Chairman Hurley Of the United

authorities in France az to the best

France has 'shipyards with a build

French government to build new
yards and enter upon a new career Of
ship construction. Mr.. Hurley said
the worlds tonnage must be greatly
increased and all the world should
Join in the enterprise If all needs are
to be met.
"The needs Of France will be very
great and I am going over there to
learn some things" Mr.. Hurley said

the question of the best way to stop
this work with the least disruption to
the institutions involved is being
ISOLATED with the government in the

A policy will be worked out. the Sec
rotary said, that will turn the colleges
back to their regular pursuits as quickly
as possible without causing losses to the
ing work will continue longer at some
colleges than at others while necessary
readjustments are being made.
No Decision as to Army Divisions.
Mr.. Baker indicated that no definite
decision has yet been reached as to the
future Of various Army divisions, now
completely organized or being formed at
cantonments In this country. Asked II
these organizations might see service in
Europe. he said: II cannot answer
that"
In this connection, however. 1t was
learned that orders already issued af-
fectually check the development Of those
divisions which have not yet been fully
organized. Transfers Of officers and
other steps necessary to completing or

Warship Repairs.

Over and above the great activity
e the British yards in building new
warships, particularly destroyers' ana
the construction of merchant ships. an
enormous amount Of time and LABOR
has to be devoted to repairs. In re-
cent speech Sir Eric Geddes said:
During one month the number OF war
vessels which needed repairs was
nearly 1,OOO-that is, in addition to the
11OO merchant ships-and that was oy
no means an abnormal month. Since
the beginning Of the war Sl,ooO war
vessels, including patrol craft ana
mine sweepers, have been docked or
placed on the ways, and these figures
do net include repair work done to the
vessels of our allies"
Add to this the arming OF the vast
feet of British merchant vessels, and
we have some conception of the enor-
nous task Of shiphuilding, equipping
and repairing carried on by the British
admiralty.

FinIand's New Flag.

The Russian revolution will probably
result in lengthening the list OF the
worlds flags by several additions. Fin
land, which. since March, has ceased
to be a grand duchy and has declared
her independence and status as re-
nublic, has now decided on her national
colors. She will have three different
standards: the national flag, the flag
Of the merchant service. and that OF
the pilot and customs services. Ihe
national colors are those which were
acclaimed at the time of the revolu-
ton, the yellow lion Of Finland sur
rounded by nine white roses on red
ground. The flag Of the merchant
service will have yellow perpendicu-
lar cross on a red ground and in the
ton right-hand corner, nine white roses
set symmetrically in three rows. The
nilot and customs services flag will be
the same: except that 1t will carry the
yellow of Finland instead of the white
roses.

a desperate encounter with q huge OWL
while walking through the woods late

His first warning of the attack was
when he was struck on the head and

Of the bird next were fastened to his

WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COST
Expenditures That In the Aggregate
Amount 10 Sum Sufficient to
"Stasaer Humanity"

Recently the congress Of the United
States passed almost without debate,
the greatest budget in the history of
the world, making available for Uncle
Sam $7,O0O,0O0.0OO in order to carry on
the war on scale commensurate with
it's greatness. 1t is interesting, there
fore, to compare with this the cost OF
other wars The Napoleonic wars,
which ragged over Europe from 1893 to
1915, cost approximately S7,000,000,0OO
or the same amount that congress pro-
vided for the United States to enter
into the conflict, and that was only a
beginning.
The Mexican war cost the United
States about S1O0000,0O0, a compara-
lively tri1ing sum. The Civil war,
however, was very expensive affair,
entailing the expenditure Of $1,000
100000 from 1861 to 1865. The Franco
Prussian war cost the two nations en-
gagged about So, ,5OO,0o0,0O0. The second
South African war. from 1900 to 1902,
cost 81, 0O0O0,OO0, the conflict between
Russia and Japan consumed almost
$4,000, 100000, while the United States
got off very cheaply in the Spanish
American war with an expenditure OF
s175. 100000. The estimates on the out
lay for the present war up to OCTOBER
1 of this year were s9S,S14,s73'ooo.-
