Cost of the War in Money Is Enormous Official treasury statements of the nations now at war give the first definite information of the actual cost British treasury hills, issued specifi- cally tor war expenses, Aug. 1 to Oct. 1, amount to mora than $300,000,000. Later the government issued notes tor $75,000,000 mora. 80 that the cost of the war to England, which has a very small army In comparison with those of her allies, exceeds $5;ooo,000 a day. V. Rlbot, French minister of finance, stated last week that the advances made by the Bank of France to the government on war account amounted on Oct. 1 to $490,000,000, or $7,000,000 a day. The enormous gold reserve which the French government always carries has not, however, been deplet- ed. It still stands at more than $800,- 000.000, and has not fallen since the war began. The Imperial Bank of Germany se- cured more than $200,000,000 In gold from various countries, partly from the United States, in the two weeks before war was declared. The gold holdings of the Imperial bank last week were $425,000,000, against $289,800,000 on the same date last year. Since the war the German govern- ment has issued one loan of $1,200,000,- 000, promptly subscribed by the Ger- man people without, it is stated, a sin- gle foreign subscription. In the first two months of the war the Imperial bank of Germany increased Its circu- lation of small notes by several hun- dred millions, the outstanding notes a week ago standing at $1,022,700,000, against $548,000,000 on the same day last year. No official Statement is given out by the German government or Imperial bank of the actual war expenses, but It is stated officially that there are 1,500,000 men actually fighting in France and Belgium, and between 1,- 100,000 and 1,200,000 more German soldiers on the Russian frontier. There Is a very much larger force actually engaged than France has in the field. It is a larger force than even Russia reports as fully mobilized and.at the front As Germany is doing heavier fighting in every respect than Frances-more men in the field, more ordnance, carrying men and munition longer distances and conducting opera- tions wholly in foreign countries--as she is doing everything on a larger scale than any other nation engaged in war, and at the moment doing it much more effectively than any other nation. It Is certain that her daily ex- penses far exceed the $7,000,000 a day which France is spending. From Austria we have an official estimate that the war is costing 12.- 600,000 a day. Russia always makes a mystery oi her war finances and of her govern- ment No official statement has been given of her borrowing or expenses, but they undoubtedly equal those of France at the present moment As for the valiant little Belgium, little is known, except that she has already received loans of $100,000,000 from France and England. This sum psys only a very small part of her money loss, and does not relieve the measureless human bloodshed and suf- fering she has endured. From this brief summary, mainly from official figures, it appears that the cost of the war in money--the least part of it--is not less than $30,- 000,000 a day. This is equivalent to the total earnings of about 15,000,000 of persons engaged in gainful occupa- tions m time of peace.,--------------------- The cost of all previous wars has, of course, been trivial compared to this. The Boer war cost England $1,000,000 a day. The Spanish war cost the United States about the same The Civil war cost the United States $1,000,000 a day in the first year and $3,000,000 a day during the fourth year. The Russo-Japanese war cost $3,000,000 a day to both combatants. The Franco-Prussian war of 1870, in which Germany crushed France In forty-seven days, cost $3,200,000 a day to the two nations combined. The latter figures are official. The modern war is a matter of a war chest almost as much as it is a matter of men. How long can the great powers stand the strain, even if flesh and blood endure?--Examiner.

From Now on--the COMMUNICATIONS The time for work, In behalf of the nation's united offering of Christmas cheer to the victims of cruel war, is short.

Jussurand. French Ambassador, says: "As the cold season la at hand and wilt have «et in when your Christmas ship goes, I am sure that the large percentage of warm clothing which you Intend to in elude among your gifts will be es- pecially welcome."

Something from you all would make a mighty showing, a splendid contribution. Several railroads have offered to send gifts free, but must get permis- sion from the inter-state commission, which will no doubt be given. On ar- rival at New York, the National Red Cross association will sort, and place gifts on the war vessel--the Nation's Christmas ship. They will distribute them fairly, equably, and, without question, HONESTLY, when they reach the devastated districts. The campaign must be quick, short, and to the point. Time and tide wait for no man, neither will the Christmas ship. VICTORIA ADAMS BARBER.
