THE COST OF MODERN
WARFARE is VERY HIGH

Vienna, Austria.-Nations must
count the cost when they go to war
these days. In the debate on a new
war loan to cover the cost of the
preparations for trouble following the
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegov-
mis-, Field Marshal Won Georgia de-
clared the amount asked for s40,-
100000 was trifling as compared with
the cost of actual warfare.
He then proceeded to give an inter
esting calcuation as to what the cost
of future campaign would mean
for Austria-Hungary. The daily ex-
pense of each soldier, judging from
previous experience, and allowing for
the natural rise in prices might be
calculated at about les, not including
pensions for disabled men and wild
ows and orphans, the outlay for re-
placing weapons, uniforms and war
material, and compensation for other
losses sustained. Reckoning upon a
basis of 100000 armed men. the
daily expenses would reach $4,000, 900
and a campaign lasting six months
would mean about 5000, 900, 900.

SOCIETY TAKES UP
AVIATION AS A FAD

London.-There seems to be small
doubt that the next "craze" of So
ciety will be aviation, and already
several well-known people have or
dered flying machines of one de-
scrlption or another Among these is
the duke of Westminster, who was
one Of the first in this country to
purchase a Wright biplane. The
duke is taking up the science of avi-
alton seriously and hopes to accom-
plish some notable flights before long.
Despite the efforts that have been
made at the Blooklands rack and
elsewhere to become the center of
British aviation, 1t is probable that
society will select the Royal Aero club
track at Shellbeach as the home Of
its new sport.
Flying is likewise attracting the
attention Of a good many society ladies

Corpse Found on S. p. Tracks.

Eugene, Ore.-The badly mangled
body of a young man was found on
the Southern Pacific track at Irving,
six miles north of Eugene Wednes-
day morning by section foreman.
The man had evidently been riding
on the brakes of the night trains and
had fallen under the wheels. The
head was severed from the body and
the body was mangled.
Coroner Gordon found a bundle of
post cards addressed to Ed Beerman,
at San Francisco and other California
points. Most Of them were signed
"Leta," and were from Beardstown,
ILL.,. while several others were from
Jessie Parry at Astoria, Ill.
The dead man was fairly we'll dress

ENGLISH PRICES HIGHER.
Beef and Bacon and Staple Meats Ad.
vance i'm Price

London.-England is feeling the
pinch of the high prices of food as
well as America. Bacon and beef,
the great English food staples, have
jumped from to 6 cents a pound:
mutton, cheese and butter are going
up, too. In fact the British house,
wife finds everything on ner bill OF
fare kiting skyward and a wall of
protest Is being raised from Lands
End to John o. Groats.
In the minds of many the idea pre-
walls that the bad Americans are re-
sponsible in large part If not alto
gether for this condition, although
the more sensible recognize the fact
that England is simply feeling a
worldwide movement toward higher
prices. One authority said:
The Introduction of cold storage,
which has enabled the great trusts to
store thousands of tons of perishable
commodities for practically indefinite
periods, and to hold them over so as
to 'stiffen' prices has been advanced
as one reason. And it may have some
thing to do with it.
But the main cause is that the
world is fast filling up. America, for
instance. sends us less and less beef,
butter and cheese every year. Her
constantly increasing population needs
all 1t can grow and make for its own
use. Twenty years ago the prairies
of the middle west were merely gil
gantic grazing farms for cattle. Now
they are covered with small home
steads, with the result that while To-
cal production has been lessened, To-
cal demand has been increased.
And we, here in Great Britain. are
feeling the pinch, and are likely to
feel it."
