WHEN one tries to think over the loss
in life and the cost of the war IN
Europe, ne is lost in amazement. The
figures are almost beyond the grasp of
human mind. For instance, when we
read, that to date the war bills actu-
ally paid have averaged 81, 900, 600, 600
a month";" and that for five months,
and that they are mounting up at a
rate of $4,000, 600 an hour day and
night, Sundays and holidays, the mind
is almost paralyzed. If tins is the be-
ginning, what will the end be? Can
you comprehend the immensely of these
figures?
