Predictions.
one Of the mysteries of the world
is where money comes from in
emergencies like that created by the
European war. Jacob H. Schff, one
of the greatest authorities on finance
announced in an interview ltst August
that there would be no war because
there was not enough money in the
world to fight il on the scale contem-
plated. His theory was that France
and Germany, or any other two ma
tons, might fight, and the resources
would prove adequate, but that a
world war, such as was then threat
oned, could nat be financed. and so
would not conn to pass.
From that day to this. shrewd and
discriminating observers in long line
have arrived from observation points
of special vantage to tell us that the
war would he over by New Years,
or by the ides Of March, or by the

81 ,060, 889, sos TRADE BALANCE
IN FAVOR OF UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON July 27.-An in
crease of nearly $293, 100000 in the ex-
port trade and a decrease of $22O,000,-
600 in imports is shown by the analy-
sis of the United States foreign trade
for the eleven months covering the
European war issued by the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce.
The trade balance In favor of the
United States is estimated at $1,000
S89,5O5.
The analysis shows an enormous in
crease in exports of crude foodstuffs
and food animals, the total exporta-
lions amounting to $481, 110,3S4, as
against $126,408,965 for the same
period last year. Crude materials for
use in manufacturing fell off nearly
$300,000,0O0 in exports, owing to the
closing of European factories which
use American raw materials.
Exports to France more than dou-
bled, to Italy they nearly tripled, and
to Great Britain they increased by
nearly $3OO,OOO,OOO.
The export trade to Germany fell
from $328,115, 43O to $2S,S61, 5S7, and to
Austria from $21,280,O37 to $1,24O,167.
During May less than 100000 worth
of merchandise went to Germany.

STAGGERING COST OF WAR
IN EUROPE IS SHOWN
$70,000,00O PER DAY is CLAIM OF
PRESENT EXPENSE
First Six Months Cost Europe in Ac-
tual Cash $500, 0o0, 900, With De-
struction to Property Esti-
mated at ST. 900 100000

WASHINGTON, July 27.-This war
began, according to Professor Ricketts,
calculation, at a cost of $4,000, 900 per
day.
Richet's calculation in 1912 was an
underestimate as to expenses on the
sea and in the air. These. with the
growing scarcity of bread and shrap-
mel, the equipment of automobiles, and
the unparalleled ruin of cities, have
raised this cost to $70,00O,00O per day
This again takes no count of the
waste of men and horses, less costly
than the other material of war and
not necessarily to be replaced. All
this is piled on top of "the endless
caravan of ciphers" ($27,0O0, 900 OO0)
which represented the accumulated
and unpaid war debt of the nineteenth
century
Yves Guyot, the French economist,
estimates that the first six months of
war cost western Europe, in cash,
$1,000, 100000, to which should be add
ed further destruction estimated at
$11,600,000, 1000, making total of $17,-
000,G00,000 Edgar Crammond of Lon
don, another high authority, estimates
the cash cost of a year of war, to Aug.
1, 1915, at $17,0OO,O 100000, while other
losses will mount up to make a grand
total of $46,OO0,0O0, 900. 1Crammond es-
Inmates that the cost to Great Britain
for year of war will reach $780,
100000. This sum is about equivalent
to the accumulated war debt of Great
Britain for a hundred years before the
war. The war debt of Germany Tin
Guiding PrussiaD and also that of Aus
tria before the war was about the
same.
No one can have any conception of
what $46,0O0,0 100000 may be. 1t is four
times all the coin in the world. If
this sum were measured out in $40
gold pieces and they were placed side
by side on the railway track, on each
rail, they would line with gold every
line from New York to the Pacific
ocean, the two Canadian lines includ-
ed. There would be enough left to
cover each rail of the Siberian railway
from Vladivostok to Petrograd. There
would still remain sufficient to reha-
bilitate Belgium and to buy the whole
of Turkey at her own valuation, wip-
ing her finally from the map.
The cost of this war would pay the
national debts of all the nations in the
world at the time the war broke out,
and this aggregate sum of $45 ,O00,
900 for the world was all accumulated
in the criminal stupidity of the wars
of the nineteenth century. If all the
farms, farming lands and factories of
the United States were wiped out of
existence, the cost of this war would
more than replace them. If all the
personal and real property of half our
nation were destroyed or if an earth
quake of incredible dimensions should
shake down every house from the At
lantic to the Pacific, the waste would
be less than that involved in this war.
And an elemental catastrophe leaves
behind it no costly legacy of hate.

income TAX RECEIPTS GAIN
sS,5OO,0OO IN PAST YEAR
GOVERNMENT RECEIVES SIS, 300, 900
FROM NEW TARIFF LAW
Falling Off in Corporation Taxes At
tributed to Absence of Salary Re-
auctions Year Was Admit
teddy Bad for Business

WASHINGTON, July 27.-An in
crease of $8,500,000 in corporation and
individual income tax receipts for the
fiscal year ending June 80 is indicated
by the early computations of those re-
ceipts for the various internal revenue
districts of the country.
Early returns show that the govern
ment this year received approx
mately $78,S00,OOO from the income tax
feature of the Underwood-Simm
tariff law, as against $71,381,273 last
year. There was a falling off in cor
poration taxes and an increase in indi-
vidual income tax payments.
Treasury officials are inclined to be-
lieve that the increase in income taxes
and the falling off in corporation taxes
can be laid to the fact that corpora
lions throughout the country earnestly
endeavored to operate without whole
sale reductions in salary, and pre-
ferred to stand their losses to forcing
their employees to stand reductions in
pay.
The year was an admittedly bad one
in business circles, and for a time it
was feared that the corporation taxes
would fall below $30,000,000 and that
the individual income taxes might not
rise much higher than that amount.
Final payment on the largest inner
itance tax ever paid in Alameda coun-
ty was made when the executors of
the Flora B. McDermott estate paid
in to the county treasurer $15,868 as
the last installment on the $72,755 tax
levied on the estate. In order to take
advantage of a per cent discount,
$56,669 of the tax was paid last April

had burned 5000 acres of pasture and
foothill land. This fire has an open
road to the timber lands, and unless
