So the restless section pulls out once more in column of route from the right At the tail of a bloodied afternoon; so the flux of another night - Bears back the wagons we fill at dawn to the sleep ingxolumn again . Cog on cog in the gun-machine,link on link in the chain!; GILBERT FRANKAU -.by 036tPtnkwi cn cri By SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE The war will be won by men and ships, by guns and airplanes. To raise armies and supply them, to build the navy and support it, and to furnish ships and transport, we "must have money in large amounts. The expenditures of the Gov ernment for the ensuing year are estimated at $24,000,000,000, a sum which baffles the imagination to conceive. That vast amount must come one-third from taxes and two-thirds from loans. The success of the Fourth Loan, like those that preceded" it is, therefore, abso lutely necessary. We must work with the highest speed, as if the war was to end in six months. .We. must prepare in every direction, as if it was to last for years. Speed and prep aration are both expensive.
