Savings In United

WASHINGTON-One effect of IT,
European war has been to incIe 6,
savings in tie United States.
More than 100000 people have
been added to the lists of depositors
during the war period, the total de
posits having increased at the rate
OF nearly 100000 a month.
During the six months from July
1 to January /, $15,750,000,or an
increase OF So per cent was added
to the aggregate savings in the Gov
ernment's keeping. The European
war more than doubled the rate of
increase.
When Europe's paralyzing con-
flict broke out, thousands OF strange
faces appeared at postoffices to en-
trust their furnished savings to I'm
Gle Sam. Hence the August figures
showed net gain in deposits OF
four millions. November and Deem

these months nevertheless show
more than twice the normal receipts

if the meaning is that young men

COST OF WAR
EACH WEEK IS
$280,O0O,OOO
EXPENSES OF THE CONFLICT
TOTAL SEVEN BILLION IN
SIX MONTHS.

| For the first six months, the Euro
pean war has cost S280,000 600 a
week, or seven billion dollars for
the six months. Great Britain began
with an expenditure of 100000 a
day, but is now spending $1,000, 900
day; and its expenses are increas-
ing In six months the German
Empire and the individual German
states have doubled the debt that
had been piled up by them in t e
previous fifty years.
In a very instructive article in the
Philadelphia Ledger, Roger W.
Babson, who gives the foregoing
figures, says that the first few weeks
of the war cost Germany about
$500, 600 a day, but that the expense
had decreased to about $5,000,000 two
months ago. Considering the cost of
the war from the point of view of
the great sums borrowed during the
last six months, Babson says that
Germany first startled us by issuing
loan of $1,167000, 600. A couple Of
months later England issued loan
of S1,750 100000. France then began
to borrow on the installment plan.
The Government first went to the
Bank Of France and borrowed $3.50 :
600 600, and to the Bank of Algeria
and borrowed s20,O0O000, making
5000 100000 in all This, however,
proved insufficient for the first ex-
penses of the campaign, and in
September the Government had in
creased its loans to $780, 900 GOO,
KEEP BORROWING.
Many believed that would be the
end of borrowing, at least for a
while says Babson, but in the early
part of December Germany issued
second war loan of $3.50, 900 ,000.
I'm order that readers may realize
what this means let me state that
at the beginning of the war the
German empire had debt of less
] imam 91,OUO,OOu,uuO, anu tudl Oil Tue
German states had combined debts
of only about $1,000 600 900, making
total national Indebtedness of
only about s4,0Oo;000, 900, which
amount the German empire and the
individual states had been half a
century in accommodating. Yet the
first six months of the war has add
ed s2417 900 900 to this former in
debtedness. This means that in the
last six months both England and
Germany have added so per cent to
the indebtedness which they had
been half century in accumulat-
ing"
To these huge figures must be
added the Italian loan of 100000
900, the Dutch loan Of $4,000 900
the Canadian loan Of 100000 900,
the various Russian loans and the
loans of the Swiss. Norwegian and
other neutral nations. Our own coun.
try has not issued war loan but
we have put out a war tax, which
amounts to the same thing.
