To supply BrItIsh Army.

The demands of the British army.
which expanded in twenty months
from 100000 members to millions OF
members, are set forth in part in an
article that appears in the latest is
sue of the Scientific American. To
get the articles needed, the markets
Of the world were combed.
It is estimated that an army needs
no fewer than 10000 different arti-
cles in addition TO its fghting equip
nent. To meet the demand, some in
dustries had to be expanded 175 per
cent. The article explains:
The figures for textiles assumed
vast proportions-S4,OO 100000 yards OF
flannel, III, ,OOO, 600. yards OF, wooden
fabrics, and I9I, 100000 yards of cot

IDEA OF WAR
SUPPLY TASK

It Is hard for the outsider to un-
derstand why it is that men can live
at home without. taxing the factories
OF. the country. and that the re-
sources OF the nation have to be
taxed to the utmost TO supply a small
proportion of the same men when
placed in the field.
1t is not that the output of indus
tries is much reduced by the de-
parture OF the forces, because mil
lions of men and women Immediately
step forward to take the empty
places. It does not seem likely that
the men at the front eat more or bet
ter food than when they are at home
or wear more or better clothes. Men
who have lived poorly do not get
into the armies as a general thinGr
as they cannot pass the physical test.
The answer seems to be that the
men use different things in the field
from those they do at home. eat diff
ferent foods. and employ different in
struments. and these articles must be
gathered under one control and ac-
quired in a hurry.

Lite Time Remains for Taxpayers

There remains but three days for
taxpayers to make a settlement
with Waldo Schneider, the town

comply with the collectors re-
quest. Thousands of dollars are
stifl due at the office in the State
bank building After Saturday the
accounts will be turned in and one
per cent additional will be charged.
Persistent appeals have evidently
been to no avail. Those who in
tend to make a settlement before
the time is up are requested to do
so at once. The office is open sew
en- hours daily and Saturday even
ings.
The same situation prevails this
year as In years previous. Tax
payers were urged to settled early
in order to prevent the rush or
congestion which usually takes
place when the payments are held'
back until the last few days. More
