travelled hundreds of miles
it becomes so tainted that it is injur-
