Moreover, "All of those German boys * * * did their full duty as soldiers and all were liked by the members of tho company and regiment. My mind often recalls these gallant men and I, along with others of their comrades, honor their memory for the worth of the men, both as citizens and sol diers of 'Tho Lost Cause'."

"If tho South this year does not produce Its own food and feed and has to exchange cotton for the food and feed," says the United States Department of Agriculture, "lt will be poorer rathor than richer." One of the factors that make lt ab solutely necessary for tho South to produce its own food and not to roly upon tho North or West in any de gree is Hie extent to which the rail ways are being called upon to trans port the men and supplies of the army. Tho total present army of the Unitod States ls given by the War Department as practically 1,500,000 men. Of those, 800,000 men are es timated by the Department of Agri culture to bo In the Southern State?. On the basis of transportation figures given by the War Department, lt ls estimated that to carry the moo from Southern camps 62,290 cars, or 3,060 trains, locomotives and train crews would be required. In addition to transportation of troops, there is the problem of sup plying them with food for them selves and feed for their live stock. It is estimated that for the mainten ance of the American army alone, transportation will bo required for 1,704,320 tons this year. On the basis of 10,000 pounds per car, this would require 8f>,216 carloads. For the maintenance of animals used by tho army, transportation will be re quired for 128,833 tons per month. With hay and grain averaging 32, 000 pounds per car this would re quire 8,052 cars a month or 96,624 cara a year. Tho magnitude of the task of feed ing the troops in the Southern States is indicated by tho number of large camps in this section of the country. In addition to these are numerous aviation fields and special training camps at other points in the South. Other items to be figured In the transportation demands ?re the haul age of oxport materials to Southern seaports In order to relieve the con gested Northern seaports, and the haulage made necossary by the con struction of ships at various South ern seaports. Tho South must feed itself, says tho Department of Agriculture. It points to tho recent warning by Mr. McAdoo, director general of railways, that transportation may be lacking in tho fall of 1918 to haul food and food to States and communities that do not pr?vido for themselves.

Washington, April 4,-Nino billion dollars is tho approximate cost to the United States of one year of war. Moro than one-half has gone In loans to allies and will be repaid ovontually; over one-third bas been spcn* for tho army and military es tablishment; one-tenth for iii? navy, and one-fifteenth for shipbuilding. .lust one-sixth of this big war cost bas been raised by taxation and other ordinary sources of rovonuo, and the balance has como from sale of Lib erty Bonds and certificates of indebt edness. Enormous as these war expendi tures may seem to a country whoso government in peace times costs be tween $700,000,000 and $800,000, 0O0, they are less than Great Bri tain's and are only about two-thirds of estimates made by officials less than a year ago. Slow progress of tho shipbuilding program and the retarding of the outpouring of war sup pi ion uro regarded by officials as the chief reasons why expenses did not o(iual estimates. lBllion Ber Month. Government, expenses now are run- ? liing about a billion dollars a month, ' with somewhat less than half going to allies, who spend the greater part of their loans for war supplies In this country. | Since the declaration of war, April G, 1917, tho government's actual ex penditures have been more than $9,800,000,000, but about $800,000, 000 of this sum would have been spent for normal activities, oven if : the United States had not entered the war. x j Ordinary ' expenditures, under which the treasury classifies all out lays for operation of government machinery and war enterprises, since the declaration of war have been approximately $5,084,000,000. Ac-' tual payments to allies amounted to about $4,742,000,000. Income from internal revenue, . most of which is represented by war taxes, and from customs and miscel- ? laneous sources, has run up to about j $1,535,000,000, aird the two Liberty! Loans have brought to. the treasury' a little less than $5,800,000,000. Small collections from war savings and thrift stamps in the last four months amount to $140,000,000. Other I,??ml Exiiendltnres. There are a number of other mi nor receipts and expenditures, but , they do not materially affect tho cou- j dition of the public coffer. Outlays i for redemption of certificates of in debtedness, although appearing large , on paper, actually mean little to the government In the long run, since' the certificates represent short time loans-public borrowings which are repaid within threo months. About $3,200,000,000 of certifi cates of Indebtedness are now out standing and will bo redeemed . at various times within the next few months. This means that tho treas ury has received this amount to cover running expenses, but will have to repay it soon out of receipts from taxes duo in June and from the third Liberty Loan. Financial experts of the govern ment calculate that the war has cost In dollars even more than the formal treasury figures show, on account of Increased expenditures of many State and local governments under war conditions. Thoy do not venture to estimate the aggregate of these expenses, however. On the other hand, the war has resulted in innum erable economies-public, private and personal-enforced party by rising costs and partly by organized economy movements. To Cure a Cold In One Day.

Washington, April 3.-"The Amer ican Creed," for which tho city of Baltimore offered a prize of $1,000, was made public hore to-day. Its selection was tho result of a "na tional citizens' creed contest," ap proved by Prosldcnt Wilson, Speaker Clark and a host of famous Ameri can?. Tho author of tho creed, who wins the $1,000 prize, is William Ty ler Page, of Friendship Heights, Maryland and Washington. It reads: The American's Creed. "1 believe in the United States of Am?rica as a government of the pao ple, by the peoplo, for tho people; whose just powers are derived /rom tho consent of tho governed; a de mocracy In e republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice aud hu manity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. "I, therefore, believe it ls my duty to my country to love lt; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; to defend it against all enemies." The idea of laying emphasis on the duties and obligations of citizen ship in a national creed originated with Henry S. Chap?n and was first announced by him in September, 1916. Tho Idea was approved by the President and endorsed by "The Vigilantes," a non-partisan organiza tion of authors, artists a?d othera for patriotic purposes.
