MR.. WILSON'S ADVISORS.

Washington gossip tells Of a growing GOODNESS between
President Wilson and Col. House, said to be due to the. Shan
tung clause in the peace treaty. Col. House is credited with
having advised its acceptance, and Mr.. Wilson is said to realize
now that it was a grave error of judgment.
1t j, of course, gossip pure and simple, and may have
little rsno foundation. Meanwhile it is reported that w. G..
McAdoo is now a regular caller at the White House, and the
same gossip has it that Mr.. McAdoo has been consulted fire.
quently on labor problems. He is said to have advised the
calling of a conference of capital, labor, farmers and middle
men to settle industrial problems, but Secretary Lane also adj
vocated a similar plan. 49,
Whether or not the gossip has any foundation in fact, it
serves to cali attention to an interesting list Of men who have
stood high in; Mr.. Wilson's councils but who have stepped
out of the ln1elight when their wills crossed with his. The list
began with Gel Harvey and has come down through Mr..
Bryan, MI Garrison, George Creel and Frank Walsh to Col.
House. Secretary Burleson also is said to have been at one
time the Presidents political adviser, but the Presidents pub
lie appeal for a Democratic congress was: charged up as a
strategic error to Mr.. Burleson.
MI. Wilson's mind, if his biographers can be believed,
is of the type that does not like opposition or criticism, but
which functions best on appreciation and concurrence from
those about him.
Mr.. Roosevelt welcomed criticism and outspoken disagree
ment in his advisers.
MI. Wilson prefers to study the written word; Mr.. Roose.
welt liked the spoken word.
Mr.. Wilson's mind turns inward to speculation and logic;
Mr.. Roosevelt's expanded to gather Inspiration and advice or
criticism from his fellow men-Fargo Forum. -.

welt is the best place ever IN which3to

Camp Roosevelt, a summer camp for
boys, is under the direction Of regular
army officers, men who were commits
STONED by the army to take charge of
r. at. c. work-in the Chicago high
schools during the war. The summer
is divided into two week periods but
boys may stay longer is they desire
to do SO. Walter spent the entire 8
weeks at camp. Although there were
only 1000 boys there at any one time,
during the summer 1000 or more en-
poyed the privileges of the camp.
The camp is conducted entirely al
ong military lines, the boys wearing
the regular uniform Of the Reserve
Officers Training Camp and living in
army tents and according to army re-
gulations. The life is largely an out

voted to athletics. Walter was a mem

Orphaned Fawn Adopts
Man as Its Guardian

Williamsport, Pa. = George
Hummel, a resident Of Liberty,
while fishing at the head Of
Gray's run, heard a fawn bleat-'
ing in the woods up the noun
tain side, and upon investiga-
ton came upon a strange sight.
On the ground lay a dead doe
with a dead fawn by her side,
while a live fawn stood guard
nearby. The live animal had
worn a path where it had trot-
ted around the body Of the moth
er. There were no bullet holes
in the carcass. Mr.. Hummel had
some cookies In his pocket
which he fed to the little faWn,
and. the animal followed him
home, apparently content that it
had found a friend. Mr.. Hum
mel reported the case to a game
protector and is caring Tor the
fawn.

FIGURES Of AMERICAS PART IN
WAR PASS ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS
Col. Leonard ?. Ayers Prepares a Remarkable Statistical Summary
Showing Comparative Costs in Men, Money and Material
for All the Countries Engaged-cost t. the United
States Is $22,000,O0o,00o.

Washington.-The war cost the
United States directly about $22.OOo,-
100000, or nearly enough to pay the
entire cost of running the American
government from 1901 up to tn. out
break of the European wal. For every
hundred American soldiers and sail.
ors who served in the war with Ger
many two were killed or died Of dis
ease during the period Of hostilities.
The number of men serving in the
armed forces Of the nation during the
war was 100000, Of whom 100000
served in the army.
These facts are set forth in a sta
tistical summary of 1.-THE War With
Germany" compiled under the direc-
ton Of Col. Leonard P. Ayers, chief of
the statistics branch Of the general
staff of the army.
This summary, just published by
Colonel Ayers by direction Of the Sec
Rotary Of war, is q complete review of
Americas participation in the war
against Germany condensed into less
than $50 pages. It is q detailed sum
mary Of American military operations,
and yet the long statistical tables
usually found in official reports are
entirely lacking.
Col. Leonard P. Ayers is the only Of
fcer from civilian life who has risen
to the position of chief Of a division
OF the general staff. Before the war
he was a director of the Russell Sage
Foundation. He was chief statistical
officer Of the peace committee. After
his return, here he received the dis.
tinguished service medal.
Some Of the Figures.
Some Of the statistical summaries
In the report show:
The a cost the United States con-
siderably more than 100000 an hour
for over two years.
Americas expenditures in the wal
were sufficient to have carried on the
Revolutionary war continuously for
more than a thousand years at the
rate Of expenditure which that wal
actually involved.
During the first three months ex-
p~enQltures were at the rate Of $4,000
600 q day. During the next year they
averaged more than $22,OOO,OOO q day.
For the final ten months the daily
average was over $44,OOO,O0O.
The total war costs of all nations
were about $780, O0,OOO,0O0 Of which
the allies and the United States spent
two-thirds and the enemy one-third.
The three nations spending the
greatest amounts were Germany,
Great Britain and France, in that or
der. After them come the United
States and Austria Hungary. with sub.
Stanttally equal expenditures.
The United States spent about one.
eighth Of the entire cost Of the war
and something less than one-flfth OF
the expenditures of the allied side.
The total battle deaths of all ma
lions in this war were greater than all
deaths In all the wars in the previous
hundred years.

ID the first 20 months after the dec
laration Of wars By each country the
British did better than the United
States In the production Of light Artil-
lery, and the United! States excelleds
them in producing heavy artillery and;
both light and heavy ammunition.
At the end Of the war American pro.
ducdon Of smokeless powder wal. -
per cent greater than the French and
British production combined. The
American production Of high explo-
sives was 40 per cent greater than
Great Britain's and nearly double that
Of France.
Out Of every hundred days that
American combat divisions were in
line in France they were supported by
their own artillery for 70 days hy
British artillery for five days and by
French for one and a half days.
In round numbers, America had In
France $500 pieces Of artillery, Of
which nearly 500 were made In Amer.
lea, and Americans used on the firing
line $3.50 pieces, of which over 100.
were made In America.
Airplans Production.
When the United States entered the
war the allies. made the designs Of
their planes available to Americans,
and before the end Of hostilities fur.
nished from their W manufacture
$500 service planes
Aviation training schools In the
United States graduated 8.602 men
from elementary courses and 1923
from advanced courses. More than g.
coo pilots and observers were sent
overseas.
There were produced in the United
States to November 80, 1918, more
than 5000 training planes and more
than 10000 training engines.
The American air force at the front
grew from three squadrons in April to
As in November, 1918. On November
II the IS squadrons had an equipment
Of 40 planes.
OF 2,698 planes sent to the zone Of
the advance for American aviators,
667. or nearly one-fourth, were Of
American production.
American air squadrons brought
down in combat 755 enemy planes,
while their own losses Of planes num-
bered only 357.
American divisions were In battle
for 200 days and engaged in Is major
operations.
From the middle of August until the
end Of the war the American divisions
held during the greater part of the
time a front longer than that held by
the British,
In October the American divisions
held 101 miles Of line, or % per cent OF
the entire western front.
In the battle Of st. Mihiel $4,000
Americans were engaged, compared
with about 100000 on the northern
side in the battle of Gettysburg. The
artillery fred more than 100000
shells in four hours, which is the most
intense concentration Of artillery fire
recorded in history:
The Meuse-Argonne battle lasted fol
AZ days, during which 100000 Ameri
can troops were engaged.
