CYCLIST UNITS WON PRAISE
How the "Petrol Cavalry" Did Its
Part in the Crushing of the
Detested Hun.

During the recent actions in France
the military cyclist units have won
well-earned praise, London Mt-Bits
says.
When it is remembered that we'll
trained military cyclists can cover 60
miles a day on average roads and
come into action fit at the end of the
ride something of their advantage over
cavalry can be realized. Cycles I'M
like horses, do not tire rapidly, and,
furthermore, require neither food nor
drink.
In rearguard action, when whole
armies are falling back into new posi-
lions, it is difficult to send up supplies
to horses, and even the transport OF
infantry in omnibuses causes congesv
ton of the traffic. Cyclists. on the
other hand, can literally get through
anywhere"
The men are all skilled riders, and
practiced shots, and above all, well
trained in map reading and finding
their own way. Carrying the normal
equipment Of cartridges on their per-
son and further supply on each ma
chine, they come into action quickly
and bring their full fire power to bear.
1t is now 30 years since military
cyclists were officially recognized
among the official forces of the crown,
but it was never thought that they
would play such valuable part as
the Petrol Cavalry" has done in this
great struggle.

VICTORY LOAN WILL
PUT COUNTRY BACK
ON PEACE BASIS
Billions Needed To Pay Produe-
ers And Teach Manned
Soldiers New Trades.

Once IN while someone asks.
Whats the need Of another Liberty
Loan now that the wars over?"
Officials of the War Loan orgaAiza-
ton in this district have replied by
outlining some Of the purposes for
which money will be needed by the
Government next spring.
1t is shown that the amount raised
by the Fourth Liberty Loan lasted
only until December first. Expendi
lures are going on now at the rate
of nearly two billion dollars month
There will be gradual reduction OF
treasury disbursements as the war
debts are wiped out. The revenue
from taxes will not be sufficient to
pay all the bills. so the people will be
called upon to provide the money by
subscribing to Government bonds The
issue will be for not more than six
billion dollars.
Pay Day at Home.
This enormous outlay of money Is
going to pay of the army of produc-
ers at home-the farmers, merchants,
manufacturers and others. America
had just begun to fight when the Hun
decided it was time to quit. Allied
leaders expected the war to last an
other year and the United States Gov
eminent was turning out ships. arms.
ammunition and food with view to
Overwhelming Germany next fall.
Treasury officials have revealed that
America would have had tank at the
front for every seventy-fve feet Of the
line in 1919-thirty thousand tanksi
We would have had ten tons of mus
tard gas ready for shipment for every
ton Germany could produce. Thou
sands of batteries of guns would have
been in action for every one America
had in 1918. Everything else was be-
Ing produced in proportion.
This gigantic preparation brought
an early end to the war and saved
thousands of lives. Victory Bonds will
pay for this work which had been con-
tracted for and was being delivered
! Wn6n the drinlSllce was SlSueu'
Army Being Demoblized.
There are other purposes for which
money is needed.
Part of our army Of two million men
must De kept in Europe until the peace
treaty Is signed These soldiers must
be fed, clothed and otherwise main
tanned. Then they must be brought
home The sick and wounded must
be cared for in hospitals. The army
must be demobilized. There are thou
sands of manned soldiers, heroes o.
the great war, who must be taught
self-supporting trades and given al
opportunity to earn their living.
This reconstruction work at hoHas
must be carried on The job must be
finished. The American people who
furnished the money to win the wal
must supply it also to bring the nation
back to peace basis.

LAW Elxinn Tanks operate.

One of the reasons why the Ger
mans quit was that the flying tank
was coming into large use by the al
lies. The Huns had learned to dread
any hint of tank but their own. The
flying tank is an armored battleplane
that could not be punctured by small
artillery and the business it could do
with the enemy was something fierce.

points out that The fact that % per cent

rent asked Is justified when the pres

sion at this time would bring forth
from other sources severe criticism. '

sufficient reason for the present rents.

I'VE had a conference recently with one
OF our largest shipOwners. lie had urged
Congress 10 require us Go reduce our
price Of $500 90 S225 per ton, TO 1925
10 $40 per ton We asked him how
many ships his companies would buy

We then asked how many the entire
shipping interests OF the country would

We then asked, How does that leave

our best hand-pciked ships at 40 per
cent. less than cost We are left with
more than 1900 ships Of all SORTS on our
hands, which the government must Op-
crate in competition with the better

not solve the problem.
What, then, IS the solution?
Congress should let it be understood
