4 Proud
Story

Sir Thomas White will tell proud story
of buoyant revenues and successful war
finances. Last April he estimated revenue
OF S27O,OOO,O0O for the year ended March
81, 1913; actual receipts totalled S3O5 5.230.
So9 VI this amount customs duties con-
trlouted 4o.4 per cent; excise, 9.83 per cent:
postolnce revenue, $50 per cent: public
works, including railways and canals. 1884
per cent, and miscellaneous revenue jnc)ud
ing the business profits war tax, income tax
and various minor internal levies, 2234 per
cent. Certainly the policies of the govern
ments OF the United States and Canada IN
their relative dependence upon these income
sources are in sharp contrast From cur
rent revenue the Dominion government has
paid, since 1914, % per cent of the entire
cost of the War to this country. Or. tn
state the situation differently, revenues
have been so buoyant that they have NOT
only covered all current and capital exnen
dture, other than that for war nurnoses
but have given an additional surplus sutfi-
cient to defray 1854 per cent of Canada's
war costs.
The Dominion government entered the
present fiscal year with balance of more
than 5000 900, 900 on hand from the proceeds
OF the last victory loan. This will 90 a
long way toward meeting the remaining war
obligations. The Minister of Finance Ia
under necessity however, of raising an.
proximately S365,o00,o00 this year by taxa
tion. This is $5o.oooooo more than the
total revenue on consolidated fund account
during 191s-I9, without taking any account
of capital or war expenditure, whereas it
has been the policy of the government since
1914 to pay of the entire outlay on capital
account and part Of the war expenditure
from current income. Then, too, imports
are declining and ofacial and private efforts
are being made to provide consumption Of
mads-in- Canada goods instead of the inn

those British and French boys who lie from Ypres to the
APPS? And if America won the war with Germany,
hasn't she been making up for since by doing her
best to lose her of humor?"
The great outstanding fact that the war would have
been lost by the allies if America had gone to the
cue was known by all far-minded men long before Cen
cral Pershng made his report 1t was practically ack
rowedged at the beginning of June 1915 when the pre-
of Great Britain, France and Italy with the ap
pCva of Marshal Foch, sent President Wilson message
saying that there is grave danger of the war being lost

shops, newsstands, hotel, vegetable
farm and a hog farm where 1000 hogs
were raised on the wastes from eat
ing places. 1t maintained slaughter
house where these hogs were put
through the regular packing house
course. 1t operated laundry which
cleaned 7,493 pieces day. Then
there was q real estate department
that rented and managed the family
quarters and q housing department
which assigned to quarters everybody
excepting the families.
Under separate jurisdiction from its
community director were the police.
The health department, in charge of
a physician from New York city,
started with a small Office In one of
the temporary buildings, and was
soon full grown and ,splendidly
equipped. Conditions were favorable
to disease. The winter was the
severest on record In northern Ala
bama. The men were compelled to
work either in deep snow or mud above
their knees. AS a result pneumonia
epidemic developed among the Negroes
typhoid epidemic was threatened.
Moreover, the site Of the plant was In
the heart of the malaria district But
the pneumonia epidemic was checked,
the typhoid threat nipped in the bud,
and malaria stamped out.
A Health Record Established
The little first-aid hospital present
ly grew to a complete modern institu-
ton with a nurses home and a sep
arate dispensary for dental, eye, ear,
nose, throat, genito-urinary clinics and
q surgical dispensary for frst-ald
work
During the eight months when the
death rate was not affected by the III
fluenza and pneumonia epidemics the
general health rate was 12.4 per thou
sand per year, which is lower than In
most cities In the same latitude and
climate, and the pneumonia death rate
during the epidemic was lower than
in most army environments
Much Of the success Of the health
administration is due to the establish.
ment of the Muscle Shoals sanitary
district by the United States Public
Health Service.
The education and welfare depart
ment also had vital work to perform. ,
There was a school population of over
1000. The Secretary of War created
the community organization branch
of the Ordnance Department which,
with advice and aid of some Of the
greatest school men of the country |
prescribed the courses of study and !
recruited teachers from the best es
abolished systems.

Miss Blue Eys" Saturday.

Miss Blue Eyes," the laughing mu-
steal comedy success which plays at
the Arcade Theater next Saturday
matinee and Night offers to the the
t}tre-goers of this city two of the
best charms of nature, music and
laughter. Music the gift from hea-
ven, which lifts US from our earthly
troubles and transplants US to realms
of joy, while laughter the force that
attracts the good, dispels all gloom
and unites in friendship.
This new and successful musical
comedy was written by George V.
Hobart, well remembered by his won
.ertul play Of Experience" and his
"Ziegfeld Follies." Silvio Helm has
written a score with an unusual num-
der of catchy song hits. During
the run of the piece at the Both Street
Theatre, New York, it was known
as the "play with a thousand real
laughs"
The original New York production,
and cast headed by such we'll known
favorites as Peter Macarthur, Cen
its Jensen, Archie Folke and a score
of others. Oaks and Delour, renow-
ned whirlwind dancers and a charm
ing chorus of pretty girls, complete
this excellent organization. The seat

That is hardly fair impression to send QUIT is
unfair to Mr.. Wilson. We prefer to believe that Mr.
Wilson not always considering the interests of Mex
leo when he refrained from declaring openly for inter-
vento but that he rather had at heart the interests of
his country. President Carranza has known al the
wkile that American interests did not favor intervention
in Mexcothat is interests that would not directly ben
eft by armed intervention. The country is settling
back to normal and with prospect of inflated pro-
fits such as possible during the recent conflict,
would hardly temp big interests to return to basis
ard go through the same turmoil and unsettled condi-
tions again.
But the temper of any of the other presidential pos
sbites in America is what is worrying Carranza. He
would be very much annoyed if man of the Roosevelt
type to be elected president But far
able judge have of the Roosevelt type in the
presidential horizon unless it be McAdoo Hy John
