Allies Rife Strength November /.

November 1. when the enemy's re-
serves had been exhausted and his
front-iine strength reduced by about
half, the allies had rifle strength of
l,fS5.0eo, representing odds of upward
of to 1.
From July /. as the Americans con-
t1nued to arrive, the allied superiority
showed continued growth over the
Germans. who had dropped November
1 to a strength of S66,000.
When the great German drive was
launched in the spring of 1918 the
enemy had a definite superiority of
approximately 20 per cent, the figures
for April l showing an allied rifle
total of 1,569,000. The Germans
reached their maximum June /. with
1 ,639, 900, while the allies reached
their maximum on September /. with
1852, 900.
The meaning of the rife strength
upon which the table is based is made
clear by the fact that an American
division with total strength of ap-
proximately 27.0eo fighting men is
rated as 1850 rifles.
The department table shows that
the rush of American troops to Eu-
rope, when the German great drive
was launched. not only succeeded in
making good all allied losses from
month to mouth at the front. but
steadily increased the strength of the
allied armies actually engaged.

Democrats and republicans in the
Senate today joined in eritieising the
new British embargo on imports and

have on American industry.
Criticism of the British embargo
was voiced both by democrats and
republicans. Mr. Weeks and Senators
Lewis of Illinois. Smith of Georgia
and Reed of Missouri, democrats, lead
ing the complaints.
Senator Weeks said he did not
charge that the embargo is aimed
against the United States. but Sena-

listed are manufactured in the middle
west Warning that the embargo
might bring on a trade war was
given by Senator Lewis, who said:
II invite the attention of British
officials to the delicate situation.

own allies takes course SO inimical

tract from ms-Cary-H. S. Ker-
baugh. Mr.. Butler testified that the
loggers had made somewhat SINH
lar offer Earlier to Brig. Gen. -Brice
p Disque, but had received no reply
to their letter. Subsequently, the
Puget Sound loggers discovered the
Blodgett tract, with its $3.50, ,o00, 600
feet of spruce in Lincoln county Ore
gon, and made a contract with the
government to log the timber at
cost, plus $40, the $40 to represent
their sole, profit. s.
Ready to Start Logging
In testifying regarding the Blod
gett contract, Mr. Butler said that
a railroad twenty-four miles in length
was to be built south from Yaquina
Bay by the Warren Spruce company
and was to have been completed by
October 1, 1918. Instead the road
was not finished until after the arm
istice was signed.
In the meantime, Mr.. Butler said,
twenty big Puget Sound logging COM
panies, including the Cherry Valley
Lumber Company, operating IN King
county, the Sultan Railway and Tim
ber company, the Merrill Ring Lum-
Der company and other big firms
organized for their share of the work
and were preparing to be able by
April 1, 1919 to get OUT 10000, 900
feet of spruce each month. Before
the armistice was signed and before
the time the railroad was completed,
he said, the company had fallen
spruce trees that would produce A.
100000 feet of lumber and had nine
logging units loaded on cars for for
warding had seven "sides" construct
ed and would have been actively en-
gagged in logging within 80 days.
An expense of $4,000 had been in
Cured.
Early in the summer of 1917, Mr..
Butler testified, the West Coast Lum-
bermen's association rendered their
assistance in carrying out any pro-
gram the federal government might
adopt for getting out logs or hum
Der. In the fall of the same year,
he said, meeting was held at which

any crossroads philosopher could
show it to be of the two-bit variety.
It is the old golden calf which never
has and never can lead the people
out of the house of bondage. The
high priests of finaice urge the peo-
pie to look at this calf and to wor-
ship it because in that attitude the
people will miss the truth and will
let the game of big finance alone.
We get prosperity only by increas-
ing production. We can increase
production only when we buy back
from each other all that we produce.
There is no such thing as selling
without buying or producing without
using for a whole people. We can
imagine city working people living on
corn bread, potatoes and little
cheese or cheap sausage, and in how
els and clothed in rags instead of
good clean clothes. But if they did
this where would the farmers who
raises wheat, beef, vegetables, cot
ton, wool and hides be? Also what
would become of their efficiency as
workers? Or the farmer might live
like beast and what would become
of the market for the city mans pro-
duct?
Saving? Not at all. There would
not be any, because the labor earn
ings would fall to point of just
supporting this miserable existence.
And let no one say that temporarily
it might bring down prices. What do
the food trusts have great storage
houses for? They have been using
these to force us to pay more, and
we therefore have to deny ourselves
many essential things.
