OUR WAR COST
 RELATIVELY SMALL

(John C.. Lonsdale in Railway Age)
 Though the figures of our national indebtedness are huge, the ratio to our national wealth is very small. and will probably never reach the ratio devel oped by Civil War expenditures to the nations wealth as it then eX isted
 True, as some may point out, we have never paid all of this Civil War bill, but it was not because we couldn't. Uncle Sam has treated it. much as the millionaire individual who renews from time to time a s100 note at the bank. If so requested, he could pay it at any time, but the bank is glad to have his paper, and so it rocks along without serious thought from either party. If the note were 100000 it would prob ably have been paid at it's first ma turity. So, when Uncle Sam comes out of this war with his heavy obligations. special arrangements vii be made to meet them. Liberty bonds will be paid-and no one thinks otherwise.
 Our national wealth and our annual national income have been estimated at 250 billions and 40 billions respec- lively, while our war expenditures will be, it is thought about 15 billions a year when our industries are fully converted to a war basis. But, as a matter of fact, if the estimate of our income gave due consideration to war prices. the total would probably be 60 billions instead of 40 billions.
 Some idea of. the enormously in- creased production, which includes, oi course a great deal of war material
 may be gained from the fact that in- 1 come and excess profits taxes which il was originally estimated would yield | 21a billion dollars for 1917 will prob | ably yield more than billions. These | figures are significant, too, as sup | porting what has previously been said | about the ease with which our pre-
 war national debt of billion dollars could have been discharged.

The Railroads War Problems

MT. Walker D. Hines director general of the U S railroad administration an address at Pitsburg on Wednesday night asked for a more adequate under standing on the part of the public of the problems facing the railroads during the war The people may find study of those problems interesting but they are more deeply concerned in the solution of them now some six months after the The problems of the railroad administration, to the average man it seems ought to solve themselves.
 The government a year before it assumed the di- rection of the railroads and six months before we declared should get into the war by means of the Adamson law threw heavy load upon the rail- roads under which they struggled for something more than year.
 In November of 1917 the government took over the railroads The thing that perhaps precpitated this action of the government the coal situation Many parts of the country already that early in the season were in the grasp of a coal famine, due in part and in very large part to the governments price fixing operations in which Secretary Baker months before had overruled sensible plan worked out by Secretary Lane and others thus creat- ing coal shortage at the mines at time of the year when the movement of coal the mines is generally well under way.
 This circumstance together with the fact that there was much greater demand for coal than ever
 
 supplies was reaching it's maximum. produced a most serious situation which however the railroads were meeting much more successfully than any care fu observer could have expected
 The country still remembers the confusion that immediately ensued upon government management with it's plans for cutting down ton miles" and for giving preference to certain commodities These seemed reasonable regulations and perhaps they would have been useful but for the entanglng tape Any way there was never a after the govern nent attacked the war problems confronting the 1ailways, when transportation moved as smoothly as I had done before. Everywhere rates passenger and freight were increased the service became disgrace and debts piling They have not ceased piing has the rate at which they are piling been re- iuced.
 There is nothing in the situation to that pronss@s relief while the government is6h charge but there'1s growing conviction that the government

A SURE WAY ID GUT
 YOUR SHOE EXPENSE

Tt has been quite an expense to keep my boy in shoes because he is very hard on them. But since wearing shoes with Neolin Soles his shoe bill has been reduced 66359o," says J. Allison Allen of Amity, Arkansas.
 On the importance of Neolin SoleS as a money saving factor there are thousands of parents who agree with MT. Allen. Because Neolin Soles give extra wear where most shoes war out quickest, they cut your shoe bills down.
 Ask for Neolin-soled shoes when next new shoes are needed, either for yourself or for your children. You can get them at any good shoe store. And take your worn shoes to the repair shop and have them re-bottomed with Neolin Soles.
 Renenber-these soles are created by Science to be waterproof and com fortable, aswell as long wearing. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber O., Akron. Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

seen in the laying of the world S

swept, accomplished by the di-
vision of the American fleet
under Rear Admiral Strauss.
A little more than year
ago the Americans laid a mine
barrier that extended from
Bergen, Norway, to the Ork-
ney Islands, north of Scotland,
effectually closing the North
Sea to navigation except
through the narrow lane along
the coast of Norway and the
outlet between the Orkneys
and Scotland.

thousand of these mines, every
one made in America, formed
this barrier to German sea op-
erations, and but one mishap
occurred during their laying,
the sinking of one ship laden
with mines from being torpe-
doed.
Not even yet does the world
realize the immensity of the
task assigned to American in
genuity and industrial enter
