livered by a famous speaker in

was then agitated, and this noted
French speaker drew from his
pocket a cross of ivory mounted
on a pedestal of gold and used the
words "Cross of Cold. He CDR.

The premier says it is costing Great Britain 5,000,000 per week to fight the Teutons, not counting indirect loss es, and that six billion dollars, in round numbers, have been spent since the beginning of hostilities.
 France has spent more than five billion, and her daily outgo almost reaches that of Great Britain. In other words, these two countries, exclusive of their several allies, are putting something like thirty-five million dollars daily into the war, with hundreds of millions in in demnities and millions in pensions to pay at the close of the strug- gle, Germany and Austria are spending at least eighty per cent of this amount, perhaps more.

The stupendous expenditure of money necessary to carry on war in Europe increases each week. It staggers ones imagination even to attempt a conception of the won derful organization of government which stands back of the contend ing forces, and though we read with more or less indifference state ments of expense budgets, the mind cannot even partially grasp their real significance. In the British

He shows that Great Britain is be- ing called upon for a daily appro- priation of seventeen and a half million dollars; that the cost incl dent to military operations in-

wonder it becomes necessary for new loans to be floated. And, at the end of the w1r, conditions so far as territoriaL boundaries are concerned, will be pretty much as they now are. Europe will be de- nuded of her male population, there will be several million orphans and million or more widows, an army of blind, thousands and hundreds of thousands of legless and armless individuals attempting to earn their daily bread the asylums will be filled with idiots, and hell gen orally will be to pay.
