The Debts of the Warring Nations,
The Londen Economist for February
places the total gross debt of Great
Britian at 5,678,600,000 pounds ($27,
686,000 000).
The French minister of Finance in
presenting the budget for 1918 esth
mated the public debit of France on
December 31, 1918, at 115,166,068,000
france ($22,227,000,000).
The public debt of Italy at the end
of 1017 is estimated at about 85,000,
000,000 lire ($6,676,000,000).
The debts of the Central Powers are

this amount has been loaned to our
Allies and will be repaid ue. It is es

MANY TRAINED WORAERS
ARE NEEDED BY
ARMY AND NAVY
The civilian branches of the Army
and Navy are in need of thousands of
bighly trained workers, and before the
end of 1918 these branches must be in-
creased by at least 20,000, according to
the Civil Service Commission,
The Ordnance Department of the
Army needs large numbers of mechan-
foal engineers, draftamen, chemistr,
snd metallurists, Thousands of in-
spectors are wanted to pass on quality
of ordnance, sammunitions, and other
supplies, For office work statisicians,
accountants, assistants in business ad-
ministration, and specially trained
clerks are needed.
£The Quartermaster Corps wants sev-
eral thousand examiners snd inspect.
ores, and passeoger and freight clerks
sre nesded. The Bignal Corps is
short of draftemen.
I'he Navy bas an unlimited number
of places for draftamen, and a jong list
of positions for technical workers,
Practically all branches of the service
need stenographers, typists, book keep:
ers and clerks.
DISCOURAGING LETTERS
CAUSRDESERTION
FROM ARMY CAMPS
In a recent statement the War De-
partment strongly advises against dis-
coursging letters to soldiers :
“ Recent reports from commanding
generals of certain Army divisions in-
dioates that one of the fruitful ceuses
of soldiers absentng themesives with-
out leave is the discouraging letter
from home. Baoh letiers frequently
give alarming and exsggerated reports
of conditions surrounding the soldier's
family, that some member is desper-
ately il], that all are starving, or that
they are being In some way harassed.
In instances such letters have so
preyed upon the minds of soldiers that
they have absented themselves with-
out leave to go home, only to find
that conditions bad been grossly exag-
“ Meanwhile the soldier had been
absent without leaves serious mill
tary offense. His problem then be-
oame one of facing the penalty or gels
ting deeper into trouble by deserting.
Some! imes » man's pride or fear bas
led him to desert,
* Every soldier wanta to receive lel-
They should be fre-|
quent, cheerfu’, hopeful and spprecis-
tive of the sacrifice that he is making |
They should be full
of family incidents and cheerfal home |

noysnces of everyday life, They |
confiderce that his family and hie
enterprise he has undertaken,
fers Js teyond estimate, The harm
do bim is clearly indicated by reports
st The Adjutant Genersi’s Office,
Here are some extracts from recent re
ports of division commanders :
flies of the men write to them of un-
satisfactory conditions at home, sick
pees of relatives, and how much va™
fous members of the family wish to ree
the soldier, These letters, #0 far as
sickness, elc., are con cerned] sre often
overdrawn, but combined with the
homesick feeling, often 1esuit in the
man going absent without Jeave and
fl ally dropped ae a deserter '’,
“I sm now, through the newspap-
ors of Indiana apd through lecturers
in Kentucky, whom we are able to
resch through the office of the adjo-
tant general of that Btate, endeavorivg
to advise the home people of these
men of the seriousness of these off :nees
and that their efforts thould be to se-
sist every man in performing the duty
that has devolved on him, to lighten
his worries and above all, to regard de
sertion in ite proper light. I sball al
so attempt to get the West Virginia
papers to institute a 0. mpaign of edo-
eation along similar lines.
“A division Ipepector submitted
the follow lrg in this convection ;
“ While stationed at Columbia Bar.
racks, Ohio, last sear I was a member
of a general courl-muartisl that tried
approximately 100 enlisted men for de-
sertion from Natioosl Guard regis
ments stationed on the border. I be-
lfeve I am safe in saying thet at least
90 por cent of them gave as their rea
sons for desertion the fsot that they
pad received letters from home to the
effect that a wife, slater, or mother | Bend
was either dying, very ill, or in desti-
tue circumstances, snd begged the
men to come home at once, Many of
the men admitted thet when they 8 «
{ rived home they found that the writ-
er of the letter bad cxsggeraled cord)

“ Many young soldiers, fresh from
| home, sufler from homesickness, no
matter how Army «fllcers way try to

{comfortable and provide proper

| partment during the past year to keep
{the young soldiers sctively engsged
while in eamp with sports, amuse-
| mente, and comforts that a whole:ome
psychology might be sustaived, Bill
| a type of soldier will yearn for home
and fall into a brooding mood. It ie
| obvious how harmful to him snd to
the service a discontented letter from
home might be’.
| MEAT FOR ARMY USE
| MUST PASS CAREFUL
INSPECTION
Tbe Army consumes about 2,600,000
pounds per day of fresh beef, This

time it comes on the hoof to the abal-

SEEK CURE OF ELECTROLYSIS |
Covernment Experts Ald in Installing
System to Prevent Damage to
Metal Structures,
The damage done annually to under
ground pipes,
gtructures In this country by electroly-
gis amounts to many millions of dol
ars. There are very few water, gus
or lend cable systems that are not
more or legs subject at some points to
electrolytic damage from stray cur-
rents. Moreover, the loss does not
consist merely in the shortening of
the life of such SL tures ; electroly-
tie damage 1s one o 1 ses of the
leakage of water and gas from distrib-
ution systems, The failure of such
svetems on account of electrolytic ac
also involve various dangers
ith of human beings.
u of standards
and distinct
of dea with the electroly-
gis problem have "been proposed and
experimented with from time to time.
Some of these methods are useless, or
even harmful. The bureau of stand-
ards has been studying the subject of
electrolysis mitigation for the last six
years, and has alded In installing coms-
plete mitigative systems in geveral
cities. The bureau makes somewhat
detailed tests in each of these

Alaska Coal Helps In Wag,
The Alaska rallroad from Beward,
on the coast, to Fairbanks, 470 miles
inland and located on the Tenans
river, n navigable tributary of the Yue
kon, which was ordered by act of
congress in 1014, has been completed
far enough th justify the expectation
that it will be ready for use early in
1018, It taps two coal mines, the Mo
tanuska and the Nenana, which gré
believed to be inexhaustible, and he
product of which has been found ew
{ cellent for use on locomotives and
steamboats, The raflroad wil bring
this coal direct to tidewater, and whe
the supply is brought into use, it will
provide sufficient for all naval bases
in the Pacific and release thousands
of cars now used in transporting eoal
across the continent. This will help
fight the war by providing increased
transportation for men and munitions.
Promotion for Rear Admiral,
The title of rear admiral always
peems odd to the layman, says the
fpringficld Union; but never more so
than when it is worn by a naval coms
mander who i8 dt the front and, so fag
as one may gather from the vague
hints the cables carry, putting in good
work against the enemy. Comment-
ing on this, the Boston Tra nseript
guggests promoting such officers to the
gitle of “front admiral.
