The Argonne-Its Cost and
Value.

m nUCH has been written about the
|NV0 battle of the Argonne, but great
UAIll deal more remains to be written.
Few Americans yet appreciate its ire
mendous Importance. The prevailing feel
ing about the battle is probably one Of re-
gret over the big loss of life It was I'M
questionably the most costly fight in which
Americans ever engaged. But according
to expert testimony, even in the seeming
prodigality of life during those few grim
weeks in the Argonne hills and forests,
there was true economy.
Frederick Palmer, long famous as a war
correspondent and now lieutenant col
onel, in recent speech in New York City,
declared that the 10000 casualties that
this long drawn battle cost saved the ma
ton million casualties-the toll that
would have had to be paid if the war had
continued until the coming summer, as
nearly everybody expected.
The battle seems to have been due to
sudden inspiration on the part of the milf
tary command Whether it was Foch's
idea or Pershing's is not revealed. But
Palmer testifies that the original plans did
not contemplate an offensive in the Ar
gonne until 1919. After the taking of ST.
Mihiel, the American army was to move
against Metz. 1t was while the army was
in the midst of its preparations for ST..
Mihiel that orders were given for the Ar
,gonne drive to follow Immediately after
ward.
The army was not well prepared for
that tremendous task, upon which no other
army, French Or British, had dared ven
ture in the four years of war. But the men
and materials were thrown together; the
attack was launched and kept up day af-
ter day in spite of art-breaking losses;
Germany threw in her best against Ameri-

GOVERNMENT NEEDS
A BILLION DOLLARS
To- Make up Deficit on Roads

Washington, May 24-The Gov
ernment will require $1,2O8, 900
to cover the 1918 deficit,in the oper-
alton of the railroads and meet the
requirements in 1919, according to
an estimate submitted to the House
by Walter D. Hines, Director Gen
eral of the Railroads. This esti-
mate, which stated that the loss to
the government in the operation of
the railroads up to May 1, 1919, was
$486, 900, was furnished Secre-
tary Glass, who transmitted it to
Representative James w. Good,
Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee.
Congress is asked by Secretary
Glass to pass a bill carrying this
amount as an addition to the railroad

filibuster. Increasing deficits in
1919, due to decreased traffic and
other reasons, have compelled the
Railroad Administration to ask for
an additional $450,00O,OOO.
Mr.. Good, upon receipt Of the re-
quest which briefly ana1yzed the fl
nancia1 end of the Government op-
Grafton of the railroads, announced
that the committee would begin
hearings on bill next week. Direc-
tor General Hines and other officials
will appear before the committee.
The appropriation for the railroads
will be made a separate bill and will
not be carried in the General Defic-
iency bill, which failed of passage
in the last session. 1t is believed
that there will be little opposition
to the passage of the bill in Con-
gress.
In his letter, Director General
Hines said that the operating deficit
for the first four months of 1919
| was 50,O00,000, which is greater
than the deficit for the entire year
Iof 1918 when the operating deficit
tamounted to $236,1S0,s40. If Con-
Igress grants the request the total re-
Ivolying fund apportioned to the rail-
roads since Government control be-
