Cost of War.

A naval battle nowadays is the
costliest in all the history of wars.
The feet of the United States op-
posed to the fleet of Spain, in ac-
tive engagement for one day (sun-
rise to sunrise) would eat more
money than many of the wars of
the past.
It would cost $4,000 to FIRE
Sandy Hooks mortars once. A
shot from any of the big rifles is
worth $3.50. In two-hour engage
.ment five ships could fire away
$I,3o0,00o in ammunition. Now
bear.in mind, that the largest cali
bered and highest-priced guns are
only good for limited number of
shots. So to this cost per shot for
ammunition you must add the
quotient of the original value of
the gun divided by the shot capac-
ity-say 100000 divided by 200
equaling $500. To supply our
present warships with needed am
munition costs S6,8OO,OOO.
