MOST EXPENSIVE OF ALL.
In Proportion to Its Size the United States
Army Costs More Than ANY Other
Body of Soldiers.

Washington, July 20.-In proper
ton to its size the United States mill
itary establishment is the most expen-
sive in the world. According to the
official notes of military interest pre-
pared by Lieut., Col. Simpson it is
shown that the cost of maintaining
one soldier in the American army for
one year is $1,014. The nearest APP
proach to this is Germany with $201,-
while Russia pays less than any 9TH
er government with $155 for each man.
The American army, which IS con-
coded by military authorities to be
the best in the world for its size, cost
114,22O,OOO for 10000 men, while the
military establishments of France
costs little over $1O,O0O,0o0 more,
or $124, 491, 500 for maintaining an
army of 1925, or nearly eight times
as large as that of the United States.
For only $27, O72, 800 more thanzis paid
by the United States Russia main
tains an army nearly ten times larger
than the American establishment, the
number of men being 732, COS, costing
$141, 1892, 1925. For a great deal less
than half it's cost to maintain the
American army Italy has an establish
ment nearly three times as large, and
for little more than half ofFthe ex-
penses of keeping the United States
army in fighting shape Austria has an
establishment more than four times
as large
