THE COST OF THE WAR.

At the end of the first year of the
war, peace societies nave been taking
stock, says Farm Life. Announcement
is sent out that so far the nations in
volved have spent a sum just about
equal to the value of all the farm
lands in America. That would be
more than twenty-eight billion dollars.
The figures are uncomfortable, and
they may be exaggerated; but that is
one way in which you can get an idea
of the enormous expense of maintain
ing armies in the field If every farm

A GERMAN ANOMALY.

Another rather remarkable feature
of Germany's submarine warfare
against unarmed and unresisting pas
senger ships is that it was popular
with the people of Germany. They
must have been led by their author
tiles into a belief that such inhuman
warfare was necessary for the saliva
ton of their nation. The Germans
have ever been held in high regard,
and rightly, as generous, kind
hearted people to whom the harming
of innocents would be Inherently re-
pugnant.

EUROPES I'LL WIND.

If the financiers of the allies, who
have arrived in New York to arrange
for a billion dollar loan, have the
right kind of securities in their hip
pockets, they may be able to get the
accommodation. The United States
happens to be the place these
days that has money to burn Still
it is a serious question as to whether
it is advisabl for the people of this
country to enter the business of loan
ing money to the European belliger-
ents on a large scale. OF course, if
the loan is to be made for the ex-
elusive purpose of paying the bills
that Europe owes to Uncle Sans mer-
chants and manufacturers. that's a
little different. proposition. 1t means
that the money wouldn't be taken from
this country, and further that a large
sum would be put in circulation here,
which otherwise probably would not
be- And the more money that's in
circulation in this country, if it is good
money, of course, the better it is for
everybody. If all the money in this
country could be kept moving all or
most of the time many more of our
people would be closer to Easy street.

When the coat is removed at the restaurant, theatre, or church very many of the new blouses give the cos tune the appearance of a one-piece dress. In chiffon models, black em- broidered in silver, brown and blue predominate, as in the suits them selves, while the nets and faces are white, or gold, over flesh-colored chif- fon. These are usually combined with silk or satin
 The upper illustration is one of the very newest blouses of this type, showing the use of satin in a bodice effect under the net. The short sleeves are the flowing style, with the circular cuff, used so much where a dressy effect is desired. Some of the extreme models show low necks, with short sleeves; but like Mrs. Vernon Castle and her monkey, despite predic- tions, few will follow the fad. Blouse styles seek the more natural course. Where the neck is really low the sleeve is short; and with the V-neck and nigh collars, long sleeves are worn.
 Gloves, however, are invariably short, both with the short and long sleeves. Victorian styles are favored, the lace mitt being worn with the very sheerest waists. White kid gloves are also quaint; often they are worn with 8 band of black velvet at the top. AL ready this idea of the black band at the top of the glove is being carried
