THE "HOMF PAPER" TO THE
SOLDIER BOYS AWAY FROM HOME
FOrty-odd Now Going to LeavenwOrth
Boys-Send Us Address of
Others

Since the first of November we
have mailed every week forty-odd
copies of the Echo under a special col
ored wrapper prominently printed
thereon "The Home Paper for the
Soldier Boys. Please Deliver Prompt
ly."
We want the address of every Leav-
enworth boy who is in the service of
his country. Patriotic and public
spirited citizens of Leavenworth have
agreed to pay this office $3.50 each
week, which barely covers the cost.
IF the reading of the news from home
helps to cheer the boys those who are
paying for the service will be amply
repaid. Next week we purpose print
ing the list, with the address of each
soldier, so that each one in the SER
vice will know where the others are
located and they can communicate
with each other if they desire.
There are quite a number whose
addresses have failed to reach this Of
flee. If you know the address of any
not now on the list send it in.

Government Should Take Over the
Newspapers

A number of our exchanges have
been specializing on what would hap
pen if the government took over the
newspapers. Well, the first thing the
subscription price would be raised
about so per cent and the sheriff
would be kept busy chasing delin-
cuents. The next step would be to
raise the wages rs per cent, and edi-
tors who hadn't cent in six months
they could call their own, would be
1laced on a salary. The merchants
who fail to get their ad copy in until
press day would be hauled up before
the council of defense and our limo
type man who hired out for two weeks
and quit in a week would be sent to
Leavenworth for about ten days as a
deserter. 1t looks like good propo-
sition and we are for 1.-THE Fair

AMERICAN CASUALTIES tSTI-
MATED AT OVER 100000
Dead and Wounded List More Than
Month Behind-NOrthwes Troops
Were i'm Some Recent Battles.

The following Washington dispatch
appeared in the dairy press yesterday.
Because some of our northwestern
boys are known to have been in the
recent heavy fighting in France and
Belgium the delayed list may hold
sad news.
Officials in Washington estimate
that the total casualties of the Amer
lean expedtionary forces in the war
will not exceed 100000, including
men killed in action, wounded, died
Of wounds, disease and accidents and
the missing who never will be ac-
counted for. Some of those who have
been missing probably will be ac-
counted for when the prisoners are re-
turned from Germany.
1t is said today it probably will be
several weeks before the record of
casualties can be completed. 1t is re-
garded as almost certain that many
Of the casualties in the recent heavy
fighting by the first and second Amer
lean armies have not yet been report
ed. Lists must also be compiled of
unreported American casualties in
British and French hospitals, espec-
tally from among the United States
fcrces brigaded with allied units.
Deaths from wounds also probably
will be reported for some time, while
lists of slightly wounded being sent
by couriers may be delayed. ~
The lists for several days have con-
sisted of about HOO names daily. Sec
rotary Baker has indicated that con-
siderable number of reported casual
ties remain to be given out, but that
these will be released as rapidly as
newspapers can handle them.
An unofficial tabulation of pub
lished casualty lists, including those
of November II, show grand total
of 1890 men.
Estimates based on previous rec
ords fix the total marine casualties in
France at less than 5000.

SHOULD THE UNITED STATES
CANCEL THE FOREIGN LOAN?

This question is receiving some at
tention. AS yet only the altruistic are
limiting at such a possibility. 1t would
be a bit of generosity that only the
United States could indulge in. APP
proximately the United States has
loaned the allies ten billion dollars,
while our own war expenses will
amount to between ten and fifteen
billions of dollars in addition. Of
course the ten billion, or most of it,
was paid in supplies at high prices.
We really paid our allies no real
money. We gave them, England,
France, Russia, Italy, Greece and Ser
bia, credit against which they drew
such supplies as we had that they
needed. Perhaps it would be worth
the price by way of an investment in
the future.

heavy oil engine became prominent
factors in supply ing the allied armies
with these war necessities at critical
periods. In an admirable editorial the
New York Evening Sun puts the stu
alton: So, England, France, we are
proud to think America has aided
Italy in her gigantic effort. But each
of the allies has a field especially its
own. And the blood-stained plains of
the Venetian province and the snowy
peaks of the Trentino, are the especial
theatre of Italy's valor and of Italy's
renown. All the ally world, all Christ
endom, pays tribute to King Victor
Emanuel, to General Diaz, to the Ital-
ian people, and prays that their suf-
fering and their success may have
centuries of fruition in the prosperity,
peace and progress of their complete
ly reunited country" And this ade
quately expresses the opinion of
Washington, official and unofficial.

GOLD QUARTZ FROM BLEWETT
MINES

Mr.. and Mrs. J. Burmeister, of
Blewett, were in Leavenworth Tues
day and called on the Echo. Mr..
Burmeister says he spent the past
summer at the saw mill town, but ex
poets to spend the next summer at the
Blewett mining camp, six miles fur
ther up the canyon. He says he first
came to the Blewett mines thirty-one
years ago, and with the exception of
two years made his home there. He
exhibited a piece of gold bearing
quartz about half the size of an egg
that looked to be almost half virgin
gold. A ton of that kind of stuff
would be worth one hundred thousand
dollars at least. He observed, how
ever, that it was an unusually rich
specimen.

SAMPLE OF STATE SOCIALISM

Oregon. has been acting one-reel
farce for the past two years estab-
fishing a state lime plant on the the
ory that the farmers were clamoring
for lime fertilizer at cost.
The plant has been established at
cost of 100000 and has begun to grind
out lime at Gold Hill that it offers to
supply to farmers on the cars at $1.75
a ton-actual cost.
But farmers are not ordering lime
and the managers complain at the
shocking lack of interest to take what
they offer at cost and with no appar-
ent demand for lime the state plant
must shut down.
The promoters got $4,000 from the
taxpayers, use convict labor, and are
asking about $4,000 from the next
legislature.
The salary roll for supervision is
stated at $16,S00 for the next two
years and it is backed by highbrows
and socialistic politicians.
1t is fine sample of the folly of
state socialism and there is no more
reason for supplying farmers with
lime at cost than there is for supply
ing any other class of citizens with
any commodity at cost, at state eX-
pense.

WAKE UP, LEAVENWORTH
COME THRU WITH THE MONEY
This Town Has Made a Reputation
That Can and Must Be Main
tanned

Leavenworth's quota of $3,196.95
appears to be rather large sum for
Leavenworth to raise in the first few
days of the campaign, but, as in the
past, Leavenworth will raise her full
quota and then some.
Up to yesterday evening about one
third of the quota had been raised
and nothing but the business district,
round house and box factory can
vassed. The Minute Women are just
starting their house to house canvass
and will probably bring home the ba-
con, as they usually do.
The amounts raised in Peshastin,
Blewett, Plain, Telma, and other out
lying districts have not reported as
yet, but if they come thru as they
have in the past their contribution
will help considerably.
Taken all together, results to date
appear very good, but not so good
that there can be any slackening of
the pace set in the last twenty-four
hours. The flu, signing of the armis-
tice, discontinuance of active opera
tions on the front, together with wet
weather, has retarded the drive. Now
that people are beginning to realize
that this war is not over for us, that
our troops must remain in France for
some time to come, and that they
have gloriously proven their worth as
fighters and representatives of this
nation, more people are taking an ac-
tive interest in this drive. If we
reach the goal, which we must, peo-
pie must go down in their pockets and
subscribe.
The campaign closes Monday night.
If any are overlooked they can prove
their appreciation of the work of our
troops by voluntary contribution.

BUSINESS OUGHT TO HUM IN
THE u. S. NEXT YEAR

And it will, if we all keep our
heads. Perhaps more depends on the
attitude of labor than any other one
factor that enters into the problem.
If the laboring men of this country
meet the after war conditions in a
fair-minded, patriotic spirit nothing
can prevent the United States from
entering on long period of good
times. Of course, the capitalist, or
employing class, may act pig headed,
and give the laboring men cause for
bringing on strikes and their atten-
dant evils, and then both will suffer.
If labor and capital work harmonious
ly nothing on earth can prevent the
setting in of an era of prosperity next
year.

carefully for the stamp "Made in Ger
many" in order to "show Germany
that goods made by her bloody-hand-
ed baby killers will not be tolerated
in America" The Association of
American Toy Manufacturers, which
happened to be in session in New
York when the Nieuw Amsterdam
brought its unllucky cargo into the
harbor, passed a resolution calling on
congress to enact laws barring all
German goods from this country until
the Central powers have submitted to
an Allied peace. Says the New York
Tribune, reviewing these various
of protest.

what government laxity
threatened. We trust the lesson has
been learned and the danger will not
be repeated"

PLENTY OF FRESH AIR is GOOD
HEALTH INSURANCE

Do not close up the house the first
cold day.
The best protection against colds
and influenza is plenty of fresh air.
Open all the doors several times a
day and thoroughly air the whole
house.
Fresh air is more quickly heated
than stale, hence it saves fuel as well
as health to have good ventilation.
All winter leave at least one screen
in window in each room. Cover it
with muslin-an old flour sack is ex-
cellent for this purpose. In this way
fresh air is secured without draft
and dirt is kept out.
Sleep at night with the windows
open. The hcdy replaces the waste
of the day during the sleeping hours
and plenty of oxygen is its first aid.

THE JACOBSENS MOVE TO MON

Mr.. and Mrs. F. S. Jacobsen, with
their two daughters, Misses Jean and
Mary, took the afternoon train on
Wednesday for Helena, Montana,
where they purpose making their fu-
ture home. Mr.. Jacobsen did not dis
close the nature of the occupation he
intended to follow in the new field of
his activity. The family made Leav-
enworth their home since 1902. Mr..
Jacobsen was prominently connected
with the business life of Leavenworth
and took very active part in the war
activities the past year. Mrs. Jacob
son and her daughters took a lively
interest in the social affairs of the
town and leave behind a host of
friends. They were accompanied to the
depot by a number of friends.
Thru a regretable oversight, the
above item, tho set in type, failed to
get into the Echo last week.

APPLE CROP ALL HOUSED
RAPIDLY GOING TO MARKET
Yield and Price Satisfactory to Grow
ers-By- Products of Fruit Re-
ceives Attention

The last of the apple crop in the
Wenatchee valley was gathered and
housed the, past week. Never was
weather more favorable for ripening
and picking the crop. The yield was
very satisfactory, tho not as large as
estimated in the summer, and the per
acre yield not so large as in some ex-
ceptionally favorable years. The size
and quality of the apples of the We
natchee valley has never been sur
passed. The price, too, left the grow
ers fair and satisfactory margin of
profit.
Shipment to market is going on
every day and by the end of the year
the bulk of the crop will be in the
hands of the dealers and the pro-
ceeds in the hands of the growers.
The apple crop of eastern Washing
ton is estimated to be worth in round
figures eight million dollars.
One thing which has heretofore
failed to receive the attention it de-
serves, saving the by-products. With
the stimulous given by war demand
for dried, preserved and canned ap-
pies, promises to add several million
dollars to the value of the fruit crop
in the future. A number of plants
to take care of the culls, windfalls
and over ripe fruit were established
thruout the state the past summer
and fall. The Wenatchee valley will
have several well equipped plants to
take care of this stuff in the future.

REDUCTION IN NUMBER
 OF RAILROAD EMPloYEs
Js Objected to by Representative of the American Railway Association

Washington. Jan. 11.-Possible re- cuction in the number of railroad em- ployes under government operation was touched upon today at the house Interstate commerce committees hear ing on the administrations railway bill Julius kruttschnitt, chairman of the board of the Southern Pacific, who said he spoke for the American Rail- way Association, voiced serious objec- tion to any pruning of lists of em- pioyes on the ground that it would se- riously affect the organization of the lines and mean disarrangement when the properties are turned back to their owners after the war.
 Chairman Sims asked about the feasibility Of eliminating some of the solicitors employed by the roads, par ticularly those whose duties are to seek passenger business. MT. Krutt srhnitt said the men who solicit pas senger business also look after freight and therefore he did not believe any considerable number of them could be dispensed with.
 Some of the twenty-one passenger trains running between Omaha and Chicago. the witness thought. could be taken of and the men engaged on them given employment in the freight service. He was opposed, however. tG any changes that would throw rner out of employment.

CHANGES IN STATUS OF -.
 MEN AT CAMP DEvENS
1850 Men in the Depot Brigade to Be
 Assigned to Other Branches.

Aver, Mass, Jan. 11-Sixteen hun dred and fifty men in the depot bri- gade at Camp Devens will be trans ferred next Monday to various regi- ments, battalions and trains in the cantonment according to re7organiza- tion orders for the 76th National Ar my division issued today. #
 Among officers here the announce is taken as meaning that the division as a whole is not likely to see foreign service in the near future and that Instead it will be a filling" division, having various parts of it's strength transferred from time to time to sup ply the needs of other units. Already from 10000 to 12,000 of the selected men of the division have been sent abroad or to other divisions of the. na- tional army now in training in this country.
 It is pointed out that the division cannot be built up to war strength with the first draft quotas even with the transfers next Monday and the ar- rival of the 4,000 or 5000 men of the final 15 per cent. of the draft.
 In the reorganization plan, depot bri- gade men from given section will be transferred as far as possible to units of selected men from the same sec tion. Boston men will be sent to the 301st Infantry and Maine and New Hampshire men to the 303rd Artillery Each company in the depot brigade will be reduced by the transfer to q total of 66 men and officers who will immediately begin preparations for training the quotas of the second draft.

SEc'Y BAKER THREE HOURS
 BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE
Sharply cross-Examined by Demo-
 crats and Republicans.

Washington, Jan. Il. - Deficiencies in army equipment were the subject of sharp cross examination of isecre- tary Baker before the senate military committee.
 For three hours the war department head was under rapid fire questioning, both from democrats and republicans, who frequently by word and gesture expressed disapproval of conditions disclosed. Sometimes they f1atly dis agreed with the secretary's assertions and pointed to testimony previov.1y heard to contradict him.
 Apparently little ruffled by the viz orous quizzing Mr. Baker, admitting and further detailing certain short ages, reiterated his formal statement of yesterday that supplies are sub- stantially adequate for initial rush needs"
 Committeeman insisted that his statement was misleading to the eoun- try even though unintantlonal, and gave the public a wrong impression of conditions. Senator Weeks declared it had "lulled the country to aleep'
 Secretary Baker explained that what he meant when he spoke of adequate supplies was that all troops who ge abroad to actual fighting are and will be amply equipped. In response te questions he said General Pershing is short of motor trucks. Mr. Baker will be back tomorrow for further eresse examination.
