WAR COSTING 2
 MILLIONS HOUR.
 AND INCREASING
Cost of First Year to Bellig- erents Has Been 161a
 Billions.

Tae first year oi tha war has cost th6 bcllgcrent governments about s16,5oo.ooo oo0 in diroco expenditures for milit3ry purposes. Experts agrs e fairly well on these figures The Berlin VorWa rts finds the total $1G,- G7G130,o0o; the French economist Edmond Thcry $17,40Noo0,000; and the statistician William Mchaalis of Berlin $1J,240 100000.
 This is the expense of putting about 5000 GOO mon into the field Tor tho central powers, an1 about 13,000,- GOO for the allies.
 It docs not include, however, the far greater amount lost through the destruction of towns and villages, the raging of tAe countryside, the wreck ing of bridges and railroads and the wholesale sinking of ships, and the econcmc loss through the diminution in productive industry, the killing of the strongest men in the community and the creation of class of crip- pies and madmen
 The war is now costing about $45,- 000,00O day. $2,O00,000 an hour ana $30 ,0O0 a minute. The cost is mount ing steadily.

 Mrs. Becker Promises Sensation.

New York, Aug. 14.-Charles Beck Sr, once d powerful lieutenant of po- lice, IS dead.
 Herman Rosenthal gambler and al- legged "squealer," is dead.
 The four gunmen, Gyp the Bloo,;, Lefty Louie, Dago Frank and Whitey Lewis, are dead.
 But the trail of the serpent leads on and on, into the uttermost high ways and by-ways of vice and craft and perhaps worse things in the Up- per Tenderloin of Manhattan, where little more than three years ago perhaps the most amazing murder in the history of New York was berpe- trated.
 Five men, in the electric chair at Sing Sing, have paid the penalty for the slaughter of Herman Rosenthal <he gambler, but the trail of the ser pent leads onward and upward With all the principals of the melodra- matic tragedy of Longacre square VOW dead, how can the Rosenthal murder lead to further developments perhaps to more Investigations ans additional crimes?
 In several ways, Mrs. Helen Becker | the doughty widow of the executed lieutenant of police, who declares hel Hnshakeable belief that her husband l tne father of her dead child, was in nocent of murder, has sworn beside his oaken3a coffin that she will expose the plot that led to his convlctior and death 'for political reasons" ant Till bring to justice the coterie o men higher up" who sacrificed hin 10 save themselves. -------=.. .- Whitman Knows "Men Higher Up.' l Gov.

GERMAN WAR BREAD"
 RECIPE 146 YEARS OLD

Berlin, Aug. 14.-The ''war bread of which so much has been written in foreign countries, has been known >nd eaten in Germany for 146 years. Proof for this fact is furnished by Prof Herrigl in the last issue of the "Deutsche MedicinisCherft." The scientist relates that during the fam inc of 1769 the government of Baden through the "Karlsruher Woehen- Slatt," gave the following instruc- tions to the public:
 Good bread can be baked from two parts of potatoes and one part of rye flour. The bread will, of course be still better and more nourishing if equal quantities of flour and DO, tatoes are used. Bread consisting of two parts of flour and one part of potatoes can hardly be distinguished from pure rye bread"

 HERD IS INCREASING

 ing 62.

Washington. Aug. 14.-The govern ments herd of buffalo on the Wichita national forest, in Oklahoma, which is also federal game preserve, has been increased by the arrival of ten calves. according to a report received by the forest service from the super visor in charge. The herd, which now comprises sixty-two specimens of the almost extinct bikon, is in good condition, says the Supervisor, and promises to continue increasing at a rapid rate.
 Eight of the calves are females. bringing the number of heifers and COWS up to thirty The bdIls number thirty-two and have been placed by themselves in a pasture which has just been fenced in for them.
 Three years ago the buffalo herd on the Wichita forest was little more than half as large as it is now. It is said that the other game animals Tn the preserve. including the elk and antelope, also are increasing due to the protection afforded, not only against hunters. but against wolves
 wild cats. and other predatory ani- malls, which committed serious dep- relations from the establishment of the presetve in 1905 until measures were taken to stop them. In pro- tecting the game from predatory ani-
 msls, the wardens and forest offi- cers are also promoting the interests of local stockmen, who. graze several thousand head of cattle on certain al-
 loted areas within tho preserve.

NIanton chief counsel for Becker, tht
 names of five of the "mon higher up,
 one member of the present admins
 !ratiOn of the city of New York who are component parts Of the powerful
 system" which New Workers have l devoutly believed since that carly summer morning three years age
 when the tour shots rang out just off Srillianrly lighted Broadway and laid low the "squealing' gambler. II is reasonable to suppose that Governor Whitman, if he has such knowledge which Lawyer Manton takes occasion 1 to deny, will institute some further probe in the Rosenthal case.
 he four informers, "Bald Jack 1 Rose, 'Bridgie" Weber, Harry VallOn >nd Sammy Schepps, who admitted 'hat they put through for Becker the deal whereby the eunmen murdered Rosonthal, are still alive. They are immune from prosecution for their part in the killing by reason of their bar gain with Governor Whitman, then district attorney of New York county, but they are extremely unpopular With the police and with other gam bleTs. At present the quartet make t their business to keep ort of New York state CT at least under cover Shen they are here, but it would not surprise those familiar with the do- ines of tho east side and the great white way to wake up some morning Snd learn from the newspapers that something had happened to Rose, Weber, Vallon and Schepps. The way of the transgressor may be hard, but N is ds bed of roses without thorns compared to the bed of the "squeal or" in New Works underworld.
 Another Chapter Opens.
 Where now is on another feud be- tween the Sixth avenue gamblers and the police department. The proprie- tors of a wide-open resort on that thoroughfare boasted, just as Roson thal boasted. that they had protec- ton. Enraged that such hue and >ry should arise while the execution of Becker brought the whole sord.d story afresh to the public's mind, lieutenant Honest Dan" Costigan Saided the place and arrested the keepers. That has started another TOW among the gamblers and it would not be strange, if, out of the SliX-up should come some fresh reve- 3ations regarding the killing of Ros >nthal and the causes that led up to it.
 M these various ways can tho trail 1 of the serpent be perpetuated and when one looks back over the lurid criminal annals of the Greater City, 1 it should cause no surprise if the l trail of the Becker serpent winds in snd out of the byways contiguous to Broadway ard the east side for a 1 considera ble time to come.

Berlin, August 14.-The Constantin- ople correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung writes:
 "A train of the German Red Cross society. which left Berlin 46 days ago. has just arrived here. Although inc train, which consisted of 32 cars. carried only hospital supplies and food for the war sufferers. it was held up more than five weeks in Roumania. The customs officials ot the Kingdom opened every box and every can of preserves to make sure that no explosives would be smuggled through. When the train finally reached it's destination most of the food was spoiled and many valuable surgical instruments, quantities of clothing, etc.. had been stolen"

After few months, the name was changed to the Hotel .!iller and the place rc-Opencd, but it's new career was shOrt-lved. "A rose py any other namc will smell as sweet" and by the same token, a murder hotel is still a murder hotel, no matter how many times it's name may be changed. For about two years inc old Metropole has been closed up.
 Next Goor TO the Iotropole was the Hotel Cadillac. one of the most pop ular Broadway hotels, much fre- 1uented by theatrical folk In tnc course of the long investigation. into he ROsenthal shooting the name of the Cadillac was mentioned many times, many witnesses to the slaugh- Yer and the escape of the Hong gray murder car" having been in that ,ho +el. AS a result, the Cadillac lost a great amount of business. About that time the name of the place was changed to the Hotel Wallick The Nal murder caused the change. bat suffice it that the name Cadillac is cow little remembered along Broad ~ay and the Wallick is as popular as ever the Cadillac was.
 Al Fittieth street just off Broad way is the Garden restaurant, now a victorious night resort. Few uptown Nv Workers now know the Garden. At the time of the murder it had just been remodeled and was one of the .lost popular of the lobster palaces, Srequented by after-t theatre parties. But in the Rosenthal investigation, Rose said that the gunmen were pre- pared to "gct" Rosenthal in the Gar den a few nights before the killing, when he was dining there with his 9gife. The slayers were scared off by the sight of Pink" outside the place. Since that revelation, the Garden has been transformed from leading restaurant to cabaret re- sort Datronized mainly by the deni- Zens of the Tenderloin.
