More than half of this huge sum. or I 14.121.000.000, has been paid as loans to I the allies, and the balance, about $3,000,- 000,000, represents America's outlay for I its own war purposes, exclusive of more I than $600,000,000 for ordinary govern-1 mental expenses. The war’s toll tn money is increasing at the rate of more than $100,000,000 a' month, and indications now are that the ■ two remaining months ot the nation’s f.rst year as a belligerent will run its wai bill to nearly $10,000,000,000, of which $5.000000,000 will be for allied loans and about the same amount for the army, navy, .hipping board and other war agencies. These figures, computed today from the latest available treasury figures, show that although the country’s ex penditures are running into totals never before dreamed of. they are below of ficial estimates made early in the war. Since war was declared April 6, and the fiscal year for which estimates were made did not begin until July 1, it Is diftkult to compare precisely the actual war cost with the fiscal year estimates. | Most of the war expenses have been in,- | curred since July 1, however, and the total outlay since then has been $6,500,- ' 000,000 in a little more than seven months, as compared with an estimate i of $19,431,000,000 for the entire year. Two factors are held mainly responsl-. ble for this difference. Officials of the I war. navy and other departments figured | liberally on their expenditures original- • iy. to allow a margin of financial safety, I In addition, production of ships and war j supplies has failed to develop as had been planned. Officials point out- also that as big contracts for ships and army materials fall due in the next few months, the expenses may run up faster than is anticipated even now. Doans Pay Large Part Government borrowing on the two; Liberty loans have paid for four-fifths I of the war’s cost, and taxation and a few I minor ordinary government receipts for' about one-fifth. The loan campaigns I produced $5,792,000,000 and $1,250,000,- 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 begin soon to roll in from the first war tax act. How America gradually got into her stride in the war is graphically shown by the monthly outpourings of fun 1s since the day congress authorized a lec laration of war—ten months ago tomor row. Before last April, the monthly operating expenses were about 375.000.- 0' 0. and the total annual expenses, in cluding about $300,000,000 postal ex- I penditures, which were paid back into the treasury eventually, reached only a little more than $1,000,000,000. Then <ame the war. In the first month, i May, 1917, expenses jumped to $114,000,- 000; in June to $134,000,000; in July to $208,000,000; In August to $227,000,000; in September to $349,000,000. By Octo ber, the monthly outlay had reached $462,000,000; November, $512,000,000; December, $611,000,000; and last month they were $715,000,000. In the first five days of this month, the government has spent $150,000,000. These big sums did not include the allied loans. They have averaged $450,- 000,000 a month from the time the United States entered the common fight against Germany. Army Expenditures The army, navy and shipping board alone have dipped into the financial war chest for more than 95 per cent of the nation's fighting funds. Two-thirds of the $3,000,000,000 ex pense for the war purposes in the last ten months has been for tne army, and the entire miltiary establishment. Up to last December 1. the latest date on which precise figures for government department expenditures were available tfce expenses of the army—munitions, supplies, training camps, soldiers’ pay, ordnance, and the cost of running the vast machinery—was Since then it is estimated’ that nearly $600,000,000 has been expended for the military forces, making a total of more than $2,000,000,000. The war depart ment's estimated expenditures for the year ending next June 30, figured last June, are $9,790,000,000, but officials • now feel certain that actual expendi- I tures will not reach this by a billion t or perhaps more. Naval Expenses The naval establishment has cost $700,000,000 since the war began, ac cording to unofficial computations on the basis of treasury figures. L'p to December 1 the actual outlay was $513,000,000, and since then it is esti mated about $192,000,000 has been ex pended for the naval fighting forces, new construction, and other elements. The shipping board has fallen farther est below its estimtes, with payments since last April for ships and shipyard construction, a little more than $200,- 000,000. Up to December 1 the gov ernment’s shipping program had cost I $123,000,000, but expenditures in the ! last two months increased by probably I twice the former rate, and as ships are I completed faster in the near future, the shipping board’s funds are expected to | be depleted more rapidly.

Soldiers’ Strike Caused Italian Army’s Debacle Peasants in Trenches Deceived by Plotters Who Announced Peacej According to Herbert Corey ANTICI.H II BY HERBERT COREY PARIS, Dee. 13.—(8y Mail.)—The collapse of the Italian army on Octo ber 23, 1917, was not the result of a military defeat. It was a strike. The men of a victorious artny “downed tools.” That it could not have been success-' ful without a most comprehensive and well-organized scheme of treachery is evident. But this treachery does not smirch the honor of the greater part of the very men who threw down their guns and deserted their posts. The treachery was “higher up.” Sto ries are told of bitter reproaches ad dressed by private soldiers to their officers. “You taught us to be cow ards,” they cried. Officers were shot by their men. In many cases—perhaps in a majority of cases—this was the paying out of a private grudge, for some of the Italian officers of today have not distinguished themselves by considerate treatment of the men. But in many other instances it was a tardy realization that through certain officers Italy had been betrayed. “I did not kill him| 1 executed him,” is the statement attributed to a peasant soldier who was drum-headed for the murder of an officer. “He told us to run when we should have fought.’’ Before the story of the strike is told —rather, as a preliminary to that story —emphasis must be laid on the fact that, as the minister of war said in his unfortunate statemnt, “the Italian army is sound at heart.” But the meaning is not the meaning that he gave it. An Army of Peapants The Italian army is a peasant army, so far as its private soldiers are con cerned. There is no braver, more pa tient, more enduring soldiery in the world, in my opinion. The dark story of the October debacle is brightened by instances of heroism no army could have bettered. After such a defeat as no other army in the war has experi enced. always saving the Russians, these gallant men have held impossible lines by sheer heroism. They are emotional, like all Latins They are perhaps fickle, as their crit ics say. There are absolutely . authen ticated tales of the days immediately following the debacle when the Italian government covered the blank walls with posters calling upon the thousanus upon thousands of deserters to return |to duty. They did, without officers, marching gayly through the streets, im- I provised flags flying, wearing the mien of conquAors: “Yesterday we were deserters,” they sang, in the cheery Italian way. "To day we go to take our vengeance.” But they must be well led, and they have not been well led of late. This and other phases of the military con ditions in Italy during the latter half of the year will be gone into in time, but for the moment the actual mechan ism of the collapse merits first atten tion. I have said that it was a strike and not a defeat. That statement chal lenges inquiry. The bulk of the Italian army are peasants, as I have said. Mingled through it is a percentage of men who have worked on contracts in North and South America or at home, and of workmen Socialists who are fa miliar with the mechanism of Indus try. For reasons which will be made clear later, the war had become in tensely distasteful to the army. To these men, ignortant beyond our Ameri can understanding, the natural way tc escape an unpleasant contract or to better conditions was to go on strike. Negotiations were opened with Austrian regiments which fronted the disaffected elements. When the Strike Began “We will quit and go home if you will,” is the naive manner in which j the proposition was voiced. The probability is that the first sug gestion came from, the Austrian side ! for there is abundant evidence not only that the Austrians were awar< i through their secret agents of the . conditions existing in the Italian ! army, but that the plot was actually j devised in and behind the Italian lines ‘lt is rather obvious that the Italian soldiery would respond more quickly j to such a proposition coming from an ' enemy than if it had been framed by | a comrade. At all events the response | was forthcoming. For weeks, perhaps for months, the | men of the second army and of /?er j tain elements of other arm,les openly ' discussed this plan to thro\y down | their rifles ’and go home, thus bring I ing the war to an end. It is incredi- I ble that general headquarters should not have known of the existence ot : this “strike” propaganda. That Gen eral Cadorna and other leaders were aware of the disaffection of their troops lis certain. It must be they did not realize the danger. During this period 'of incubation the pro-peace traitors behind the line used every means ot propaganda possible. '•‘Peace has already come. Do not ' throw away your life,” was the cry ,in thousands upon thousands of let ters written by peasant wives to I peasant soldiers. Some one had told I the women that peace had. been made I They were obviotfsly sincere. The ' peasant soldier was as ignorant of world conditions and of war condl t tions as his wife. His governmen* ' has carefully and efficiently seen tc i that. The effect of such letters i? I obvious. Then there is what is called in Italy the “Vatican propaganda.” This must be gone into in greater detail later nn For the moment it is sufficient to say that while the unbiassed observers ir • Italy agree that the pope himself Is 1 truly neutral and has not consciously sought a peace which should benefit the central empires, some members of his entourage are known to be pro-German Perhaps the same proportion of Italian j priests are pro-German that one could find in the ranks of Italian grocers. There are other honest, God-fearing. ( selfless men who <ild not look beyond GERMAN HIMES ARE DfHIIEN OFF OF FWMMNS Lively Aerial and Gunfire Re ported Along West Front.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Tuesday, Feb. 5. —(By the As sociated Press.)—American artillery kept up a continuous fire on the enemy batteries throughout Tuesday and the Germans responded with the result that there was lively shelling along the en tire sector. At the same t’.me the American anti aircraft guns were busy repelling at tempts of enemy airmen to cross over the American lines. Two German air planes finally abandoned the attempt, after having been shelled heavily. A member of the mil'tarv police today found three little French children, a girl and two boys, wardering along a road immediately behind the front which is shelled very frequently by the enemy and is considered very dangerous. lie turned the children over to an ambu lance driver who returned them to their homes in a near by village Americans, Trapped by Own Barrage, Escape WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, Feb. s.—(Delayed.)—Facing death from their own artillery, a hand ful of Sammies, trapped by an American barrage near tne Buche trench Monday night, made their way through the rain of shells back to the safety of the American lines. It is sometimes necessary to risk sac rificing a few to save many. On Monday night the handful of Sammies, forming a patrol, was investigating the damage done to the German trench wires by Sunday night’s bombardment. An Ameri can rocket signal from an adjacent sec tor suddenly called for a barrage. The rain of death started immediately. The little patrol was up against it —the men facing death from their own shells They resolved to make a dash for safety. Spreading out in open formation, they gradually made their way back to their own trenches through their own bar rage, taking refuge from the explosions in shell holes and depressions in No Man’s Land. Dodging, ducking and making short rushes across the shell-swept terrain, the Americans finally reached their lines and leaped over their parapets. The ex pected C jrman attack, in anticipation of which the barrage was signalled for, failed to develop. This was probably due to the promptness and precision of the American barrage. All day today the .American artillery was fairly active. Machine guns chat tered periodically along the whole Amer ican sector. The enemy threw over his regular quota of pineapple bombs and rifle grenades. German shells were scat tered over the Americans’ supply and transport organizations in the rear. Photographs taken by aviators show that Saturday evening’s American bar rage greatly damaged the enemy front lines. The damage has already been partly repaired. Nevertheless the shelled German areas are not yet entirely habit able. The army paymasters visited the American artillery units today. With shouts of welcome, the Sammies scram bled from their bombproofs and lined up to receive their money. Few drew more than $lO, owing to the allotments of their salaries which they have set aside sos Liberty bond installments. their parish walls. They were en couraged by propagandists to preach “the holy father’s peace.” That is an appeal for peace which was built by propagandists upon the structure of the Pope’s latest peace let ter. Meanings were read into it that its reverend author certainly never intended. A “prayer chain” for peace covered all Italy. No doubt nine-tenths of those who prayed for “The Pope’s Peace” were sincere men and women who only hoped to put an end to bloodshed and to call back the wanderers to their homes. But the effect upon the men in the trenches was disastrous. An element of enemy propaganda which plainly bears marks of enemy handiwork was in the distribution of forged news papers to the men in the trenches the day before the day set for the “strike.” The Corriere della Sera and the Giornale do’ltalia are two of the most widely read papers in Italy. One morning huge bundles of newspapers came to most of the second army’s trenches. Today it is said they were dropped by Austrian airplanes. A far more probable story is that they came from behind the line;?. “British cavalry raiding Naples and shooting down women and children in the streets." "French soldiers have sacked Turin and have set Are to Genoa." These were two of the stories printed tn these forged papers. The imitation in paper and print was so excellent aa to completely deceive the unskilled readers who picked out these horrifying stories by the light of a flick ering campfire. Invariably the regiment from Sicily herd that Sicilian homes were being in vaded, and the regiment from Turin re ceived the papers which told of the mur ders in Turin. If there had been a doubt before of the success of the "strike” propaganda these forged papers removed it. The men were determined to go home and see for themselves. But there was no doubt before. The journalistic forgeries only removed the last probability of resistance to the enemy forces on the morning of October 23. It may be that some’of the Aus trian negotiators were sincere in their “go home and end the war” plan. There are Italians who believe they were. But they were given no opportunity to put it in effect The night before the day on which the collapse was to have taken place the negotiating Austrians were quietly removed from their trenches. Their places were filled with Germans, to whom general orders had been issued in structing them as to the positions to be assaulted: ‘Tress on as rapidly as possible,” these orders red. “You will meet with no resistance.” O nthe morning of October 23 the duped Italians threw down their arms and green-gray columns rushed for ward along the key-roads of the Italian positions. The whole Italian army was outflanked. Withdrawal became an im perative necessity. Before noon the re treat had become a frantic rout. Government Road Control Caused Shippers’ Action In Asking for Delayed Decision Association Issues Statement Clearly Defining Position and Contentions of Peti tioners The Georgia Shippers’ association, representing the shipping interests of Georgia in t),e Georgia rate case now pending before the railroad commission, has aksed the commission to suspend its decision because of the fact that th-j federal government has taken over the | railroads. The association Wednesday; gave out the following summary of the contention of the shippers on this point, and of their exceptions to the commis sion's decision as tentatively announced; "The shippers contend that govern ment’s control of railroad operation has fundamentally changed the flow of traf- j tic, and that normal conditions will not I be restored for the duration of the war. They contend that the government has assumed full financial responsibilty for the railroads by guaranteeing to stock holders a fair return upon their invest ment. “They contend that the government has further assumed responsibility for the extensions and increases in equipment needed by the railroads to handle the in creased volume of traffic. Hence they contend that it is not incumbent upon the Georgia commission, or any other state commission, to undertake a gen eral rate revision at this time. They re quest the commission to hold the entire case in abeyance. “Should the commission, however, dis agree with their view of the general rairoad situation and proceed with the case, the shippers request, an extension of time to complete their analysis of the commission’s tentative decision. They claim that with their limited facilites they have not been able to completely analyze the decision in the time which has elapsed since the commission sub mitted it to the shippers and the car riers for analysis. “Besides their request for the com mission to withhold action because of government control, the shippers take certain specific exceptions to the com mission’s tentative decision, and a bill embodying these exceptions has been filed before the commission and is now being argued by their counsel. Beclaseification Opposed ‘‘First, they except to the reclassifi cation by the commission of class A railroads, which includes the Georgia railroad, Atlanta & West Point and Western & Atlantic. At present there are four classes of railroads in Geor gia, being A, B, C and D. They charge a different set of rates according to their class. Clas A railroads, having the largest earnings, charge the lowest rates. In their decision, the commis sion proposes to put class A and class B roads in class C, which has the ef fect of substantialy increasing their rates. “The shippers except to this because they claim the class A roads did not ask to be reclassified, and submitted no evidence showing they were entitled thereto. They claim the effect will be to increase the rates of these roads very materially. They show that the Atlanta and West Point asked for an average increase of 6 per cent in class rates from 1 to 6 inclusive, while the commission gives them an average in crease of 23 per cent by the reclassifica tion. They show that the rates on flour are increase 29 per bent, and rates on grain 9 per cent. They show that the Western and Atlantic asked for an average increase of 6 per cent, and the commission gave it 24 per cent, flour being increased 34 per cent and grain 22 per cent. They show that the Geor gia railroad asked for a readjustmefit which made the same average rates which it now charges, while the com mission gave it an increase of 18 per cent, flour being increased 34 per cent and grain 19 per cent. They show that the rates prescribed by the commission are higher from Rome and Dalton to Augusta than the existing rates from Nashville to Augusta. “As to class C railroads, which in clude the Southern, Seaboard, Central of Georgia, Atlanta, Birmingham & At lantic, etc., the shippers show that on W ANTED- Both Vegetable and Animal Eats.

They show that the commission granted some advances on short hauls and reduced all long haul rates lower than the roads proposed, so that the average prescribed by the commission is 12 per cent less than ex isting rates, or 4 per cent less than the roads proposed. On all hauls of gram, however, class C roads are given an 18 per cent increase in grain rates. Would Increase Revenue "Next, the shippers take exception to the classification prescribed by the commission. They show that the rail roads asked for the adoption of the southern classification with certain Georgia exceptions which they (the railroads) designated. They show that the commission in its decision declared that while uniform classification is de sirable, it should not be secured at too heavy an expense to the shipping public, and the commission declared the adop tion of the classification proposed by the railroads would yield a greater reve nue than the commission believed war ranted. The commission then declared its purpose to take from the southern classification a number of items mov ing freely in Georgia and put them in the Georgia exceptions at ratings fixed by the commission, so as to avoid the un warranted increase in revenue. "The shippers agree with the wisdom of this principle, but they claim that it was departed from in the making of the classification and ratings. To support this claim, they show that the Georgia exceptions prescribed by the commission consist of 2,263 ratings; that 1,548 of these, or 60 per cent, are copied ver batim from southern classification; that 478 of these, or 21 per cent, are the ex ceptions proposed by the railroads; and only 237, or 10 per cent, are classifica tions different from those which the railroads proposed. “The result, claim the shippers, is to create the very evil of unwarranted in crease in revenue which the commission announced its purpose to avoid. In oth er words, 90 per cent of the classifica tion prescribel by the commission is what the railroads proposed; while only 10 per cent is what the commission pre scribed. “Finally, the shippers take exception to rates to and from the ports pre scribed by the commission. They show that increases in class traffic are only slight, while on commodity traffic th* commission not only prescribes rates which are higher than the railroads’ asked, but are higher from Atlanta and Georgia points north of Atlanta than rates from Chattanooga and Nashville to Georgia ports. As to rates from Georgia ports to Georgia cities, the shippers show that the commission re stores a scale of rates that was volun tarily reduced by the railroads thirteen years ago. and goes further and fixes a new scale much higher than the scale which the railroads reduced.” EAT WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT People who oonaistentlv deny their ap petite soene particular dish appealing especially to their palate, because indul gence has always meant subsequent suf fering, will think this a strong state ment. It is a fact, however, that most people can. without fear of distressing consequences, indulge the appetite with in reason if the bowels are active and regular.
