Why Your Help is Needed. * War is costing the nations of the world $6,500,000 an hour and $160,000,000 a day, according to estimates prepared in a booklet to be issued by tne Mecnanics and Metals National Bank of New York. The United States is under a present expense running to fully a fourth of the total amount, or $40,000,000. This is a rate of expenditure greater than that of any other nation involved, Great Britain coming ^second and Germany third. A little less than a year ago it was calculated by the bank making these estimates that the world's total daily war cost, was $100,000,000; at the beginning of the war in August, 1914, the cost was placed at $50,000,000. The total war cost to the world, the booklet declares, will be $155,000,000,000 by next Ausrust, if peace efforts in the meantime are not successful. Already the aggregate expenditures of the various nations have exceeded $100,000,000,000, of which all but a fraction has been translated into permanent national indebtedness. Interest on public debt is now reckoned to be more than 10 per cent, of the normal income of the German people, as compared with less than onehalf of one per cent, in the case of the people of the United States. Altogether, 53,000,000 men are today actively engaged in the war. To what extent the Entente Allies have gained superiority over Germany is shown by the bank in striking fashion. With no more than 2,000,000 of American manhood enlisted, the total military strength of the Allies is 33,000,000 against a total for Germany. Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey of 20,000,000. The population of fourteen Entente Allies, from which the ranks of their armies may be replenished, is altogether 1.300.000,000 against a popula tion of less than 150,000,000 in the Cenrral Eurepean nations. The developed national wealth of the Allies is placed at $600,000,000,000 by the bank, while that of the Teutonic Powers is Riven as $130,000,000,000. Five Classes of Selects. Nine million men, still subject to army draft, will be divided into five classes, and called according to class. The "system is designed to get the best military material first and to allow the man himself to establish his own economic position. Each man will be allowed seven days to answer a questionnaire as to his industrial status and the dependency of any relatives. The exact time of sending out this questionnaire or just what questions it will include are- still under discussion. The classes in general will be divided about thus: Class 1. ? Bachelors without dependents; men with self-supporting wives; ar.y others with no claims of dependency. * Class 2. ?Highly skilled farm laborers, men with wives who could work; and others of only slight dependency. Class 3. ? Men with aged mothers; highly skilled operators in war industries. Class 4.- Men with large families dependent upon them ? say with a wife and three or four children. Class 5.?Legless men, paralytics and others of the military unfit. jy^ggs one would be called first; \^fifircond next if needed and ^ HaSHPeach class the men would be JsHQect to call in the turn which :'^96b original drawing gave them.'

I "The Fall of a Nation" is sure to stir patriotic enthusiasm when presented for the first time here 011 Thursday, " November 1, at the Majestic Theatre. In New York and Chicago the great spectacle was the mecca of many thousands of patriotic Americans who cheered the big scenes to the echo. Thomas Dixon's play vibrates with genuine American-. ism. The author describes it as "a bugle call to arms for the. national defense!" The story is of an imaginary invasion of ihe United States by a foreign power. After the dereat of our , puny army and the subsequent usurpation of authority at Washington, the women of the country come to the rescue and by means nf o I- 1- ? ? vta u ocvici, uaui-oouiiu conspiracy contrive to expel the in' vaders.

EST PART OF FISH WASTEL ublic Really Not Educated to Appreciate the Titbits of the Alaska Salmon. Ah I 8uw the Admiral Watson taking a thousands of cabos of salmon at eldovia 1 asked- Mr. Randolph how ?ng the fish then being shipped hud een out of the water, relates John A. leicher. In Leslie's. lie said: "Only day. They go from here to Seattle nd can be on your table in New York I three or four weeks after they are lught." Fresh lish! Mr. Randolph jaid that one of the loicest delicacies he ever ate was a less of breaded broiled hearts of the Ig king salmon. Some of these fish oigh 18D pounds each, while the red r "sockeye" sulmon average only ight pounds. "They tuste like sweetreads," he added, "it is too bad they re wasted." And bo are the fine, large vers, as big as your hand, and the lawn which If it was sturgeon eggs ould command a high price for fvtmr. I'lans to utilize some of these roducts are being studied by Mr. Rah 3lph and by others. Another titbit the little chunk of sweet, tender eat lodged in the cheek of the salion, just below the gills. The cansrs reserve such delicacies for themilves and their friends, but the time ill come when they will find special ention on the menus of the highestrlced restaurants. The canneTs got at wholesale only sout thirteen cents for a one-pound in of the best red salmon and only ?lf the price for the pink and even as for the white. The red salmon instituted only throe-sevenths of the ick. but three-fourths in value of the itire product. The public prefers the id meat and is willing to pay doublo rice for it.
