ECONOMIC WASTE OF
WAR IN TABULAT|ON
TWO AND A HALF BILLIONS REP.
RESENTS LOSS IN HU-
MAN LIFE

tHy Associated Press,b
LONDON, Feb. 20.-Reckoning each
man as wealth-producing force
equal to mere $4,000 In capital, the
economic waste of human life in the
present European war on the basis
of million dead and permanently
incapacitated has already cost Europe
$500, 100000, according to F. w.
Hlrst, well known financier.
Addressing the Sheffield bankers
on the political economy of war, he
also said in the first three months Of
this war, Britain had actually spent
more than in her entire three years
campaign in Crimea, or two and a
half years in the Boer war.
