THE cost from July II, 1870, to the
18th of the following May. on which
day the treaty of Frankfort was rati
fed. was 1,912, 1000, 900 francs. or about
1885, 100000. this being for war charges
properly so called. This sum works
out at something like s1,560,0OO per
day.
Other Charges Added.
But If the charges for the pro-
visioning of Paris, the support of the
families of soldiers. the maintenance
of the invading armies, contributions
imposed by the enemy, loans, succor
for the victims of the war, repair of
damage done, or other indirect charges,
and the vast indemnity of five mil
liards. with its interest, be added,
the total cost of the war is brought
up to the colossal figure of S1,s73,-
0O0. 900 and to rate of some $500. 900
per day.

not the ordinary military budget, to
have been $675.00O,000.

NEW TROLLEYS PLANNED

Washington the Center of AM
bilious Suburban DeVeI-
opment Projects.

The plan to build a trolley road from
Chevy Chase TO Great Falls as a part of
land development scheme will be in line
with projects executed in other sections
of the territory of Greater Washington.
The necessity of providing such a service
is recognized as an important factor in
any effort to bring farming lands into use
for residential purposes. While the Chevy
Chase-Great Falls project affects land
entirely outside of the District and ex-
tending for many miles into the adjoining
state of Maryland. still the population
that is expected, and is being provided
for. is suburban in character Washing
ton will be it's center. and on that ac-
count there must be easy and rapid
means of communication.
1t Is purposed to bring the new line
down to that of the Capital Traction
Company at Chevy Chase. and there the
passengers can transfer to the cars of the
city line in much the same fashion as is
now done by those using the Kensington
road. 1t is possible a transfer arrange
ment can be made similar to that made
by the Great Falls and Old Dominion
line, which runs into Georgetown from

The principal complaint that have had to make

people went astray through this agency. AS stated
before. | hope this will be remedied in a large part
through the act of 1911 but if the managemens wish

RETRIAL FOR

Errors Court ReverSeS De.
cision in Adjutant-Gen-
eral Case.
Especial to the Newark stanI

TRENTON, Nov. 21.-The Court of
Errors and Appeals today ordered a
new trial in the suit of former Adju-
tant-General R. Heber Breintnall
against Adjutant General Wilbur f.
Sadler, jr,, to oust General Sadler from
inc ore and restore it to General
'BreiAtAasH .s
This is a reversal of the judgment of
the Supreme Court, which affirmed the
non-suit granted by Judge Heisley in
the Circuit Court. The reversal to-
day was by the vote of ten to one,
Chancellor Pitney being the only mem
ber Of the court to vote to affirm the
Supreme Court decision.
The decision today places the suit
just where 1t was at the beginning
General Brelntnall brought action on
the ground that he had been retired
under law which had been declared
unconstitutional and therefore he was
entitled to be reinstated in the Office.
The contention of General Sadler was
that General Breintnall had voluntarily
resigned from office and therefore the
retirement law did not apply. 1t was
this issue that was tried in the Essex
Circuit Court. After the evidence had
been presented Judge Heisley ordered
the non-suit, giving the victory to
General Sadler.
The Court of Errors, in the opinion
written by Justice Garrison, decided
that it was error for the trial court
to take from the jury the question
whether General Breintnall retired
upon his own application, so that his
retirement was voluntary.
