The Cash Cost of War David Starr Jordan, who is to lecture here soon, comments thus on the cash cost of war: "This war began, according to Professor Richet's calculation, at a cost of $50,000,000 per day. "Richet's calculation in 1912 was an underestimate as to expenses on the sea and in the air.

These with the growing scarcity of bread and

shrapnel, the equipment of automobiles, and the unparallelled ruin of cities have raised this cost to $70,000,000 per day. "This again takes no count of the waste of men and horses, less costly than the other material of war and not necessarily to be replaced. All this is piled on top of "the endless caravan of ciphers" ($27,000,000,000) which represented the accumulated and unpaid war debt of the Nineteenth century. "Yves Guyot, the French Economist, , estimates that the first six months of War cost Western Europe in cash $5,400,000,000, to which should be added further destruction estimated at $11,600,000,000, making a total of $17,000,000,000. Edgar Crammond of London, another high

authority, estimates the cash cost of a year of war, i to . August 1st, -1915, at $17,000,000,000, while other losses will mount up to make a grand total of $46,000,000,000. Mr, Crammond estimates that the cost, to Great Britain for a year of war will reach $3,500,000,000. This sum is

about equivalent to the accumulated war debt of

Great Britain for a hundred years before the war. The war debt of Germany (including Prussia) and also that of, Austria before the war, was about the same. "No one can have any conception, of what $46,000,000,000 may be. It is four times all the coin in the world. If this sum were measured out in $20 gold pieces and they were placed side by side on the railway train, on each rail, they would line with gold every line from New York to the Pacific Ocean, the two Canadian lines included. There would be enough left to cover each rail of the Siberian railway from Vladivostok to Petrograd. There would still remain sufficient to rehabilitate Belgium and to buy the whole of Turkey, at her own valuation, wiping her finally from the map. "Or we may figure in some other fashion. The average working man in America earns

$518 per year. It would take ninety million

years' work to pay the cost of the war ; or ninety million American laborers might pay it off in one year, if all his living expenses were paid. "The cost of a year of the Great War is a little more than the estimated value of all the property of the United States west of the Mississippi River. It is nearly equal to the total value of all the property in Germany ($48,000,000,000) as estimated in 1906. The whole Russian Empire ($35,000,000,000) could have been bought for a less sum before the war began. It could be had, on a cash sale, more cheaply now. This sum would have paid for all the property in Italy ($13,000,000,000); Japan ($10,000,000,000) ; Holland ($5,000,000,000) ; Belgium ($7,000,000,000) ; Spain ($6,000,000,000) and Portugal ($2,500,000,000). It is three times the entire yearly earnings in wages and salaries of the people of the United States ($15,500,000,000)."

Early Wayne Editor Printed His Monthly With Inked Quill Pen

The necessity of writing in longhand every word in each copy of his newspaper would dismay the most energetic editor in Wayne county today. He would give up his elevated profession of enlightening the public mind and of moulding opinion. Such was not always the case. Deacon Bedott bravely undertook such a titanic task on February 1, 1863, when he issued Vol. 1, No. 1 of the Newport Journal. Regarding his labors, the responsibility involved and the public reception of his efforts, Mr. Bedott writes: Realizes Responsibility.. "To our readers: fn assuming the

notes are not devoted to the troubles of the editor. He turns td the confederates and says: "A word to our dear and wicked, misguided confederate states. You are a high-minded chivalrous people and desperately wicked deserve to be hanged everyone of you. But if you will liberally subscribe for the Journal read and thoroughly digest its contents lay down your arms and return to the peaceful walks of life and pray to old Abe for forgiveness by doing all the above things and heeding the advice of this now uni

The suit of the Rlggs National bank against certain of the administration officials is being heard in the supreme court of the District of Columbia. The argument was mostly the comment of the bank's counsel on the answer of John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, to the banks bill of complaint. So bitter did the controversy finally become that Judge McCoy warned them that it must stop. "It is not for the court," said the judge, "to determine how bad blood came to be injected into this case, but this court does not intend to be made a laboratory for the analyzing of bad blood. The case will proceed as between gentlemen and lawyers."
