I'm a BIT OF Yankee myself" re-
piled Hillisrd, "and I'll answer the

Whereupon Bennett fell back on his

A well-dressed young woman stepped
off the elevator in one of the depart

way toward the millinery department.
From the manner in which the floor

II we accept Professor Atkinson's
estimate that the Civil war cost So

more than 100000. 100000 in depreciat.
ed currency even five years after the

struggle between the states cost be-
tween one-fourth and one-half OF their
then existing wealth
All calculations as to what wars
cost are subject to grievous and even
monumental errors, Albert w. Atwood
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
But this much we know: The north
raised nearly s4.OO0.O00,O0O in loans
and the south raised 100000, 1000.

for war purposes by the two opposing
sections.
IL the north and south In conflict
could spend s6,OOO.000, 900 on war half
a century ago, what could the united
country assemble for such a purpose
today. with ten times the wealth? This
country has a puny. negligible ma
tional debt. The European countries
were enormously-al almost ruinously-
in debt before they began their war,
some OF them with ten to fifteen times
as much debt per capita as the United
States. Yet they have already fioated
3O.OOO.OO0.000 Of bonds. and the end
is nowhere in sight. -t
The total aggregate wealth of all
