est" with the American army in
France.
For use in tho coming campaign,
the Victory Liberty Loan committee
in Washington asked General John
Pershing to forward to America the
100 bravest acts performed by his men
during the great struggle. After long
and careful consultation with his board
OF generals that decides who is wor-
thy to receive the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross, the Hundred Immortals
were named.
Five of the eight men named from
the Ninth District died In the per-
formance OF the feat that won them
undying fame In American history.
Paying insurance to the relatives of
these men who thought life cheap
when country and honor were at stake.
is one Of the reasons why the Victory
Liberty Loan must succeed. Comment

the eight men from his district, A. r.

saved the officers life but Peck was
riddled with bullets. His death was
instantaneous. He left a wife and a
baby that he never saw. They live

grounds are ideal for such a tour

with all the necessary buildings, as
they are the grounds Of the County
Fair association. The entrance fee
will allow more money to be spent in

large enough to tempt the most dis
tant companies. That Iron River is
one of the most active towns in the
upper peninsula is fact that is gen.
orally recognized everywhere, and it
has a surprisingly large number of
smaller places to draw from. The chief
says it is no wild estimate when he
figures that $4,000 to 10000 people
will attend.

U. S. WAS FAR BEHIND
IN WAR EXPENDITURES
EnIi9htoning information From Fig
uScs Computed by War
Department.

Those who believe that the United
States has contributed far moro to the
prosecution OF the war than any Of
the other allies, may CLEAN some en-
tightening information from figures re-
Gently compiled by the Treasury De-
partment.
These figures show that In compari-
son with Great Britain, for example,
this country was far behind in total
expended.
The latest available statistics show
that Great Britain's war bill totalled
$37,100,000,000. In comparison with
$lS,4S1, 100000 for the United States.
Criticism has been heard that this
country loaned Great Britain, France
and others Of the allies all the money
they spent. The Treasury figures also
disprove this statement. Our total
loans to the Allies were S7,S75 ,O00, 900
and Great Britain lent s8, 500, 100000.
Even France. generally considered
poor war spender, devoted more to
winning the war than did America
with total of $4,000 ,OOO, 900. Russia
was right behind us with $4,000 ,0O0,-
