WAR EXPENSES OF AMERICA
DOUBLE THAT OF ENGLAND
By Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 1—America’s war
expenses now are running about 50
per cent higher than thos^ of Great
Britain, it was shown by comparison
of treasury reports and a newly is-
sued British financial statement.
The monthly cost of the war to the
United States now is about $1,500,-
000,000, including loans to the allies,
while Great Britain,s expenses are
running In the neighborhood of $1,-
000,000,000 a month. The United
States’ war debt is now a little less
than $12,500,000,000 as compared with
Great Britain’s $36*675,000,000.
With the American Forces on the
Marne, Aug. 1.—The Franco-Ameri-
can forces on the main battle front
continue the process of straightening
the line and have scored advances in
this effort., the Americans pushing
beydnd Sergy to within two kilome-
ters of Chamery.
The Germans are not anxious to
meet the allies ofteher than, neces-
sary and they are not taking the op-
portunity to counter attack and at-
tempt to retake important, positions
in the center held by the Americans,
and on the west flank held by the
French and British. This may bear
out the belief that the Germans in-
tend to retire Vo Vesle or beyond as
soon as their plans have been per-
fected, and it is believed that the en-
emy’s efforts fhe past three days has
been wholly for the purpose of cover-
ing important movements.
As long- as the Germans remain
§outh of the line running between
Rheims and Soissons, he is subject
to violent bombardments of the al-
lied guns, which demoralize his com-
munication system.
Mackensen Don’t Want to i Release
Troop*,
Paris, Aug. 1.—The German high
command has asked that a number of
divisions be released from Rumanian
and Russian districts for service on

will be unsafe to remove the troops,
owing to exciting conditions among
the Rumanian population, says a dis-
patch to the Havas agency.
The Germans this morning attack-
ed the French positions In the region
of Bligny, southeast of Rheims. All
the attacks were repulsed, says the
official statement of the war office.

Not* Luxury But an Impor-
tant Essential to the Wel-
fare of Our Nation—
And more particularly so at such a time as this when
the world is struggling in the throes of the greatest of wars.
Music today is playing just as important a part on the bat-
tlefields of France as the large guns, as it helps against those
insidious influences which break an army’s enthusiasm. That
military men recognize the importance of music to soldiers,
both in camp and in action, is daily demonstrated in the-
' great cantonments in this country. Music is also an import-
ant factor in the lives of those the soldiers leave behind them
for when the casualty lists begin to fill the pages of our
newspapers, our greatest solace will be derived through the
joy and harmony of music.
All musical education tends to enhance poetic feeling, also artistic appreciation of the
beautiful in arts and sculpture. As music, therefore, is an essential fundamental for all
studies, it is imperative that you provide good music in your home for the benefit of your
children, for if you put an atmosphere of good music around them in childhood they . will
grow up men and women with a determination and inspiration to reach the highest and nob-
lest planes in life.
- * . < ,
\o matter what your financial condition, it is not necessary for you to deprive yot
home of good music, for great mupic of all ages, operatic master pieces sung by wOTld-famous
artists, and orchestral triumphs of great symphonies can be heard right in ^our own home
on the Columbia Grafonola.
For the latest hits of the top-liners, for the newest nowlty dances, for the comic opera
tunes that everybody whistles, for military music, for the war songs the soldiers really sing,
and for the classic^ music of all ages, buy Columbia Records.
We now have on display a beautiful Mahogany Finish Grafonola with a Non-set Auto-
matic Stop, all you have to do is put the record on, start /he machine and when the reoefd
has been played the machine automatically stops.
Also, we have a limited supply of records of “Pershing’s Message From the Battlefields
of France,” on one side, and James W. Gerard on, start the machine and when the record
should be in every home where there is a talking machine.
