COST OF BRITISH WARS.
How England Has spent Two BIZ
lions In Fifty Years.

The cost Of the Boer war. as said in 4
recent letter. now reaches $40, 100000.
and the statistics show that since 100
England has spent $4,000. .oOo, 600 for mill
! tary purposes Almost necessarily for
two centuries has this nation been en-
gagged in lighting other European powers
or against barbarous and seni-eivilized
nations. The first of the wars in the
eighteenth century was against tina
French. with Holland. Prussia. Hanover
and Portugal az allies. 1t eliminated in
the treaty Of Utrecht in 1113, after an
expenditure of s9OO.OOo.Ooe. The war
against the Canadian colonies which wers
favorable to the French followed at a
cost of $500 O00, ,00e. and then came the at

the War Of the Revolution. which. accord

cost s600. coo. 900.
In the closing years OF the eighteenth
century rnd the early years Of the nine
teenth. England was engaged IN continu-
Gus strife. but never single handed. Her
first alliance was with Russia. Prussia.
Italy. Portugal and the German States as
allies against France. The next alliance
included combination Of nearly all the
European countries agairst Napoleon.
While these wars were in progress tho
English army and navy were also engaged
against the United States in 1St2. and
there was n continuous conflict in India
from 1925 to 1915. until the expenditures
for war and naval l1rposes up to that
date increased the public debt to s4.9e0,-
$1,000.
A quarter Of century later came The
Crimean war. In which England was en-
gagged against Russia. with France. Tur-
key. and Sardinia as Its allies The OIL
cial figures give the cost OF the Crimeaa
war as S35o.O0o,0e0. Since 1850 there has
always been an army in Africa and Asia;
constant uprisings in India. conflicts with
China and other Asiatic nations; and at
one time or another military expeditions
against nearly every native Government
on both those great continents. which
cost not less than 81 ooo. zoe 900 during the
last half OF the nineteenth century.
