It was on July 4th the announce-
ment was made that a million men
had been sent overseas, so that Gen-
eral March’s statement last Saturday j
that the total number is now above j
1,750,000 shows that 750,000 have |
1 . en sent over within a little more i
than two and one-half months. If!
that rate of nearly 300,000 a month
shall be kept up uninterruptedly, we
shall have an army of not much less
than 3,000,000 overseas by Jan. 1, and
one of 3,500,000 by the beginning of
operations next spring. It is stated
that already the American army alone
is nearly one-half the size of the Ger-
man army o nthe western front. If
some estimates recently made of the
size of the German army are correct,
r.ctably that of Hilaire Belloc two
weeks ago, the whole German force on
the western front is less than twice
the size of the American army now
in France. But, however this may be,
the fact that we have sent over 1,750,-
000 men together with the fact that
we continue to send them at the rate
of 300,000 a month, shows how hope-
lessly outnumbere the Germans must
be by spring of next year. The Amer-
ican army alone will be larger than
the army which there is any reason to
believe the Germans can put on the
western front. And this, too, when lib-
eral allowance is made for the rein-
forcements they may be able to get by
impressing into military service all
men who are neither too young nor
tco old to shoulder a musket. General
Murch stated that we have only to
execute the military program that has
bopn adopted to end the war next year.
He seems to have spoken with that ex-
traordinary conservation which char-
nel erizes the promises andd prophecies
of military officers.—Dallas News.

THE FOURTH LOAN IS THE
FIGHTING LOAN.
1 _Mie campaign for the Fourth
iTitx'rty Loan approaches the Ameri-

Berlin. Under our own leaders the
great American Army has won a not-
able victory.
The Fourth Loan must be a great
success. The Fourth Liberty Loan is
a fighting loan.
When our soldiers on the battle
front are braving death, each one
offering to make the supreme sacrifice
for his country and the great cause,
vve who remain safely at home surely
should give them every support,
should make every sacrifice to
ourselves we can mala our dollars
strengen them. If an not fight ,

It is a great cause for which Amer-
ica is engaged in this war; it is a
great struggle in which the very hope
of the world is hound up that is being
waged in Europe and on the high seas.

Man power, we are told, is winning
the war for the Allies. The new
draft law will naturally make a big
hole in the available number of men
in the United States. The “man want-
ed” advertisements in the daily news-
papers tell many interesting stories.
Statistics available in Washington
are, however, more specific. From
these it appears that the war indus-
tries of the United States are at the
moment short between 300,000 and
400,000 common laborers. The short-
age in skilled labor is almost acute,

solve some of the problems occassion- | e__
ed by the above conditions; and one of
of the methods for getting more la-
bor is to declare certain vocations as
non-essential. Undoubtedly if all the
“non-essential” could be put into the
productive class it would go a long
way towards solving labor troubles;
but in such an event a whole lot of
gentlemen with soft hands and polish-
ed finger nails would get mussed up
considerably. Special attention is be-
ing given by the new employment ser-
vice conducted by the Government to
