HELP THE BLIND.

Soldiers themselves are almost unan-
imous in voting the blinded men the
greatest tragedy of war.
Poor France has 5000 men whose
eyes were blasted out of their heads
while meeting mankind's enemy in the
Great War.
The United States has not compiled
figures on the number of her blinded
sons. While the number is far lower
than In France, this country is doing
everything that money and kindness
can do to make the blind happy.
They are being taught trades that
will be se~lf'supporting and they will
not be turned loose until they can stand
on their feet. Educating the blind
Is u tedious and IA costly process. An
other reason for the Victory Liberty
Loan. Think Of the blind boys wher

u, S. WAS FAR BEHIND
IN WAR EXPENDITURES
Enlightening Information From Fig
ures Computed by VA
Department.

Those who believe that the United
States has contributed far more to the
prosecution of the war than any OF
the other allies, may CLEAN some en-
tightening information from figures re-
Gently compiled by the Treasury De-
partment.
These figures show that in COMPARE
son with Great Britain, for example,
this country was far behind in total
expended.
The latest available statistics show
that Great Britain's wal bill totalled
$37,100,0 900, 900, in comparison with
$1S,481, 100000 for the United States.
Criticism has been heard that this
country loaned Great Britain, France
and others Of the allies all the money
they spent. The Treasury figures also
disprove this statement. Our total
loans to the Allies were $685. 900 900
and Great Britain lent So, 0 200, 900.
Even France, generally considered
a poor var spender, devoted more to
winning the war than did America
with a total Of s27, 900, 900, 900. Russia
was right behind us with $4,000 ,000,-
900.
Germany was second only to Great
Britain in paying for the foul years
of wal for the Berlin government
poured out $780, 500, 900, 900 in a vain at.
tempt to get her place in the sun. The
other Teutonic allies added $23, 000,.
000,0 giving the Central Empires a
total war bill of $50, 500, 900, 900.

Australian Peace Delegates 0p-

Doctrine Amendment.
INSTANCES ARE CITED
Opposition Which Has Developed on
This Account May Result in
American Proposal Meet
ing With Defeat.

Paris, March 31.-The proposed
amendment to the league of nations
covenant regarding the Monroe doc
trine, the Australian peace delegates
have pointed out, providing for recog-'
milton of the binding force of the poll,
cies heretofore applied. would validate
and confirm Japanese claims to pre-
ponderance in China and the Orient.
Fear is expressed that the opposi-
ton which has developed on this &C.
count may jeopardize the amendment.
Experts are trying to find a formula
that will overcome this objection, and
meanwhile the amendment has been
withheld from insertion in the cove
nant.
Premiers Discuss Poland.
The conditions of a preliminary
peace with Germany are still being
considered by President Wilson and
the premiers OF Great Britain, France
and Italy. The four government heads
deliberated on the question of the
Polish frontier, according to the news
papers, which believe that there will
be some difficulty in reaching an agree
meut on the principle of the annexa-
ton to Poland of territory containing
two to three million Germans.
\ The papers believe that the council
will reach a decision sooner on the
|squestion of reparations than on the
Polish question.

1t was demanded by the French del
egate that the Rhine serve France as
a neutral frontier, Germany having the
left bank of the stream without forti
fed works, troops or railways.
Increased precautions have been
taken to safeguard President Wilson
and the premiers with whom he is in
daily conference. So carefully have
the plans been made that not even the
chief of the American secret service
squad is informed as to when the meet
ings will take place.

President Wilson by the league Of

liberty for the world. Then the

Napoleon, suppressed by conQuering
France and executing their Marshal
Ncy and repressing all liberty with
the Bourbon throne re-established.
They next demanded the right to
conquer the United States and de-
liver its people as slaves to Great
Britain. They notified England.
England then notified America OF
