Very Heavy Losses in Men and
Money To
NATIONS OF THE WORLD
Loss Of Life in Battle IS Not as heavy
as 1t Once Was-Per Capita Naval
Tax In Each Country.

The war In Africa and the loss of life
that has already ensued as the result of
this conflict between Great Britain and
the South African republic has once more
called the attention of the world to the
question of the cost Of war. While it
ID known that such "quarrels'' Of nations
cost a great amount of money as well as
the sacrifice of many lives few persons
nave any adequate conception Of the vast
sums that have been spent and of the
enormous number of human lives that
nave been lost in this way during the
present century.
In order to compute the cost of war
IL is necessary to divide the question
INTO TWO parts-money and lives. It is.
or course, difficult to make any state.
ment In regard to the present war in Arr.
ca out at the time of the firing of the
nrst shot 1t was estimated that If the
trouble continued for four months the
cost IN money would not be less than
t!lO,OO 600, or about $50, 0OO, 900, or nearly
one-tenth Of the annual national income.
AS the population of the United Kingdom
Is about $1,000, 900 the increased indebted
ness per head for every man, woman ana
child would be about $1.25. AS there is
every prospect that the war will com
tlnue beyond that time the cost will be
increased accordingly.
In regard to the cost in blood a. 10.

1t is true, however, that during tn
european wars of the first half Of the
century no less than $500, 900 men lost
rnsir ilves IN battle. and Europe was im-

tnan 5000, 600 men have died in battle.
Inc Crimean war alone cost the ma.
tions engaged in it the enorm sum
OF $l,5OO, OOO, GOO. not to speak of the 600.

$4,000 out of an army of 800. 900: Turkev
sacrinced 10000 men; England lost 1000
out OF 5000, and Russia returned with
less than half of her magnificent force
Of $50, 900 men.
While the Franco-Prussian wal last
cd but seven months it cost France no
less n a $3.50, 000, 900, which does not
include the value of Alsace-Lorraine
which was given as indemnity to Ger
many. During this short war more
then a third OF the entire French army

Union force was diminished by %, 900, the
Confederates by $1,000. Sherman left
$1,000 soldiers in his march to the sea;
the siege of Vicksburg cost the south
3 $1,000 men, and 5000 Federals fell during
the battle of the Wilderness. So the
story might be continued. Battle after
battle was fought and each was a horror
beside which the battles in Africa seem
little more than skirmishes.
The daily. cost of the Spanish war
was only 80 per cent Of that Of the
Civil war. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that while there were millions Of
men in the field during the earlier con-
4lict only about a quarter Of a million
were engaged during u latest struggle.

It would probably be seen that the cost

has been estimated that the actual cost
of the Spanish-American war in dollars
and cents will be somewhat less than

sacrificed will not exceed $500.

purpose of furnishing light and power

do not consider it fair to interfere with
the business of the several concerns
who have established themselves to do

however, that these several concerns
are ready to wire houses at one dollar

We would suggest that all those who
want wiring done apply to any of the
