NikoIa Tesla Takes Issue With Other
Stat stcians and Puts Total Cost
at the Enormous Figure
Named Above.

New York.-Taking issue with 9TH
er statisticians more moderate in their
estimates, Nikola Tesla, the famous
inventor of electrical contrivances,
said that the total cost of the general
war now going on probably will not
be less than seventy billion dollars.
The present war may easily involve
100000 combatants,' said Mr.. Tes-
la. Il have seen an estimate of a to-
tai cost of $50,000,0OO day. This is
too low. The number of those disabled
through wounds and disease was re-
Gently placed at 100000. This, also,
is too moderate. 1t would be less than
two and one-half per cent, and it must
be remembered that in the most re-
cent great war preceding this, the
Balkan struggle, the casualties were
ten times greater, or 25 per cent.
observe that it is reported Belgium
lost $300,000,000 in two weeks fighting
while there were no large cities in the
path of the Germans.
The difficulty with most statisti-
clans of war losses is that they sim
ply consider the cost of military oper-
ations. This is a small fraction of the
whole waste.

merely by statistical standards is alb

BOOST j. s. SCHOOLS
To Tell Foreign Student of Edu-
cational Advantages Here.
Dr.. ?. ?. Claxton, Commissioner of
Education, Authorizes Preparation
and Publication OF Bulletins
Giving Details.

hington.-Convinced that one OF
the results Of the present European
war will be to interest foreign stu
dents IN opportunities for education in
the United States, DR.. P. P. Claxton,
United States commissioner Of educa-
ton, has authorized the immediate
preparation and publication Of spe-
cial bulletin describing, for the use OF
foreign students, the facilities for pro-
fessional and collegiate study in high
er institutions Of learning in this coun-
try. The bulletin will be printed in
several languages.
This IS Americas opportunity" de-
clares Commissioner Claxton. Thou
sands Of students who have been at
tending universities in Europe will be
obliged to look elsewhere for higher
education, not only this year, but per-
haps for years to come. Many foreign
students are already coming to US,
many more will come as the result, di
rect and indirect, of present events.
We have now supreme opportu-
nifty TO demonstrate our capacity for
intellectual leadership. Whether the
war continues three months or three
years, our opportunities and obliga.
lions to take the lead in education
and civilization will be the same, and
America should respond by offering
the best opportunity in the world for
her own students and for those who
may come from other countries.
In the case of South America this
student migration will be facilitated
by the Opportune opening of the Pan
ANA canal. Students from the western
coast of South America will find it al
luringly convenient to go via the canal
TO educational centers in the United
States.
Within the last two decades the
increase in opportunity for graduate
study and research, and for profession
al and technical education has been
very remarkable, much greater than
most people even in America realize.
The recent raising of standards and
the better equipment of medical
schools, the large endowments and ap-
preparations for all forms of engineer
ing, the marvellous growth of our col
leges Of agriculture, the development
of colleges and schools of education,
and the rapid increase in income of
all the better colleges make it pos
sible for this country to take the LEAD
in education in a way that would have
been impossible even at the beginning
of the century,

European Harvest.

The american tourists were equal n
value to a good harvest and this year
there will be loss to Europe. If the
war continues into the season next
year this loss will be serious, from a
European point of view. 1t is estimat-
&c that the tourists spend a thousand
dollars apiece in their tour. Some go
cheaper, others spend more. This year
there were 10000 in round numbers
accounted for, and they probably spent
more than the average, certainly If
their losses on baggage and extortion-
ate discount of travellers checks are
counted in, for there is a stack of
trunks, suit cases and satchels at Co.
logne piled ten feet high around the
cathedral, all belonging to Americans.
Over 100000 pieces of baggage had to
be abandoned.in flight. If the war cuts
out the touring season next year it
should save at least $120,000,000 for
home consumption. Americans will
have chance to see their own coun-
try. If there were small hotels with
fare as good and prices as reasona-
bic as are provided in Europe there
would be many more tourists in this
country at all seasons.

DEAD" OBJECTS TO SPEED
"The Idea of Being Hurried Along"
Gave Woman a Most Creepy
Feeling"

Waterbury, Conn.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Tanner, fifty-eight, while being re-
moved from the room where she died"
in an undertaker's transportation case
shocked the attendants the other day
with yell Of protest against the rough
manner in which they were handling
her body, and directed them, by no
means mildly, to be more careful.
She had been supposed to be dead
about two hours and was about to be
carried to an operating table to be
embalmed.
Mrs. Tanner had been all her life
somewhat resigned to dying when
her time came" she said when she re-
covered, but didn't want to be killed
or to commit suicide.
why, the very idea of being hur-
ried along so would be amusing if it
didn't give you such creepy feeling
she added when told all that had hap
pened.
