Marne in which American troops have
participated, has begun to show in
the casualty lists. Sundays list OF
225 names is the longest given out

pearance on the battle front. The list,
however, it was believed, gives casual
ties resulting from the recent Ger
man offensive rather than from the
counter stroke.
Total casualties in the army and
marine corps overseas increased to
1850 during the week compared with
9S3 the previous week, and aggregate
l3. 766 with the inclusion of Sunday S
army list of 225 and the marine corps

COST OF THE LIBERTY LOAN.

Most people will be astonished at
the small cost of floating the country's
three great war-bOnd issues. Accord
ing to the official report of the treas
ury department, the total expense of
all the liberty loan campaigns up to
June 80 was $2,7O9. .4SO.SO, of which
81 $1,246,65O.31 was incurred by the va
rious federal reserve banks. The sum
of $176,157 was spent for publicity
$3S,414 for posters and stickers, S21,-
III for buttons, and other items in
clude salaries, travelling expenses, rem
tails, postage, etc. 1t cost S744,559 tc
engrave and print the bonds, and pa
per used cost $171,S20.
Certainly, the price paid TO estab
lish the governments war credit ha:
been an insignificant one in view o.
the remarkable returns.

waiting a short while we were served
with real army stew" There were
times we hung around the harbor,
then one morning we woke up to find
ourselves wandering around in the At
lantic, and from then on no one knew
exactly where we were.
Before | got on board ship / said to
myself that l would not get sick and

but one meal, and that was because l
was asleep.
We had a fine trip, exceptionally
good weather for this time of the year,

once. 1t was a soldier and sailor,
to a post, so / had a sailor too. Our
post was almost from one end of the
boat to the other, so I got to see quite
a bit of the inside of the ship. Then
in the evening we began to make a
tour of the galleys (kitchen) and as
my sailor knew the way, we never
went hungry that night.
An amusing thing happened that
night. 1t was about o'clock one
morning when the old whistle began
to blow. 1t must have footed three or
four minutes, and in the meantime the
fellows began to pour out of the
matches, life preservers on and some
scared to DEATH Come to find out the
whistle was blown by electricity, and
there was a short circuit some place.
We have a great life on board, al
right; just eat, sleep and play cards,
but no gambling, for every one is
broke.

with my "buzzer." At times it was
rather noisy, but one day hit fifteen
words a minute, receiving. l could
not do it every day, but was feeling
fine then. My average is twelve to

Well we got into port one evening,
then later pulled into the docks. Some
of the poorer French people came out
in boats to sell stuff They had APP
pies and chocolates. Chocolate bars
are the main candy here. Almost every
little kid had boat and some choco-
late to sell. They have the funniest
ways of propelling a boat 1t is call

in the water and manage to make
quite a bit of Roadway. q

The Kimberly high school basket
ball team made a trip to Rupert this

Jim Thompson, as forward; Lee
Venom, as forward; Earnest Emer-
son, as center; Ray Eubanks and Fray
Frahn as guards, and Jay Scott as a
substitute.
But, the Rupert team evidently was

AVIATORS STOP HERE
ON PRACTICE FLIGHS

Five airplanes, en- route to Okla
homa City, passed over ArdmoTt
late yesterday afternoon. Two OF
the machines landed at the Country
Club and rcplenished their stores OF
oil and gasoline.
Many Ardmore people were under
the impression that one OF the
planes had fallen south OF the city
and a large number went to the
point in cars. 1t developed that the
pilot was merely looking for a
landing place and had landed safely.
The machine resumed its flight and
landed near the Country Club.
Six planes started from Taliiater-
ro Field, Hicks, Texas, under the
direction of Lieutenant McCumber,
who was accompanied by Lleuten-
ant Wilson, but this plane was
forced to make a landing at Mari
eta and the other machines came
on ahead OF it,
The planes that landed here were
