MEDICINE BOW
TAKES THE CAKE

Total net receipts, from all sources

This is according to figures in a
statement covering the 26 National
Forests comprising the Rocky Noun
tain District, just received at the
Office of Supervisor Hilton in Lar
annie, from the District Forester in
Denver.
1t is expected that the receipts
for the full fiscal year which ends
June 80 next will be in excess of
last year when the sum Of $55,475
was taken in and $13,O1O.OO, rep
resenting 25 per cent Of the gross

equipment, failing which, her coun-
try could be overrun In three months
and the Americans would have to
land at Gibraltar.
In the same way France must have
a navy sufficient not only to protect
her coasts along three seas, but also
sufficient to insure the safety Of her
troop transports from North Africa,
where she has large reserves OF men,
both French and colonial.
The fact that France Is determin-
ed to get and keep that indispensable
minimum of military and naval
equipment is dubbed "militarism."
Now here r a few facts:
Before the World War the term
of service in the French Army was
three years. 1t Is now eighteen
MONTHS reduction to so per cent
of what 1t was.
Yearly expenses for army and
navy, all told, including the colonies,
amount to $3.50. 900. The Brit
ish Empire, not including the Do
minions, spends $820.00O,00O, and
the United States 1--WE have not the
exact figures) spend about as much
as the British. France has suffered
too much from war to want more
Of It.
Frenchmen are hard at work re-
pairing destruction wrought dur
ing the hostilities. They try to find
at home the money to do 1t with.
They W five and one-quarter bill
lion dollars to the United States and
England; they are owed one and
three-quarter billion dollars by other
Allies and fourteen and one-quarter
billion dollars by Germany. Their
balance sheet, therefore. ought to be
a good one. But II their assets are
taken away from them while their
liabilities remain. and If in addition
they have to raise money for re-
construction at home, how can the
thing be done?
