in connection with the r%eparation OF
Russian prisoners Of war.
They will be assigned to various

where rs 900 Russians are awaiting
ships to take them home. About 20
600 already have been sent from Stet-
tin to Narva but there are so few
ships available it may be months be-
fore the last Of them can embark.
Meantime the Russians are suffering
severe privations.
Almost without exception the Ameri'

a step without calculating the wear
on their shoes. Effort made by re

up some kind Of athletics brought the
reply: I'VE would, but it would be

Camp officials permit the prisoners
to seek outside work, which. how.
ever, is most difficult to find. One
Russian who was employed two weeks
by a peasant ruined his only pair
of shoes and then was charged the
full amount Of his wages for his
board.
Most Of the prisoners have heard
nothing from their families or friends
for more than two years, and the
Rhodes scholars will try TO help the
men get in touch with their homes

opening the democratic p~resloeh'''i

Governor Cox did not make inc

that belated Justice now should be

ing many met obstacles returning

arnment should assist wherever pos

Expenditure in war of lives and
treasure was stressed by the demo
cratic candidate in his plea for
peaceful relations between nations.
The cost 10 the United States, he
said, was more than one million dol
iars an hour for over two years.
The total expense Of S22,O 200. O0O, 600
was almost equal TO the total dis
bursements of the United States gov
eminent from 1871 10 1918. 1t was
sufficient to have run the revOlu-
tionary val for more than one thous-
and years at the rate Of eXpendi-
ture which that war involved. The
army expenditures alone, experts claim
are a near approach to the amount
OF gold produced in the United States
from the discovery of Amreica to
the outbreak of the European war
and yet the United States spent only
about h eighth of the entire cost
of the war and less than one fifth
of the expenditures OF the allied
side.

When we consider the developments of
human destruction between 1914 ana

THE American soldier Governor
Cox declared, knows the meaning OF
modern warfare.
There was very little romance"
he continued, lin the long hours ana
The thought that must have run
through the mind of every soldier in
the midst Of it all was how such Il
thing was possible in modern civiliza

Regarding the failure to award pro
motion to soldiers whose gallantry
had earned honors, Governor Cox
said he had given much thought.
There was a great deal of fighting
done in the last month of the war;
he said, THE processes of promotion
were slow in a great organization,
even after it had been won and re-
commended, There were thousands OF
boys cited for bravery and advance
