on both sides, and to do this, and
fight over the vast territory that re-
qulred to be conquered, demanded
four years of fighting and the ex-
penditure of billions.
England thus enters the present
war situated, so far as concerns her
army, much as the United States
was when our great war opened;
and she will have to pay for her un-
preparedness. But her people show
the same willingness and determina-
tlon that was demonstrated by both
North and South in our own great
conflict. They will do their duty,
and pay the bills.

THE COSTS OF THE WAR

One year Of the war, according te
Mr.. Lloyd-George, chancellor Of the
British exchequer, will cost Britain
So, 800, 100000 That comes near to
the total debt of the United States
at the close of the civil war, which
lasted four years and strained the
resources of this country to the last
point. 1t is more, also, than twice
the total expense of the Boer war
which lasted four years. 1t is two
and one-half times the total annual
expenditures of the United States
Government; and the chancellor
makes plain that he is planning
against the possibilities that there
may be several years of war at
some such rate of expense.
War is more costly to Great Brit
ain then to any other country save
only the United States, because
Britain has everything keyed up to
a higher scale of requirement. It
pays its soldiers and sailors more
it makes much more liberal PROV
sion for support of their dependents;
and, finally, all wages and govern,
mental expenses are organized on
the basis of more liberal scale of
living. Britain confronts the ne
cessity not only of maintaining her
army and navy, but of actually MAX
ing the army on the spur Of the
momentary necessity; which is ter
rifically expensive. Il is exactly the
requirement that would be imposed
on this country should we find our
selves is a great war.
Despite the unprecedented burden
that it imposes, the British Empire
now has about 100000 men under
arms, and the chancellor declares
that another million will be added
in the next few months. Of course,
great majority of these are not
yet at the front. They are in
camps, being trained for service;
being educated as soldiers. 1t is
only less expensive to make an
army than TO fight it.
Gen. Emory Upton. the foremost
authority on military policy that
this country has ever produced, de-
clared that if the nation could have
put $4,000 regular Uroops into the
field at the beginning. instead of
$4,000 three-months volunteers. it
would have crushed out the first
military efforts of the confederacy
at the first Bull Run, and the war
would have ended. Instead, neither
side being equipped with a real
army, it was necessary to build ons

Opposes Smoking On Platforms.

To the Editor of the Mail Bag:
Men standing on the back platform
of street cars to smoke make 1t very
difficult for people to get on and off OF
cars though the body of the car itself
is empty or nearly so. suppose the
men should have some place to smoke,
but the other passengers should not be
inconvenienced by it, The average man
does not ride for a period longer than
twenty minutes. so it seems to me that
if there is no other remedy, the men
could do without that smoke while on
the car. A PASSENGER
