COST OF AMERICAN ARMY.
Military Establishment lis Most
Expensive fR World.

In proportion to its size the Unit
ed States military establishment is
the most expensive in the world Ac-
cording to the official notes of mill
tary interest prepared by Lieut. Col
Simpson it is shown that the cost of
maintaining one soldier in the Amer
lean army for one year is S1,o14. The
nearest approach to this is Germany
with s2O1, while Russia pays less than
any other government with s155 for
each man
A comparative statement Is made
which shows the effectiveness of the
different armies. the cost of main
tanning them for year, and the cost
of one soldier for the same period.
