WHAT PEACE IS COSTING.
Otis Allen Shows Great Expense of
Armies and Navies.

In a paper read before the last meet
ing of the Jayhawker club. Otis Allen
discussed the subject THE Interna =
tional Peace Movement -. In the course
of his address Mr.. Allen made the fol-
lowing comparisons:
THE cost of maintaining the armies
and navies of Japan, Great Britain and
Germany is more than the values of
their wheat crops
THE cost of maintaining the armies;
and naVies of Europe is more than the
net receipts from all of their railroads,
net receipts from which are $780, 000. 900
per year.
THE cost of maintaining the armies
and naNieS of Europe Japan and the
United States is more than it costs
to operate all of the railroads of the
United States. half the railroad mile

Seventy lone per cent of the revenue
of the United States government was
used in 1909 for wars we have had and
wars we are preparing for.

ted states $3.50 to maintain the army
and navy in 1909.

the next year with the same amount

to escape the big brick piles, the ex-
cavatiOns and the mud.

also been placed in bad light. Brick
piles have tumbled and half built up

the people have taken the bricks and
made temporary sidewalks for use.
