guarantee of railroad earnings re-
suited in an increase in the public
debt of $101,755, 900 during Aug
ust, according to treasury figures is
sued today showing the nations
gross debt to be $24,324, $4,000.
Treasury records charge the in
crease in the public debt to an issue
of certificates of Indebtedness of
fered August 16, sold to cover pay
ment to the railroads under guaran-
tee provisions of the transportation
act.
Advances to the carriers against
probable deficits during the month
were said by treasury officials to
have reached nearly $160,000,000,
and on this basis they figured there
would have been a slight reduction
in the public debt had not the earn
ings guarantee been in effect.
The payments to the roads in Aug
ust does not correctly indicate the
amount to which they will be enti-
tied when final accounting for the
six months period over which the
guarantee extended is made, it was
stated. AS a result the drain in the
treasury probably will continue for
several months.

UNCLE SAM HAS WAR
ELEPHANT FOR SALE
LARGEST POWDER MILL IN THE
WORLD OFFERED AT A BAR
GAIN. COST 80 MILLION.

The government has bargain for
the citizen who is in the market for
a smokeless powder plant. 1t is the
largest and most completely equipp-

Record For Speed.
1t was on Feb. 2, 1918, that the
Dupont company was notified that
the contract for building Old Hick-
DRY had been signed. 1t called for
the manufacture of powder to begin
eight months later, or Oct. l, which
proved to be but a few weeks be-
fore the armistice was signed.
The DuPonts worked speedily and
on July 2, just 116 days after
ground was broken, the first pow
der was made, setting a new worlds
record. When the armistice was
signed the plant was nearly com
pleted. The production of powder
up to the cessation of operations,
some time after the armistice, to-
tailed approximately 100000
pounds. The original estimate of the
cost of the plant was $70,000,OOO,
but S1O,O00,000 was expended be-

REDS EXECUTE zoo
OUT OF COURTESY
ODESSA CITIZENS WHO FAILED
TO WATCH THE FUNERAL OF
ITALIANS PROMPTLY SHOT.

CONSTANTINOP&E.-Two hun
bred citizens of Odessa were execut-
ed by order of the bolshevist author
tiles for neglecting to attend the
funeral of the sailors who lost their
lives when the Italian destroyer
Racchia struck a mine in the Black
sea several days ago; declare sur
vivors of the crew now here. s.
The Racchia was conveying three
Italian steamers bringing bolshevist
prisoners from Italy back to Russia.
On entering the barber of Odessa,
which is heavily mined, her COM
mander misunderstood the direction
given him by the Reds and she was
sunk by an explosion of mines.
AS a means of propaganda among
the crews of the Italian ships the
Red authorities arranged a grand
state funeral for the victims. The
entire population of Odessa was or
dered out on the streets to witness
the funeral procession. To make
sure that nobody remained at home
guards went into the houses and
drove the people out with their bay
onets.
About 200 citizens, men and wo-
men. who were discovered hiding in
houses, were rounded up and march
ed into one of the principal squares,
where they were publicly shot few
minutes before the passing of the
procession.
In the evening pictures of this
tragic execution were shown at all
the cinematograph theaters.
The Italian sailors, many OF
whom were ardent Red sympathiz-
ers. have returned from Odessa hor-
rified and dismayed by the scenes
thew witnessed. On the voyage out
pictures of Lenine and Trotzky and
Red flags adorned the Italian ships,
but these were thrown overheard by
the disguised men on their return
from the Red paradise.

LONDON.-The league of nations
announces that nearly $5,O00,000
has been raised to repatriate prison
ers of war still in Russia and Central
EuropeI
Of this sum the American Red
Cross contributed $1,000,000. AL

however, gave literally toward bet

tunate war outcasts. Approximately
half a million prisoners remain in
Germany, Russia, Siberia and Tur-
kestan, though the war has been at
an end for nearly two years.
In order to carry on repatriation

Baltic; and second, from Hamburg
to Vladivostok. In order to keep the

German government authorities.
Fifteen Ships Ply Baltic Route.
On the first route, in the Baltic,
which is the most important one. fiji
teen vessels have been chartered to
ply back and forth between Stettin,
Germany and Narva and Riga, in
Ethonia, and Bjorke, in Finland.
Since the sailing of the first YES
sci in May 10000 prisoners have
been repatriated each way, and the
present weekly rate is 5000, with a
possibility of reaching 10000 before
winter.
The second route runs from Ham
burg, through the Mediterranean
and Red sea, to Vladivostok. Two
vessels have been chartered for this
work and cargoes have been secured
despite the difficulty of finding ex-
port material from Germany to the
Far East. The first sailing will be
made within the next ten days and
the second shortly after. By this
route nearly 10000 East Siberian
Russians in Germany, and about the
same number of Austrians, Hunga-
rians, Rumanians and Poles in ST.
IBERIA will be returned to their
homes. The deficit between the act

ceipts is met out of funds from the
American Red Cross.
Third Route Planned.
Plans are being made to open
third route from southern Russia,
through the Black sea, to Trieste;
and it is hoped Italy will contribute
the shipping facilities necessary.

ENGLAND PREPARES

GREAT BRITAIN NOW ABLE TO
LAUNCH NEW ERA OF FRIGHT
FULNESS. GERM WARFARE.

The next great war will be led by
scientists and fought by mechanics.
in the opinion of British army and
navy experts, who are already con-
sidering new terrors to supplant the
German poison gas, and the "flam-
merwerfer" of the last war. The
British military men have not only
adopted some of the German hor-
rors but are striving to improve on
them. admitting no hampering re-
strictions in the name of "humani-
ty."
Future wars, it is declared, will be
more horrible, more cruel and more
extended. Present inventions will be
perfected to produce armored ar
craft and sea-going tanks. The use of
the gas and flame throwers will be
added invisiblt ray and germ war
fare.
Civilians Not Exempt.
Civilians as we'll as soldiers will
be the object of attacks. Slaughter
is to be organized on a wholesale
scale to blot out men by villages,
cities. or even by whole country
sides. Instead of hundreds or posi-
bly, thousands of men killed in bat

it possible to kill or MAIN ten and
hundreds of thousands.
Lieut. w. S. King, Hall, r. N, is
of the opinion that gas may even

as gunpowder did when first used.
The gas, he says, might be discharg-
ed on an enemy coast line from

low whole cities, soldiers and wo-
men and children alike.
Ray and Germ Warfare.
English scientists are seeking a
new heat ray, which would shrivel

human strife, in the opinion Of Maj.
Gen. Swinton, is germ warfare. He
is of the opinion that it would be
permissible to use disease germs
