Thought We're Thieues

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Feb. 5.-Dar
nell Cox and Harry Ale, each 20 years
old. were brought to local hospital
early today severely wounded. having
been shot by Bernard Durbin, who
lives on an adjoining farm
Ale lost one eye. his teeth were shot
out, his face cut into ribbons with shot
and he is injured internally. The flesh
on the right arm of Cox below the
elbow is nearly all shot off and there
are fifteen or twenty shot il his right
side. Ie is doubtful if either young
man RECEIVERS.
Durbin thought he heard thieves in
his chicken coop early this morning
and telephoned Charles Ale to come
over and they would catch the intrud-
ers. Ale was not feeling well and
sent his son and young Cox. They
were within 100 feet of where Durbin
was standing when they reached the
house. Durbin asked who they were
and both of the boys told him. He
misunderstood them and shot twice
thinking they were chicken thieves
Durbin also says he misunderstood the
situation because he only telephoned
for Ale and did not think about the
two young men being sent to assist
him.

How Expenses Jumped.
Then came the war. In the first
month. May, 1917, expenses jumped to
$114, 100000; in June to S134,000,0 900; in
July to $20S, 900, 200; in August to S277,-
100000; in September to S349, 900, 900.
By October, the monthly outlay had
reached S462, 100000; November s5l2,-
100000; December $611,000,o0O and
last month they were $715,000,000. In
the first five days of this month, the
government has spent S15o,00o,000.
These big sums did not include the
allied loans They have averaged
$3.50, 100000 a month from the time the
United States entered the common
fight against Germany.
The army, navy and shipping board
alone have dipped into the financial
war chest for more than 50 percent of
the nations fighting funds.

Government borrowings on the two
Liberty loans have paid for four-fifths
of the wars cost, and taxation and a
few minor ordinary government re-
ceipts for about one-fifth. The loan
campaigns produced S5.792 100000 and
$1,250, 100000 came direct from the
pockets of the people, and will not

u. S. Transports Insure
500, 900 Troops Abroad
Soon Says Sec. Daniels

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Secretary
Daniels today authorized the state
ment that the navy is assured of
enough transport facilities to make
sure that there will be 100000 Amer
lean trops in France early this year,
as was stated by Secretary Baker re-
Gently before the Senate military COM
mittee.
Mr.. Daniels made the statement
when informed that Secretary Bakers
forecast of the number of men to be
sent abroad had been challenged in the
Senate today by Senator Hitchcock.
He would not say whether the navy
departmentment's outlook for ships
was such as to warrant the expecta-
ton of having 100000 more men in
France by the end of 1918.
Secretary Baker himself declined to
comment in any way upon Senator
Hitchcock's address.

never before dreamed of, they are be-
low official estimates made early in
the war. Since war was declared,
April 6, and the fiscal year for which
estimates were made did not begin
until July l, it is difficult to compare
precisely the actual war costs with
the fiscal year estimate. Most of the
war expenses have been incurred since
July /, however, and the total outlay
since then has been $6,500, 600, 900, in
little more than seven months, as
compared with estimate of S1S,431, ,000,-
900 for the entire year.
Expenses Run Fast
Two factories are held mainly re-
sponsible for this difference. Officials
of the war, navy and other depart
ments figured literally on their ex-
penses originally, to allow Il margin OF
financial safety. In addition, produc-
tion of ships and war supplies has
failed to develop as rapidly as had
been planned. Officials point also that

materials fall due in the next few

More than half of this huge sum, or

do we want men to attend but women

No Discrimination
Allowed in Draft

Washington, June r2--secretary OF
War Baker will tolerate no dscrim-
nation between white men and ne
groes in the administration of the Sc
lective draft when reports were
brought to his attention today TO the
effect that such discrimination had oc-
Cured he said
Il have heard that draft boards in
adjoining counties take different
view OF practically identical facts
with regard to white men: but l never
heard OF the question being brought up
with regard to colored men; but the
answer in all of these cases Is that a
review is provided directly by the pres
ident. snd all that is necessary for
anybody to do who thinks there In a
grievance is to point II out to the war
department and II will be investigated
II the draft boards act unfairly we
will correct their action.
The war department will brook no
discrimination, and any cases OF al
legged or suspected dtscrim nation
brought to our attention will be inves-
ttgated and any wrong done will be
righted."
