WASHINGTON. \*ov., 6— Why d.*.
es it cost the United States so much
to make war than it costs any of u
• co-belligerents ?
V* hat in being d.one with the ten*
| of billions being raised from Liberty
Bonds and taxation? One often bea’>
t these ejections.
The answer is not difficult.
It is, simply, that it costs an Anier
iean more to do anything than it
costs anyone else in the world.
is tin* best reason why American
should buy Liberty Bonds.
The American army is composed
workingmen. The American workiu,
man demands a higher standard o
; •vorything than other working imm m
the world. When In* becomes a so de
bt* carries that standard wil l him
! and . comparatively, g**ts it.
Napoleon said, and everybody eve1
since has repeated . that an arm
travels on its stomach . So natural’>
| ihe subsistamv of the American sol
, die:* comes first in the long bill whi
Is rapidly running to .>*>0.000.000 :»

’ day.
The it gul; r ration lioi the Amer
ican army vails for foity nim* differ
ent items of fool. It ivh*d s iva>
things which ar» luxurious to the
diers of the foreign armies. At the.,
it only costs ’’2 cents a d: y to i<* *d :
soldier. The figure is ov because th
govei nm nt has the advantage of c :*
-iug ui biPions and tons where tin* iri
dividual (hal> in dollars ami pound;
Kven so. the army has felt the in
crea.Mii co.>t of living because it co.
onl> I2.S1 tents a day t«> feed a s !
diei during the Spanish war.
Take into account the almost stc p
goring sums the government h*.
pent for 1 i d alone since the \sar b
gan $.*47,000,000 worth of flour; M4
000.000 wotth of sugar; •> i‘*.0 O.u
worth of bacon; $12,000,000 worth «»
beaus; $l),iHH),000 worth of canned t
matoes; $fi,000,000 worth of rice. 1
-Ovir. u: almost like a lood bill tor ;
nation.
Without any dispujagement wh;*t
1 ever of the rationing system of t!.
co*bol!igenents it may he said that
while the food of the l»r t.sh sold *
compares favorably with that ol
American cousin, the kronch ration »s

less acceptable to the American aim
that of th • Italians would get a ver..
cold reception.
The equipment of the American
dior is no less up to standard tlr.r
his food. Since the beginning of h«
war the government lias spent
000.000 for shoes. Only recentij
contract was I t which is intended
keep every soldier with two pairs
one for marching and one for gcnarid
wear. The price in quantity of million
was well over $5 a pair. Old soldier
of the regular army can rcir.emh
vheu the government issued "l.*e
gans” far remove <1 in quality
the army shoe of today.
The American soldier’s clothing
far has cost a round $500,000,000 I •
his blankets the government has ;p .* j
$150,000,000. F. very thing else »•- o
proportion for in every particular
his equipment the government ha
supplied th< sohliei with the sum ■ j

turned to at home in civil life. The
