1IOW THE MONEY IS SPENT
Subscribers to the recent $2,
000,000,000 issue of liberty bonds
and intending subscribers to
the second lbieriy loan are
interested in knowing just
how tilt money obtained is used. A
large amount Of money is necessary
to maintain tlie N'avy, which ha^
been called upon to defend our
coast and our commerce from at
tack.
To t>ut the Navy oc a war basL>,
every ship in reserve had to be ful
1> mJnned and commissioned. Many
auxiliary vessels also had to be
iuided.
On April 6 there were 64,680 en
listed men; now there are more
than 126,000. In addition, we
have enlisted more than 35,000 re
serves and there aflre 10,000 Na
tional Naval Volunteers in service.
Coutracts have been placed for
every desti*>yer and submarine chaf
er that the shipyards of the coun
try can build, and new records are
expected in construction. All this
is in addition to the 32,000-ton
battleship*; the five battle cruisers
of 35,000 tons each, the largest
and swiftest war vessels ever built;
auxiliary, craft for which ve have
whde contracts. These will be
built us early as possible, but the
right of way iu construction I3 be
ing given to destroyers and small
craft. # i .. jj.ji.
Since the day war was declared
tho Navy has patrolled our own
coasts. For co--st defenses scores
of vessels hAve been secured—yachts
fishing vessels, f&.,t motor boats,
and other minor craft, and others
are being added to this force as
rapidlv as possible.
The .Navy has sent to Prance a
corps oi aviators, who arrived on
June S the first contingent of the
regular armed farces of the United
ijutes to land on French soil. The
Aeronautic .Corps has been great
ly enlarged, ayiation ba^es establish
t*d along the coast, and officers
and men trained In the operation
of seiplanos, dirigible balloons, &nd
other types of aircraft. An addi
tional appropriation of $45,000,000
has been asked for aviation.
Aboul $80,000,000 is involved in
the entire building program In our
nayy yards, training stations, sub
marine and aviation ba^es, the big
storage warehouses we are building
Cor munitions and supplies, the
new shops, foundries, shipwaye, the
huge drydocks, and the various
structures under way or provided

GUARD DUTY
In addition to drilling and figi'
ing as a members of & squad, com
pany, regiment or other "team"
of the Army, you will hare cer
tain Important duties as an Indiv
idual soldier. These duties call
for a higher grade of intelligence
and self-reliance and throw on you
great&r personal responsibility.
Probably your simplest individual
duty will be that of an interior
guart. "Interior guards are used
in camp or police regulations.''
.(Manual of Interior Guard duty*
iwj. 3.)
I'ersonal Responsibility
Guard duty la especially recom
mend e*1 as "of .value in discipline
and training, because of the direct
individual responsibility which is in*
posed and required to be discharg
ed in a definite and precise man
ner." (Manual of interior Guard Din
ty, P*r. 8.) j
Duties Of Orderlies
Members of the guard may be as
signed to duty as orderlies to the
commanding officer or to other of
fioera. "Fcrr thsee jtoeitians tkg
soldiers will be chosen who are
most correct in the performance of
luty in military bearing, neatest in
lierson and clothing, and whose
arms and accouterments are in the
best condition." It is decidedly a
compliment to any soldier to be
designated to serve as an orderly.
0OUUUHB
One o" the most responsible du
ties to which a soldier may be •as
signed is patroling or scouting. An
Infantry patrol usually consists of
from 3 to 16 men. Itt is sent out
for the purpose o£ obtaining infor
mation as to the enemy, his num
bers, and the natur^ of the coun
try over which the patrol travels.
It is not usually intended that tho
patrol should fight, since its prime
purpose is to obtain and bring back1
information. - Ho-wever, it may be
! forced to fight, if discovered, in
order to protect the escape of. at
least CEe of its members with, a
report o' the information secured. ,
LEATHER FROM AQUATIC
AS 1MALS
A representative of the United
State Bureau of fisheries has un
dertaken the wori of bringing about
closer co-operation among fisher
men, tanners, and mauufacturres ia
the development of the u^e of
skins of aquatic animals in the
production of leather. An effort
will be made to ascertain what the
dift'icutliee and problems aTe and
how they may be solved. The bu
reau will lend all possible assist
ance in the development of this in
dustry. Wilmington, Del., New
ark, N. J., New York, Boston, and
various other points hvae been Vis
ited for the purpose of getting in
touch with tanners who are pre
pared to take hold of this work en
ergetically. As demands for the rail
products develop, visits will be
made to the fishing centers for the
purpose of interesting fishermen to
save and market the skins.
The BuTeau cf Fisheries re
cently had an opportunity to ex
amine some additional samples of
leather tanned from fish, skins,
which indicate t± at considerably pre*
gress is being made in'the tanning
of these products.
HOURLY TRAINS TO CAMP
An l.olM-ly service to Camp Lewis

new service. , '.j
Officials of! both, the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern rail

officers at the PO.=t In regard to
travel and indioations are that When
the wet weather sets in trains will

Captain Amuuduen told nu amusing
■tory of one of his urctlc expeditions.
8everal of his dogs having died, Cap
tain Amundsen asked one of the na
tives In his best Eskimo If he would
sell him a few dogs. To his surprise
the request was promptly refused. The
explorer and the Eskimo had a long
argument, the explorer pointing out
that he must get dogs somehow and
the Eskimo replying that they never
sold them.
"Nonsense!" Captain Amundsen ex
claimed. "I have often bought dogs."
The Eskimos seemed Immensely as
tonished, and at the end of another ar
gument Captain Amundsen discovered
that Instead of using the Eskimo word
for "dogs" he bad been usking the man
to sell hlui some "children."
