The money raised from the Vic
tory Liberty loan will be used to
pay for bringing American troops
home from France, the cost of their
rehabilitation, part of the war in
surance claims of the soldiers and
sailors killed or injured in the
| fighting, and will furnish funds for
the care of the wounded and for the
vocational training of the MANNED
and other postwar expenses, says
a representative here of the Lib
erty loan committee.
"One of the biggest items Of ex-
pense will be for the transporta-
ton and rehabilitation of the
troops, the cost of which, from the
time the armistice was signed until
the army is returned to a peace
basis, will amount to approximately
$2,320,273, 000," he adds in a state
ment There were 1000, 900 men
overseas when the fighting ended.
According to the army transporta-
ton experts, it will cost 5000 man
to bring them from the fighting
lines in France and Belgium to
their homes in the United States.
This will make the total transporta-
ton bill $500, 0O0. 900. of which $12S,-
o0o,000 represents the fare of the
soldiers in France. $124 .00o. 900 their
fare across the Atlantic. and $14S,-
900, 900 their transportation from
United States ports to their homes.
1T will take at least ten months,
the army authorities say, to COM
plete the rehabilitation of the
troops from overseas. Their nam
tenance in that period, including
housing. clothing and food, will
amount to about $1,000, 900, 900, of
which $279,428,130 will be for
food.
1.-The rehabilitation, transporta-
ton and maintenance expenses of
the .655, 900 soldiers who did not
get to France, will amount to about
1920, 273 900. bringing the total for
the whole army to the amount al
ready stated, 32,320,2 73.000 which
will make quite hole in the Vic
tory Liberty loan receipts.
There are about 200, 900 sick and
wounded soldiers still being cared
for in the government hospitals.
The per capital cost of caring tor
these patients is figured by the
army medical department at $725.
which brings the total cost of those
now undergoing treatment to $145,
000, 900. There are eighty army hos
pitfalls in the United States. The
cost of their operation ranges from
a few hundred thousand to a million
dollars a year each.
The amount of war risk insur
a1ce the government has outstand-
ing is $S7, 0O0,000.00o. The claims
clready filed amount to $4,000, 900.
If all the soldiers, numbering ap-
proximately 1880, who were kill
ed in action, or died of wounds, &C
cidents and disease. were insured
for the full amount of $4,000 each
permitted under the plan, their
claims would aggregate $725. 000,
900. Payments on these claims will
be made at the rate of $50 a month
to the dependents of each soldier,
which calls for the expenditure Of
$43, 100000 a year for about sixteen
years. However, it is not probable
that many of these claims, or of
the thousands of others that will be
filed by soldiers disabled in the war,
will be acted upon in time to make

MACHINE GUNS
FOR BURGLARS

BROKEN IN SECOND TIME
Last Night Providers Get Into Fifth
Avenue Eating House and
Steal Supplies.

All burglars are invited to break
into the restaurant of F. M. WEIGH
1901 Fifth avenue, from this day
on.
Their reception will be a rain OF
machine gun bullets and they will
never live to give the police a job
of hunting for them. The reason
Mr.. WEIGH is tired of having his
place burglariZed.
Three weeks ago Mr.. WEIGH open
ed up his restaurant in the morn
ing to find that during the night
burglars had entered and had stol-
en- $50 worth of eggs and canned
goods.
This morning he opened up the
restaurant again and discovered
that last night there had been in
truders in the place and they had
taken $40 worth of smoked meats
and canned goods.
Some One Has Key.
Twice in three weeks is enough
for me-" Mr.. WEIGH said this morn
ing. I'm going to install a ma
chine gun with automatic attach
ment SO that when anybody else
comes into this place after l close
up at night, he'll receive a fine re-
ception. I owned the restaurant
some time ago, sold it and recently
purchased it again. 1 am afraid
someone has a key to the door that
l do not know of. I'm going to put
on new locks, however"
Both burglaries were reported to
