food, clothes, medical and dental at
tention, and such other expenses of
soldiers as are usually cared for by
the government.
Special attention is called to the
unusually high percentage of non
commissioned officers, whichs causes
the ‘enlistment for remount station
service to be very attractive. It is
likely these remount Stations will be
maintained during the entire perioud

allowed to do so.

AMERICAN EFF(CIENCY.
German efficiency has been held
up as a degree of excellence unat
tainable by a Democracy. The ac
camplishments of the United States
since April sth last refute the truth
of the claim. In the short space of
time since that day the United States
has accomplished the following:
Declared a state of war as existing
bewteen this country and Germany;
Seized 91 German ships and begun
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously a war
fund of $7,000,000,000;
Appropriated $600,000,000 for
merchant shipping and as much for
air fleets
Agreed to loan our allies $3,000,-
000,000 and advanced them a large
proportion of that sum.
Passed a selective draft law and
in a single day registered nearly ten
million men for military service;
finlisted 600,000 volunteer soldiers
in the Regular Army and in the Na
tional Guard of the States;
Sent a Commission to Russia to
aid Democracy there and a body of
railroad men to Russia and another
to France te advise and assist in rail
road transpertation in those coun
tries;
Besun the comsiruction of -32
camps for eur seldiers.
Sent to England a fheet of destroy
ers and to France a detachment of
troops ; :
Authorized and now eaforcing ena
bargo whereby our ewemies will re
ceive no raore feod er veaterial frewa
us; , e
Passed a food conservation laww;
Organized many veluntary cewi
misions and beards whe are aiding
the Gevernment and the people in
the speeding up of werk censervation
of fead and ether national mweve
pients;
Drafted by lot 687,000 men for
military serviece;
While the Gevernmient was aceew
plishing these things the American
people have leaned the United States
$2,000,000,000 and offered $1,000,-
000,000 more, over four millien eiti
zens subseribing to the lean.
In additien they have given ever
£160,000,000 te the American Red
Cross and $3,000,000 to the Young
Men’s Christian Association.
All these things were accomplish
ed while our soil was not invaded or
even threatened with invasion and
without any disturbance of business
conditions, All was done with the
calm determination and judgment of
an earnest, patriotic people per
forming a service for civilization and
mankind and maintaining the rights,
the dignity, and the honor of the
greatest nation in the world.
The German leaders derided Am
erica’s entry into the war as a bluff.
This is our answer.

its military efficiency. In less than 4
months the American Republic has
made such strides as to indicate that
in less than two years’ time the
boasted superiority of Germian effi
ciency will have been discredited.
There is such a thing as American .
efficiency, and time will prove that
German efficiency can not withstand
it, fighting as it is for liberty, justice,
and humanity.
