AMERICAN EFFICIENCY.
What the United States Has Accomplished
in Four Months of War,
German efficiency has been held
up as a degree of excellence unattainable
by a democracy. The accomplishments
of the United States
since April 5th 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
between this country and Germany;
Seized ninety-one German ships
> i 1, ?
ana Degun repair ?unv uu mew.
Authorized unanimously a war
fund of $7,000,000,fi00.
Appropriated $600,00(1,000 for
merchant shipping:, and as much fori
air fleets;
Agreed to loan our allies $3,000,-1
000,000 and advanced them a large i
proportion of that sum;
Passed a selective draft law and j
in a single day registered nearly ten j
million men for military service;
Enlisted 600,000volunteer soldiers
in the regular army and in the National
Guard of the States;
Sent a commission to Russia to
aid democracy there and a body of
railroad men to Russia and another to j
France to advise and assist in rail -1
road transportation in those coun-1
tries.
Begun the construction of thirtytwo
camps for our soldiers;
Sent to England a fleet of destroy-1
ers and to France a detachment of
troops; i
Authorized and now enforcing
embargo whereby our enemies will
receive no more food or material
from us;
Passed a food conservation law;
Organized many voluntary commissions
and boards who are aiding
the government and the people in
the speeding up of work, conservation
nf fond and other national
movements;
Drafted by lot 687,000 men for
military service;
While the government was accomplishing
these things the American
people have loaned the United States
$2,000,000,000 and offered $1,000,000,000
more, over four million citizens
subscribing to the loan.

In addition they have given over
$100,000,000 to the American Red
Cross and $3,000,000 to the Young
Men's Christian association.
All these things were accomplished
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 performing
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 America's
entry into the war as a bluff.
This is our answer.
The German Imperial Government
was nearly fifty years in perfecting
its military efficiency. In less than
four months the American Republic
hoc mnHp snnh strides as to indicate
that in less than two years' time the
boasted superiority of German efficiency
will have been discredited.
There is such a thing as American
efficiency, and time will prove that
German efficiency cannot withstand
it, fighting as it is for liberty, justice
and humanity,
THOUSANDS OF SLACKERS.
Uncle Sam Instructs Agents to Begin
Round-up,
Washington, July 30:?Declaring
that thousands of men of draft age
evaded registration and have escaped
the call to the army, Attorney General
Gregory today instructed all
United States attorneys to begin a
round up of the slackers and start
criminal prosecution.
The Attorney General says that
from reports made up to July 16 it
appears that thousands of men escaped,and
emphasizes the importance to
the government of a prompt search.
District attorneys,he says, are not
! expected to make a house-to-house
canvass.nor a comparison of the registration
list with the various tax
lists of each county, but are to engage
in assistance of local officers or
voluntary organizations whenever
that can be done.
When slackers are found they are
to be registered, and to be assigned
by lot to serial numbers of persons
exempted.
