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.'

A Play for Patriots.
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. So much for gratifying
tutte.

When a Man Dies
The most worthless asset to

You INTEND to take life
insurance, or MORE life insurance
some day.
Take a policy TODAY in the
Union Central Life,
Of Cincinnati, and create at
once a valuable estate by the
payment of only two or three
per cent on its value.
If yon are under 30 years of
age, five cents a day will
pay for $1,000 of life insurance?the
price of a cigar or

A real estate deal of more-importance
perhaps than any that ~
has taken place in Fort Mill in ?
a number of years 'was that ?
consummated , the last week whereby
L. A. Harris became _
the owner of the Nivens prop- "
erty at the "head of Main street, "
now occupied as a livery and
feed stable by W. F. Harris.
The consideration was not made (
known. In conversation with
The Times man, Mr. Harris
stated that he had not definitely
decided as to whejther he would
improve the property in N the _
immediate future. Lying as it
does at the intersection of Main "
and Booth streets this property is
ideally located for a mwcan- _
tile or other public building.
