Who VIII Pay War Costs--A1so
A Suggestion as toPeace Terms
From The Los Angeles Times.

From the Los Angeles Times.
One obstacle in the way of peace in
Europe-and it is an obstacle that
grows larger every day-is the enor-
nous and continuing cost of hostilities.
and the question of who at the end
shall pay the bills. and how they shall
be paid? The fight has ceased to be a
contest for balance of owe and Is AL
most as much u. fight for mere money
as n between two pugilists for the
box office receipts.
The cost of hostilities, aside from the
value OF property destroyed on land
and sea. is about STA. 600. 900 per day.
III the war We're to cease tomorrow ii
would cost the combatAnts to this date
about $4,000. 00O. 900. and it is the esti-
mate OF Prof. Bushnell Hart that there
Is no likelihood that the war will stop
before 10000 ,00O. 900 nave gone into
the amount equivalent to
30 per cent of the national indebted
ness last July of France. Russia and
Great Britain combined. double the ma
tional Indebtedness of Germany at that
date. and three times that of AUSTRIA
Hungary.
1T Is probable that the victorious
parties to the contest will demand a
war indemnity from the losers of ut
least 50. OOO, 000. 600. The collection of
such Il sum from the allies would EN-
barrass If it did not BANKRUPT them.

ing Germany and Austria Hungary as
nations. for, while the farms. buildings.
mines. cities. railroads. wharves and
factories of the country would remain.
STOCKS OF goods. raw materials and
cash would be gone. and the credit
OF the nation YOU be at a Very low
ebb.
The power that is forced to pay "A
war indemnity will necessarily be COM
pelieo either to surrender territory. or
TO borrow the n During the last
half century of wars says Albert
Bushnell Hart. there was always some
neutral power which had ash for the
contestants. Japan and Russia were
nghting each other in 1905 with money
derived from French and English cap
italists. OF whom shall the contesting
European countries borrow now? The
only neutral which has large sums to
lend is the United States The capt.
talists of III United States have no
desire to invest in suppor of the war.
II indeed such Investment would not
De an unneutral act. Nor is it likely
that there would be any desire to in
vest in aiding to pay indemnities to a
%onqueror The only esource of the
European powers Is their own people.
and 1t must be said that all the com
batants have thus far shown splendid
pluck in contributing to wal loans.
The Germans have resorted to their
savings bank accounts. the French
nave emptied their stockings, and the
British war pans were taken at once,
not merely by capitalists. but by the
people at large.

High Cos. of Delivery.

A st. Pau grocer. influenced by the
Housewives leagues campaign for a low
cred cost of living, has decided to discon-
tinue delivery service on small packages.
voices his reasons for SO doing as follows:
w find that to satisfy the almost
hourly demand OF our customers a de-
livery system must be maintained at enor-
nous expense. This expense must neces-
sarily be added to the first cost of mer-
thirds who do their, W marketing are
paying the same ratio of expense al the
one-third who do not. This expense we
have decided to eliminate and divide the
saving with our patrons. The considerate
and frugal housewife h does her own
marketing and pays cash should be IA
charge customer who seldom IL ever visits
the market. and who. by her exorbitant
demands. forces upon you this large ex-
pense, is the one who received most con-
sideration from the merchant. This we
feel is not fair to the housewife who pays
cash and Is trying to reduce the cost Of
who knows. by actual seeing and testing
before she buys: that she is buying to the
! best advantage"
BY cutting out unnecessary delivery the
firm finds that 1t can make a 5 per cent
discount on all staple articles. including
is said to be only is per cent profit. Tho
grocer calculates that q saving OF 1000 a
month to his patrons is made possible nv
this curtailment of delivery. Delivery Of
goods Is a convenience which II would
be unwise to abolish altogether. but It is
directly served should pay. Much de-
liverinG'' 10 without question unnecessary
and might be curtailed with beneft ia
dealer and consumer alike.

runs. but instead. that the visitors
sounded like a machine battery in action,
but siege guns were what the articles OF
war called for and our lads had the long
lies?
Truly. all devout fans wait on the
words OF that versatile juggler of the

about the great American game-the

All I. Wall

Whate'er you dream with doubt p~ossest.
Keep: keep 1t snug within your breast.
And lay you down and take your rest:
Forget in sleep the doubt and pain.
And when you wake. to work again.
The wind 1t blows. the vessel goes.
And where and whittier. no one knows.
Twill all be well: No need of care:
Though how 1t will and when and where.
We can not see, and cam declare.
In spite OF dreams. in spite of thought.
Ills not In. vain, and not for nought,
The vim IL blows, the ship 1t goes,
Enough where AMI whittier. no one knows.

BY Whittier.

Human life Is the same every
whore. II we could but get at the
truth. we should find that all the
tragedy and comedy of Shakespeare

tatiOns may differ. but the essential
elements and springs of action are
the same.

Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage-if necessary to pro- tect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again. Sample free, DeptJ 2s-R, Resinol, Baltimore, Md.
