S. 2411110 JAY Ten months of the war have cost the United "States about $7,100,000,000 at the rate of 730,000,000 a month, nearly $24,000,000 a day.. ; Of this sum. $4,12.1.000.000 has been paid as loans to the allies and the balance, about $3,000,000,000, repre-sents America's outlay for its own war j purposes, exclusive of more than I $600,000,000 ior ordinary government-al expenses. The war's toll in money Is increas-ing at the rate of more than $1100,000,-00- 0 a month and indications now are that the two remaining months of the first year will run its war bill to near-ly $10,000,000,000, of which $5,000,000,-00- 0 will be for Allied loans, about the same amount for the army, navy, ship-ping board and other war agencies. These figures compiled today show that although the country's expendi-tures are running into totals never be-fore dreamed of, they are below the ofricial estimate made early in the war. Most of the war expenses have been incurred since July 1, and the total outlay since then has been in a little more than seven months, as compared with estimates of $18,43il,000.000 for the entire year. Two (factors are helc mainly respon-sible for this difference. Officials of the war, navy and other departments figured liberally on their expenditures originally, to allow a margin of finan-cial safety. In addition, production of ships and war supplies has failed to develop as rapidly as had been plan-ned.. , ,' Liberty Loans. Government borrowings on the two! Liberty loans have paid for four-fift-of the war's costs, and taxation and a few minor ordinary government re-- ! ceipts for about one-fift- h The loan campaigns produced $5,792,000,000 and $1 50,000,000 came direct from the pockets of the people and will not have to be repaid. Financial demands of the war in the next few months will be met in the same way by another bond issue and by taxes which will be-gin soon to roll in from the first war (Before last April the monthly oper-ating expenses were about $75,000,000 and the total annual expenses reached only a little more than $1.000,000,000. ICARSS USED AS'AN INDEX TO SCRIPTURE The following piece appeared In a recent issue of the SpringvlUe Inde--. pendent, who gives the credit for hav- - ing taken it from an old Issue of the Juvenile Instructor. It will be read with Interest by many of our subscrib-ers. A private soldier was caught in the back pew of a church playing solitaire. He was arrested by the usher and tak-en before the mayor to answer to the charge of "desecrating God's holy house by playing cards." , well, soldier, said the mayor, "what have you to say for yourself?" "Much," replied the soldier, "I have been six weeks on the march and had no bible nor book of common prayer, but a pack of cards which answered for both." Then spreading the cards before the mayor explained: ''When I see the ace it remiuds me of the one and true living God; the duce reminds me of the Father and the Son. When I see the tray, I am reminded of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The four spot reminds me of the four evangelists; the five reminds me of the five wise virgins who kept their lamps trimmed and ready for lighting; the six spot, that God made the world in six days, and the seven, that he rested from His great work. The eight spot reminds me of the eight righteous persons who were sav-ed in the Ark; the nine, of the nine lepers who were cleansed by our Sa-vior. When I see the ten, it reminds me of tho ten commandments which God gave to Moses. The king, of Solo-mon in all his glory; the queen, of the Queen of Sheba, who visited Solomon. "Well," said the mayor, "you have given a good description of all the j cards except the knave; what have you to say about that?" "That," said the soldier, with a twinkle in his eye, "reminds me of the constable that brought me here." The soldier continued, "If your honor please, I use my deck as a calendar as well as for a bible. When 1 count the spots I find 365, the number of days in the year; the 52 cards in the pack equal the number of weeks in the year; the four suits, the number of weeks In a month; there are twelve picture cards in the pack, the twelve months in the year, also reminding one of the 'Twelve Apostles of the and on counting the tricks I find thirteen, the number of weeks In a quarter." The culprit was discharged and giv-en a pocket bible. whatToes it cost There's nothing In life that's worth the living, t But the touch of the soul that we get in the giving, As the Master gave his life on the ' .

Tuesday evening under the auspices of the college lec-ture course. This is not a detailed re-- ; port, but instead brief sketches taken in long hand. ; Not very long ago I was asked these three questions: First, ""Who! Started the 'War?' Second, "When Will It End?" and third, '"What Willi Happen After the War?" J am not a j prophet, but I will say that if this war lasts"JMiother year there will be a j revolution in every country in Eu-rope." This great nation has fused on one great idea, this is unanimity. You have entered into this war bo unani-mously. The United States of Ameri-ca is the most unified nation In the world. 5ermany cannot say this, there is the North and the South Germany. There are eighty representatives in her parliament that belong to the so-cial democrats. Also a large Roman Catholic party. 'England lacks unity, the Welshman is still Welsh at heart. The Bcot is still Scotch at heart, and the Irishman is still Irish. National-istg- ? are all blended here. (During the reSlnt campaign if you had placed the two natonal platforms in a drawer and lost the labels off of them you could not have told which was which. The President Is the head of this whole nation, not a part or party. ' When you go into the settlements of New York City and see tho women lined up to get at the ash barrel to dig out enough coal to keep them warm it is a poor place to talk patriot-ism. Fill their stomachs frsL I know of nothing more beautiful than Provo nestling beneath these silent sentinels and yet when we go to our high school commencements we hear the glee club sing of Sunny Italy and they haven't a spot one half so beautiful as our own America. Of the 60,000,000 people in Germany only about 9,000,000 are of pure Teu-tonic blood. They are far from being a unified people. Germany attempted at one time to make iPoland purely Germanic, but that failed because the parents took their children into their cellars and barns and taught them the Polish language in spite of the order of the German government. Germany attempted the same thing with a part ot?!e (French people which came un-der their rule, but it failed also with the French. The question then comes, "What Mke Americans?" Not where you I were born, but rather 'Were You Re-- 1 born?" There is no country where the dialects are so few and where the language is so Milwaukee is one-hal- f German, yet onejjmlf people speak pure English andrVhe other half do not speak a j pure German, but instead an Ameri-(- . canized German. The Swedish peo-- i pie cram a lot of English slang into their dialect. We are not influenced j by immigrant people. (What shall we do with foreign peo-ple? We cannot make these foreign-bor- n peoples Americans by law. This has always failed with every nation that has tried it. and it will fail In Amerca. Germany tried this as mentioned above, with the Poles. p must be earned, it cannot be forced on people by five years of resi-dence. Some people will never be fit subjects for citizenship. What we need in America is not more law, but more love. 'Dr. Steiner told of finding pictures of George Washington in the farther est corners of Siberia and many other European countries, and many foreign-ers when they come here bring pretty wreaths of flowers and spread them on Washington's tomb. Why? Be-cause he represents to them the near-est ideal of free government. Other countries look at America as the land of freedom and Justice, and we must not soil that blessed heritage. book, exchangeable for a five dollar war certificate stamp, payable on Jan. 1, 1923. "We believe that we shall have the of every citizen in this city in our plan to bring as much revenue as possible to the govern-ment," said IB. M. lLatham, of the Salt Lake City Store, today. "The govern-ment must make use of every means that will increase its resources and insure a victorious prosecution of the war. (By their very name, the thrift stamps indicate how earnestly the government wants people to save. In giving the government this money, people should remember it is a loan on which they are repaid with gener-ous interest. The $2,000,000,000 which the government hopes to realizze on the sale of thrift stamps will buy many 1 rifles and much ammunition; and the more rifles we have and the quicker we have them, the sooner this war I will be over." THE GOODRICH RUBBER COM-PANY B1IKS 88,000 THRIFT STAMPS FOBEMPLOYEES In furtherance of its policy to aid the government at every step, the B. F.
