For You,
Staunch Courage
For New Year

It struck us that greeting card
purveyors had difficult task this
Christmas in selecting sentiments to
fit world in the sorry state OF
affairs in which we find ourselves.
The message of Peace on Earth to
Men of Good WIFI has never been
more universally acceptable and
prayed for, and the earnestness OF
the religious implications of the day
was noticeable in greetings that
warmed the heart this Christmas
tide.
For the New Year, may we share
a message that reached our door
step? For you Staunch Courage;
For the world =. Undimmed Hope;
For all of us Faith in the flu
ture. Happy New Year!

Ordnance Invasion Corps
to Pass the Ammunition

I ply each day for every man in
the field are stunning-but Sc
cret. You can get rough idea,
however, by remembering that
one four-gun anti-alrcraft bat
terry will use up one and a half
tons of ammunition per minute.
Multiply that by hundreds ot
such batteries and hours of
time. And remember that anti
aircraft is only a small drain
on the overall ammunition pic
ture.
Ordinances job is complicated
primarily by the fact that am
n milton must be stored over
wide areas for safety. AT the
same timcrit- muStbe stored So
that there is some ammunition
of every type handy 10 every
one everywhere. That's quite d
trick in itself.
The ammunition problem is,
however, the lesser of Ord
nance's planning headaches. The
supply, maintenance and repair
of arms and vehicles presents
tn real S64, 100000 question. To
plan for the invasion, Ordnance
had to know what types of units
are going TO be used and what
types of equipment, ordinary
and special, they will need.
II has to decide how quickly
equipment is going to wear out
or be destroyed in battle; and
where and how to place repair
shops and depotS to repair or
replace that equipment. In CT
william life, economy is mea-
Sured in money. In the army
economy is measured in time
Shops must be placed so that nc
matter where the Army goes
they will be handy.
READY TO MEET ENEMY
Over and above everything
else Ordnance must know, there
the question of the kind OF
campaign the invasion will in
volve. One look at a map of the
continent will show that UNI
like the North African cam
paign, where natural barriers
were hundreds of miles apart .
the enemy has an almost endless
supply of natural defenses be-
hind which he can choose to
make a stand.

The English have met with German
aversion for the past so years, the Amer
leans for 20. In former times, Germany
honored the English as cousins who were
superior in practical matters but con-
sidered them intellectually inferior.
Goethe, who understood them better.
said: Every Englishman has Shake
speare as an ancestor and the ocean at
his feet" Bismarck also, though he was
not fond of the English greatly respect
ed them and kept to his maxim: Never
against England"
AS the English were not direct neigh
bors Of the Germans and had not been
at war with them for long time, there
seemed no reason for Germany not to
remain friends with England. But when,
under Wilhelm II, the dream OF German
world dominion was reborn, England
appeared as the great obstacle In Ger
many's path to success.
The Americans lost the great popu-
larity they had enjoyed in Germany
only after World War I, when they
loaned money to the Germans. To be
able not to hate his creditor, debtor
must possess more Self-assurance than
the Germans have. After the Germans
had got several billion dollars from Wall
Street, hate of America took hold of
them. Also, they now thought that Will
son had betrayed them; they invented
the saga that Wilson's IA points had
lured them to lay down their arms and
that they had become victims OF q
fraud.
Will Find Hate Waiting.
When the Allied armies enter and oc-
cupy beaten Germany, they will md
more hate for them than for the French.

final answer. But mere are the figures
with which they all are conjuring.
First. both sides agree high taxes will
be duck soup If we keep all our factories
running, keep people employed, keep
high national income.
1919 Debt Cut.
So it's important to consider how
able each of us is to pay the debt, as
compared with 1919 We finally got
that debt down to where it caused no
worry
In 1919 we were making $500 per
capita. It's estimated the first year
after the war we'll be making sl25
billions, or 1925 per capita. SO we're
twice as able to meet the debt. How
ever, it is five times as big
But, since Pearl Harbor we've saved
money at an unprecedented rate.
Washington officials actually get
light in their eyes when they talk
about it.
We now hold s1065 billions in savings
and checking accounts, War Bonds and
currency, according to Securities Ex-
change Office.
The Department of Commerce esti-
mated the rate of savings at 1855 bill
lions annually at the end of 1912.
That's more than half the national in
come for 1889.
Figures Show Relation.
Another set of figures shows the rela-
tionship between what we make in any
year and what we pay to meet Federal
Governments expenses:
Federal Left to
Income. expenses. spend.
Year 1889 '0!lIiSno s1S '6ilIIoas' Is9 1Ss' ssi s
First year
after war 1a5 % 90
Look at the figures. 1t would be
shocking to be told, just cold, that Fed
eral expenses would Jump from S87
billions in 1899 to s26 billions the first
year after the war. CThose s26 billions
include larger standing Army and
Navy, the higher veterans cost, the
service of Sc billions on the debt, as we'll
as administrative expenses. Actually,
estimates run from s22 to $26 billions)
But in this case the country, even
though it pays that higher Federal BILL
has $99 billions left to spend as against
$613 billions in 1899.
There's a second hair to split, and
both sides split it,
How much does the $99 billions buy?
Most Americans are disinterested in
such figures. All Joe wants to know
is can he buy that shirt or can't he.
The problem will be to see that he gets
about the same number as before the
war.
