Oh yes, their mea, or at least the ones who weren't destroyed, are the ones who are to pay for the missiles."

C. SOLDIERS A YEAR LATE The soldier satirist then proceeds:

When Americh joued the partnership in April 1917 19 was ner lor. to get the men and munitions Lo the line at the earliest date possibic. The missiles got

Lacre about a year before the men 12 the men had reached there as soon as shells. In that case we would have paid the munitions, they could have free tou for the shells and also for the waite crosses and war-risk insurance of the men who were destroyed while shooting them. But our men did not get there so soon, and to our partners fell the job of repel ling the enemy and of paying for the ammunition with which they did that job

After recalling that he, the writer, was one of our boys-a member of an American regiment which operated light railways for the British Army-he relates:

On March 24th, 1918, we ran a Bald- win locomotive off the track into a shell hole in order to keep the Germans from capturing and using it. The locomotive typifies the whole inter-Allied debt.

Built at Eddystone, Pennsylvania, it was sold to the British Governinent at a price which afforded American workmen. good wages and the Baldwin stockholders The British Govern- good dividends.

TAXING THE CRITONS.

The American Government had itself borrowed the money from certain of its citizens, and it is at this minute taxing those citizens and others, including me,- to pay interest on the money 'borrowed. It says to the British Government: Come, now, remember your promise. Tax your citizens more in order that we may tax our citizens less. For so it was agreed."

And the net effect of the agreement is Army are being taxed more in order that the survivors of the British Third

should be taxed less. We are dunning that we, who were attached to that army,
