ore banks and furnaces, has added a
new page to it's history in the unveil-

renamed. 1t was an event of consid-
cradle interest in that it was held I'M

ing representatives of the state camp

America Lost 122,5oo.
The number of American lives lost

100000, or nearly enough to pay the
entire cost of running the United

the outbreak of the European war.

e In addition to this huge expenditure
nearly $4,000, 100000, have been loan

J. The army expenditures have been
over $14,O00,00O, 900, or nearly two,
thirds of our total war costs.
During the first three months our
war expenditures were at the rate OF
$2,O0O,0OO per day. During the next
year they averaged more than $22,

Army Expenses Heavy.
although tne dfuly expenditures are
less than two-thirds of our total wal

The pay of the army during the
war cost more than the combined sal
aries of all the public school principals
and teachers in the United States fol
the five years from 1912 to 1916.
The total wal costs of all nations
were about S1S6,000,0 100000, of which
the allies and the United States spent
two-thirds and the enemy one-third.
The three nations spending the
greatest amounts were Germany
Great Britain, and France, in that or

The United States spent about one
eighth of the entire cost of the war

TWO OUT OF THREE
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
= FOUGHT IN BATTLES

Two out of every three American
soldiers who reached France took part
in battle. The number who reached
France was 2,0S4,000, and of these l.
$4,000 saw active service at the front.
OF the AZ divisions that reached
France 20 took part in active combat
service. Seven of them were regular
army divisions, IL were organized
from the national guard, and IL were
made up of national army troops.
American divisions were in battle
for 200 days and engaged in 10 major
operations. 81
From the middle of August until
the end of the war the American di-
visions held during the greater part
Of the time a front longer than that
held by the British.
In October the American divisions
held 101 miles of line, or % percent
of the entire western front.
On the 1st of April the Germans
had superiority of $4,000 in rifle
strength. Due to American arrivals
the allied strength exceeded that of
the Germans in June and was more
than 100000 above it in November.
Intense Artillery Fire.
In the Daii.e of st. Mihiel $4,000
Americans were engaged, as compared
with about 100000 on the northern
side in the battle of Gettysburg. The
artillery fired more than 100000
shells in four hours, which is the
most intense concentration of artil-
lery fire recorded in history.

MINISTERS COST
LESS Than AUTOS
World Survey Figures Reveal
How Badly United States is
Paying Its Pastors.
MANY LIVING ON $500 A YEAR

What are the chances Of q young
man who intends to be a lawyer Of
making $4,000 a year? What are the
doctors chances? What of the minis.
ter or the manufacturer?
The lawyer has exactly one chance
In five. The doctors chances are one
IN seven, It Is ten to one against the
manufacturer The modern minister,
however who formerly ranked with
the doctor and lawyer as a member Of
the learned professions" has fallen
hopelessly behind. He Is a 100 TO
shot.
These figures are part Of a mass OF
astonishing facts brought to light by
the world survey being made by the
Interchurch World Movement and
whose sources of information are such
that many economists and statistic
ians are availing themselves Of the re-
suits. This survey puts Americas
minister at the bottom OF the ladder
of the nations income receivers-and
with responsibilities which equal
those OF any captain Of industry.
A worker In a silk mill, laborer
IN rubber plant, a paper maker, a
worker in a shoe factory-all are get
ting higher average wages, the survey
shows, than does Americas minister,
city or country. Nor does the city
man receive the luxurious salary that
many persons. including many coun-
try parsons, believe he does. Not four
ministers in a thousand, according to
the survey, receive $1,000 a year In
no instance, whatever the denomina-
ton, does a majority receive $1,000.
Cotton Pickcrs Better off.
: Are you a Congregationalist? In
27S3 churches the yearly pay to your
ministers has been less than 1000.
Are you a Presbyterian? You are then
on the less than $1,000 list with GAL
ministers. In the event that you are
a Methodist the charge Is that 4,7l9
pastors are trying to exist on the $40

lians do little better, yet half OF

One of the aims Of the present CO
operation of the worlds Protestant
denominations is to end this disgrace
Of the underpaid minister. With uni
versities, business houses and NUM-
cipalities daily taking action to pro-
vide the comfort of their workers, the
church is to keep pace with the times,
and to arrange not only for adequate
pay for its workers, but to provide
pensions for those no longer able to
work
1t Is to move the public to prevent
unfavorable comparison Of pastors and
puddlers. Until then, as for pud-
der swapping jobs with a pastor
drawing an ordinary" salary-never!
The lowest salary paid to pastors is
lower than any wages paid In the en-.
tire steel industry.

This Is the moment of moments for
US to find our unity, our spiritual
solidarity, without sacrificing our
diversity and that which is most dis
tinctive to each of our communions
and which, by the way, is the choicest
possession we have.
The reason why we Of each denomi-
nation most value that which is dis
tinctive to us is not simply because 1t
Is ours, but because we honestly be-
lieve 1t is the truth. II is our choicest
possession. Without sacrificing our
distinctiveness we want to realize our
unity and solidarity as we gather
round the figure Of our Lord with
open minds, responsive hearts and, l
would say, hair-trigger whisky that
l mean wills that are eager to leap
into action when we see a clear path.

AMONG THE SICK

While a great number of our peo-
pie are ill with influenza we are
pleased to know that there are but
few that are serious cases. The flu
has not scattered yet very badly
among the rural districts, and no
deaths have been reported from it.
