There appears to be great excitement
over the fact that the war in South
Africa has already cost Great Britain
more than s732 900 900. Compared
with the cost of some of the grea;
wars of the last century, however. this
sum is hardly drop in the bucket.
The most costly war of all time was
the civil war of 1s6l-'65 in the United
States. That war cost the northern
states a total OF $500 million dollars.
while the South spent more than 1000
millions in addition. And this does
not consider the enormous expense of
the pensions which have been paid for
the last thirty-fve years.
Next in cost TO the war of the re-
bellion was the Franco-Prussian war
of 1870. 1t cost. in round numbers.
$500 millions OF dollars. The Cri-
mean war stands third on the list Of
comparatively recent wars. with to-
tai cost OF 700 millions.
The little affair in South Africa has
cost the British up to date. less than
one-tenth of what the United States
spent in four years of its great civil
conflict and less than third as much
as France and Germany poured out in
their short struggle.
The present aggregate war debts OF
all the nations of the world are so great
as to entirely pass comprehension.
They sum up more than 30, 900 millions
of dollars. As there are nearly 1.5OO
millions of people in the world 1t will
be seen that II equally divided among
them the worlds war debt would give
an average of s1s apiece for every man.

Even more startling are the figures
which show what war has cost in the
destruction of human life. In this line

Since the United States thus stands
as the great bulwark of independent
national development and equality of
all under the same flag. against the
European idea of colonial dependency
and exploitation, the ruling classes of
Europe have good reason to hate us.
And. while the European masses un-
doubtedly think otherwise, they may
be misled for time into permitting
their rulers to try to give their hate
tangible effect.
That part Of the Spectators warming,
therefore, which counsels us to increase

terrible record is that of the Crimean
war. in which 10000 men lost their
lives. while in the Franco-Prussian
conflict the losses were 225.000. In
these three wars alone enough people
were killed to more than entirely wipe
out the population of Chicago and
leave 1t lonely uninhabited desert.
In addition to those who are recorded
as dying in battle and of disease, there
were other hundreds of thousands who
were MANNED in these wars or who
contracted disease from which they
never fully recovered. And, doubtless,
in thousands OF cases deaths were
caused by the absence from home of
their natural provider while these
great wars were being wagcd. How
much the world lost by losing the serv-
ices of all these millions Of stalwart
men it is entirely impossible even to
estimate.
Writers on the cost of war estimate
also that every war Of any consequence
directly affects practically everybody on
earth, no matter how far distant they
may be from the scene of the con-
fict. Thus during the civil war. for
instance. the cotton mills OF England
were cut off from their supply of raw
material and as a result there was a
cotton famine in Lancashire, which
took on the proportions of a national
calamity. AS direct result of the
civil war 1t has been estimated that

and France were kept out of work
continuously for more than three
years. with much misery and starva-
ton as result.

Germany goes far beyond either Aus

One Of the greatest influences which

their holdings. 1t is believed that
