Tremendous Cost of War Illustrated by
the Battle of Verdun.
If the estimate of 100000 shells is
approximately the number fired in the
great Verdun battle the financial out
lay to the contending armies for artil-
lery ammunition alone has been al
least S20,0O0.O0O to S24OOO,OOO.
This estimate of army ordnance ex-
perts is based on the theory that the
bulk of the fighting has been done
with 10 centimeter field guns In
asmuch as the Germans have made use
of considerable number of LARGE field
pieces and siege guns. the cost in artil-
lery ammunition probably has been
considerably more than S24G00.00O.
As the caliber of a gun increases the
cost per round multiplies rapidly. The
huge German guns which demolished
the I.iese fortifications and shelled
Dunkirk from distance of twenty
miles or more hurl proiectiles that cost
many hundreds of dollars. the exact
figures not being known.
In addition to the enormous cost of

sumed the outlay for hospital service
