CORDOVA, ALASKA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17,1917.
HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT
Subscribers to the recent $2,000,000,000 issue ol Liberty
bonds nnd intending subscribers to the second Liberty Loan are
interested in knowing just how the money obtained is used. A
large amount of money is necessary to maintain the^ navy, ]
which has been called upon to defend our coast and our com-1
merce from attack. ■
To put the navy on a war basis, every ship in reserve had
to be fully manned and commissioned. Many auxiliary vessels
also had to be added.
On April 6 there were 64,680 enlisted men; now there are
more than 136,000. In addition, we have enlisted more than
35,000 reserves and there are 10,000 national naval volunteers
in service.
Contracts have been placed for every destroyer and sub
marine chaser that the shipyards of the country can build, and
new records are expected in construction. All this is in addi
tion to the 32,000 ton battleships; the five battle cruisers of
35,000 tons each, the largest and swiftest war vessels ever built,
the six scout cruisers arid many auxiliary craft for which we
have made contracts. These will be built as early as possible,
but the right of way in construction is being given to destroyers
and small craft.
Since the day war was declared the navy has patrolled our
own coasts. For coast defenses scores of vessels have been se
cured—yachts, fishing vessels, fast motor boats, ami other
minor craft, and others are being added to this force as rapidly
as possible.
The navy has sent to France a corps of aviators, who ar
rived on June 8, the first contingent of the regular armed forces
of the United States to land on- French soil. The aeronautic
corps lias been greatly enlarged, aviation bases established
along -the coast, and officers and men trained in the operation
of sea planes, dirigible baloons ami other types of aircraft. An
additional appropriation of $45,000,000 has been asked for
aviation.
About $80,000,000 is involved in the entire building pro
grom in our navy yards, training stations, submarine and avia
tion bases, the big storage warehouses we are building for mu
nitions and supplies, the new shops, foundries, shipyards, the
huge drydocks, ami the various structures under way or pro
vided for.
The marine corps has more than doubled in enlisted
strength since the war began. On April 6 there were in the
corps 426 commisioned officers and 13,266 enlisted men. It now
has more than 28,000 enlisted men, only 1,479 recruits beingjFe
quired to bring it up to its full authorized enlisted strength of
30,000. A force of marines has been landed in France for ser
vice under General Pershing, and the entire corps is eager foi
action.

A Brooklyn woman forged her mother’s name after the
mother’s death to a pension voucher in order to buy food for
her starving children. The court found her guilty, fined her
one cent and paid the fine, is a Leslie melting pot story. Why
not have cheated the law for once and freed her without fixing
the odium of a conviction upon her!

Some statistician has figured it out thatAmerican women
spend $20,000 a minute, that is $1,200,000 an hour and $9,600,
000 for an eight hour day, and who ever heard of a woman, or
man for that matter, applying the shortday principle to squan
dering.
