WAR WAS CHEAP
IF YOU BELIEVE
MONEY EXPERTS
Treasury Statisticians Figure
u. S. Paid 33c a Day Per
Man to Beat Germany

It cost Mr.. American Citizen just
thirty three and one-half cents day to
wage the war.
This is what the statisticians OF the
Treasury Department at Washington
figure the cost of the war to be for
each man, woman and child in the
United States, and from that they
deduct that the individual in this coun-
try had an easy time of it in financing
this country's part in the great world
struggle.
AS nearly as can be estimated the
total cost of the war in money to the
American people from the declaration
of hostilities April 6, 1917, until the
signing of the armistice November IL,
1918, amounted to twenty-six billion
dollars. The Census Bureau on Janu-
ary /, 1919, set the population Of
the United States at approximately
1O4 100000 people. From April 6, 1917.
until November II, 1919 is GAO days.
The Treasury experts made two simple
divisions and found-America pail
thirty-three and one-half cents pei
capita per day for the war.
The twenty-six billion dollars usei
in the estimate of the cost Of the wa,
included the amount to be raised By
the Victory Loan. This final loan II
was pointed out by the government
officials will 60 ir large part to paying
for supplies ordered for the army
before the cessation of hostilities andl
for the expense of demobilizing ou:I
wartime military forces, both of which |
must 0e counted as war expenses.

And the money will come back into
circulation, making more business, in
creasing the market and demand 1or

SHOT 9 TIMES
SOLDIER TAKES
HUN TRENCHES
Corporal Storms Heights of
Ourcq River With Rem
nants of His Platoon

At the direction of the War Depart
ment General Pershing has forwarded
from France accounts of 100 deeds Of
heroism performed by soldiers of the
American forces, most typical of the
spirit of our army. The story of Cor
poral Sidney Manning is one of con-
spicuous gallantry.
Corporal Manning was in charge Of
an automatic rifle squad when his bat
talon assaulted the heights of the
Ourcq River. During the advance on
the hill Manning's platoon commander
was killed, and just as the line reached
the crest of the hill the platoon ser.
geant fell.
Corporal Manning then assumed
command of the platoon. Though he
himself was severely wounded and was
the only survivor of his squad, this SOL
dier led forward the 35 remaining men
of the platoon against an enemy
strong point, wired, entrenched and
defended by machine guns, which dom
mated the Ourcq valley. He was re-
peatedly wounded but with seven men
took the position. While his men con-
solidated the line he held off consid-
cradle number of the enemy fifty yards
away with his rifle. When the posi-
ton had been consolidated he crawled
back to shelter, having received nine
wounds.
Backing up such examples of sacri.
fee as this the government is callingj
on the people to take the Victory Loanl
to pay for the expenses of our warj
time army.

UNIoNIsM OR BoISHEvISM

The sudden illness of Samuel Com
pers at Washington has lent addi-
tional force to the last speech he de-
hvered in public. 1t was a solemn
warning to the industrial conference
that unless the steel strike were
treated in a spirit of compromise,
and the employers accepted arbitra-
ton, b~olshevism, in the form Of /.
W, w. leadership, might gain con
troll of American labor.
Mr.. Gompers in recent years has
represented the conservative element
of the Federation of Labor. 1t is
due largely. perhaps chiefly, to his
efforts that the conservatives have
kept the upper hand during the war
and since the armistiee. He and his
kind may seem radical enough TO
the employing class generally. but
Mr.. Gompers is perfectly right about
it when he calls attention to their
comparative steadiness, and to the
red" peril that is always invading
their " ranks and threatening re-
spectacle unionism no less than cap
italism. He says:
We have never yet made an as
sault-and it is farthest from our
thought-upon the rights of proper
ty or the rights of management; but
/ say to you, gentlemen, you may
win this strike unless you consent
hat it shall be adjusted after the ia
shion that we have so literally pro-
posed; but if you reject that method
and the steel strike goes on and lasts
a month or two or three months, and
drags out, and you have won, and
these men (the |. w. w. agitators)
are going about the country and
preaching the doctrine of their I'M
bearable conditions and the tyranny
which they experience and the in
justices which have been melted out
to them, then whatever betide, you
have sown the seed and will bear the
consequence.
Our movement is constructive in
character. You may dislike it. You
may dislike us well enough or suf-
iciently not to wish to meet with
US in u representative capacity;
you may not want to enter into
agreements with US; but let me say
this to you: You will either come to
agreement with us, or you will des-
troy the ability of our men in our
movement to stand up for the fight.
I'VE will be discarded as impo-
tent or u%nfaithful; and if you dis
card us, if you decline to enter into
agreement with us, you will have
somebody worse than US to deal
with"

of the great obligation resting upon
them in the careful finding of indict-
ments. Minute directions and explain
ations of different phases of crime
were given by Judge Lowe. Said
Judge Lowe: II have long known and
recent events have emphasized the
fact that citizenship means more than
having rights and protection. The
benefits derived by individuals inn
poses obligations and duties on every
citizen" Judge Lowe emphasized the
fact that the present form of finding
indictments dated back to ancient
times, and no better has yet been
found. The system might have Its
weaknesses, but 1t was the best we
had. The Jurors chosen were asked
to consider themselves especially ia
vored in being chosen for such an i'm
portant trust. They were asked to do
their duty cheerfully and we'll, apply
| ing judgment and careful considera-
ton to the finding Of indictments. The
sort of crime which warranted indict-
ments was carefully gone into by the
Judge this morning. Judge Lowe felt
that middle ground should be struck
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-09-16

With an elimination of petty fndict-
nents, not worth trouble and consid-
Grafton. He told the jurors they had
teh right to call for added witnesses;
that the court and its officers were
read yto do their part in this.
THE events of the last few years
have almost swept US from our moor
ings; the world has been a seethlng
volcano. Established customs have
been torn away-even kingdoms have
disappeared. We're gradually emery
ing from the situation-trying to I'M
scramble eggs, as it were, and get
back to peace basis. Judge Lowe
depolred the great radlcalism which
existed everywhere, in an effort TO
impress upon the minds of the jurors
the necessity TO rcareful consideration
of the offenses occurring in our imme-
diate midst. He wished special stress
laid on the fact that there were those
woh attempted to right injustices,
real or fancied, by means of the bullet
and by means Of crime. There should
be no leniency shown men who in any
manner disobeyed the laws Of the
government. There was no justtfca-
ton whatsoever in armed men at
tempting to rule by forces The right
way for reform was through the bal
lot, INTO the bullet, and men who pre-
ferred the latter should go to Europe,
where Bolsheyism held full sway just
now.
Judge Lowe spoke of the boot
leggers and their reasons for continu-
ing in business. There were too many
loop-holes for the bootlegger to get
! through. He relied on someone to
help him out straight to the end. First
it was the wink of the sheriff or the
nod Of the police. Then it was the
justice who WIS expected to be easy.
After that if conviction could not be
avoided, maybe the court would help
him out. MI be thu prosecuting at
torney would pigeon-hole his case.
That failing, perhasp the governor
was under obligations somewhere.
There was always something which
might be the means Of getting him
freed. Until all these avenues of es-
cape were closed, the bootleggeA had
no intention of quittil:. Cover all
these gateways fescape," said Judge
Lowe, with emphasis.
According to the new law, five jul
rors who were missing this morning
were provided with substitutes within
very short time by others selected
on the streets outside by Commission
ers Tom Jones and Carroll Currey.
Mr.. Currey was NOT present in the
court room at l oTclock and Judge
Lowe appointed Homer C. Toothman
in his place. Mr.. Toothman was not
at all anxious to serve, on account of
pressing duties in another line, but
was over-persuaGS~l by the judge.
Five men not being available in the
court room, five men were soon
brought in f1,m out of doors as fol-
lows: S. Ray HolbeTt, D. B. Snyder,
L. E. Morgan, N. C. aPrrish and Ward
