THE moMENTous WEALTH
DESTRUCTION.

Staggering TO humanity as has been
the loss Of life the first year OF the
great war. the loss in wealth or
wealth production is such as TO make
il OF further mighty moment in rela.
ton to human well being.
II Is computed by the National City
Bank OF New York that the FIVE great
Nations in the war from the star,
nave doubled their nonproductiye
debt or increased 1t by sl5.5O0. OO0..
600. This money has not all been
spent. but special war taxes have been
levied and spent which will equal the
unexpended debt portion. Thus the
money cost OF the war In the first year
to the five Nations is fully $4,000.
100000. or some 100000 a day.
and the daily cost steadily Increases.
The estimated wealth OF these Ave
Nations was s2s0.0oO. 900, 900. That
was what they had to show from the
toll and care and self-denisl OF cen.
turtles. and In spite of the distinctions
OF all the wars OF those centuries. The
money cost Of one year OF this war IL
equal to more than 5 per cent Of that
accumulation OF the ages. Another
year would send the percentage up to
near 10. II would be as II within two
years these civilized humans had de.
liberately destroyed a seventh OF the
permanent property fruits OF almost
twenty centuries of Christian civil.
zation.
This Is not all. The cost we are
discussing is cost 10 present and
future wealth production for purposes
OF destruction. II measures IN no
actual destruction OF accumulated
wealth. II is a destrution Of power
In further wealth production. There
remain to be added the billions OF
actual wealth destroyed and to be de.
stroyed in Belgium and Northern
France and Poland and on the seas
and wherever else the conflict has
ragged and is to rage.
What is this total wealth and power
in wealth production which is being
destroyed win II fall far short OF

A German submarine has torpedoed
and sunk another large British liner
bound from England to New York.
There were a number Of Americans
on board. but whether or not any OF
them persisted is not known. Even II
they did not. II is no fault OF the sub
marine. as no warning was given and
the ship went down in eleven minutes
after the torpedo struck. The act
was in direct violation OF the rules
laid down by the United States and
which President Wilson said would
be considered as an "unfriendly act"
This latest outrage may cause serious

De OF GOOD CHEER.

There was not loss OF life or
serious personal injury in all Brazos
County from the storm. and for this
let us be thankful.
Our losses in towns and villages are
but small, and this Is another reason
Why we should give thanks.
The blessed sunshine has been sent
by that same hand that rules the
storms. the tides and the seas. our
corn will be dried out and saved from
rotting in the field. and for this our
thanks are due.
The loss to the cotton is heavy, but
doubtless not as much as we now
think. The rains may give US top
crop that win be greater than the loss
by storm, and this is something to be
hopeful for and thankful for.
The sweet potato crop will be
greatly benefited by the rain. fall gar
dens are made possible, grass has
been rerived and winter pasturage
provided for the stock.
We are not hurt. Let US press on
faltering In nothing.
Let US rejoice with great Joy ant
be exceeding glad. for the Lord Il
mindful OF his own.
