was slowly and surely wearing out the

disintegration was rapid.
The same result must take place

other must become so weakened that

Asked about the financial situation
of the United States at the time of
the civil war as compared with the po-
sition of the allies today, Col Hopkins
said:
The United States was in more
desperate financial condition then than
the allied powers are today. Paper
currency deprecated in value to such
an extent that the premium on gold
in 1864 reached the mark of $50 or
higher. The cost of living doubled.
The government borrowed enormous
sums. giving as an inducement high
rates of interest. The Treasury Of

Casualties in Civil War. :

Col Hopkins does not agree with the
cotemporaneous historians who have
declared from time to time that more
men are being killed in Europe than in
any war in the history of the world.
He said to the writer:
TT is, in fact. generally believed that
the casualties in this war are greater
than ever before known, but doubt ~
this be so, taking into consideration
the numbers engaged. As modern
weapons become more deadly. the sci
ence of protecting the soldier from
such weapons becomes more exact
When the history of the European war
Is written I do not think the per-
centage of killed and wounded, ac-
cording to numbers engaged, will be
found greater than during the civil
war"
Returning to the question of con-
scription, with which England is now
struggling, Col. Hopkins said:
we friends of the allies here in the
United States are disposed to criticise
not respond to appeals for enlistment,
as we think the citizens of every coun-
try should when the national existence
Is at stake. But in every country there
IS certain percentage among the in
habitants who are without patriotism,
number who are opposed to everything 8
that is proposed. During the first two
years of the civil war there was an
oVerplus of volunteers. But in the end
we had to have conscription In the
United States, and / think we may as
well be charitable in our criticism of
England's slowness to respond to the
second or third call to arms. 1t is but
a repetition of what occurred here in
1S61-1S65."

Worse During Civil War.

Perhaps there is a greater feeling
of depression in England now than at
any time since the war began, but we
had much worse conditions in the
United States at the time Of the civil
war. The average citizen of today, who
has not made a study of the civil war,
! knows little of the. hopes and fears
that wrung the hearts Of the patriotic
men and women of the north during
those four long years. He is apt to
speak, If he speaks at all, with pride
concerning the universal response to
the call to arms in 1861. and he is like
| ly to picture to himself a united north,
marching out under the Stars and
Stripes to the roll of the stirring drums
and the trumpet that sings of fame
But the day eventually came when
almost all of the patriotic men were
in the army. and the government, on
