...M a" THE.BEE: OMAHA, THURSDA DECEMBER 5, 1918. M'ADOO MAKES REPORT OF U. S. WAR FINANCES Cost of Fifteen Months Is Thirteen Billions, But Some Is Permanent- ly Invested. ' Washington, Dec. 4. The finan cial history of America's part in the ; war is set forth by Secretary Mc Adoo in his annual report drafted efore his resignation, and made public today by the treasury. It, is the history of how the American people paid billions in taxes.-raised four great Liberty loans and created ' a tremendous pool of credit with , which the treasury, through its many war agencies, paid the bills of ' the army and navy, the shipping ; board and .other government depart ments, loaned billions to the allies ! and. millions to war industries, help ' ed support the families of soldiers and sailors and tided farmers over ; periods of financial stringency. ' The payment into the treasury of ; ' vast sums Sn war taxes ana1 from ; bond sales," said Secretary' McAdoo, ' 'and the transformation of our var ied and complex economic life to the supreme task of winning the war have been accomplished without shock of financial disturbances. The credit and business structure of the nation remains sound and strong. The results of the four Liberty loans are a tribute to the patriotism of the American people and to the economic strength of the nation." Final Accounting. The report constitutes Secretary , McAdoo's' final accounting of his ' Stewardship before retiring as, the : nation's finance minister. Through out the report. Mr. McAdoo refers repeatedly to the remarkable achievements of America's, civilian population in providing the money and materials for war, and acting as the "eager second line of defense." .-Commenting on the showing of financial arrangements in great de tail by the document, treasuy librarians recalled that the financial history of the Civil war is buried in a great stack of musty ledgers, and probably never will be officially compiled. For the. fifteen months ending last June 30, Secretary McAdoo esti mated that the actual cost of the war, with allowances for the gov ernment's ordinary expenses in ordi nary times, amounted to $13,222, (100,000. Nealy half of1 this, or $6 W.OOOsflOO, went Into permanent in vestments, in the form of ships, shipyards, war vessels, army camps, buildings, and ln-lfans to allies or to American war industries. Of the year's expenses 31.6 per cent came from taxation. , How It Was Spent. The civil establishment of the government during the year spent $1,507,000,000, while the War de partment sent $5,684,000,000 and the navy $1,368,000,000. For support of the army alone the government paid out $4,412,000,000. The naval expenditures included the construc tion of new vessels, machinery, armament, equipment and improve ments at navy yards. Total ordinary disbursements for the year amount ed to $8,966,000,000 and ordinary re ceipte, excluding money received front Liberty loans, amounted to - $4,174jOCO,000. Loans to allies dur ing the year amounted to $4,739, C0O.000 additional. Looking forward. Secretary Mc Adoo found great difficulty in fore casting expenditures ror the current fiscal year, which ends next June 0, on account of the sudden com- i lg of peace. Estimates which he presented are based on calculations of each department in advance of . revisions since the signing of the armistice and he does not consider them reliable. With this explana tion Mr. McAdoo forecast expendi tures for this year at $20,687,000,000 for government purposes and $4,375, 000,001) for loans to allies and $2,540, 000,000 for redemption of outstand ing certificates and other debt can cellation. Total estimated disburse ments for the year were put at $27,- . 7J 8,000,000. Estimato May Be High. Against this estimate, which actual expenses at the rate of a little more than a billion and a-half dollars a month to date indicate is too high, Mr. McAdoo calculated' that the government will receive about $5, 'tOO.000,000 before the end of the fiscal year -next June 30, from in come and profits taxes, $1,100,000 000 from other taxes. $190,000,000 from customs and $555,000,000 from miscellaneous sources, including $7,000,000 from ' increased" postage, making estimated receipts from or , dinary sources' $6,846,000,000. In . iddition, lie figured roughly on a little more than, $5,000,000,000 from further issues of Liberty bonds and $1,200,000,000 from war. savings. These -figures added to , receipts from Liberty loan bonds already sold make '$14,168,000,000, the total of popular borrowings expected during the year. On this basis total estimated receipts would be $21, 022,000,000 or $6,695,000,000 less than tentative estimates of dis bursements. Actual developments ire expected to change these cal culations greatly. Concerninsr the tremendous part Dlayed by the . federal riserve" sys tem during tne war. secretary Ale Adoo had this to say: , v "The federal reserve system has permitted the enormous transactions connected with the financing of the war to be carried through without shock or disturbance and its services will not be less important to the government and to the nation in fa cilitatin? the readjustment from a war basis to a peace basis and to assist and foster thereafter the development of agriculture, in dustry and commerce under normal peace conditions. v Few. Bonds Converted., Mr. "McAdoo dealt at length witn the accomplishments of the War Risk Insurance" bureau, which has built up an organization of 14.000 cmpJoves, necessary tor the issuance of about 1,000,000 checks every month to soldiers or their depend cnts for allotments, allowances, dis ability compensation and insurance "It is certainly one of the great est business enterprises " in " the Write a Love Letter-JVin a Priez! In Adelaide Kennedy's serial story "Who Stacks My Cards," the heroine recently received a letter "a wonderful letter," she calls it frbm her soldier lover in France in which he says y ' "I should ba happy, even now, under fire, to know that the cleanest-souled girl in the world is waiting to share life's pleasures and the love which only God can bestow upon man. "In my blanket at night I lie dreaming of the few evenings we spent together, recalling your ideals, your wondarful high aims, your youthful spirit, so frank and free, your deep, large, blue eyes that mirror a wonder ful soul that cannot be touched by life's mud and mire. Always I have, when I picture my country, one face be fore me that is my courage." - ' What Should the Answer Be? It's up to Dorothy to send a reply. ' What should she "'write? What would you write?

The report discloses that Liberty loan conversions have been made as follows: First Liberty loan, 3J4 per cent bonds exchanged for 4 per cent bonds, $568,320,000; First Lib erty loan, 3'2S and 4s exchanged for 4,t4s, $183,899,000; Second Lib-, erty loan 4s exchanged for 4js, $1,541, 661,000. This indicates that most bond buyers have failed to take advantage of the Treasury's offer to convert past issues into bonds bearing a higher rate of interest. It is now too late to convert. U. S. Grain Corporation Not Certain to Buy the Wheat Crop of 1919 The president's proclamation of February 211 1918, fixing guaranteed prices for the 1918 wheat crop ap plies to wheat "harvested in the United States during the year 1918 and offered for sale before the first day of Junt, 1919, to such agent or employe of the United States, or other person as may be hereafter designated" at the principal primary markets' specified, according to Charles T. Neale, second vice presi dent of the food , administration grain corporation. The food administration grain corporation was designated June 21, 1918, to purchase the 1918 wheat crop and will therefore continue to exercise that duty and obligation even though peace should be signed prior to June 1. 1919. The food con trol act provides that termination of the act shall not affect any obliga tion accrued or accruing during its existence and the purchase of, the 1918 wheat crop is such an obliga tion. ' The president's proclamation of September 2, 1918, establishing' guaranteed prices for the 1919 wheat crop applies to wheat harvested in the. United States during 1919 and offered for sale before June 1. 1920: Thus, although the guarantee for the 1919 wheat crop will continue until Jane 1, 1920, there is no present assurance it will be purchased or handled by the food administration grain corporation.

The congress was sched aled to meet in September, 1917, to discuss the Jewish question with regard to the peace settlement, but was postponed on account of war conditions. Reports of various commissions dealing with the status of the Jews in different countries, will be heard at this meeting.

Three Stolen Cars Recovered by City's Auto Detectives Detectives l'szanowski and Murphy returned Wednesday night from a trip to Hastings in company with William McKenna alias Jack Fitzgerald, whom they had taken with them to show where some of the motor cars he had stolen were pulanted. McKeirtia'was captured last week in a car belonging to I. J. Irian,' Yutan, Neb.; at Eighteenth and Nicholas streets.

"Our near future foreign policy is affected by arrathe factor, namely the capacity of the world's shipping. We have got to feed the world for a while and it is going to take ships to carry the food.

You are confronted, now by graver and harder duties. You, as mothers, wives and sisters, are called upon to face the separation from all that ia most dear to you. The war must be won tfot less by women than by the fighting men. The influence of women, is felt everywhere on thd battW field, in the hospital: and amongst the producers at home. Women rJl Tver the world realize more and more that their work at home will help the men at the Front.
