Fitchburg, Mass, Oct. a0.-SenatoK
Henry c. Lodge of Massachusetts in
a campaign speech here tonight, read
a letter from John Temple Lloyd JET
fries of Boston. The letter follows
Dear Senator Lodge:
81 have noted in Boston papers your
remarks connecting the president
with a postscript to one of the so
called Lusitania notes. According t(
the papers, you state that the effect
of this postscript was to vitiate the
force Of the note, or purposely to in
form the imperial government thai
vigor displayed in earlier parts of the
notes were designed for Anglo Amer
ican consumption only.
According to the press accounts
this postscript was added surrepti
tiously and under star chamber pro
ceedings and was withdrawn only he
cause the few manly members of the
cabinet happened to discover it's ex
istence by luck and naturally threat
ened to turn the government upside
down.
Statements True.
II assure you, sir. deeply regret
being drawn into this affair; but
cannot sit idly by and see you callet
a liar when know your statement!

my friend, Major breckenridge

marks to those reported by Prof. Bal

detail, for my memory is only human;
but the general substance of You,
statement is correct, to my personal
knowledge.
CAS- have telegraphed to Major
Breckenridge to tell him of my pro
posed action, and as his remarks were
not secret and as Prof. Bailey has
already involved the Major, l feel
obliged to state that ] know your
statement is true. With regard to
Major Breckenridge. he is one of the
finest examples of the American gen
tleman and his distinguished family
has been famous for its chivalry in
the South for years. His statement

C0ST 0F EUROPEAN WAR IN
MEN, MONEY AND MUNITIONS
At LEAST SEVENTY BILLIONS
J. w. T. Mason Student Of Con-
aict Presents Interesting
Figures -.
100000 MEN WOUNDED
AND 100000 KILLED
Belligerents Face Stupendous
Debt After Peace Is De-
clared
BY J. W. T. MASON.

Especially written for this news
paper by the noted student Of the
European war-particuIarIy those
phazes Of it which have to do with
ito economic and financial prob
iems-whose name is familiar to
reads Of this paper. The figures
used by Mason are 40 accurate as
It 10 possible to obtain.)
To keep the war going for two years
and three months has cost Europe
SIS, 900, ,00O, 900 in cash paid out; not
less than $15,OOO,000,0 in property
destroyed or damaged and not yet
paid for; over 1900, 900 men killed and
about 100000 men wounded. To the
debit side of the account must be add
ed the fact that neither group of con-
testants has gained a decision, and all
are talking now of the war continuing
indefinitely.
The fear has spread that the side
which confesses it has had enough OF
the deep soaring losses will likewise
confess its inferiOrity to the other.
Generals and statesmen are discover
ing 1t is far harder to stop war than
to start one: and because the way out
is so much more difficult to find than
the way In, the end OF the human
wreckage and the money losses isn't
in sight.
The warning statesmen are telling
the world they have no time to count
the reckoning which the future will
exact. They are saying they have
their hands full taking care Of the
present, and the future must take care
of itself. The future Is doing so-for
the present. But, If the war were to
end tomorrow, the future would pre-
sent tax bill to the people of Europe
amounting to $2,750,000,OOO, annually
to meet the interest on the war debts
alone. The demand would be for an
immediate accounting, under pain OF
bankruptcy and revolution.
Cost Increases.
This is the extent to which the fll.
ture can be left to take of itself. For
each day the war goes on, the cost
mounts proportionately higher. The
expense Of the conflict is now $780,.
100000 daily. This means that for
every four hours of warfare, $1,000, ,OO0
is added to the yearly interest charge
for war debts. If the war lasts anoth

STATE LEVY REDUCED
IA HALF MILL
APPROPRIATION BILL CARRIES
PRACTICALLY SAME AMOUNT.
Bill Now Before the House for Con-
ideratiOn-ReductiOn of Levy Not
Reduction OF Taxes Always.
News and Courier.

News and Courier
Columbia, Jan. 29.-The general ap-
preparation bill went into the house to-
day and Chairman Lilies has the dis
tinction of having introduced this most
important measure earlier than it mas
ever before been presented. The com
mittee members, Chief Clerk Malcolm
MILLER and Mr.. J. C. Townsend, chief
clerk of the engrossing department, all
worked with persistency to get the bill
into the house today, so that it would
be ready for consideration on Monday.
The essenstial point Of the bill is
that it provides for tax levy Of 6 IL
mills, which is to cover all of the ex-
penses of the state government. Not
withstanding the very heavy demands
she appropriation bill shows a net re-
luction in the total of S79,260 80.
1t will be interesting to note how
continuously the appropriation bill has
lung around the TWO million dollar
mark. These figures will be interest
ing:
1914 .$2,213675.54
1915 ............ 2463,759.S2

1t is very mucn easier to undertake
% make reductions in an appropriation
dill than it is to accomplish this.
Chairman Lilies in a talk with the
newspaper men after the Introduction
Of the bill had this comment tc make:

deavored to serve the best interest OF

day morning, and after the introduce
ion of the appropriation bill adjourned
over until Monday night at s o'clock.
1t will be noted by an inspection OF
the appropriation bill that the state
warehouse commission is cot down
from $4,000 to $4,000, though the
state warehouse will this year pay into
The treasury more than that amount.
The state warehouse can not be de-
veloped on $4,000, and certainly
should be allowed to spend for the
farmers what it brings in as revenue;
otherwise it would be tantamount to a
tax upon the farmers. 1t remains to
be seen whRt the legislature will do
in this regard.
Two Valuable Members.
Newberry has two young members
of the house who are rapidly extend
ing their influence and field of useful
ness. They are attentive to their du-
ties, and they serve their county well.
Their insight into questions pending
before the legislature and their quiet
zeal in the interests of their county
and state have attracted the attention
of the body in which they serve. l
refer to Messrs. Neal w. Workman
and B. V. Chapman, who are represent
ing Newberry county worthily.
SALARY of Asylum Superintendent.
rne appropriation bill as introduced
by the ways and means committee OF
the house of representatives fixes the
salary Of the superintendent of the
state hospital for the insane at $4,000.
When Governor Manning appointed DR..
c. Fred Williams as superintenLe-t ne
issued statement, which was pub
lished in the Columbia State, among
other newspapers, in which the gov
ernor said:
81 nave found it necessary, in order
to get the trained, skilled physician l
was seeking for the position, to allow
salary of $4,000, but without the res
idence and without any perquisites. In
addition to the salary provided for in
the appropriation bill, will personally
borrow mopthly the balance OF the1sal-
ary, standing security for the same
and will report the matter next year
to the legislature to reimburse me II
it agrees in what have done"
This statement was published on
April Is, 1915.
THE ways and means committee eVl-
dently does not take the same view as
10 the necessity for $4,000 which was
taken by the governor but goes ahead
and increases the salary from $4,000
to s. 900, which is $4,000 more than is
raid the goyernor of the state.

believe we appropriated as the condi-
l.on OF the states finances justified.
The most careful consideration has
been given every item and we feel
sure that the actual needs Of every
department and every institution have
been supplied, and We think we have
provided funds for extension and i'm
provements where the needs for such
were great. The work Of the commit
tee has been absolutely harmonious.
All differences were settled in the COM
mittee room and we are ready to stand
by our work. I can not speak too
highly of the faithfulness of the mem
bers of the committee. 1t has been a
| day and night job since January II.
We are hopeful that the results of our
efforts will prove satisfactory to the
neople of the state. 1t will be noted
that for ordinary state purposes We
have appropriated less than 100000.
The amount for pensions and for the
improvement of the State Hospital for
the Insane increases the total as
