WHERE THE
MONEYS TOGO.

One Of the questions most fire.
Guently asked in connection with the
Nictory-Liberty loan is: where is
the money to go?J
Folks find it hatd to understand
why Uncle Sam needs so many bill
lions Of dollars more now that the war
Is over.
Which after all isn't surprising.
But the average man fails to con
slider the tremendous preparation
that Uncle Sam had made before the
armis;ice was signed. Fails to un-
derstand that when the German gen
eral staff decided to surrender Uncle
Sam was just about ready to begin
fighting.
And in getting ready he had spent
money by the carload. But had pre-
pared in a way that meant utter de-
feat for Germany.
THE GERMAN GENERAL STAFF
KNEW THIS If WE FOLKS HERE
At HOME DIDN'T
They knew that we had more than
1000. 900 men in France and Bel
GUM. That we were perfecting our
airplane program That we were
producing munitions on scale never
approached by either England or
France That we were manufactur-
ing gas shells at a rate ten times
greater than Germany could make
them after four years of experience,
They knew that we would have an
army Of 100000 men by the sum
mer Of 1919.
This knowledge and the realization
that they could not hope to stand up
in the face of the onslaught that was
ahead Of them, forced the general
staff to plead for peace and sign an
armistice whose terms meant nothing
but complete capitulation, spelled
nothing short Of disgrace and utter
defeat.
And in accomplishing this Uncle
Sam had not only spent all the pro-
ceeds Of the Fourth Liberty loan and
all the returns from the 1918 tax col
lections, but had anticipated largely
the Fifth loan and the 1919 tax in
come.
The fact is that much Of this mon
ey has been speat already And the
fact that it was spent to such effect.
i've purpose u entirely responsible for
the quick and unexpected ending Of
the war.
And every man who appreciates
what that expenditure did; what il
accomplished. how it forced the Ger
mans to quit cold, and that there is
still big lot Of overhanging bills to
pay to say nothing Of bringing the
boys back home
Will subscribe to the Nictory-Lib-
erty Loan to the limit.

Remember the Golden Rule.

Perhaps the person isn't living who
hasn't certain little peculiarities, but
that is no reason why some narrow.
minded individual should take it upon
herself to weave into whole cloth those
tiny, discordant Rawlings and then
pass on her discovery" to anyone who
will listen. If the listener is believer
in the Golden Rule she will not only
turn deaf ear to such recital, but
dismiss her uncharitable informant as
quickly as Observation-Disclosures.

What Canals Can Do.

There are 400 miles of navigable
waterways in Britain, yet the actual
percentage OF craft on them at the
moment is less than one per mile. On
the other hand, Germany owes much
to her highly efficient and economical
canal system. Her water roads link
up 700 Industrial centers. and goods
sent by canal route cost much less
than by rail.

Washington, Aug. 31. - President Wilson in a Labor day message to American workers tonight announced that he would call in the. near future conference of representatives of la DOT and industry ito discuss funda- mental means of bettering the whole relationship of capital and labor and putting the whole question of wages upon another footing"
 The president said he was encour- aged and pleased with the results thus far of the governments efforts to bring down the cost of living and expressed confidence that substantial results would be achieved in solving this problem. Patience and vigilance, how ever, must Joe exercised and the gov ernments efforts must have the CO., operation of every citizen. Presuma bly, referring to the existing labor unrest and threats of strikes. the president appealed to every citizen to refrain from doing anything that would tend to increase the cost of living, but in stead to do all possible to promote pro- duction.
 The president expressed particular qualification at the attitude taken by the representatives of organized labor in supporting the governments pro- gram to meet requests for additional wages through lowering living costs and said he hoped that the workers themselves would move with the gov ernment instead of against it in the solution of this great domestic prob lem"
 The Labor day message as made public tonight at the White House fol- lows:
 T am encouraged and gratified by the progress which is being made in controlling the cost of living. The support of the movement is widespread and I confidently look for substantial results, although I must counsel pa tience as well as vigilance because such results will not come instantly or without team work.
 Let me again emphasize my appeal to every citizen of the country to con- tinue to give his personal support in this matter. and to make it a. active S possible. Let him not only refrain from doing anything which at the moment will tend to increase the cost of living, but let him do all in his power to increase tho production; and

AUTOCRAcYv
 CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES

Richmond, Va, Aug. 31.-Efforts of the government to restore normal price conditions will fail so long as a financial autocracy is kept in power through the imitation of prices and values Glen E. Plumb. author of the proposed tri-partite railroad control plan, declared tonight in addressing a meeting of the organized railroad en- ployees of Richmond. MT. Plumb add ed that the time is at hand to strike out bravely in the direction of funda- mental economic recons trudction-"
 As receiver for bankrupt Europe" Wall Street is selhshly concerned in keeping up this imitation. asserted Plumb, adding that the hazardous" investments of the United States in United States in Europe were pro- prices for what we sell" The speaker likened Europe to a run down rail- road" staggering under the burden of heavily watered book value as a result of the "manipulations of Wall Street and other money centers.
 With the cause of high prices worldwide and fundamental, does the president believe that the value of money can be restored by setting up temporary chain stores under govern ment supervision. or by punishing in dividual hoarders of food ?" asked MT. Plumb. ITO be asked to wait upon the success or failure of this campaign is IS though we were told to suffer in silence while an unhealthy financial process continues its operations un- checked and unchallenged."
 Declaring that the issue before American Ia bor today was not "intrin sically a wage issue at all" Plumb said that if a strike vote were re- turned by the railroad shopmen in re- iection of the presidents decision on their demand for IT per cent. in crease in wages. the issue would al most inevita bly, extend beyond the field of wage adjustments and into the field of economic reconstruction.
 While increased production throughout the world is urgently needed to bring relief from present economic conditions, Plumb said. men cannot increase their productivity in system which bestowS the profits from a greater effort upon non pro- ducers" This can come only, he said, through participa tion of labor in the management and control of industry.

MANAGERS ARE PLANNING
 TO OPEN THEIR THEATRES

New York. Aug. 31.-While it was impossible to learn authoritatively to- night if the Producing Managers Pro- tective association intended to recog- nize the Actors Equity association in the offer of a new form of actors con- tract announced last night. it was strongly hinted that the managers were planning an attempt to open the strikebound theatres with players fur nished exclusively by the rival Actors Fidelity league.
 Officials of the Equity. on the other hand, were claiming victory "in sight result of the managers new con- tract that would permit actors to Se- feet officials from '.an aSsocia ton" to act as arbitrators in the settlement of any differences arising under the con- tract The new contract granted vir- tually all the Equity's demands save that for unequivocal recognition of the Equity.
 All day today directors of the Fidel- ity were in conference. Although little could be learned as to what occurred at the meeting, it was stated that the question of reopening the closed thea tres with casts made up of Fidelity members was considered. How this could be accomplished in the face of the sympathetic stand of striking stage hands, musicians and electricians and of opposition from the American Fed eration of Labor. with which the Equity association is affiliated. was not disclosed.
 Frank Gilmore. secretary of the Equity association, made public to- night a letter from Samuel Untermyer warning the actors that he believes them wrong in disclaiminS any thought of insisting upon the closed shop Unless they win a "closed shop he declared. it would be but short time until the mana gers. by discrimination against Equity mem bers. would have wrecked the organ ization.
